    The restaurant

    I have lived in San Bernardino for over 10 years and I have never tried this place out so I wanted to give it a shot and surprisingly these are some of the best tacos I have had all year! I had showed my check in for my free drink and they honored it and were overly friendly about it too.. i love the man who got my drink and helped me out, Really great service, will be coming back soon!

    The salsa bar.

    This place was a surprisingly good. I really enjoyed the food. I had the carnitas plate an it was delicious. The meat was not dry or undercooked. Although the beans are from a can they tasted good. They have a salsa bar with a good selection of salsas and fresh limes. The price was good for the amount of food you get and the place was clean. The only bad thing it's the location, it's in a getto looking strip mall in San Bernardino. But if your brave, lock your doors, watch your back, you will be surprise at the quality of the food. I will definitely come back to try other items. The staff was really friendly and the food was quick to come out.

    El Taquero. Very underatted place. Highly recommended! !!

    Came here thinking the worst based on it's location. Walked out saying it's the best on the Northeast end of San Berdoo. Clean diner. Salsa bar has plenty of variety. Avocado salsa is super tasty. Taco Tuesday was great! Had asada, pollo and abodaba tacos. Generous portions. Chips and salsa served if you dine in. All meats were flavorful. Rice cooked and flavored well too. 2 for 1 on beers from 3 to 5 Monday thru Friday! Coming back asap!!!

    This restaurants has bomb shrimp cocktails and menudo.menudo is only On the weekends.so get it before it is gone

    I got the cóctel de camarones and my friend got the camarones a la diabla. They had the right kick of heat and had big portions.

It was a World Cup game day, and she seemed to be responsible for an entire side of the restaurant by herself. The service delays felt more like a management and staffing issue than a reflection of her effort. We were seated at 6:04 PM, and our drink order wasn't taken until 6:32 PM. While I understand restaurants get busy, it seemed like management should have anticipated the increased demand and staffed accordingly. Unfortunately, there were several issues throughout our meal. The chips brought to the table tasted a bit rancid, and the napkins wrapped around our silverware appeared to have some kind of dried residue on them that looked like tamarind paste. I ordered the birria plate, and roughly 40% of the meat was fat, making much of the portion inedible. I also waited over 15 minutes for limes and never received the cilantro I requested. My husband ordered the carnitas plate and was surprised by the appearance of the meat--it was very pale and almost looked like chicken. He said it lacked flavor and was disappointing overall. My parents ordered the molcajete, which arrived without the shrimp that was supposed to be included. At that point, we knew it would likely take another 10-20 minutes to flag someone down, so they decided to just enjoy what was served. They actually said the flavor was quite good despite the missing ingredient. Overall, the experience was highly disappointing, especially considering the long waits and food quality issues. I don't blame our waitress, who was clearly stretched far too thin. My frustration is directed more toward management for not properly preparing and staffing the restaurant for such a busy event.

After a long week and zero desire to cook on a Friday night, I finally decided to give it a try. When I pulled up, the line was surprisingly short, which felt like a good sign. The order window is right out front, and the menu is simple and familiar: tacos, burritos, sopes, tortas, quesabirria. I ordered a little bit of almost everything: asada street tacos, a bean and cheese burrito, beans and rice, an asada mulita, an al pastor sope, and a quesabirria. Prices were reasonable, and I spent under $50 for the whole spread. Food came out in about 15 minutes and was packed neatly. The disappointment started once I got home. There was no salsa in the bags, which already put us at a disadvantage. Only then did I realize there's apparently a salsa bar inside along with a small seating area, something you don't see from the front order window. Had I known that, I would've grabbed what we needed before leaving. Then we opened the tacos and realized they came completely plain... no onion, no cilantro, nothing. Just tortillas and meat. Not exactly what I expected. Visually, everything else looked fine, so I was hoping the flavor would make up for it... but it didn't. Everything tasted bland, like the seasoning took the night off. The only thing I halfway enjoyed was the beans and rice, and my family felt the same way. Maybe my expectations were too high based on the crowds I always see, but everything tasted like tortillas, meat, and cheese... and not much else. I'll give them credit for fair pricing and quick service, but that's about it. I really wish the cashier had mentioned that the tacos come plain or pointed me toward the salsa setup. Overall, not the experience I expected, and not one I'd rush back for.

Although their prices are high, $16 for a torta, it's usually worth it, because their portions are quite generous. Earlier today, I ordered a torta to go, and I ended up extremely disappointed when I got home. It had literally half the meat, half the beans, and half the cheese that it normally does. This was the first time I'd been disappointed with their food, but I decided to call and express my dissatisfaction. I was passed to the manager who handled the situation in the most unprofessional way. I explained the issue to him, and he insisted that my torta today had the same amount of meat, beans, and cheese as always. I disagreed with him, and he responded angrily, "Everybody makes mistakes!" He raised his voice and repeated it a couple of times. It was completely bizarre that he chose to speak to me as if I was the one who'd done something wrong. It's very childish to do a subpar job and then get upset and frustrated when you're called on it. An adult apologizes and pledges to not blow it again. Anyhow, I don't tolerate disrespectful people so I'm done. I won't spend another penny there.
