We had an excellent lunch here. Sometimes you're not sure you'll agree with the Yelp reviews, but this set was right on. Yes, it's a tiny hole in the wall place. Located on the west side of Andrews Avenue at the south end of the strip and at the corner of the street. We parked a couple doors north and walked over. Inside, there are only two small tables and one booth. I ordered a couple tacos and my husband had a burrito. They were doing a lot of take out when we were there. Many of the people stopping by were long time, regular customers. One guy said he'd been coming here for twelve years! I asked and they said the woman cooking has been doing so in the same location for 18 years. We dined in (we got the booth!). I had one chicken taco and one asada (steak). Both meats were well cooked, nicely seasoned, and hot off the grill. Even the taco "shells" were warmed. With mild white onions and cilantro, they were some of the better tacos I've ever had. I didn't need to add a thing. My husband's veggie burrito was packed with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onions, jalapeños, and sour cream. He said it was good. But he wished they'd added the cheese he'd wanted, too. They have Mexican sodas, and even Inca cola. We just shared a canned soda (American) and they nicely gave us a couple cups of ice. They now have Mexican ice cream bars in several flavors for dessert. And they're contemplating adding a couple other options as well. And yes, I'd come back.

Five Star Tacos! Five Star Burritos! Small corner shop turning out some really great authentic Mexican fare! My Veggie Burrito was very generous and satisfying!

Omg this has to be the best fish tacos I ever had. I pass by this taco spot everyday and Ive always been curious about it. Glad I took a chance. When entering the restaurant you're greeted immediately. They are super friendly and helpful. The ambiance is nice. Small but super intimate. You could seat inside or outside. This a family owned restaurant. I got the fish tacos and it was amazing. Fresh and delicious. The portion size was perfect. The also have vegan options. I've been here twice since. This place is a true gem.

Steak taco

Hidden gem with huge flavor. This little hole-in-the-wall spot serves truly authentic tacos made with fresh ingredients and warm, friendly service. A must-try if you're craving the real thing.

Asada (Steak) Burrito
Kristina S.

This place is definitely a hidden gem. One thing I was not prepared for was the lack of seating and how incredibly small it was. But the amazing customer service and flavorful food made up for it. The Tacos exceeded my expectations. While waiting for our food to be prepared we had the privilege to speak to the husband of the owner, he honestly made us feel like family. I can't say enough good things about the food here and how fresh it is. The burritos were huge and full of fresh ingredients and flavors, the tacos were amazing and the rice and beans perfectly complemented the food.

Asada (Steak) Taco Pollo (Chicken) Taco
Christina S.

The size of the restaurant may be "small" as some of the other reviews have mentioned but it's MIGHTY. The expression "good things come in small packages" is an understatement with this place. Cozy and warm from the authentic decor, pleasant owners and love poured into the food you can taste with every bite. Their service is impeccable! I needed a last minute order of 200 tacos (with sides) for my office and they over delivered! From the quality of food, the careful packaging, and the being able to complete the order within 2 hours is unheard of but they were able to do it - MIGHTY INDEED. I highly recommend this establishment for all my taco lovers! You won't be disappointed

Side order of chips and salsa
Eva-Tanja C.

We live really close to this little gem, always wanted to try it and FINALLY made it there for lunch today. What a huge loss that we waited so long! Their food is so good. I ordered the 2 carna asada taco lunch special which came with beans and rice. My husband ordered the carnita taco lunch special. The meat was so flavorful and juicy. The rice was fluffy, the beans were topped with melted cheese. We ordered a side of chips and salsa. The chips were warm, crunchy and seemed freshly made. Absolutely amazing lunch.Somewhat limited seating, most people were ordering carry-out. We will not wait too long to return here to eat.

After ordering sweet tea, we were brought a basket of tortilla chips and some spicy salsa. We ordered guacamole and it was perfect.

Instead of the usual cheese stuffed poblano pepper I opted for steak + cheese, which also had some veggies in it. Very tasty. El G is a charming place and the servers are nice and efficient. We arrived at 1 pm which we found out was the perfect time. It got very busy later. Can't wait to go back with others.

I am so glad I took a chance on this restaurant because we all agreed it will now become a staple in our rotation of places to eat. Additionally, the staff was so genuine, kind, and nice and I love that!

It's so good I've already gone two weeks in a row and I'm pretty sure it's about to become a regular thing for me. One of my favorite parts about this place is that the owners are actually the chefs in the kitchen, preparing all of the dishes themselves. They're incredibly friendly and even come out to chat with guests, which makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The barbacoa tacos are hands down my favorite. The meat is unbelievably tender literally falling apart and so juicy and flavorful. I also tried the campechano tacos (a mix of chorizo and steak) and they were sooo good. Perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. And let's talk about their chipotle salsa... I'm obsessed. I was putting it on everything on the table. It has the perfect smoky kick and just elevates every bite. The guac and chips were good, though they didn't quite stand out compared to how incredible the tacos were. But honestly, those tacos alone are reason enough to keep coming back. Safe to say I've found my new Taco Tuesday spot . Can't wait for my next visit!

We found this restaurant on Yelp. Of course we both got tacos! I got the short rib birria tacos that also came with a little bowl of beans and rice. My partner also got tacos (pork and beef), which came with a large bowl of beans and rice. My short rib birria tacos were so filling. I could only eat two of the three and had to bring the third one home along with her bowl of beans and rice. It was a lot of food. They were also very cheesy! The dipping sauce was good but it was different than I was used to. For drinks, I just ordered a beer and she ordered a crab cocktail. We didn't stay that long because we were both tired that day. For some reason. There is parking right out front. Of course you have to pay to park. It's a very intimate spot on. The staff is very friendly. He might be back before we leave.

The server, Raul, went out of his way to make sure we were happy. He even got us an order of churros after an episode with a screaming child at the next table over. They were very busy and the deliciousness is surely the reason why. Prices are reasonable as well. The tortillas are made in house and were so good...I could smell the corn when I opened them! Yum! Again, can't say enough about Raul. He was juggling a lot of tables, running food and busing tables and doing an awesome job, and still made us feel like the most important customers in the place!

How did this place get 4 stars?…read more Terrible experience. I ordered at 12:00 from their website ordering system. Took my credit card payment and confirmed the order was received. Said to pick up by 12:21. I arrive at 12:40 and there was no order. She wanted me to wait at the bar for my food. I told here I had a meeting at 1:00 and I was trying to quickly get some food before my meeting. I had no time to wait. That is why I ordered in advance. My response was "it's Menudo, it should already be made, just scoop me a bowl and let me go". She said, "no we have to make it" which makes no sense. Menudo is slow cooked or pressure cooked for hours. It is not a "made to order" item. In fact, most places have it only on certain days and when it is gone, it is gone. Which tells me their menudo is frozen and they needed to heat it up. I have no idea why this place has 4 stars. It was as empty as the first time I tried to give this place a try a couple of years ago when they charged me an insane amount of money for a salad that barely had any chicken on it. I should have trusted my gut. I was fooled by the new rating status which is clearly reviews done by friends or paid reviewers. If I could give a place a 0 I would. I just might be hungry but it was a huge waste of my previous time.
