    Tacos, rice and beans
    Kim C.

    The staff are always pleasant. The food is good, the prices are reasonable and the hot sauce is flavourful. I love their jamaica. There is outdoor seating available.

    Best place ever! This is my new go-to spot when it comes to buying food. They're not stingy with the meat, everything is very affordable, and I love this place. The owners are super nice too. Also, try the mango and orange agua fresca it's so good!

    Delicious tacos!

    Got recommended El Taco Man for my baby shower and they did not disappoint. They arrived on time and the food was delicious. Both rice and beans were seasoned well and my guests complimented how good the food was. I love how they left the leftovers after the event so my guests could pick at it after. We chose the asada/al pastor/chicken and they were all great. Highly recommend them for your event and they were also affordable.

    I have been coming here for years and haven't left a review on this place yet! Food - For my last visit I decided on Carne Asada Tacos and Carne Asada Mulitas. I typically do the tacos which the meat is very well seasoned and not dry, and the salsa they provide is amazing. It was my first time trying a mulita from here, and I'm not sure what it is, but this was the best mulita I had. Service - Service has always been amazing here. No matter who it is, I have always been greeted so kindly. Ambiance - the restaurant is more of a home where you order from the window for take out or dine in (which they do have a patio area with a few tables). It's more on the quiet end but it is next to streets so you may hear cars driving by.

    All breading,tiny sliver of fish,so very disappointing.

    For starters,'I DO NOT RECOMMEND. " THE WET BURRITO was all rice and tortilla, tiny portion of carne asada,and meat was minced small,you couldn't even taste it,a lot of nasty green sauce,I didn't care for the taste,it was off,and for $9.00+tax you would expect a fat portion of meat,but what you get is tons of rice,and not at all worth it. We ordered 2 fish tacos and 2 shrimp tacos $11...all thick breading and a tiny sliver of fish,((see photo))the shrimp tacos were no better,2 tiny shrimp per taco,in a greasy breading,I'm telling you now, 'JUST DON'T GO" a waste of your time and money. My burrito had a 3 inch hair inside,that's toe straw from the camel...I'm done.

    Asada, Fish, and Al Pastor Taco
    Alan K.

    Highly recommended by several of my associates, this hole in the wall boasts some delicious Mexican eats. I had ordered three tacos which were asada, al pastor, and fish. All three tacos were delicious, especially the fish taco. You can tell that they make their food to order. My friend tells me that they recently started to accept credit cards too! Parking is very limited in their lot, so it may just be easier to find parking on the street instead. Can't wait to come back again to try their remaining menu!

    New menu prices. I haven't been here in 5 years

    Looking for a Mexican restaurant that makes things with fresh ingredients? We'll look no further…read morebecause El Taquito is the place for you. It was my first time coming and was so amazed when I saw that my sopes were made with fresh masa. The fresh masa truly does change up the food taste. My sopes were delicious and size of them were so eye opening. They were huge! I had 1 for lunch and the second for my afternoon break. I also tried their homemade agua de horchata that was refreshing and delicious. Service was great and was attended quickly. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. Lastly, there salsas were so perfect with spice. I loved it!

I liked that they use refried beans inside, and the overall flavor was good. My only issue was the meat to rice and beans ratio. There was definitely a lot more rice than carne asada, and I would've liked a little more meat in there. Overall, the burrito was good and the portion was a decent size, but I think it would've been much better with more carne asada. I noticed their wet burrito seems pretty popular, so that's probably what I'll try next time.

    Lunch on Taco Tuesday in Temple City, Los Angeles, California…read more.. My friend, Rosemarie, highly recommended El Ruizeñor Grill because she had been there in the past for a Yelp event. She described the food, the prizes, and the fun - wow! Let's go! Parking on the street was easy. We arrived before the lunch crowd, so several tables were available. Afterwards, the place was packed in the colorfully decorated and festive atmosphere! Service was attentive, friendly, and helpful! The Taco Tuesday deal was great! We got pollo, papa, al pastor, and carnitas tacos for $1.56 each, and a carne asada taco for $2.56! Everything was tasty and beautiful! I also enjoyed a generous, refreshing horchata! Thanks, Rose for the fun foodie adventure! I appreciated the complementary crunchy chips and non-spicy salsa! Yum!

    Been wanting to try this Oaxacan Mexican restaurant for a long time so glad I finally got to check…read moreit out! I ordered UberEats and it arrived so fast - in half an hour or less! They have BOGO tacos for Taco Tuesday so I got the Asada Tacos ($2.88). The tacos had very generous portions of asada and topped with cilantro and onion bits. The asada was very tender and delicious! Really enjoyed the salsa provided on the side wasn't too spicy either! Got the "El Trio" ($21.84) and it consisted of a sampler of mole, red and green chilaquiles, with eggs, queso fresco, crema, onion, and cilantro. It came with two sides so I got beans and breakfast potatoes. The mole was so good! It was not too sweet, spicy, or salty but had a combo of all 3 flavors! Loved how it was rich and packed with flavor! Definitely one of the best mole I've had! The red and green chilaquiles were slightly spicy but still very yummy! Wished the chips weren't soggy and more crispy but not a big deal! The beans were good and the potatoes tasted a bit bland but that's ok! The Horchata Oaxaquena ($8.04) was so amazing! The Horchata tasted so fresh and delicious! There was bits of cantaloupe and walnuts, which made it very unique and made it even more tasty! Loved how refreshing and it wasn't too sweet. Definite must! Overall, I really enjoyed my food and would definitely recommend and return for a dine-in experience next time!
