    First time here and my son got the Barria queso tacos and I ordered the asada steak torta. Both were hot, filling, and delicious. Friendly staff and a hidden treasure. We opted for takeout since we had worked a long day. Still was hot when we got home. Definitely will be back again.

    Frijoles rancheros

    Yum. Great, friendly, welcoming service and fabulous authentic food make Cessar's a 5 star in my book. The place is not fancy, even a little dated so don't expect an upscale taqueria. We ordered a mix of corn tacos and Quesabirria tacos up at the counter then took a seat. Our server, brought out water and samples of their frijoles rancheros. The beans were fresh, spicy and delicious. The food is prepared fresh and takes 12 or so minutes to come out. The chicken tacos were delicious and refreshing. The chicken was tender and moist. I added lime and bit of their spicy green sauce. The Quesabirria taco was fabulous - packed with spicy tender beef and cheese and a crunchy fried shell. The taco was served with Birria juice. When the server saw that the tacos were too spicy for my granddaughter, he brought her a big plate of rice, which she loved. I was touched by his kindness. They serve a mix of Mexican sodas and $1 coffee (no alcohol). They also serve breakfast options. They are located a block off interstate 70 with east on and off.

    Small taco shop in front of Home Depot parking lot. Not gonna lie, the establishment is not very inviting and it lacks esthetics BUT these places have the best tacos and I know it. Cessar Tacos was no exception. I wasn't super hungry so I just got two tacos- barbacoa and asada. There are more than 10 to choose from- so it was a hard decision. My order was ready in about ten minutes. tacos had lots of cilantro and onion just how I like them. I loved how tender the barbacoa was and asada had great seasoning. Highly recommended. Reasonably priced. Give them a try!

    Steak fajitas

    Ambience is quick cafe style, you can eat in, but the carry out business is booming! We ate in and the service was excellent. Food was fresh and hot, presentation was superb check the pics. I had the fish tacos, and they were heaped with ingredients and piping hot. Be warned the red sauce is hot, but the green sauce will light you up! Wife had the chicken fajitas she said it was a 5 of 5. Daughter has the steak fajitas and she rated a 5 of 5! Overall excellent. Dont let the exterior scare you off this is a great local original Mexican restaurant!!!!

    Burnt Lengua Taco

    Went here and the meat in the taco was Burnt. See picture for evidence. Also my brother ordered a veggie fajitas taco and they gave him beans with lettuce and tomato's that's it. On top of that it took 30-45 mins to get this crap. Horrible dinner couldn't even finish.

    Great Food. Authentic. I used to live in Southern California and I have returned to the Midwest a couple years ago. This is one of the best places to take me back to So cal!

    Happened to be hungry and in the east side. I'm always on the lookout for hole in the wall authentic taco places. This place did not disappoint! It's located in a old waffle house and they maintained that vibe with no real updates inside. The sign out front still maintains the waffle house aesthetic. My wife and I both had tacos. I had the Barbacoa Birria tacos, which were absolutely phenomenal. Seasoned well and the portions were very large. My wife had chicken and she said that they were very good too. We both shared chips and guac. The chips were thin variety. The were super fresh and fried to order. The guacamole was extremely fresh and very tasty. The service and staff was friendly and attentive. The prices were reasonable. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Huevos rancheros; over easy eggs and salsa verde, with beans and rice.
    Michael B.

    Conveniently located north of 21st street on Post Rd., they serve solid tacos and other items. I enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros with two over-easy eggs on top of fried tortillas (and a few tortillas were served on the side), with refried beans, rice, and a small helping of lettuce/tomato. The eggs were covered with Salsa Verde that was obviously homemade and absolutely delicious. Very friendly servers and chef. It might have taken a bit longer than expected to be served, but it was well worth the wait.

    Great service. Food was cooked to perfection and ready quickly. Their selection is phenomenal. Easily the best tacos I've had in a very long time. I had asada, barbacoa, carnitas and camarones.

    Quesobirria tacos
    Kristen C.

    I have always loved tacos, so I'm alwayd down to try new tacos. This place moved into a vacated Waffle House, and we were so bummed about the loss of all-night terrible food, we ignored Cesar and his tacos. Husband and I decided to try it out when I discovered they have birria tacos. I see pictures of birria constantly, and even made some based on a Pinterest recipe, but I've never had them made by somebody who knows what they're doing. I believe these were made by angels. They were some of the best tacos I have ever had and the consume is just amazing. My husband had a lengua torta and raved about that as well. DO NOT let this location intimidate you, it's really not a bad spot (the traffic in and out kinda sucks). This place is phenomenal.

    Quesabirrias Corn Tacos

    my absolute favorite place to get quesabirria! highly highly recommend! Staff is always friendly and provide quick service.

I like a dim atmosphere, but it was hardly lit enough to read the menu. It was difficult to navigate as it was mostly in Spanish. Extremely limited vegetarian options which I'm not sure I can assume were actually without chicken base in the rice, etc. I didn't even see a vegetable fajita on the menu. My vegetarian burrito sans crema and cheese consisted of little more than rice and a couple small diced pieces of avocado and diced tomato. Iceberg lettuce? I saw corn niblets and a pea fall out. Bland. Hot sauce choices not fantastic. What kind of burrito contains no beans?? Everyone else at my table received flatware. I was given a plastic fork. Once I received an actual fork & knife, they kept tearing the paper underneath my burrito. Strangely served with raw cucumber (ick) & lime wedges on the side. Edible at best. The atmosphere looked interesting upon entry, but it felt grungy, the chairs were heavy. I was seated right next to a brick wall/chimney. Service was sparse. Definite language barrier. The dish my companions received was an array of meat in a molcajete. Mixed feedback on the peppers being ungodly too hot & some of it, especially the sausage, having a good flavor. It was massive & messy. It was interesting initially but definitely didn't look appetizing to me. That came with a bowl of beans in sauce with what we later discovered were Chicharrón on top. It looked like boiled mystery chicken skin. A friend from SoCal I consulted online had no idea what it was from my photo as we tried to discern it & they didn't realize it was even Mexican food from the appearance. It was assumed I was at an Asian joint. We had to ask for drink refills far into our meal. I was given a fresh new cup. The server took another person's cup from the table and refilled it in the back. That was strange and seemed unsanitary. We didn't get everything we asked for. I'd say language was the problem except for the fact the server had understood my requests when "crema" was the only Spanish word I used. Ladies' room had room for one person at a time. The sink was backing up. It felt dingy like the rest of the building. I'm glad they had paper towels and not just a hand blower. I didn't choose the restaurant. It was one of the worst if not THE most horrible Mexican meals & experiences I've had in my life. Hard pass. I'd gladly pay more for better fare elsewhere. I can make far superior at home.

The tacos (your choice of protein) were $1.49 each. I was honestly surprised that they had plenty of onions,cilantro, two different sauces & a baggie of radishes & limes for that price. I will say, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the shredded chicken although clearly seasoned (color wise) with sazon, it was dried completely out with only a hint of flavor. I added the green sauce on the chicken ones and it gave it a little umph but then I tasted the amazing seasoning in the rice and beans & WOW. I put a little of both on the chicken tacos and that was just what they needed. All in all the tacos were an 8/10 and the rice+beans were 10/10. The rice was cooked perfectly & the best compliment to the soupy beans. Parking: TERRIBLY positioned & shared lot, spots are tight & all the businesses stay with a crowd. Service: the cashier wasn't unpleasant BUT I had every intention on sitting down and eating inside (they have about 8 tables and 4 small booths) but she assumed I wanted it to-go without asking me as she asked the family of Spanish/hispanic/latino/a heritage before AND after me. In the moment I didn't feel slighted because I think I was just so tired & hangry but it definitely is memorable now that I'm writing the review a day later. I could have very well corrected her and said I wanted to dine in but I'm not one to force it when I feel unwanted or unwelcomed . This by no means discredits the food, it was wonderful & so was the price. I wouldn't go as far as to say I'll never be back because it would be a lie - what I WILL do moving forward is speak up for myself as it could have been done unintentionally.

That was positive. It tasted like it was just the ingredients without seasoning. The salsa Verde tasted like just green tomatoes, and the same for the red. The spicy one, tasted like Tomatoes and spicy peppers. The menu appeared to have a nice variety of different items. I would definitely give them a second chance on something else.
