Trash outside the door. Dirt and grime inside. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting- no soap or towels and piss everywhere . Food didn't have much flavor. I feel like I need a dose of antibiotics after eating here. Should have stuck with my instincts and turned around and left. read more

Best birria tacos hands down. They provide plenty of sauce, limes, and dipping sauces.

We have been twice in like two weeks. I went once a while ago. Took me forever to get my husband to finally join me but now he wants to come here all the time the tacos are delicious and my favorite is the taco salad/tostadas. The staff are incredible. They're so kind and attentive and make sure you have what you need. It's so cozy and welcoming. It has a lot of tables but can fill up fast. read more

Best Mexican in Akron hands down! Very delicious and fresh. Had the burrito and it was amazing

The food was delicious! I will be coming back . I highly recommend this place chefs kiss

Hands down the best Birria tacos in the city. Never had a bad meal . The staff is very friendly. Never a long wait time. Food stays hot until I get home to pig out read more

Absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever had. I'm a fan of Mexican but a lot of Mexican places are kinda the same thing. Not here. Everything tastes homemade and is bursting with flavor. I regularly get the Barilla tacos and Frito burrito (a burrito that's been deep fried) and both are stellar. This is my favorite hidden gem lunch spot. read more

Quite literally the best tacos I have ever had in my life. Service was simple yet effective. You come in and find a spot to sit, order at the window and they will bring your food to your table. Drinks are self serve. You then pay at the window when finished and simply remind them what you orderd. Very simple yet very effective. Be wary of ordering the Birria tacos, you may become addicted. I learned this the hard way... Ambiance was nice, lots of seating avaliable. read more

I'm fortunate enough to work close by and stop here about once a week. What a phenomenal spot! Food is always amazing (I get the chicken chimichangas, Barilla tacos, or the Frito Burrito) and they never disappoint. Service is always very fast. If you're looking for a very casual spot with great service and authentic mexican look no further. read more

The staff was friendly and service was extremely fast. A heads up to new customers...you order at a counter and then someone brings the food to your table but I'm still not really sure if we had an official "server." This is a very very small establishment with maybe 5 small booths. My table was a bit sticky but nothing to complain about. The food was authentic and good but nothing amazing; just a bit better than others I've tried. read more

Best Mexican food anywhere in Ohio. Been heremover 20 years and lived around the country. Only other one as good was in Hayes, Kansas. Taqueria El Paso doesn't have frills -- it has good food and wonderful people (Rey and Marisol). Afraid to say too much or it might get more popular than it already is. If you want Taco Bell, Chipotle? Fine. But tjat's not Mexican food read more

My Mexican foreman told me about this place and I haven't stopped coming back. The food is amazing, but their home made hot sauce is what keeps me coming back. You order at the front window and pay there. They bring out your food to your table. The place used to be a food truck, and has since upgraded to a sit down restaurant for you to enjoy the food. Drinks are self serve and the place itself is colorful and inviting. I'll never stop eating there as long as I live or as long as it's in business. read more

I moved here from San Diego, where we had the best taco shops! I miss the food there and looked for a taqueria here. This place has THE BEST barilla tacos! The El Pastor delicious also. It hit the spot while I was homesick for my taco shop from San Diego. They also had yummy refreshing horchata and pina. Perfect after an afternoon of hiking. If you are looking for authentic tacos and flavor this is the place. read more

This is hands down the best place to get a huge, delicious and cheap burrito in south Akron. It's just a little hole in the wall. Nothing fancy but your tastebuds will be singing. Every time I come here, the food is perfect. The menu is small but the selection of meat is really good. I like the cabeza & lengua the best. Don't knock it until you try it. Yum! read more

Definitely some good tacos. I had the beef tongue and steak and they were very good. Typical street tacos s a lot of flavor. My daughter had beef tacos and loved them. A friend got the burrito and it was huge for the price and tasty. His daughter got a quesadilla and it was loaded and big. Small tiny place so we did takeout but def worth the 11 minute drive from our hotel read more

Amazing food and service. The remodel is awesome and accommodates more seating. Busy place, and the great food is why

their closing times don't reflect what is online, etc. it'll say a closing time on google then on their actual physical menu will have a completely different closing time. i would always call to make sure what time they close before considering eating/ordering from here. read more

The best Birria tacos in Akron!! They have a great selection of Jarritos too. Guava is our new favorite!

Delicious carne asada tacos. Great value also! 3 for $5.50. These are the most authentic tacos I've had in NE Ohio read more

My favorite Mexican food since leaving Southern California. Delicious and perfectly priced. lol I just read the other reviews... Lots of southern Californians recommending this place. And we know our Mexican food being so close to Tijuana. I'd also like to mention I don't know any of the other reviewers on here. read more

Best authentic Mexican food I've ever had. I used to think El Rincon was the bees knees around here, but then I discovered this gem. Hole-in-the-wall place, but the food is great. Tacos and quesadillas are on point. Order the Christmas Huerache too. I'm sure I spelled that wrong. I just wish they had an online menu. read more

Luv luv this restaurant. Food is aweso.e. I have not had anything i didn't like. Although the Street Tacos are my favorite!! Crave them alot. You will not be sorry. read more

I moved to Ohio from Southern California and have been missing authentic Mexican food. Luckily after a few months of trying places here and there I found this place. I am no longer homesick for Mexican food. read more

I feel a little bad for the millions of people in Mexico City that are losing their great chefs to Akron, Ohio! But luckily for us, Taqueria El Paso is another fantastic option for completely authentic mexican cuisine. The owner is the cousin of the owner of Taqueria La Loma and helped create their menu when he worked at the old La Loma food truck. He decided to branch out on his own and opened the Taqueria El Paso food truck a few years ago. He told me that he made a point of creating new flavor profiles and unique food options rather than just copying the existing options from La Loma. And it seems like it has worked out really well as he has now recently moved from the truck into a permanent location at the same plaza. The food at Taqueria El Paso is very fresh and the portion sizes are very generous with larger-than-average slices of meat in the various menu options. Everything I have tried so far has been fantastic. There are a couple notable menu options at El Paso. They offer a marinated Chicharrón meat option which is really good and shown in the rightmost taco I have pictured. They also carry Huaraches which are basically the same as sopes but 3x bigger and also have avocado on top. Their cabeza (beef cheek) is outstanding as well and I highly recommend ordering a taco with it if you have yet to try it. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of a cow to eat! It is a very small restaurant so the tables can easily fill up around meal times and the small size and proximity to the kitchen will also make your clothes smell pretty bad. This was a significant enough factor that since my first visit every other order has been to-go rather than dine in. Taqueria El Paso is inexpensive, authentic, fresh and delicious. It worth going out of your way to try and should become a weekly staple if you live nearby! It is a great example of some of the best Mexican food you can get - anywhere. read more

Simply the best taqueria in northeast Ohio and it isn't even close. Actually authentic tacos. The best al pastor tacos I've had this side of the border. I also highly recommend the flank steak quesadilla. I'm constantly on the lookout for good authentic mexican, especially taquerias. This place is the best around. I should also mention the taqueria salsa is spot on. The red is the perfect amount of spicy with lots of flavor, the green is less spicy and a little sour as it should be. Always good to call ahead as this place is very busy at lunch. read more

I love this restaurant. The portions are good (and often leave leftovers!) and the taste is solid. The menu has a great options (the Torta is amazing) and I haven't had any of the different meat selections that I didn't like. read more

This was an amazing little joint. I got the three-taco combo. I ordered one steak, one beef tongue and one chorizo taco. Often chorizo tends to be greasy and hit or miss. This chorizo taco ended up being my favorite however. The tortillas were tasty fresh. The cook was singing back in the kitchen which is always a good sign. read more

the BEST mexican food I've ever had!! incredible friendly service with a great atmosphere!

Food is fantastic. The environment is fun and high energy. The beef has great flavor.

Indeed it doesn't look like much when you pass by easy to miss when driving it's so tiny and limited parking spaces that have been extended onto the sidewalk. By far hands down the best tacos I've ever had including Mexico LOL. This is something everybody must try I even drove my father from Cleveland down here and he agrees it's the best ever. I like the Carnitas I like the chicken I like the carne asada all excellent. And the two sauces they give you I believe tomatillos and tomato. read more

I love this place! The chorizo tacos are the bomb. The rice and beans are on point. They're sauces are homemade and they give you a side of cucumbers which makes the dish look more colorful and prettier and adds this freshness to it. Then they have these homemade drinks,my favorite is the horchata and I also love the pineapple drink too! I could eat here everyday. read more

Delicious food!!! The people are friendly and food is quick! Most delicious Mexican food for the money!

Completely disappointed! While in town on a job many of my colleagues recommended this spot with rave reviews so I finally was able to check it out. Picked up my order and got back to the job site to find it was incorrect. It happens. So, I took it back and had them remake it. No biggie. Get back to the site again and surprise, wrong again. $15 in burrito thrown in the trash and me with no lunch. While this spot is a bit more authentic, save the headache and go a mile down the road to Mi Casa. read more
