    Taquito and taco combo
    Aileen M.

    This was my 2nd time here. I ordered takeout again. This time the portions seemed smaller than the last time. Both times I ordered the same items. It still tasted good though. Prices are good. I will try other items next time.

    If you're craving some seriously tasty Mexican food, this spot is a winner. I had the shrimp tacos and carne asada tacos--both were loaded with flavor and cooked just right. The shrimp had a nice kick, and the carne asada was perfectly seasoned and juicy. As if that wasn't enough, I topped it off with some churros, and they totally hit the spot--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. The service was fast and friendly, and we didn't have to wait at all, which is always a bonus. There's tons of seating, so it's a great place whether you're rolling in solo or with a group. All around, a great experience. I'll definitely be back--and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for solid, satisfying Mexican food.

    I have eaten here many times. The food has been generally pretty good. Today, while enjoying some carne asada enchiladas, I bit down on something really hard. It turned out to be the head of a screw!

    This was the first time ordering from here and everything was so good! I ordered delivery and everything was packaged nicely, had a great presentation and very tasty. My substitution was accommodated and they also included the hot sauce I had asked for. Chicken quesadilla Potato taquito Chicken dorado taco My absolute favorite thing was the birria taco. I was expecting the typical larger corn tortilla pictured and it came street taco sized. However, there was so much meat for a street taco and it tasted so good! Will definitely order from here again.

    Our favorite Northwest Vegas Valley taco shop! We've only tried 3 but since finding El Norte we haven't had a reason to keep searching. Nice sized open dining area with a bar surrounding the center area (no smoking, no gaming). Staff has been friendly and prompt with their attention. We have always ordered to go or called ahead for pickup. Shrimp taco is my favorite. Plump huge fried shrimp and the aioli has the right amount of smoky kick paired with the jalapeños. Birria is tender and juicy and the street tacos are delicious. Taco El Gordo is still my fave but being close to home El Norte is my go to.

    I had high expectations for El Norte Taco Shop, but it turned out pretty average. I ordered the street taco combination, portion was very generous...the food wasn't bad, just nothing special, and the meat was noticeably salty. Overall, it's okay for a quick bite, but not something I'd go out of my way for again.

    This is chicken enchiladas

    Food was delicious and the staff was friendly. We went in right now around 8:15pm close to closing time and the service was quick. The place is very well kept and clean.

    California Burrito
    Devon M.

    This place is a mixed bag of emotions for me. Some stuff was executed well and others not so much. The food is hit or miss from our experience here. We started with chips and dips. The guac tasted very basic and no different than that of the guac in little cups from the store. The beans and salsa were very good though and the chips were crunchy and delicious. I ordered the California burrito, my girlfriend ordered 3 tacos, and my brother got a quesadilla. I think he had the best entree at the table. The California burrito was flavorful but it had so much grease leaking out of it from start to finish. But my girlfriend's tacos were literally just soaked in grease. I wish I had taken a picture of them. The tortillas were soggy from all the grease they sat in. I'm not sure who was in the back that day but that was clearly their F game. The service was alright. The woman taking our order didn't appear to care if she was there or not. But the food came out quick. The ambiance was very bland and empty. It felt like no care had been taken in designing the inside and it felt soulless. There's far better places to get tacos than this. I don't know what happened but I hope this wasn't them at their best because that makes me fear their worst.

    Chicken tacos and grilled chicken burrito were above average in flavor but the prices were too high for the amount of food.

    Is there any entree that is gluten free here? Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like flour taquitos that would cross contaminate gluten free corn tortilla chips? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.

I've had a run of regrettable Mexican food and even though this place wasn't horrible, it could have been a whole lot better. Again, another spot that charges for chips and salsa. As I always say, if you charge, the chips and salsa better be stellar. Before we get to that let me tell you about the service. I asked the server which lunch entrée she would recommend between the carnitas tacos and the chicken taquitos. She recommend the taquitos. Service was kinda cold and we really didn't feel completely welcome. We placed our order and the server said she would be right back with water, chips and salsa. A few minutes later she came back with water, but no chips. A few minutes after that, she returned with our meals, along with chips and salsa. Kinda tacky, the whole point of an appetizer is to have it before your meal. That said, without a doubt the best chips I've ever had. Light, crispy and a really hearty stone ground flavor, seriously, without a doubt the best chips. It was served with two salsas. The red was smoky with a little kick, but it needed salt. The green was tangy and by tangy I mean tart. It also needed salt, but in the end, it was just sour. Well, the taquitos were dry, unseasoned and not appetizing. There was basically 3 pieces cut in half to make 6 small taquitos. I ate 3, but should have stopped after the very first bite. I really regretted ordering them and was further disappointed by her terrible recommendation. The rice and beans also had no flavor, and in the end, I have had fast food Mexican that taste way better than this. I know the server knew I wasn't pleased when my plate was barely touched and I was further frustrated by a service fee added to my check, without explanation. Maybe this is a trend, Mexican restaurants adding penalties and fees to the check without warning. Not a good way to run a business.

Some things to consider: 1. The place has a cafeteria feel. I prefer a restaurant style, sit down, and have a waitress come to serve me. 2. No chips and salsa. 3. It was crowded when we went. It was probably about midnight on a Monday or Tuesday. I can only imagine how hectic it is on a weekend.
