This taqueria has amazing tacos: their meat is fresh and flavorful, and their other ingredients are high-quality. I plan to make this a go-to place for Mexican food in Livermore from now on; in fact, I will recommend this as a Friday or Thursday work lunch place for a group of my co-workers and me. Their chips and salsa are also very good, and I am glad I tried their Mexican Coca-Cola (made with cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup). read more

This is pretty much our go-to place now for some quick Mexican food. Located in the same complex as Mc Donald's, it is at the back with some parking spaces in front. We usually barely wait when we go here for some early dinner. I have only tried the tacos but it is very good. Always just packed with meat. I love it. I also like their horchata and the the chips you get with the meal. read more

El Castillito Taqueria - Carne asada and buche tacos - Mexican Near Me - Livermore, California

The food at el castillito is absolutely incredible. Nice staff. What truly set el Castillito apart is the owner. You can tell he genuinely cares about their guests. After we were told that unfortunately there wasn't enough menudo, because of the high orders, he made it work to serve us a plate and put it on the house. Very nice person. Besides the menudo we had a carne asada taco sala, alpastor tacos and grilled shrimp botana. You can't go wrong with their fresh micheladas served in an ice cold beer mug! There agua frescas are the best. Everything was very delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Your basic taqueria located in Livermore. Not in downtown but not far from it ,on P street. Looks like a family affair type place which so many taquerias are. The price is great , service good too. Without maps app I probably would have not know this place even existed. Right next door to McDonald's. I had the two taco combo meal which includes a beverage rice and refried beans. Th carne asada was terrific but the chicken pastor didn't seem fresh as I'd made already sitting out and given to me . Free chips and salsa, indoor and outdoor plenty of seats . Bathroom (with key needed )for customers similar to a gas station . They have other plates with pictures so I'm not really gonna judge this place on one visit . Location makes it non busy. Tip: Napkins are next to the tortilla chips and salsa on high counter. read more

One of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. It's no frills, clean, and quick. The chicken is moist and tender. The steak was very tender and my kids ate it up. The wet burrito with green sauce was incredible. The portions are huge so keep that in mind. I will keep going back. read more

So good!! The mole is fantastic, service is excellent, and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. Really glad to have found this place.

They weren't kidding when they said super burrito. One super burrito is big enough for two and trust me I can eat. I had the super shrimp and carne asada burrito and would say 10/10 tasty. This place gets overlooked so please hit the brakes and give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Hole in the wall. We always eat lunch here when we're in Livermore. We always order the taco salad for around $15. They're so generous with the meat and it is so delicious! Service is quick! 5-10 minutes. Highly recommended! read more

This place has been open decades despite being tucked away in the corner of a mall and all but invisible from the road. The food is delicious, a good deal, and filling, the owner and staff are kind and helpful, and the view from the outside dining area is great, especially if you like trains. Special recognition to the breakfast burrito... eggs, chorizo and pico de gayo in a tortilla, simple, generously sized, and delicious! read more

Quaint spot with awesome food. Friendly family place neatly tucked away so be sure to look for it!

This was a DoorDash order, so I cannot attest to how the store looks visually inside or about wait times. I was craving Mexican food and this place showed up on DoorDash for me to try. I always enjoy Mexican tacos and the price I paid looked rather reasonable. Tacos: These were really good. The sauce and protein were plentiful and it was not too messy as I wrapped everything together to pick it up. It was not too salty either, thought a bit dry. Rice and Bean burrito: I ordered this as an accompaniment to my tacos. It was pretty good to eat. Can't expect more from this type of burrito . Overall, a nice place to grab a bite to eat. read more

Finally a good burrito that is within delivery range! I ordered the super burrito with al pastor and it was excellent. The size was, indeed, super. I ended up splitting it over two meals. The sides are also very generously proportioned. My partner ordered a burrito along with a side of rice and beans, which was large enough to be a meal unto itself. Great food! I'll have to swing by in person sometime. read more

My wife and I found this place on a search on a Sunday morning when the other Mexican place we wanted to try was unexpectedly closed. The location of El Castillito is kinda hard to find and the setting is odd, but the food is great. The portion size is HUGE and the prices are really good. Service is no frills and all at the counter, but that's OK. It's real Mexican at it's best. Definitely worth seeking it out. read more

This was the 3rd or 4th time picking up from here. Their surf & turf burrito is solid. My wife enjoyed her veggie burrito too. The portions are huge. Fantastic value for how much food you get, and really reasonable prices which is rare these days. They have self serve chips and salsa when you pick up your food or eat in. Pretty basic interior, but plenty of seating. We've never eaten there though. Staff is friendly, food is ready on time for pickup, our order is right, and the food is filling and good. Definitely worth a shot. read more

I recently stopped by for lunch and ordered 3 tacos - 2 al pastor and 1 carnitas. Three tacos is a perfect lunch portion! Both meats were delicious, but I especially enjoyed the carnitas. Self-serve chips and salsa, featuring several varieties of salsa. There is plentiful seating indoors and outside. Overall, the meat was flavorful, the salsa was spicy, and the service was speedy and efficient. Solid taco spot! I'll definitely be back! read more

Service was really nice and the food was amazing, my card declined but they gave me the food anyway, legit never had anything that nice happen to me before read more

Pretty good carnitas burrito. The first 1/4 of the burrito was all sour cream though. Once I got to the meat, it was on. The carnitas was pretty moist and had a nice little char to it. Luckily I only found a couple pieces of jiggle that I had to pick out and flick on a napkin. My fiancé also had a carnitas burrito but he had pico de gallo in his. Their pico has jalapeños which makes it too spicy for my timid tongue. The chips were pretty good, but better with some salt sprinkled. I got my guacamole on the side to dip. Good thing too because it was runny. My fiancé used the red salsa for the chips and it turned out that was a mistake. Unfortunately he spent most of the evening on the porcelain thrown. His stomach was all bubbly and angry. I think we'd come back but would stay away from the salsas unless we're in the mood for a colon cleansing. read more

El Castillito Taqueria - Carnitas burrito - Mexican Near Me - Livermore, California

Hole in the wall type kind of restaurant. A must to try! I have ordered: Wet Buritto, spicy shrimp, 3 tacos (carne asada + shrimp). All of them are wonderful, on the grizzy side. The mexican rice is delicious! Spicy shrimp is very spicy for me, lots of flavors. They shrimps are not fully peel, kind of understand so it won't be dried (and lower food cost). I have ordered no bean, but accidently, they put in my order which I'm kind of glad to try it. I will come again and again. read more

El Castillito Taqueria - Lengua, cabeza tacos@2.49 with red salsa - Mexican Near Me - Livermore, California

This place used to be a lot better 6 years ago when i first started going here. I was underwhelmed by the quality. I ordered a burrito with Al Pastor, the meat tasted like they cooked it in the same pan they just finished cooking fish in. The tortilla chips tasted rancid and stale. The salsa was was the only thing that tasted ok. I feel like I could get better tacos at any other spot for a better value. The atmosphere was nothing special either--just your typical fast-food taco joint with no real charm. I was really disappointed overall and won't be returning there. There are plenty of other places in the area with better food. Would not recommend. read more

I stopped by about 30 minutes before closing and ordered 20 tacos (at about $2 each) and the folks were super kind and quick. Thanks guys! The tacos were tasty (your pretty standard carne asada soft tacos and pollo soft tacos). I even special ordered the onions out of them and that was no problem. They have free chips and a little salsa bar. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. I'll be coming back. read more

My son ended up in the hospital for 4 days from eating here with a severe case of Salmonella poisoning after lunch on a Taco Tuesday with one of his friends who also became ill. I hope they've cleaned up this place so nobody else gets sick.

Great hole in the wall I really wanted to finally take my wife and foster kids to try and yesterday they were very accommodating and friendly as well as patient when seeing us go through our mayhem of a day with our foster kids which one is a baby that needed a lot of attention.

Pleasantly surprised. From the first engagement with the woman at the register this little treasure had me hooked. She was so friendly it took me by surprise how sweet and funny she was. I ordered the super steak and shrimp burrito and it was super. The cheese was melty and the meat tasted hot and fresh. They have a salsa bar and you can get your own chips. A complete bonus. I also ordered the large pineapple aqua frescas and it was huge and delicious. The spot is located tucked in a plaza but it's bright yellow making it easy to spot. It felt very homie and like your local spot where all the neighbors know the food will be right every time they order. I will definitely be back. read more

Food was so bland. Chips were hard, confusing set to find utensils, napkins etc. not sure why this place was raved about, it's a no bueno for me. So many other great places to get your Mexican food cravings satisfied. read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! You must give this place a try. I had doubts about this place because all the other places I've tried in the neighborhood was no good, but this place was amazing. Their burritos and tacos was so good. The meat was juicy and tender, never dry or burnt. It was just perfect! Service is good and staffs are great. I'm happy that I finally found the best Taqueria place. Try it, you might like it. read more
