Absolutely delicious tacos! My whole family loved them! Fast service, clean and good portions for the price! We will be back again and again! read more

Picked this up for a quick dinner and was so glad I did! Ordered al pastor and carne asada mini tacos, and a quesadilla with carne asada. The al pastor was juicy and delicious, and one of the best I've had. The carne asada was good but I felt could've had more flavor to it. The quesadilla was hard to put down, also one of the best I've had. It was easy to place an order online and service was quickl upon arrival. There is some seating inside in a very casual setting. Highly recommend if you're craving some tacos! read more

First time going. Great service. Friendly staff. Food was piping hot and fresh. Can't wait to go back.

Recommend: Maybe. Lately I've been craving tacos and yes, I've eaten tacos before but I continue to be on the hunt for some tacos worth coming back to. In case you are craving tacos, Tacos El Takin will satisfy your craving but I do not consider them as ones that will draw you back in. Especially since there are 2 other taco places, I noticed, within the same block. Food: i went with family and we ordered Asada mini tacos and Campechano (mixture of 3 meats) mini tacos. The tacos came out freshly made and hot with onions, cilantro, and a creamy green sauce (maybe their version of guacamole, not spicy). Other salsas were available at the entrance. They both had a good spice to them. The tacos were full of meat and I did enjoy that it was chopped into very small pieces. I did not see much fat in them either, which I appreciated. We also got their agua fresca- Jamaica. It was very good. Service; The service was fast, friendly, and the staff answered all questions regarding the menu. Ambiance: They played music, mostly salsa. It was not loud and allowed for us to speak normally. The location of the restaurant was a little hidden, I thought the GPS had taken me to a closed location. Once we made the corner, we saw the well lit restaurant. There is an ok amount of parking. The tables were not sticky and appeared to be clean. read more

Amazing friendly service... among hundreds of Mexican restaurants this one stands alone! Amazing food!

Friendly staff, terrific tacos. I need to try some of their other offerings, but those tacos are hard to pass up. Check it out!

I'm normally not a person that liked to enjoys Hispanic/Mexican cuisine. It often gives me stomach issues. However, ordering here on Uber Eats, I found that I liked it a lot, so I had to try it in person. You order at a small window, the person taking the orders looks to either be the head cook/chef and knew pretty much all about the menu, suggesting different foods and toppings and ingredients. I settled on the chicken torta and a couple of tacos. The wait was a little bit, but the food came out extremely fresh and very hot. I'm happy to report that it's all fresh made. I also picked up some horchata and the amazing spicy sauce. I eat pretty spicy, and even this sauce gave me a kick. The horchata was amazing as well, and not stocked full of ice. The restaurant itself is a bit barren. Some benches and a few tables. The chairs were a bit uneven, so I rocked a bit back and forth. Overall, it's clean and a okay place to sit and eat. If you're in the mood for Hispanic/Mexican, give this place a shot! It's delicious both delivery and eating in. read more

Great tacos. Even better torta. Really nice people. This place is definitely worth making a detour for! We were looking for a simple dinner spot and were lured in by the high ratings. Could it really be that good? Heck yeah! Tacos El Takin is nothing fancy. The food truck outside the restaurant reminds you they aren't far from a humble 4-wheeled beginning (and that they do catering for weddings and parties!) The inside is pretty basic with some booths and tables, fine for larger groups. My bf got the campechana street tacos - an easy way to try a couple meats at once. Each taco was a loaded, tasty bite. A squeeze of lime cuts through the richness of the meat really well. I got the torta with the asada & pastor to try something new. You can have just one meat, or you can mix it up! The torta came out well toasted, fresh off the grill and piping hot. It was hard not wolfing it down and burning my mouth/hands at the same time. Some restraint is beneficial here.. The torta had avocado, beans, and cheese, making it very hearty. This is the best torta I've had since going to Mexico! We'll definitely be making a trip back here soon. read more

Tacos El Takin - This was leftovers we brought home - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Was looking for a new taco place other and stumbled across this place here on Yelp. My new favorite go-to because the chicken mini tacos are perfect and there's hardly ever a line. My brother loves the carne asada tacos with queso fresco and raved about the charro beans. His second time having them, he added chicken quesadillas to his order and apparently those are pretty good too. I can't wait to try some of the other things on the menu, but these chicken mini tacos have me in a chokehold. Pro tip: Say "pura salsa verde, por favor," when ordering and thank me later! read more

Tacos El Takin - Can you tell I loved my food ? - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I feel like the service was amazing but the torta and tacos seemed bland and the salsa wasn't very flavorful the price for what you get doesn't feel like I would go back again read more

The pastor from here is very good, the marinade on the meat really comes through. I like that the tacos aren't very greasy the times I have ordered. You even get some of the cooked onions on the side. I have always gotten cilantro and onions that looked fresh as well. I like getting the chilaquiles order as well. The tortilla chips are usually still crispy even with the sauce and sour cream on top. I just wish the tortilla pieces were a bit bigger. The burritos are probably my least favorite here but still passable and decent size. read more

Amazing service and food!! It turned outs that they have a nice indoor seating area. We had got the Loaded Fries and 2 Gringas. It was delicious and definitely deserves 5 STARS!! We'll be back!! read more

First and foremost, the service is always amazing every time I come. I have had different employees check out my order, yet they always are so amicable and helpful with menu options. The food is incredible, greasy but oh so worth the calories. In addition, every visit I have had, the restaurant is surprisingly slow. Shocking because this place is so great!!

A true hidden gem in San Antonio! Every time I have walked in I'be been greeted with a smile, kind service, and suggestions. The food is incredible!
