Nice and clean on the inside and the service was very friendly. Would come back and try it again March 2025 So we went back for lunch. I failed to submit my previous review. Oops haha Anyways tried the lengua tacos and the Al pastor sopas. This time we traveled to the hot sauce bar and wow those sauces are amazing. Still 18.99 for three tacos seems steep epically for lengua. The flan was home made for sure but could have lived without the whipped topping.

Yuri was our waitress and she was very inattentive, my boyfriend asked for no sour cream, pico de gallo, cheese sauce on the burrito, and no guacamole. When his order comes out it has all of those things and when he stated to the waitress that he didn't want those things, she stated that he never told her that when he clearly did. And then proceeds to bring his burrito back to get new stuff. We also asked for lemons 3 times and she never brought them. We ended up having to ask the manager for her to bring them to us. Also another weird thing, he is Guatemalan and she asked him if he was Mexican and made him uncomfortable. But she never checked on us but was being flirty with him and kept making him uncomfortable. I won't be returning

Next to what I fear is a sketchy situation of an abandoned hotel is a cute little Mexican…read morerestaurant. Inside is clean and we were seated quickly. They are newer so they are still training staff so we had two servers taking care of us. The Chilaquiles were ok, would have been better if the chips were actually home made and not from a bag. The beans were just beans and the rice lacked flavor as well. The el pastor was well flavored and with the addition of their house hot sauces leveled up the dish. The Hawaiian torta was something special. The bread felt like it was kissed and buttered by an angel. The fries were odd, did not like them so much. The menu did mention "ask about dessert" but we were politely told dessert was not an available option yet. That's ok. We will be back to try them again.

The quaint & coziest place!! Once a week my husband and…read moremyself try a new restaurant around town, I love this weekly tradition. We tried El Taco (my week to choose) and I was excited to try! I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and new age of the restaurant. Just at a glance of the menu I knew that this was authentic Mexican food. No fried chicken tenders and fries in sight. The waitress was very polite , even with the limited English she spoke. I love that she automatically brought us water with our salsa and chips. Also, they were so good! Chips were not stale and the salsa had a small amount of heat without being overpowering. We ordered a cheese dip and it was too spicy for my preference, which is probably one of the only downside I had. My husband ordered Carnitas and he said they were so good. They were fall off the bone. I had the quesadilla lunch and chose grilled chicken as my meat. The chicken was fantastic, juicy, and flavorful. The tortilla you could tell has just been made, which I thought was such a small touch that made a difference in my experience. I truly felt like I had stepped into a small home of an old Spanish woman who had cooked all her life. It's definitely worth a shot if you love authentic Mexican food. Oh! The man probably don't understand this but as a woman seeing the bathroom, extremely clean just topped off my whole review of the restaurant. So modern, clean and well-maintained. As a woman with small children also, thank you clean bathrooms are a must. ** if you're wondering why there is only four stars instead of five. I usually grade up to a four. I have met very few restaurants that impressed me enough for five star reviews. Those are very sacred in my opinion!

This is decent Mexican food if you're looking for something to scratch the itch while in Pensacola…read more My main gripe with this restaurant was the service, they were so unwilling to make any modifications to the food you order. They wouldn't let me add guacamole or salsa to my burritos. It was so strange. They also pre-slice the burritos, so please check yours for fragments of foil before eating!! I found a bunch of little flakes in mine. I got two burritos, first was the standard burrito, with chicken and it was okay. It was some of the blandest chicken I've ever tasted and this is the burrito they didn't put guacamole on. The second burrito was a California burrito with chicken and they refused to put salsa on it. Same bland chicken as the other burrito, but this one came with pico on it, which was a welcome addition, but this also lacked the flavor and punch I'm accustomed to. They used tots as opposed to fries, which was a cool idea. The chips were good, but they charge extra for it.

The staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. We've been here multiple times, and our servers have never disappointed. The service is consistently excellent. Now, the food... wow. The fajitas are incredible--hot, sizzling, perfectly seasoned, and generous in portion. And the carnitas are hands down some of the best I've ever had: tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Those two dishes are absolute stars on the menu. And don't even get me started on the margaritas! They're delicious, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. As someone who grew up in California, where amazing Mexican food is everywhere, I don't say this lightly: this is one of the best--if not the best--Mexican restaurants in Pensacola. Whether you're looking for great food, fantastic margaritas, or outstanding service, you can't go wrong here. We keep coming back, and they've never let us down. Highly recommend!
