El Borrego is actually a grocery store with a restaurant inside. We had a hard time finding it because Yelp directions take you a block out of your way. There is actually easy street parking in front of the building. El Borrego is a favorite of the locals in Kokomo. The tables and chairs are carved colorful tropical scenes. The dining room is not fancy, but functional. A generous portion of complementary chips and a fresh salsa come out quickly. Our server was friendly and attentive. They serve traditional Mexican favorites and I was in the mood for a couple tacos. You can buy a platter of 20 mixed tacos for $69 or order them individually. I selected the soft shell Tacos Supreme, one chicken and one shrimp. The tacos were very good with lots of cheese, meats and lettuce. I also picked up some tortillas in their grocery store. They carry an impressive variety of spices and dried peppers. I return and recommend. read more

The restaurant is attached to a store. Seat yourself style with typical bright colored decor. The menu was large and had lots of things I wish I could have tried. Found the flavors of the chorizo I had and the rice great. Their salsa is delicious and their sauces are great I would buy a bottle of all of it if they sold it. Friendly staff . Highly recommend read more

Food was fast hot and outstanding! Huge portion size and excellent customer service. Will be back

Wow! Found this place on a whim yesterday when my husband and I were passing through Kokomo walking the Industrial Heritage Trail, which is a short walk away. I order the Tacos Al pastor to-go. Definitely the best I've ever had! The restaurant is tucked in the back of their grocery store and also has very nice seating. The staff is very friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

If you have not been here to eat, you are missing out. Incredible food, homemade fresh salsa. You could really taste the cilantro and onion. Our food came fast and the service was with a smile. Am making this place a weekly destination! read more

Best authentic Mexican food in town. I have no complaints. Fish and cow tongue tacos are amazing. The beans have lard in them so if you avoid pork like me, skip the refried beans. read more

Best authentic Mexican around. Everything I've tried is wonderful! Street tacos are my fave

The tacos are very good! We tried the Cabeza and the Baracoa tacos and they were so delicious!

I grew up in the L.A. area so I know good food and I know "hole in the wall" gems. We moved to this area about a month ago and we could not find a good Mexican restaurant until now. As you walk in, the smell gave off that L.A. Olvera Street vibe. their tamales are really good, they could use more filing but you won't be disappointed by the flavoring. I had their pastor and carnitas gordItas and it was really good. It also has a small market inside where you can pick up those hard to find Mexican items you won't find at Kroger or Meijer. The food is flavorful and the plating isn't fancy but who cares. I've had fancy plates but the food was terrible. The only thing I wish they had was homemade tortilla chips because that always takes salsa and chips up a notch for sure. But it's not a deal breaker for me. We will for sure be returning here. read more

Food is good, tastes authentic and I mean the tacos and soup is worth the money. They also have a mini store to pick up items you may need for the home. read more

My job relocated me two Kokomo from Chicago. So I'm a stickler for good authentic steak tacos. It threw me off how the restaurant was in the back of the store but I went with it and it turned out amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection. I've been to some Mexican restaurants where the steak tacos are slightly tough. These were so tender and the way the tortillas were cooked with just a slight crunch was amazing. The fish tacos also were phenomenal. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Mexican food. read more

People in front of me got over charged and I was kicked out for having my service dog with me I didn't even get any type of customer service. They could at least brought the menu to the grocery side where they said I could stay with my service dog and place was crowded with empty shelf's and over priced food. read more

True authentic Mexican food. You can go ahead and skip the American style Mexican food. Your palate will thank you.

Service was horrible, the waitress was dragging her feet, the food was even worse, it was so disgusting that I couldn't even finish it.

Best authentic Mexican food in Kokomo! Hands down worth the drive. It's in the back of a grocery store. The service is always good. I haven't had anything I didn't like on the menu. read more

Love the food! Absolutely amazing! The staff is so friendly!! Will definitely be returning. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious, but the pastor was my favorite. Also, the service was great. Best Mexican restaurant I've found in indiana so far (we previously lived in San Diego, the Hispanic cuisine there is hard to beat). This will be a place we frequent I'm sure.. read more

Just moved across the street so I've been visiting this restaurant often. The service is great- staff has been nothing but kind and attentive. The food here is authentic, flavorful, and delicious. Finding this place has been such a pleasant surprise. read more

No need to try any other Mexican joint in town. Hands down best tacos in Kokomo! Staff are super nice and attentive!

born and raised in LA and this is the best Mexican food I've found in town. Reminds me of home everytime I go.

Food is excellent - but really expensive for a Mexican restaurant in a grocery. 3 tamales and a beer $13.00!

Tacos are Amazing but everything else is okay I wish they had chunky salsa for the meals I only go here when I crave tacos authentic style Tamales are alright as well read more

Disclaimer: I grew up in Nashville, TN, which is full of all kinds of taco stands. AND my Dad is from Mexico. I have been spoiled with good Mexican food. So, when I tell you El Borrego has the best tacos I've ever had, I mean it! The barbacoa (served on the weekends)... the carnitas... the al pastor... the horchata... AND they have all of the things I cook with in their grocery. So, so good. read more

Idk about the rest of the menu but the tacos SUCK. F*cking terrible! I'm expecting good traditional tacos. Steak. Something told me to get supreme because if I a would have got them made regular I wouldn't have paid. Their steak tastes like Taco Bell ground beef. Not the steak. Yes, Taco Bell steak is better. Just thought I'd put that out there. I hate when restaurants can't make tacos, there's aren't even as good as street tacos from a truck. Terrible. read more

They have the best tacos in town, and possibly in the state of Indiana! Chicken and steak tacos are both 9/10, with your choice of flour or corn tortillas. Don't let the put side appearance fool you, this place is the go to if you want REAL tacos. read more
