    I've been a fan of El Tacontento since their street vendor location on N. Rancho so it was cool to find their second location towards the back of the store of a gas station. Clean area, pleasant service, and price point is just right, considering the generous portions, handmade tortillas, and made-from-scratch(not powder mix) agua frescas. Seems like they have more items available at this location, so there's definitely something for everyone. We shared a Gringa de Al Pastor and a Huarache de Asada which were both delicious, and the Agua de Jamaica was a perfect compliment to our meal. Stop in if you're ever in the area...casual setting, great grab and go option, and won't leave you with buyer's remorse. ALOHA!!! Shaka Meter: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 5

    Today was in the mood for tacos. But who isn't in the mood for tacos. Ive seen this restaurant a few times and knew it was time to try it. It is located in a petrol station but don't let that fool you. I ordered carne asada, pastor, birria, frijoles, and arroz, horchata, and pepino. The food did not disappoint at all. The birria and pastor had such a wonderful flavor. My fav drink pepino was amazing. There are a couple of tables and chairs, plus a television. One thing I really liked was the condiment bar was enclosed. It wasn't exposed how most are. This has an open and close lid that keeps everything very cold. Location is Jones/ Vegas- ample parking

    Huarache with carne asada

    The quesabirria tacos were awesome, crispy and stuffed full of cheese and birria. The huarache with carne asada was also really good. It's in a gas station but it's very clean and I had no problem getting a table for a Wednesday lunch. Food came out quickly and was piping hot.

    Three quesabirria tacos (birria + cheese) and a side of consomé was included. Soooooo good!!

    Literal hole in the wall (in a gas station) and the food was SO MUCH better than other specialty birria places. DEFINITELY coming back. Their tacos and salsa had so much flavor and were really filling. Oh and they don't use cloves (clavos de olor) in their birria - which to me is great because other places use a ton of cloves and it ruins the birria for me. Soooooo worth it! And the staff was helpful and really nice.

    I was SUPER skeptical coming to this spot since I found out it was in a gas station but to be completely honest, it was cleaner than a Roberto's on a good night. It was amazingly good! I got a cheese quesadilla with a side of rice & beans and I was surprised by how fresh the rice was. It wasn't bland, hard, or even too mushy; It was perfect. My boyfriend got carne asada tacos and they were delicious as well. The tortillas are hand made and you can taste the freshness! They have a little refrigerated stand that contains red & green salsa, limes, cucumbers, guacamole, and radishes. You can feel the coldness radiating off of the cooler so you have no doubt the product is fresh and within safety guidelines. One thing I also really liked was the fact that they offer different types of Agua Frescas, unlike Roberto's. I tried the watermelon and the cucumber one and I liked the cucumber one better. Im giving this spot 5 stars because they had A lot of room for failure; location, cleanliness, customer service, quality of food, and price range. Each one was completely fulfilled and surpassed! I would DEFINITELY recommend this place over any other taco shop. Please try it out and don't judge a book by its cover! It was amazing!!

    Food is authentic Sonoran Mexican food with a variety I have never seen before. The only thing you…read morewon't see is pollo (chicken), but if its meat from a cow or pig, it's probably available. A word of warning, despite offering street tacos, this isn't really "fast" food, I stood in line for nearly an hour at lunchtime on a Friday. Layout and ordering can be confusing but start by finding a tray, if they are busy, there nay not be any at the counter. As you enter, scan the menu. If you are alone, Get in the line that matches most of what you w nt. Better still if you are not alone is the divide and conquer system, each person getting in line for a meat you want. If alone, you can order mire than one, you just order that lines meat, say lengua tacos, then let them know you also want however many of whatever meat/what, say 3 adobado tacos. You do NOT pay at the counter instead weaving your way back toward the register where you pay.

    I think its a great place for a late night meal after the club IF you are in the area. The parking…read morebehind is super small and cramped. Its usually still busy late into the night because of all the night owls. My husband and I only come to eat after the clubs or a night out because its a vibe. Yes lines can be long, but never too long where we ever walk out. We always get Tripa and Lengua tacos with everything on them. I don't have much experience in other taco places to compare, but I only go to places that offer more than asada. Is the place amazing good? Not sure to say but I will say if you like soft and tender lengua and crispy, semi fatty tripa then I like it best here so far. Is it overhyped? Maybe, but I think they're good.

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with an atmosphere that's full of nostalgia and heart,…read moreLa Vecindad Mexican Restaurant is an absolute must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we felt like we had stepped into the world of the beloved classic Mexican television show El Chavo del 8. The décor perfectly captures the charm and warmth of "la vecindad," making it a fun experience for both adults who grew up watching the show and younger generations experiencing it for the first time. The food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared with authentic Mexican flavors that truly stood out. The drinks were just as impressive--refreshing, expertly made, and the perfect complement to our meal. What really made our visit special was the incredible service. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel like family from start to finish. The restaurant also has a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere where everyone can relax, laugh, and enjoy a great meal together. La Vecindad isn't just a place to eat--it's an experience filled with delicious food, amazing drinks, exceptional service, and a nostalgic tribute to El Chavo del 8 that brings smiles to every table. We can't wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican cuisine and a memorable dining experience. Five stars all the way!
