This was incredible, especially for the price. We got a $4 taco each and it was a legit meal. They definitely do not skimp on the meat and everything was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. read more

The food was ok ordered the nachos with carnitas there were two of us my friend and I , the waitress DID not come by and ask if we needed another plate, we did, did not come and ask if we wanted more jalapeños, we did ,customers that came in after us got their food before us, the sad part is we are Healdsburg Locals ( born and raised) and we do support our local community but they should also be courteous and know who comes in in what order , we do know that waitresses also rely on tips, and we are generous tippers but this time I did not have it in me to tip horrible service BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE NEEDS ASSISTANCE!!!!!! read more

More from a foody lemosine driver. If I ever was stranded in Mexico, and had nothing but Mexican food for months I would love it! Always searching exploring new places to eat while my clients are at dinner or wine tasting, tonight they are at Single Tread In Healdsburg, 4 hours of foraging around. This place was in an older shopping center in downtown Healdsburg (hole in the wall' only a little English spoken here, I liked the booths and older Mexican decor and artwork, plus the Mexican music, feeling like I'm in Mexico except the fish tacos were talipia or maybe catfish' they just had that fresh water pond flavor. I am spoiled I visit Mexico each year (Baja sir) fresh fresh seafood tocos there! But the shrimp toco was great lots of shrimp! The service was very friendly and I love the real Mexican atmosphere. I will check out some of the other Taqueria's In Healdsburg before I come back to this one just to compare. read more

This is where the locals eat! Great service and food! I only had the grilled chicken soft tacos (two days in a row); however, on both visits I saw men enjoying the Caldo 7 Mares (7 variety seafood soup). It looked amazing, the portion was generous, and they all took some home! Check this place out! read more

Taco Grande is a Door Dash restaurant. As the weather is SO hot, we decided to order some nice taco salads for supper. I ordered 2 al pastor salads at 6:20. Salads are $13 each and I tipped the DD driver $6, more than 20%. At around 6:40, the driver dropped off "our order" of 2 tacos... no salads. Oops! We called. Oh! Mistake in the kitchen... we are very busy... I'm recovering from surgery, my caregiver is reticent about leaving me alone, and she shouldn't be out in the heat. Finally, she has gone to the restaurant to inquire about the food. By this time, no one else is even open. When I last ate here, one of my lunch partners found a cucaracha in her food. This was many years ago, and that's how long it's been since I have eaten here again. Tonight a friend recommended I give it another try. Big mistake. read more

Delicious and affordable tacos in Healdsburg! The "super taco" was a ridiculous amount of food snd more like an open faced quesadilla. I hate the carne asasa, Pollo azado and chorizo tacos. The carne asada was the winner but there were no losers! read more

El Taco Grande - Burrito Loco - Mexican Near Me - Healdsburg, California

Love the food and they have wonderful polite service. My favorite is their vegetarian burrito.

This place used to be good.. But Don't bother now. The prices don't match the food quality at all. Tons of better options for Mexican food in Sonoma county. Yesterday, They messed up my Togo or gave me someone else's, either way when I got home to eat and called to let them know, they were extremely rude about it on the phone. No refund, no exchange or store credit or anything. The burrito they gave us were horrible all rice and beans and sour cream with a sprinkle of some sort of super chewy beef or meat. Horrible! Won't be returning. read more

On our way to an anniversary weekend up in Mendocino, Jamie W. and I stopped in the charming hamlet of Healdsburg to get a bite since the drive has a relatively barren stretch of dining options until you get to the coast. Instead of waiting in line at one of the popular places on the plaza, we found ourselves strolling over to that same strip mall where Flakey Cream Do-nuts is, but we ended up here for a budget-priced Mexican breakfast. We were hoping to find a nugget here, but it wasn't really all that special despite the reasonable prices. Jamie ordered the $8.99 Vegetarian Plate, which probably represented the best value on the menu. It was a robust platter consisting of whole beans, rice, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole, steamed vegetables, and tortillas (photo: http://bit.ly/1VXeApz). Good square meal if lacking in some seasoning. I ordered a $4.50 Fish Taco, which was the best part of my meal since they had a good-size pair of fillets nestled on the tortilla with cilantro, lettuce, onions and salsa (photo: http://bit.ly/1VelBSc). The absolute disappointment, however, was the $10.99 bowl of the weekend-only Menudo. The broth was thin and almost soapy in flavor for some reason, while the tripe was chopped into smithereens and the bones were non-existent (photo: http://bit.ly/1MYwxg4). Desultory menudo was no way for me to start an idyllic weekend, but I tried to make up for it with some Cliff bars in the car since I didn't want to make too many unnecessary restroom stops. TMI? Sorry. Anyhow, I'm afraid there wasn't much that was memorable about our stop at El Taco Grande, but maybe if I stuck with something more predictably fool-proof like a Burrito Loco, I would have been fine. FOOD - 3 stars...middling Mexican with a mediocre menudo AMBIANCE - 2.5 stars...lots of formica, not much character SERVICE - 3 stars...serviceable, nothing more TOTAL - 3 stars...plenty of other places to try in Healdsburg read more

Taco Grande just hand my husband a big glass of water with CLOROX! They did not admit they made a mistake and did not drink the water to confirm it was Clorox on it! He barely can be relieved from the sensation in the throat and he's having a hard time. They're not good at service. This experience is traumatic. So sad. read more

If you would like to pay $13 for a kids beans and cheese burrito with avocado you should go here. If not, there are so many other good restaurants in healdsburg.

This place is a joke I paid almost 30 dollars for a burrito.. across the street I get the same thing for 15 dollars including the drink

Consistently good food. Have not had a bad meal here in the 30 +/- years I have eaten here.

Came here on a recommendation of a coworker. One of my favorite dishes is chicken mole. I ordered chicken mole and let's just say I was not disappointed. It was the best chicken mole I've had! Lots of flavor and you could taste the different chiles in it. I will be back for it soon. My husband ordered the chili verde and it also was very flavorful and prepared well. Very authentic Mexican food. read more

El Taco Grande is one of Healdsburg's older Mexican restaurants that is situated in that crowded little shopping center next to the theater. I saw it yesterday while about my downtown promenade with Sofie. Today I had lunch there. The theater is where you go see pretend movies. El Taco Grande is a stage of reality. This was my first visit to "The Big Taco". I had a chili relleno, beef enchilada, rice and beans. On a whim, I asked for a horchata, though I did not see it on the menu. "Of course Señor!" I like it when someone shows me respect. The ambiance of this busy establishment is "Mom and Pop" - two very large flat screens at each end of the dining area showing the World Cup. Today it was England vs Tunisia. Score: 1-1. This is the place a working stiff would be. Jeans, dusty boots and a ball cap would be right at home. Bottled beer in the cooler and sit anywhere you want. Stretch out your legs, cross your feet and rest your tired dogs. The horchata was sweet and cinnamony. This was the good Mexican cinnamon that you aren't going to buy at Safeway. I was glad I asked for the horchata. Poured over ice, it was refreshing. It took some time for the food to arrive. The chili relleno was remarkably large! I do not know if I've ever seen one so large! That wasn't a problem though because it was heavenly! The chili, the subtle soft flavor of the melted cheese and the tasty sauce they prepared for both enchilada and chili relleno were quite good. I wasn't impressed with the enchilada because the meat inside was nothing special. The sauce was good though - as well as the beans. This was a work'n man's lunch. You don't worry about the spiced meat when you are a work'n man. You just wolf it down and run back to your truck so you can get back to work'n. I wasn't working though. Haven't worked in years. It's okay. Sometimes it's fun to drive down to "The Big Taco", have lunch and pretend like you're a work'n man. As if a beautifully staged drama, England scored the winning goal in the last 4 minutes of the game with a corner kick and a clever head butt of the ball into the goal netting. The English team dog piled the guy who scored the goal. "That would probably break some ribs and I'd be hobbling around for a month if they did that to me.", I thought. I had finished my meal. It was good. The man at the register was happy. "Which team do you like?" I don't watch sports. I smiled, looked at the celebration on the big screen and said, "England!" He laughed and rang me up. I could see he is a huge soccer fan. He told me Mexico is still in it. Beat Germany 1-0. I was happy for him. Who wants the Germans to win? Not me. El Taco Grande will serve you a work'n man's lunch. When you leave, you will have experienced what it's like to be a player in the day to day drama of "Life". You may be there for a bit part like me, or you may want to join the troupe to become part of something special. read more

Stopped in over the weekend to try out a new place. We were on our way back from a day trip.All I can say is WOW! I've been looking for a little while in the wall, very real and authentic. Staff is very friendly. I got the chili verde, it was very flavorful, the pork was trimmed, so not a lot of fat on it. My wife got a couple of street tacos, that look good. Salsa was good. If your looking for a place to eat, and want flavor, swing by El Taco Grande!!!! read more

Normally I go to El Sombrero up the street but they were closed today so I came here. I asked for a regular burrito, no beans, add cheese. I also asked if they can do half carnitas/half chicken inside the burrito. She said sure but charged me $2.00 extra for that request (which is no charge elsewhere). Okay fine, whatever. It brought my total to $9.57. I left and went home to eat. There I not only discovered they had only given me chicken (no carnitas) despite charging me and there wasn't even any salsa/pico de gallo inside which it is supposed to come with. Heed the warning....Try elsewhere. read more

Food is good! They should open a restaurant in windsor! Friendly waitresses and prices are good!

This place was absolutely amazing. My visit started with prompt service. The second I walked in the door they said to sit wherever I like. I was brought water immediately. They took my order within a couple minutes. I ordered soft tacos with shredded chicken and a side of guacamole. At $2.99 each soft taco, it was a great deal. The presentation of the tacos was very pleasing. They added vibrant radishes, an orange slice all spread out pretty and a sprinkle of cilantro. The tortillas were homemade, so soft and flavorful, the best I've ever had. The shredded chicken had a ton of flavor and the salsa on the tacos as well. I enjoyed the fact that the salsa wasn't overwhelmingly spicy. The guacamole was definitely fresh with chunks of tomato, onion and cilantro in it. That too was super tasty. This will be my new go-to lunch spot! read more

So... I've been avoiding the T.G. for quite some time... i mean with El Som's right down the street... why bother. But, i had to hit it up, i had to give it a shot. In the name of Mexican variety, i had to try El Taco Grande. I wish i hadn't The two stars i give to T.G. are purely for food quantity. I ordered the "Burrito Loco" because i was feeling pretty Loco at the time, and good lord! that's a lot of grub. Although the burrito totally suuuuuucked, I feel like i got my 8 bucks worth of rice, beans, tortilla, meat and sauce. Damn, I could have cut the thing in 1/4s and sold it for a profit. But... quantity does me no good when quality is poor. Basically the burrito lacked in flavor. overall very boring to eat. chips sucked too, and the salsa had no overwhelmingly redeeming qualities. So, to wrap this up. the only reason to go to El Taco Grande is if you are planning a cross-continental hiking trip and want to pack one item of food that will last you the entire trip... or... if you want to single-handedly feed all of Africa, plus half of Asia- with one burrito. If that happens to be the case- then go LOCO! read more

love the single lengua taco....that, along with a diet coke, I was out of there for under $7....perfect if you're trying to be not-so-grande! Oh, btw, the lengua was perfect, and the taco was doubled, and soft, w/ a little pico de gallo on the side.....to go! Fantastic read more

I had tried an Al Pastor burrito at every Mexican joint in Healdsburg, or so I thought. I don't know why I never noticed this place. One day, my dad had a coupon and wanted to try it, so we did.

Granted the chips are kinda stale, but the orange, green and pick de gayo salsas they make a read more

There is good and bad info. So I went here and I gotta say that their shrimp cocktail was the biggest I've seen and had in a very long time, there were at least 50 shrimp in there. Their service was very nice and atmosphere was helpful and clean. The bad was that within the shrimp cocktail, all the shrimp were rubbery and overlooked. Plus they did not devein their shrimp, it was absolutely disgusting. I had to devein them and clean some myself which I gave up after a while. I don't know about you but I for one do not like eating the the intestinal poop track of a shrimp :( Please don't over cook your shrimp cocktail and please devein your shrimp, I guarantee I will order it again if you do so :) read more

Just passing through. The Chile verde was amazing! Great service! Also, they have homemade iced tea. A real treat!
