First off, management changed so whole new menu. Food was good service was good. Owners really cared about how customers felt about their food. For more images on their food go to their instagram to ELTACOSALERO1 I have attached images and this was my review of the food. Shrimp taco was super good. Shrimp burrito had rice shrimp and was very cheesy. Not sure what sauce they use with the shrimp but it was ok. My husband ordered the shrimp cocktail and said it had a lot of flavor and was good. read more

We (party of 4) dropped by on a Friday with high hopes for this spot as it was our first visit. Expectations were not met! We were the only customers in the restaurant at this time but our server was not very attentive & hung out in the kitchen the whole time; occasionally peaking her head out every so often. We placed our order from a menu that doesn't have ANY PRICES and then waited forever... Come to find out the head chef took off to the grocery store to get the ingredients for our meals! Once plates started to come out.. they didn't make one of the seafood plates we ordered and basically said we didn't order it and didn't offer to make it. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. read more

We came in after a long day at Sequioa National Park, we didn't know what to expect when we came in but our Airbnb recommended them. We came in and we immediately felt the care that the new owners have for the food and keeping people happy. Please try to ignore the bad old reviews. We ordered tacos de asada and al pastor and they were delicious, make sure you ask for the salsa verde it is amazing! I'm Mexican and these are true Mexican tacos. read more

Pretty good food, but it took them half an hour before our order of three small tacos were ready... there are better, cheaper places around town read more

If you want AUTHENTIC Mexican food this is your spot! Food does take a little longer but that isn't a problem when you're getting delicious food. They also serve warm tortilla chips and salsa. It definitely helps when waiting for the food. Their Diet Coke is also the best!!The staff is friendly and super attentive. The birria here is the best I have had from any other restaurant! read more

I read the reviews before I decided to give this restaurant a try. I'm glad I came because the food is great. My hub and I ordered extra crispy tripa, al pastor, buche tacos. Tripa tacos were crispy and dry when they came out. Tortillas were home made yellow corn. My favorite is the al pastor. The meat is tender and moist . Lots of flavors especially with the choices of salsa they put on. Buche was also tender. We also tried the birria vampiro, that was delicious! Customer service was not horrible. It was fast and straight forward. read more

We have been trying to find a really good Mexican Restaurant in Visalia. I read the reviews everyone raving about the tacos. So we decided to try it out. I got the Chicken mold the flavor was good but the rice was undercooked and the chicken was still pink for my liking. My sons hamburger was good. My husband got the shrimp molcajete it did have lots of shrimp but the bottom of the molcajete was just pico de gallo. If I go again I will just stick to the tacos. read more

Stoped and brought 3 tacos @ 2.95 each carne asada. When my daughter brought them to the car I could not believe my eyes. I could hold those 3 tacos in my small hand the only thing on the tacos was little meat and some cilantro. So if you gonna open a business watch what you are serving. I will not go back Neither should others read more

This place is great! They are always super friendly, and the meals are sent out quickly. Give this spot a chance and disregard any negative reviews they may have. My boyfriend and I came up on this place and now anytime we crave Mexican food, this is our spot. read more

We waited for an hour for our food. We weren't the only one that was there to order. There was another family there who order after us. They received their food before we did. There was also another group that came in and ate and left and our food still wasn't ready yet. There was no apology after the long wait. When we got home. It was no longer tacos. It was soft tacos where the tortilla just fell apart and it ruined the experience. The flavor of the food was good don't get me wrong. It was just a horrible experience that we didn't get that same service like the people who came in afterwards. read more

Waited a hour for our food I ordered cheese enchiladas i was given chicken... ok fine but don't serve it to customers with everything practically cold. As we're eating there was cockroaches over the floor crawling and couple on the wall! Way to overly priced!! DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Super good! I got the vampiro de birria which was delicious! The meat was perfectly seasoned, usually when I eat Birria it's sometimes too salty. This one was perfect ! The birria was also nice and juicy. I also got the ostiones preparados which was perfect for a extremely hot day! I like how they plate them with ice on the bottom so they stay nice and cold. They were amazing! Loaded with all the goods. I definitely recommend this place whether you are wanting some seafood, or just some good Mexican food! Not disappointed at all. read more

Went in for our first visit, lured by the specials advertised on the front window. Ordered a 5 taco plate for the 2 of us (carne asada, al pastor & carnitas--which were especially tasty) and a bucket of cervezas. The [new] owner was the only one working the tables, but I felt like we had friendly and efficient service. I'll go back for sure... read more

I ordered tacos one de birria , pastor and carnitas. The birria was so tender carnitas was cooked to perfection and pastor I wasn't a huge fan but they were well worth the wait it took them a while and to be honest I'll wait again the tortillas are handmade yellow corn tortillas probably the first place I've been to with yellow handmade tortillas ! Will be back when I'm in Visalia read more

We had the molcajete and it was amazing. Very flavorful and a very large portion. Comes with tortillas, beans and rice. We had a michelada too. Probably the best one I've ever had. Service was good. The place is clean and spacious. Will definitely recommend. read more

Popped in for a quick Sunday lunch. I was pleasantly surprised, the food and service were both good. I ordered the green enchiladas which were bomb, my only comment is that they were pretty spicy, it was a plus for me but if you're not used to spicy dishes you might find them hard to eat. My son's carne asada tacos were really good as well, the tortillas were hand made which made them great. My husbands shrimp dish was LOADED with shrimp! Usually we have to dig through vegetables to find the few shrimp but not here which was awesome! Definitely will be going back! read more

El Taco Salcero Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Visalia, California

this is probably the most unfriendly restaurant I have ever been in. Being an anglo I love good mexican food. Walked in no one showed us a table, menu's. We were expected to know how this works. A spanish speaking waitress asked us about drinks, ordered cokes, came out in cans, no ice cups , etc. The music (a DJ with a huge system in the corner) was so loud we had to yell at each other. No menus, other customers staring at us. We got up from our plastic chairs and paid for the drinks and left. Never to return. And as we walked outside, our "waitress" ran after us to be sure we had paid for the sodas. We had paid someone inside since we couldn't get the attention of our server! read more

Waited over 30 mins for 12 tacos for take out. The staff was very inattentive. The waitress/ hostess had her friends come and and was talking with them rather than checking on clients or the food. The music was very loud there was a clown walking around for some reason and one of the cooks kept going on and out of the kitchen. At one point he walked into the kitchen with a beer bottle. Once I received my order and got home(about a 7 min drive) I opened them up to see that they were covered in guacamole. It looked like a child had thrown a bunch of food and smashed it all together. I attempted to take a bite and couldn't the tortilla fell apart. Definitely do not recommend. Their is a lot of better places to get tacos that aren't over priced. read more

Nooooo! I ruined taco Tuesday by coming here... hands down worst tacos in tulare county. Well at least I tried it and know. Now you know lol. Super over priced. Will never be back. On a good note the people were nice. read more

Everytime I come, I order the asada tacos, pastor tacos, micheladas, my bf orders the tripas. He is picky with how the tripas are cooked, but he is happy with the tripas here. I like the tacos here because the meats are grilled not boiled like most taco trucks, the tortillas are nice and warm and flexible, not hard, stale and they don't rip apart when I pick up my tacos. I just order my sauce on the sides because they do drown your tacos in sauce. I like the micheladas because they make mine just right and I love pieces of shrimp and cucumber they put on the rim. read more

Best tacos I've had in visalia so far... wet burrito is amazing.. down side is I think everything is a little over priced

Being new to Visalia my husband and I are always looking for new places to try. We are still on the hunt for the best tacos in town but this place is a top contender for us. The asada tacos were my favorite. We also tried their chicken, alpastor, lengua which were good as well. They have a condiments bar where you can get extra salsa, onions and other goodies load your tacos up. The atmosphere is really low key, family friendly and their micheladas are just okay. We will definitely be back the next time we get a taco craving. read more

Excellent service and food, live music was great and tortillas here are HOMEMADE PEOPLE get here and eat! Family friendly and very affordable! read more

Never had I experienced any Mexican restaurant that catered to their customers as well as they did with both food and service. I'm blown away. Fresh food ingredients, plentiful servings, and you can get your own chips! My favorite part was that they have pickled carrots in both spicy and non spicy variety. I've been to many different Mexican restaurants all over Visalia and all over California. This one is the one to choose above all the rest! Believe it! read more

This was the worst experience ever. The food was overpriced for what it is, service was even worse. Waited over 30 minutes for a cold plate of rice super hot beans and a cold Asada Taco. My husband got 3 shrimp tacos with 2 shrimp each and a mediocre carnitas taco. There were 5 tables in the restaurant and our food took so long we almost left... we should have. I have never written a yelp review before but I had to. Don't waste your time or money. read more

It's wackala. I wasted 60 bucks. The people that work there are nice and that's about it. Stay away

Decided to check this place out with a buddy the other day for lunch, and we loved it. The food is super authentic and made to order. I had an asada burrito and taco, both were a good portion and super good. Their salsas are great, good heat to them but not too much. My buddy got the ceviche and sopes which he said were both fantastic, the best ceviche he's ever had even. The menu is small, and completely in Spanish (which I'm limited in my knowledge of) but the waitresses were awesome. Really clean restaurant as well, bathrooms were immaculate. This restaurant replaced a different Mexican food place in the same building, and it's a major improvement from the old restaurant. Definitely recommending it to anyone looking for good Mexican food. read more

Okeee food.... bad customer service and staff. Waitress (Laura) did not check in with us to see if anything was needed or a refill on our drinks. It took about 27 mins before our food was brought to the table. Please keep in mind it was not a busy day 3 other tables. Would I recommend ? No read more

The service was pretty bad before the pandemic. It took about an hour and a half to get our food. They ran out of the drinks we ordered and told us after we had already purchased them. I definitely won't be going back. read more

Finally had their tacos today! Three Birria tacos and a side of consome to go to be exact. I ordered the exact same thing for my dad and two Asada tacos for my mom , they both loved it and will be regular dine in customers from now on. read more

My wife and waited nearly an hour and a half in and empty restaurant. We were ignored by our server when we tried to make any requests. Once we received our food it looked liked it was just thrown on the plate. Everything was cold. read more

Bomb food hits the spot every time I come. Highly recommend the tacos . Also nice cold beer, fast and friendly service.
