Very randomly stopped by this taco shop because I was looking for some Al Pastor Tacos. The menu was in Spanish but it was pretty easy to read (4 years of Spanish in college paid off). You can't really order single tacos à la carte here; they come in a pack of 4; they are quite small but properly filled with meats. There is a salsa bar with plenty of accompaniments for your tacos as well as to go cups and bags to pack the salsa and veggies if you're taking the food away. The nice lady asked if I'd like some Jamaica or lemonade drink. It comes free with your meal. I chose Jamaica juice and it was refreshing. The shop itself is quite small but feels rather cozy; reminds me of the taco shops I've seen in Mexico. read more

Went to try this place during lunch, not wanting to go far work. Definitely not worth the amount they charge, $19.42 for 4 small tacos and loaded fries. The food didn't have much taste to it, the tacos had more tortilla taste than everything else. Couldn't taste the meat, cilantro, salsa, or lime. The fries had nacho cheese that over took all the flavors, the fries were half soggy and half over cooked. The place and staff are no problem but the food they offer for what they charge is insane. I wouldn't recommended this place at all still. The price that are on these reviews are outdated, current price for just 4 al pastor tacos $10.59 plus tax still fries were too badly over priced at $7.35 plus tax. The tacos are insanely small, you'll get a better price across the street and more flavor but I want to give a new place a try. Also got food for my coworker their order was $24.50 plus tax, 8 tacos half alambre half tripas $17.57 plus tax, to add cheese to the alambre $1.24 extra plus tax, he also got a baked potato $5.69 plus tax this is just a potato with butter, nothing else. $5.69 for a potato is crazy, you get a 5lb bag of potatoes for less at the store. Forgot to mention none of that came with drinks. read more

Los Tragones Grill - Papas Fritas con pastor Tacos de pastor (4) - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

First of all, the Agua Fresca is free. They have two options, Jamaica and Limade. You can ask for one or the other or for both, they'll bring the putchers to your table. I like doing half and half. The Carne asada is nothing special to write home about, they're ok. The alambre con queso tacos are messy but delicious, it's a little hard to distinguish where one taco ends and the other one starts. The gringas are just quesadillad with meat, I recommend the Pastor one. The pickled onion are amazing and so are the salsas, I recommend the orange one for spice and taste. Each order comes with eight tacos for around $9-$11depending on the meat. Service is friendly and the vibe is family oriented, I'll definitely be back for more. read more

I was on the trail and the time was already 5pm so I looked for tacos and they were the closest from the trail, and their review was really high so I decided to give it a try. When I walked in it's already packed which was a good sign, and luckily there was one table available and I sat there. I ordered Jamaica and 4 asada tacos, and I got all the condiments while they cook. Onions, limes, cucumbers, cilantros, and 3 kinds of salsas. As soon as I got tacos, I put asada on my tortilla, as well as cilantro, onion and salsa. I poured the red salsa A LOT on my first tacos and omg, soooo good! The asada was juicy and tender, full of umami to it! Then all the sudden, the red salsa kicked in, and I could not stop breathing weird and drinking Jamaica! Because I was soo in trouble with the hotness the ladies laughed at me and say "drink more water!" and I was like "I'm trying!" I tried all the other salsas but I still added a little bit of the red salsa on all the tacos so at the end, I was almost crying because of it, it was too hot and good! I couldn't stop because everything was too good. I will definitely come back soon. read more

Los Tragones Grill - Outside - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I enjoyed these tacos fairly inexpensive. Menu has gone through some changes so check it out. Everyday the tacos are buy one get one free only on the order of tacos. Excludes the cambo of soda, and backed potatoes. Ask before you order because it is only certain meats for the offer. Tripitas are new and you can have them made to your liking. I liked that the salsa bar includes cebollitas that are marinaded. You can decide whether your tacos have cheese or not. Place is fairly clean and the service is fairly quick. It is a busy place I must say finding parking can be tricky. I will definitely return. read more

Tiny tacos, and very expensive, not worth it. I can't believe how tiny the tacos were.And the worst ever tripitas tacos ever. 0 star rating

Good service, clean and great value for your buck! 3 starts because I was expecting more flavor in the meat. They could be better seasoned! read more

This place is a gem! You can tell the food was AMAZING by noticing I had no desire to take pictures of the food. This happens because after having one bite of their tacos al pastor, I had no desire to pull out my phone. This place is small, a bit dingy, and very run down. This is not a place you go to critique the ambiance, building or decor. My brother in law recommended this place to us for fast and cheap tacos. It is located in central El Paso, but completely worth an hour and a half drive. The menu is small but that is all you need. IF you sit down to eat they will give you FREE aguas frescas (lemonade or jamaica). They have spectacular salsas for every palate. I will DEFINITELY recommend this place to any one who wants to taste mouth watering fresh street tacos. read more

Used to love this restaurant. You got a good portion of food equal to the amount of money you paid. Right now a simple order of tacos will cost you about $9. With the drink your looking at about $12. Too much for a family of four. read more

When I say a diamond in the rough or hidden gem this place right here is that. Small whole in the wall in Central El Paso. Great service. If you dine in your get free lemonade. Buy an order get one free!! What more can you ask for. Love love this place!! read more

It's okay, but the quality has gone down. Maybe it was a one off? I'll still give it a chance when I come visit again.

Bomb tacos and free drinks when you eat there!! Parking is hard to find and they also only take cash but totally worth it.

Passing through El Paso on our way to Austin I was so excited to have some tacos so close to the border and finally get some real authentic tacos from Texas. Unfortunately, I stopped at the wrong place. First off, the parking is horrible. Though the service is quick, kind and helpful the food is depressing, disappointing and bad. I ordered 3 tacos Al Pastor and because of the 2 for 1 deal they always have running I also got 3 beef tacos, I couldn't tell if they were the Alambres other people are talking about or normal Carne Asada. When they came out they were tiny little tacos, though they did have a good portion of meat. Sadly the meat was not very good at all. The Al Pastor tasted bland and very unlike Al Pastor I have eaten at countless taco places around the country, including, since this day, other parts of Texas. And the steak tacos were just as bland, except also a bit cold. The tacos were certainly a let down here, I should've gone to the place across the street that had awesome reviews. Hitting 5 or 6 taco places in Austin the next couple of days showed me that the sad tacos at Tragones were thankfully limited to either just that establishment or all of El Paso, it was just an unfortunate first experience with tacos tejanos. read more

My wife loves this place. The tacos pastor are amazing. And the best part is that for the price of the one order you get two. The meat is cooked old style on a stick that vertically rotates around a flame. The cook then slices the meat onto a plate and then puts together for tacos per order. At the little condiment bar in the middle of the restaurant, you can choose from limes, chili onion, red or green salsas (which is very hot), and cilantro. If you eat at the restaurant, you get a pitcher of lemonade with four orders. My wife actually gave out five stars for this restaurant so you definitely need to eat here. Just remember this is a cash only restaurant. They do not take checks, credit cards, debit cards, or anything else for trade. Cash only. read more

We were looking for an inexpensive late lunch and Taqueria Guadalajara was closed. So I looked up reviews on Yelp and found Los Tragones. They have an advertised special; street tacos for two people, 4 tacos each, for 6.99. One can choose Alambré (which is beef cooked with bacon, bell pepper, onion)or Al Pastor (which is pork, slow cooked on a rotating spit.) The waitress was nice enough to let us try a half and half order and we split a baked potato, which came with a huge gob of margarine (yuck,) which we immediately discarded, replaced with some fiery aguacate salsa and a good dose of cilantro. The potatoes with the green sauce were sooo delicious! The taco meat was perfectly seasoned and I liked the flavor of the medium red chili sauce that I chose. I also added some chopped Cucumber, onions that had been pickled in lime juice with oregano and dried Chile, and more cilantro. The crunch and freshness of the cucumber was an especially nice contrast to the slightly greasy and salty goodness of the Al Pastor. For under ten dollars you would be hard pressed to find a more delicious meal for two people. I ate a little bit too much! We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

Los Tragones Grill - So delicious! Tacos Alambres and Al Pastor at Tragones on Piedras. - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

It's good but they keep making it smaller and smaller each time we go. It used to be GREAT! but now, not so much. Hope this changes..

This place has the best tacos in El Paso, I'd say that they are almost as good as my beloved "tacos el gordo" in San Diego and Tijuana. Also very cheap, do wish they had guacamole tho. read more

Mandatory stop for us whenever we stay or pass El Paso. Al pastor and alambres tacos are BOGO and it's free limeade or jamaica! One of two of their red salsas has a hint of soy sauce and it's amazing!!!! I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. read more

I'm not from El Paso and i was in town looking for some tacos so i decided to give them a try. First of all, it's cash only. Second, not the taste i was hoping for, but don't get me wrong; the tacos have good taste. They're pretty good. Not my very favorite but i will go back. Customer service is good, and it's affordable, aguas frescas are free when dining in, also alambre tacos and tacos al pastor are bogo so if you order an order of tacos (4) you receive 8. Parking is very limited and they open everyday until 10 pm. Overall i was satisfied with the food. read more

Some of the best tacos al pastor in town! They have an actual "trompo" with the meat cooking and marinating. Just be sure to bring cash because that's all they accept. The red/orange salsa is spicy!! You've been warned read more

When 2/16/17 to check out this place. I was told that it was delicious. So I met up with a friend. We each ordered the tacos al pastor x2 with a back potato and a pitcher of lemonade. I was shocked as this place has only two meat offerings for their tacos. However, the food and lemonade were very good. I'll come back. read more

A very good deal, especially for what you get. You get more than what you pay for. Excellent tacos at an amazing price! Cash only, yes, but the deal is so worth it! read more
