    El Taco Express
    Chris L.

    You have to be pretty bold to park your taco truck just down the street from the iconic and outstanding Taqueria Sanchez. I've driven past several times, but decided today that it was time to stop by. I'm so glad I did. El Taco Express offers the standard taqueria truck fare: street tacos, burritos, tortas, etc. Most tacos are $0.99, with lengua and tripa tacking on another $0.50. They have some soft drinks, water and several varieties of Jarritos. I didn't see any mention of horchata or aqua frescos. Per my typical first visit, I ordered carnitas, barbacoa and lengua tacos. All of the meats were tender and juicy. The carnitas had a good flavor, as did the barbacoa. I added a little green sauce to the pork, and red sauce to the beef tacos. Both were better than most, and within reach of the best. And while I'm thinking of it, the pickled carrot was nicely flavored. I don't know what you do to make one pickled carrot better than others, but they need to keep doing what they're doing. What really stood out was the lengua. It was perfect, and as much as I love the lengua at Taqueria Sanchez and Taqueria El Dolar, this edges them both. The texture and taste is amazing, and is well worth the extra change. So please give this place a try. I can't imagine you would leave disappointed.

    The location is nice and has shelter.

    Best tacos, around here, the guy on the truck was very nice and friendly and patient while we were thinking on what to order.

    Great food, fast, friendly. Better than the blue truck, their asada is fatty now. I wish the mulitas had cheese and avacado.

    The ultimate set up…read more Frozen mango margarita. BOMB. My bartender Valeria is the absolute best. WATER. Bc you're gonna need it. Why? Because the sauces are spicy GOOD! Sauce bottles left to right... Mayo. Yes. Mayo. Don't knock it until you try it. Creamy Green sauce. Spicy af but amazing. Red salsa. Spicy too with an addictive kick. Original salsa in the cup that came with my chips and salsa. Hot too but not crazy. BUTTER. Yes. Mix butter with any salsa and a chip and you're in heaven. You're welcome. Customer service, food and vibes are on point. Will be back a lot. 10/10.

    The staff at El Sabor were genuinely friendly, and the presentation of my Torre Mulegé was…read morestunning. It arrived as this dramatic, beautifully constructed tower of mixed seafood topped with avocado and a whole shrimp--definitely a dish that makes an entrance. The seafood seemed fresh, but I discovered that this particular style of mixed mariscos just isn't for me. Some of the seafood had a gray, translucent appearance and texture that I personally didn't enjoy. That may simply be characteristic of the preparation rather than any problem with the dish. I only tried this one item, so I don't think it would be fair to judge the kitchen more broadly based on my personal preference. What I can comment on much more definitively is the noise. It was extraordinarily loud. I eventually pulled out my phone and measured the sound level because I genuinely wanted to know whether it was as loud as it felt. I recorded levels exceeding 100 dB, with peaks around 103 dB. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. Unfortunately, I could barely hear them. I enjoy energetic restaurants and certainly don't expect dinner to take place in a library. But there's a point where "lively atmosphere" becomes something prospective customers deserve to know about before deciding where to spend an evening. This crossed that line for me. If a very high-energy, extremely loud environment is your thing, you may have a completely different experience. If you're hoping to have a conversation over dinner without shouting across the table, I'd choose accordingly. Friendly staff, impressively presented food, and a seafood dish that simply wasn't my jam. But the volume overwhelmed everything else about the experience--and at 103 dB, that's not background music. That's the main course.

There were plenty of tables and places to sit. The hostess got us to a table and we sat and ordered our food and talked and caught up. There was this guy I can only assume he must've been a manager, he kept hovering over our table, making sure our drinks were filled even after we had got through eating and just kept hovering like he was waiting for us to leave. I looked around the restaurant and there were plenty of tables that were empty. So I don't understand why he was hovering over us and trying to rush us out of the restaurant. It was probably the worst experience I've ever had at this restaurant. I don't know if he was just racist or if he was just being an asshole, but either way if someone comes in to pay for a meal and is sitting down and talking in the restaurant isn't busy. I don't see why there's a reason for you to turn around and try and force people out. To say the whole experience turned me off and I will probably not go back to this restaurant for a while.
