Eat tacos. Sip tequila. Repeat. Probably one of the best taco restaurants I've been to in El Paso! I could say so much for you to believe me, and it honestly starts with the speedy (and kind) service, flavorful profiles and the pricing! My first visit I just simply couldn't believe it. Each visit, I try something new and I must say that I'm hooked on the Jamaica Margarita (with the tajin rim), and the pork shoulder taco, as well as the chicken taco! The Baja shrimp taco is also in my top 3! The staff is kind, energetic and will remember you; not just from personal experience but from my observations as well. Service is fast, food is hot and it's a great place to be! There is no wi-fi, but it is a FUN and engaging place for sure! I'd recommend a bar seat if you're lucky Warning: You may leave planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. read more

This restaurant was recommended to me as one of the best places to get tacos in the area. The recommendation lived up to the expectations. It's basically food truck tacos in a nice brick and mortar. The service is outstanding. The staff are helpful with recommendations and they constantly walk around clearing the tables and asking if there's anything we need. Here's what I ordered: *Baja shrimp tacos- *Baja fish tacos- *Grilled elote- (fresh off the grill) *Boozy Slushie- read more

There's a walk up window you order from and receive a number to place on the table when you find an open seat. I love the different beers they offer here. The tables have some homemade sauces you can use in your tacos. I might be a little underwhelmed by the tacos here. They were just okay to me, nothing too special. Some aspects were definitely good, eg the tortillas were decent and seemed freshly made. read more

Very cool experience. You order outside at the window, they tell which table to go to, and I kid you not, the food comes out SO QUICKLY. I ordered the suadero taco, Baja shrimp, elote (corn in a cup), and a horchata. Great depth of flavor and the price is on point read more

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

Well -to be fair -I just got two tacos -one chicken and one beef on a soft taco shell and it was really good.

Nice place. You order outside and based on your party size they tell you where to sit. We came two days running. First time the food quality was better than the second. Felt the second day they were busier and a little rush and consistency and quality lacked, my tacos were more slapped together than handled with care. The baja shrimp, baja fish and brisket were my favourite ones - I'm a sucker for baja. The chicken and pork were good as well. Get the corn on the cob, the corn in a cup was greasy and not good. Tried to get Tres Leches but were sold out. Margaritas were good and Agua Fresca were refreshing especially with the El Paso dry heat. read more

Taconeta - Aztec Salad - Tacos Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Growing up in Mexico my taco expectations are high. Taconeta is not your typical Mexican place in the US. It's like a taco shop that you will find in upscale neighborhoods in Mexico. Funky atmosphere, unique tacos and other dishes along with awesome beverages non alcoholic and with liquor, great music and service. I prefer vegan or pescatarian food so Taconeta offers both. You have to order at the exterior window and pay, they give you a number to place on your table to have your order delivered to you. My wife had a couple of the chicken tacos in achiote sauce (from Yucatan) served with guacamole onion, cilantro and Cotija cheese on blue corn tortillas. I ordered the Aztec Salad (vegan) quinoa, black beans, corn pico de gallo, avocado and an achiote vinaigrette sauce. Then I also ordered a Mushroom Taco (vegan) prepared in a tempura batter, salsa pickled red onions and crispy kale on a blue corn tortilla. I also had a Baja Fish Taco, the fish prepared in a tempura batter with cabbage slaw and chile mayo, also on a blue corn tortilla. To drink I ordered their delicious Horchata. The server, as all here, super friendly. I have been here a few times when visiting El Paso. In conversations with friends in Las Cruces where to dine in El Paso, Taconeta usually comes up! 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

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

Taconeta El Paso is a true gem for taco lovers! You have to try their "Baja Fish taco -- with divine crispy tempura cod nestled with fresh cabbage and topped with a chili mayo that melts in your mouth like a spicy cloud of happiness. My wife's eyes light up every time she bites into the Baja Shrimp -- it's pure love and joy on your plate! And don't miss their advocado tostadas -- creamy guacamole topped with crunchy pumpkin seeds, a perfect combo of textures and flavors that keeps you coming back for more. The service here is always friendly and efficient. Taconeta always delivers great value and it is why it has become a culinary destination in El Paso. This place is a fiesta of flavors and good vibes. Mucho gusto indeed! read more

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

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

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

I invited my family out for dinner, to celebrate my daughter's & my brother's birthday on July 3rd. I had never been to Taconeta, as I don't live in El Paso. My decision to go was based on a few reviews I read. As we got to the order window, we were greeted by a young man, whose demeanor was appalling. We still ordered some food, as we were still waiting on other guest to arrive. I ordered a grilled corn on the cob to eat while the other guest arrived, said corn was full of fungus at the tip ( which wasn't visible due to the garnishment on it ) as I bit into it I realized I'd bitten into the awful tasting fungus. I decided to go back to the window and show the young man, he was awful. As I showed him the corn, he responded by what do you want me to do about it, followed by you could have told a waiter ( this is a you order your food, then sit place ) The tone & demeanor that followed by this person was completely out of hand, uncalled for, and totally reprehensible. At no point in our interaction did I raise my voice, or use words that were offensive. Instead of resolving, or at least offer to resolve the issue he quickly escalated something that was very easy to resolve. As the rest of our guest arrived the decision was to go somewhere else to have dinner, there were 8 of us. The restaurant missed out on 8 dinner guest because of this one employee. I am not one to get into confrontations for something so small but, I will not forget how I am treated. I only give one opportunity to any restaurant I go to. Employees are the face of any business, they are the one's that can attract more people. If, they are rude, obnoxious, disrespectful to their customers when it is unwarranted, they can bring the business down to a close. To the owners of Taconeta, choose your employees wisely. Manage them appropriately, teach them how to resolve issues instead of becoming the issue. Sadly, I have nothing nice to say, not of the food, nor the employees, or the restaurant itself. 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.

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 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

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
