El Taco Spot always hits the SPOT!!! Never disappoint on food and service. The food is always fresh, hot and delicious. One of my favorite are the El Pastor Street Tacos with Refried Beans along with the creamy green salsa. On the other hand, my hubby gets the Birria Tacos and he practically inhales them! The atmosphere is very nice and cozy. But the servers are always nice and accommodating. Make it a point to have lunch or dinner at El Taco Spot and you'll be glad you did! read more

It's been a while since I had the pleasure of eating at El Taco. I did have their signature taco and it was quite nice and different. read more

Really good local taco spot. Kind of expensive but flavors are there. Would recommend the birria tacos. Not the best I've had but still good flavor. The chips and salsa are a must get. Salsa is so flavorful and has such a good spice to it. read more

The food and service was great, me and my friends came and got burritos quesadillas tortas and tacos me and my friends are Mexican we loved the atmosphere there. Anyone who is hating on the food doesn't know authentic Mexican food probably just trump supports or white people hate to say but it's true they get the most basic food which of course is birria tacos or anything they see on social media for them, anyways tho this is a great restaurant with great service and great food. Gracias a todos que trabajan en este lugar y gracias a los dueños por un restaurante tan chingon!!! VIVA MÉXICO CABRONES!!! read more

My coworkers and I tried to order lunch here on their opening day last week and the employee flat out told us that they're not taking large orders and would not take ours. When they advertise $1 street tacos and various opening day deals, they should be prepared for an influx of people wanting to try, especially with how much they've hyped up their opening across social media. Grand opening had been pushed out a couple times, so we were hopeful to give this new spot a try. They just lost a group's business for good. Not a good way to start; they need to get their act together. read more

Food is good. Place gets kind of busy for lunch so service isn't very fast but it's tolerable. I have enjoyed most meals I've tried there.

Wow what a mess! From the moment we entered the restaurant there seemed to be hostility coming from the young waitress. No friendly greeting, no smile. We sat for a good long while even though the place was nearly empty (during lunch hour, which itself is telling). She finally came over to take our order and then disappeared over to a table in the corner with two young male employees. The employees were all looking at their phones and laughing, sipping drinks. In plain view of the diners. Not a good look. A while later she came by, "do you want some chips?" Not in a nice way. Not with a smile. Well...yeah...of course. Why not put them on the table when guests arrive, like maybe...uh...90 percent of Mexican restaurants do? We're a table of six and we're going to spend a hundred bucks, so...why not put out a basket of chips? Cheerfully. Our teenage kids previously had takeout al pastor tortas from el Taco Spot and were eager to order them again. They liked them very much. When they both got al pastor tacos instead of tortas, one of the kids said, "I'm sorry, but we ordered tortas, not tacos." "No you didn't," she said, slapping the tacos down and walking away. She went back to visiting and laughing with her co-workers. We were too shocked by her behavior to do what should have been done: send them back to get the order right. Never have we experienced a waitress or waiter do such a thing! And I knew they ordered tortas because I was next to them and clearly heard them - and they already said before we went there that they couldn't wait to have another torta! The waitress got it wrong and instead of apologizing and fixing her mistake she essentially called our teens liars and plunked their food down. Never did she check back up on us. Too busy visiting with the other staff. We had an appointment and needed to pay the check and leave so I stood up at the counter to pay. "Just hang on a minute," she said, taking her time. At this point the afternoon was already spoiled and even good food could not make up for a surly waitress. The food was good, that is true. The birria tacos needed to be seasoned better. The chips - when they finally arrived - were quite good and the al pastor tacos won praise as well. Conclusion: Food was decent but was ruined by a surly and hostile waitress. And the staff should not be goofing around inside the restaurant while people were waiting to be served and attended to. This is the best way to lose your business, which is what I predict for El Taco Spot unless they fix this problem...pronto. read more

Just don't bother. The hours are never what's posted. Just walked in for dine in. The place is practically empty. One 6 top. Two people waiting for carry on. I asked for dine in. I was informed by the host / waiter that they'll being closing at 6. Posted hours are never correct. So, I went to Taco Bell instead. I can't buy food from you if you aren't open for business. read more

I tried birria tacos for the first time here & I was not disappointed! For starters everything was very warm, almost hot, which seems like a given but eating food you know was just freshly cooked makes a big difference. I loved the tacos & the red hot sauce that came with them was excellent. My mom ordered the carne asada fries & they were SO good. I would call these a must try for my French fry lovers. Pretty large bowl loaded with cheese, plenty of meat, and all the toppings. I really appreciate that because it's a pet peeve for me when nachos/loaded fries end up with dry fries. There were no dry fries in this bowl! :) The prices were reasonable & food was great. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This is my new favorite spot in town! Even though they charge for chips and salsa it's worth it! I'd gladly pay double for their salsa! I had the birria tacos and they didn't disappoint. Highly highly recommend this place for your taco needs! read more

Food is fresh and delicious. Service is fast and friendly. Ambiance is a little odd but not uncomfortable; it feels like a really small nightclub that is moonlighting as a restaurant. read more

this was soooo good the birria tacos were bomb! The waitress was very nice and smiled a lot. I would recommend this place 100%!

I came and got carne fries. i had only 12 dollars. life sucks we know. but the fact i left a tip to even it at 11 then y'all charged 17 dollars. that's ba and illegal. thanks for the charges i'll call back at 2. read more

Food was ok. Service and ambiance are nothing to brag about. We waited forever to get our food which was served on a piece paper with no silverware even though my meal was very drippy and too big to eat with your hands. I had the Birria burrito and it was good but not good enough to make me want to go back. No one ever came by to check on us after dropping food off at our table. I won't be going back. read more

I could give this place zero stars I would place is trash. Food is horrible. Got the Birria cheesy tacos and holy moly worst tacos ever they need to learn how to cook or watch YouTube recipes on how to make these tacos. Better I'm all the way from Calabasas California. Looking for some good Beeria tacos in this place at 4.5 and horrible. read more

Excellent meal, I got the street tacos it was delicious. This was a carry out order while at work. Everything was in place in the box beautiful display when opened. The beans were excellent and the cup of sauce was tasty and just the right amount of kick. I will recommend and also eat there again. read more

Bestttt birria tacos in town! Small place with a peaceful quiet atmosphere. items on menu look good but only tried the birria and it was bomb....will have to come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Get the chips and salsa every time we visit. Birria quesadilla or tacos are the go to meals.

I live 3,000 miles from this place, but I come here for work occasionally. Whenever I do, the first place I eat is El Taco Spot. A young and lively vibe to this family restaurant, but the best selling point is the food. Hands down the best street tacos I have ever eaten. And every detail is quality. They make their Salsa Verde on site, and it is delicious. If you want amazing tacos, and you haven't given them a chance, you're only hurting yourself (grins). read more

El taco spot, its in the name. Ive never wrote a review before but this place is well deserving. absolutely bussing. Get the barbacoa street tacos everything on it. You will not be disappointed. read more

Just had the street tacos. This was a solid meal and the packaging was great. This will be a regular spot for me going forward. I'd post a picture but I forgot, and all that is left is an empty box. Two thumbs up. read more
