Okay, I do not say this lightly. But I may just have had the best tacos I've ever had in my life! I was looking around for a taco place in El Paso and this one popped up. Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had. The flavors were so balanced and on point, it was one of the most satisfying taco experiences I have had!! I will probably hit this place up a couple more times before I leave El Paso. If you are in El Paso, you probably already know about this place. But I'm telling you what you cannot go wrong for tacos and that lime/ cucumber fresca! Bottom line? It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out! read more

Not cheap as expected, but some of the most flavorful delicious tacos I've ever tasted. We started with the elote (corn on the cob) then had a grilled shrimp, grilled fish, and pollo(chicken) taco at the bar with a blue corn larger. The blue corn tortillas were amazing - I noticed they were 1/2 blue, 1/2 white but still delicious. Eating at the bar worked out well - the bartender helped us order and the tacos came out fast. read more

I used to like their tacos a lot. Unfortunately parking is not very accesible and we stopped going. It was past lunch and my mom and I were starving so we stoped here for tacos. The tacos were ok, I am not sure if it was me or something changed within the flavor. Patio was nice so, we had lunch outside. Service was fast. read more

This place was great! Nice ambience with indoor and outdoor seating. I think everything was pretty reasonably priced, but coming from Austin that's probably not saying much lol. Service was super friendly and very attentive. Seasonal boozy slush: 10/10 The seasonal flavor was guava and it was delicious! I only had one and was already a bit tipsy after. Suadero: 8/10 The meat was a little dry but very flavorful. There was a lot of meat and a hefty amount of guacamole too. Shrimp taco: 10/10 Very flavorful and refreshing! Green beans: 100/10 I loved these so much, still thinking about them. Perfect snack and the green beans were crispy. I also loved the sauce that came with it, and the portion was huge! read more

Friendly service. I don't think I understand the order window and then they tell you what table to sit at if you want to dine in. I went off other reviews to know about the order window, but there is clear signage on the door also instructing people to go order at the window. Food came out pretty quickly. My only critique is that the tortillas are thin and if you get a taco that's saucy, your tortilla will not hold up. It would be nice to have two tortillas for sturdiness, or maybe sauces on the side for people to add them when they are ready to eat. My food was good, I did not have a bad experience. Parking has days and times for certain spots, hopefully you find a spot there because street parking doesn't seem to be too much of an option unless you'd like to walk! read more

Located in an old section of downtown El Paso. Modern building with an open warehouse style design. Parking is limited adjacent to Taconeta but street parking abounds. Order is place through a window outside. Then you proceed inside to pick your table & to wait on your order. It gets busy during the lunch rush. Food is a contemporary innovation of traditional Mexican tacos. Their tortillas are made in-house & adds to the freshness & flavors of the tacos. read more

I enjoyed Taconeta! Tacos are made fresh to order and they're delicious! It was my first time in El Paso. I hadn't tried Elote before. It was delicious. The service is quick and the inside is clean and cozy. If you're in the mood for authentic tacos - check out Taconeta! read more

Dry meats and over priced tacos. I ate here at 11:45am so there shouldn't be any excuse about the freshness. I got the suadero, carnitas, and pollo tacos. Also got the Jamaica juice which was also mid at best, tasted watered down. This place is definitely your typical hipster joint that can get away with selling mediocre tacos at a high price. It's a shame people do not know any better so that the restaurant can get away with it. read more

Taconeta - All dry meats. Suadero, pollo, and carnitas. Salsa was good and saved the day. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish the tacos. - Tacos Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Cute little restaurant where you order at the window, get a number, then seat yourself. The line went by really fast, but I didn't realize that picking up was the same window as ordering. Since I ordered online, it felt a little bad to wait in line to get my food... considering the reason I ordered online was to skip the overall line wait. It has a parking lot as well which is a perk if you're an anxious driver who doesn't like street parking. The lot seems like it gets full though; I got lucky that there was a spot available for me. The tacos are just okay. The carnitas and suadero tacos are REALLY salty. Like, almost inedible. I didn't realize the carnitas taco came with just whole carrot slices lol. I would not order either of these again. The Baja shrimp and Baja fish tacos are the better ones. The fish is decent; not super deep fried which is nice. The shrimp I think is the best, but I am marking this restaurant as 2 stars because I found a strand of hair inside my shrimp taco. I grappled with myself for 30min. If I wanted to still eat it. For $5, I sadly did. The elote is really salty as well. I don't eat elote though so not sure if it's supposed to be this way? I would order the seafood tacos again. But I do not think I will come back considering the unhygienic kitchen practices. read more

Came here after co-workers recommend it. It did not disappoint. I ate some of the best tacos of my life here. Everything from the protein, the guacamole, and the tortillas were nearly flawless.

Taconeta El Paso is a true gem for taco lovers!

Awesome tacos. Recommended to me by a local, I'm glad I stopped by. I ordered three tacos - Baja shrimp, carnitas, and suadero. The Baja shrimp taco is one of the best I've ever had. Hot and fresh, plump shrimp, zesty flavors. The carnitas were delicious and the chicharon added a nice crunch. The suadero was good, but the brisket was warm, not hot. This took away from a total enjoyment of the meal, but not enough to say the taco want good. It was. Overall, this is a gem in a beautiful food city! read more

Came here before winter fest Saturday night, line was a little long to order, but once we ordered and sat down our food came quickly! Everything tasted really fresh and was super pretty, I really liked the camdt. We also got a cucumber lemonade, and a margarita which was really strong. Overall good experience, we did have to sit outside and it was really cold, they did not have heaters but the walls kinda blocked the wind. Music was pumping too! Great little spot! read more

Taconeta never disappoints. I took a friend who had never been, and we indulged a little bit. She tried the avocado tostada, which was loaded with avocado. The sweet potato is my favorite thing on the menu, and the elote is so good (and I'm an elote snob). I'm not a tres leches fan, but my friend ordered it. First- it's HUGE. Second- half the container is full of milk. Third- for someone who doesn't like tres leches, I will tell you it's delicious. Service is always great, they're quick and friendly. Vibe is always on point. If you've never been- what are you waiting for?! read more

We visited on BTS weekend and might have affected the wait time. In line we waited over 40 minutes. You order at the window and then you are assigned a table. Once we were seated our food came out within 10 minutes. I ordered the tacos (pollo, suadero, and carnitas) and they were delicious! The pollo taco was my favorite. Love the setting and environment. Very chill and relaxing. Definitely recommend it. read more

Best tacos I ever had! An absolute gem of a place in the El Paso area! The service was quick and friendly, and I love how the inside had tons of artwork on the walls. I definitely recommend this place as a contender for any restaurant outings with your friends! read more

Too good. I'm annoyed that I don't live in El Paso. Order at the window, and as soon as you get to your table, the food arrives. Probably some of the best carnitas tacos I've had. Esquites were also really good. Aguachile was quite bland though - lacked acid and heat. But still a solid taco spot! read more

In El Paso for business and someone recommended this place to a friend went there for a late night dinner. I ordered the vegan mushroom taco and the Suadero taco along with the crispy green beans and the camote . The other people in my party ordered a chicken taco, carnitas, shrimp and a teofilo. We were not disappointed. Food was amazing. Service was great if you're in El Paso give this a try. read more

As soon as a finished ordering the line to order at the window started piling up ---shrimp TEOFILO: nice crispy cheese layer ---baja fish taco: I liked the combination of sauces but the batter of the fish could have been crispier ---cameta: yummy sweet potato, nice flavors but definitely share as it's a lot of sweet potato for one person NOTE: Order before you're seated read more

Went for dinner while in the area! Was recommended by many as one of the best. The line was extremely long and we waited about 30 minutes to order. They do have a very efficient system to get your food out and get your seated once you have ordered. We say outdoors which was a fun vibe and the bar area looked like it was an experience for a Friday night. The food was okay, I didn't necessarily find it to be the best over but definitely okay. I would visit again if in the area. read more

Taconeta - Tacos Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I fell in love with Taconeta. The food, the service, the decor, the vibe, everything was amazing. After arriving in Fort Worth, I found this spot on Yelp. I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant at first because one person said it wasn't worth the wait. But the good reviews totally won me over, and I'm so happy we decided to go. It had started to rain lightly when we got there, but the line moved quickly, and honestly, I could see why people wait. It's definitely worth it. The process is super easy. You get in line, check out the menu on the board or grab a physical one, place your order, and then they seat you. If you want more food, the servers walking around are so friendly and attentive, they'll happily take your order. I tried the suadero, carnitas, and mushroom tacos, and wow, they were all delicious. If I had to choose favorites, the mushroom and carnitas tacos were the winners for me. The elote in a cup was okay, the corn was a little starchy and not as sweet as I like, but the corn on the cob was amazing. Even the music was great. I just wanted to dance and eat tacos all night. If I'm ever in El Paso again, I'm coming back for sure. read more

Best fresh new tacos in North America. Fight me if you want but you would have to offer me better. Initially I got pork and brisket which any additional sauce was just amazing with the purple inflected taco wrapper. It tasted so fresh and the perfect mixture of fried meat skin was just amazing. Literally drooled as I ate it. I watched other tables and also got the fried green beans and the spicy shrimp cold soup. Sorry, I only remember names after a few amazing experiences. 10/10 if you're visiting try here. The ordering mechanisms is a bit weird but worth it. read more

Exceptional tacos and agua frescas! There was a line around the building when we arrived on a Friday night (for good reason), and you order at the window before sitting inside or outside. Casual vibes, and each individual food item came out as it was ready. I was blown away by the perfect seasoning on everything- all the meats, the sauces, and the handmade tortillas. The Baja shrimp and carnitas tacos were so tasty! I also loved the hibiscus agua fresca, and my husband's horchata was the best I've ever tried. Would absolutely recommend- it's very much worth the wait! read more

Taconeta had great late night vibes, but their food was honestly a mixed bag for me. It was packed, so we sat at the bar and the bartender/server was friendly but seemed pretty rushed. I had the mushroom and chicken tacos and elote in a cup. The tacos were solid; I would recommend the mushroom one in particular. I felt like it was a unique taco and I enjoyed the fried tempura bits! The elote was kind of meh, and I would not get that again. Overall, lovely taco spot and would come back! read more

Excellent menu, so many good flavors. Wish I could go back for the green beans. We ordered the steak taco, fish taco, carnitas taco, green beans, elote and sweet potatoes and would order everything again, except for the hibiscus flower taco. A little too tart but so fun to try. Excellent service, quick turnaround for weekend lunch, dog friendly outdoor seating, fun decor throughout. We stopped on a road trip for lunch and I would go back to El Paso just to come here again. read more

SOOOOO GOOD! We went twice and everything we had was amazing. We are from LA and I wish we had a place this good. Well done Taconeta.

Order outside and then get seated with a table number. It seems like it's bustling here all the time. I got: 1) grilled elote - 3/5. the flavors were good, but the corn itself was not so good. 2) Baja shrimp taco - 5/5. Wish I woulda gotten more of these or with fish. 3) shrimp a la Diablo - 4/5. Different with grilled cheese. But still tasty. Staff are friendly here. Would return if in town again. read more
