A couple of weeks ago, we went across to Juarez, Mexico for a few hours. We needed to come back before noon to El Paso and we didn't have time for lunch. Once in El Paso we came to Tacotote next to Costco because my wife and I were craving Mexican food. We have been there several times and it a taqueria like in Mexico. We both ordered a package each. My wife had their chicken tacos and I had one shrimp and one mushroom tacos along with sides and a drink. We chose Horchata that we love. You order at the register and they bring your food to the table. Their tortilla chips are freshly made to enjoy with their great selection of salsas and condiments, all free of charge. The place is always very clean including the restrooms and the open kitchen! read more

Holy crap. Best al pastor tacos I've ever had! First time visiting El Paso and was told by multiple Lyft drivers that I needed to try this place. I was hesitant to get the regular tacos due to cost so I got the al pastor taco plate for $10+tax instead. I'm hungry again just writing this review. Meat was super savory, and guac added a juicy consistency to complete the taco. Beans and pico from the topping bar were standard. You can help yourself to unlimited chips as well. Seriously, this beats all the taco trucks I've visited in Houston and Galveston so far. I'll be back here the next time I'm in El Paso. read more

Star date 6.29.2025 - The good: always an abundant variety of salsas and garnishes. The meh: I ordered tripitas and they ranged from very crispy but, mostly all of them were chewy and hard to eat. The bad: restrooms were disgusting. Food score: 3.5 out of 5. Restroom score: 1 out of 5. read more

Tacotote - Bassett - Tacos Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This was my first visit to a Tacotote. I'm in town for work, so I stopped in for a quick lunch. I ordered the Tacotote plate with two bistek tacos on corn tortillas and charro beans for my side. There was a decent section of food items and plenty of protein choices - including vegetarian. You also get free tortilla chips and a good selection of salsas and fresh toppings. The charro beans are absolutely delicious! I could've just had those and been content. The bistek taco meat was flavorful and moist. The interior is nice and open with plenty of seating. There is a drive thru option as well for on the go. The service was excellent. The employee who took my order was in training with another. Both had great customer service. The lady who brought my food to the table was also nice. My only thing is with an open fresh toppings bar and self serve tortilla chips, I'd recommend having a sanitizer station close by. You will definitely want to wash your hands or at least sanitize after using the utensils in the self serve areas. I would definitely come back here for a quick lunch. read more

On Sunday 2/2/2026 I went to the restraunt to get dinner at 8:45pm as I walked in the person at the counter turned off the menu boards and told me as I approached the counter that they were already closed for the night but the sign on the door said that they were open till 9:00 pm. Would not be going back terrible customer service. read more

Great, reliable taco spot! I brought along some coworkers that had never been to El Paso before, and likely never had good Mexican food before. My boss said these tacos were probably one of the best meals he's had!! We asked the cashier a lot of questions and for recommendations and she did a great job at helping us understand the menu. The food came out fast and the sauce bar/chip station was fully stocked. The tortillas were perfect and the meat has great flavor. Tip: the rice & beans side is the same price as just beans so might as well get both! I love having the option to dress up my tacos with a variety of salsas and garnishes. These type of chips are my favorite! Sturdy, thick, fresh, and crunchy! The guacamole was fresh and a great way balance the heavier flavors of the rest of the meal. We got the taco plate option which is perfect to have a filling, well-rounded meal that won't leave you feeling too stuffed. read more

I'm visiting from out of town and needed a suggestion for dinner. A colleague recommended this place. Parking and getting there is pretty easy. Good signage is nice because Texas is hard to drive around if you don't understand their roads. Inside, you find the register at the back of the room. I tried to figure out the menu but had to ask. The guy behind the counter kind of mumbled through his mask. I decided on the nachos as it came up on the TV behind him. Made my life easier. Once the food came, I bellied up to the salsa bar. Great choices there. Something for everyone that have eaten at food trucks. The nachos were okay. I think the cheese was similar to the stuff you get at 7 Eleven. The rest of the toppings were higher quality. The drink area is above average. You have a lot of sugar soft drinks (few diet choices). You can get horchata or jimica too. It wasn't a bad experience. All the staff were taking care of bussing tables and working hard. Not typical service you receive at restaurants like this. read more

I went today and it was horrible. I went through the drive thru paid over $37 for my food only to be given old salsa and old guacamole. I should have checked it before I left but stupid me, I trusted them to provide me with fresh food. I guess the fresh food is for the customers that go inside and the customers that use the drive thru get the old food. Guacamole looked ok but it tasted really bitter like they used old limes. Also the Guacamole salsa was dark so it's old it wasn't the bright green when it's fresh. Im just so disappointed and the sad thing is they dont care. If they cared they would be on top of it maintaining the quality . read more

Good golly Batman. 27 bucks for 4 tacos . INSANE. Tacos were 3.5 stars. Good not great. Above average size. Drive thru service took over 15 minutes with 4 cars. Worst price gouging I've seen in a while. Appropriate price would be a half of what they charge. read more

Best tacos I have ever had! Freshly made tortillas packed with a TON of meat iand the Sirloin and Bistek are both super tender and flavorful. Their salsa and topping bar is second to none and comes with free chips. All 9 of the salsas are freshly made and delicious, and range in heat from mild to very spicy. The staff is very friendly and keep the dining room and kitchen spotless. I will definitely be back! read more

Tacotote - Bassett - Amazing salsa and topping bar! - Tacos Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I'm writing as I'm sadly eating here. So you get the taco which is plain as it only has the meat - you're supposed to put all the toppings which are located in the salsa bar. I ordered the Chicken Adobado tacos along with Charro Beans and a drink. They make tortillas fresh and I ordered a flower and corn. The corn tortilla ended up falling apart. The Charro beans literally taste and look like freaking bean soup with bacon. There's no taste. And don't get me started with the drinks area which they actually have two large soda machines, one of them, which is overflowing with liquid, and the second one which is overflowing with ice and people are just using it and dumping everything in. They have "aguas frescas" which isn't fresh because it's from a machine - no thank you. I'm visiting El Paso and my colleague recommended this place and I am just not sure what you think of them anymore. I can't believe I'm here. I expected way more, considering that El Paso is known for their Mexican cuisine. Overall, this place is also a little bit dirty and the salsa bar has a variety of salsas, along with cucumbers and all the toppings. The pico de gallo does not look fresh at all. read more

This place is absolutely outstanding in terms of food, quality and overall experience. I love the fact that you can have handmade tortilla tacos and also you have a very large and plentiful salsa bar with all kinds of condiments for your tacos.

Tere was incredibly helpful with my large order. Happy customers. This is a favorite when ordering for my teams.

1.Staff waited till there was a line of 10 to open another register. 2, No manzanita 3. No Charro beans 4. Place smelled like floor detergent 5. Restroom Men's had hand soap in a cup for your convenience.dispenser was not mounted on the wall. 6.

Great service, great food, if you like shrimp you'll like this place too. Sirloin taco is great and the ambience around is awesome

I love the sauces you get with every meal. The first place I ever ate at in El Paso was TacoTote. On my second trip, I had to return for more tacos. Since I'm not from the area (yet), I was surprised to be able to get a baked potato as a side. It definitely appealed to the Appalachian native in me, while the tacos satisfied my craving for, well, tacos! Don't get me wrong, I mainly stopped in because places like L&J, Kiki's, and the other place up the street from here we packed solid, but it's still decent fast food Mexican for my tastes. If course, when I left town, I had to take a dozen gorditas from Delicious with me. read more

The service was bad. It was around 3 pm on Thursday, so it was slow at that time. It took 15 minutes to get our food and they forgot one of our entrees and another 20 minutes to get a steak and cheese quesadillas. There was 3 employees standing around in the kitchen area and one person cooking. Not good hospitality. One of those employees should have gotten right on it to get that entree cook asap! Also, the bathrooms smelled like an OUTHOUSE! I will not be coming back! read more

Came on a Wednesday night - I really wanted some good El Paso tacos. I ordered barbacoa on corn tortillas and I had them add a queso flameado. The barbacoa was really good, nice and clean and not full of fat. The tortillas must have been old or not heated well but they crumbled while I ate the taco. The queso is a disaster didn't even bother tasting it. They get shredded cheese - throw it on a grill and half ass cook it - The cheese was still shredded and the sheet of oil at the top was just gross - They use the wrong kind of cheese. El Taco tote is a sad broken taco with cheap government cheese. read more

I think tacotote killed me. This food is so good, if I was on death row it might be my last meal and that's coming from a non-taco person. I've never been crazy about them, but this place is so good I could cry. I got the shrimp, barbacoa, adobo chicken and sirloin tacos plus a bunch of sides. The tortilla shells are super thin and they are filled with meat. Not only that but the meat isn't fatty, and it's so flavorful you could eat the meat by itself. I think all the sides were free, I got onions, salsa verde and rojo, cilantro, limes, pico and the side of guac was totally worth the $4 for the container. I cannot stress how amazing this food is, specifically the adobo chicken and sirloin tacos. I'm full but want to order more. They also packed the food extremely well. To have 2 salsas, pico, chopped onions and guac all in a little bag with napkins and have none of them spill? A1. This also looks to be the lowest rated tacotote which I don't understand because how do you go up from the very top. So good. read more

Ordered a pastor taco. It was $3.75 per. I thought, at that price, its probably decked out. To my surprise it was just meat on a flour tortilla. It wasnt even pastor. Half the meat in the taco was grizzley. Glad I only ordered one. It was literally the worst pastor taco Ive ever had as well as the most expensive. Besides the sub par taco, the place is noisy as hell. I guess that explains why the place was near empty. The only reason I gave two stars is because the cashier was polite and the place looked and smelled clean. read more

The inside was nicely decorated and very clean. The menu was confusing. You do not have the option to purchase just two carne asada tacos. The minimum is 6. That to me makes no sense. Other meats have the option to do Individual options. One of the workers however was super sweet and helpful. The guy behind the register not so much. read more

On Christmas Day, this is the only place open! The shrimp taco was fantastic and the Barbacoa was pack with beef flavor and the shredded beef need no effort to melt in the mouth. All the condiments and s are fresh and tasty. While the price isn't exactly inexpensive, the quality was quite well. If we visit El Paso again & stay at the hotels around the corner, this is definitely a return. read more

This place is definitely overpriced and overhyped. The lady who took our order had some difficulty when we asked her if she could add cheese to the tacos. And she was like oh so you want a quesadilla, we told her no just some cheese on top of the taco. And she said that's a quesadilla... she eventually got her manager and he then explained the difference between a taco and quesadilla as if we didn't already know the difference. I think it's important to note that the quesadilla had a 10-15 min wait listed on their menu. I'd love to know what it takes that long, seeing as it's not complicated and most people can make it in 5 at home. Finally they charged us for some extra cheese on the side. We also got their guacamole which was just avocado, which we had no problem with but they put some much lemon in it, it was overpowering. The menu also showed this overstuffed taco and what we got was far from that, not worth $5 per taco. I got the sirloin taco which was pretty tasty. I also liked all the sauces they had. They do give a good amount of beans and rice (you could easily split it between two people). The chicken taco wasn't good at all. It tasted like it was pre-made frozen chicken and lacked anything interesting. While this is not the worst place to get tacos and was overall okay, the price is not worth it, not even a little bit. I know of way better places with tacos that are half the prices and 10x better. read more

Just might be the best taco joint on the face of the planet. That's honestly all you need to know.... Tonight, didn't know what I wanted, so I got 3 tacos-fajita beef, the chicken adobado and shrimp (and a Tecate...;). Came out with limes, onions, pico, 3 different sauces that were awesome, this pink marinated onion that is normally reserved for royalty (ok, kidding there), and some pan fried onions with jalapenos that frankly I think I need to add to just about everything I eat from now on...so, yeah, I like this place. Gets crowded sometimes-but thankfully they are patient with gringos. read more

It's been sometime since I've ate at Taco Tote.. It's very unfortunate that the quality of the food has dropped. The rice was hard. and their bistec tacos were really chewy. The food portions are smaller and the prices are higher. I understand trying to run a profitable business, but don't cut back on the quality of your product . I definitely don't plan to come back. read more

First time going here, the food was awesome, i had the shrimp, chicken, pork and carne asada tacos on flour tortilla. It was very good for a fast food chain. Now why the three stars? Well i went through the drive through and they took like 15 mins for four tacos, on top of that i ordered two salsas and 2 sour creams and they forgot the salsa after they assured me that everything was in the bag when i tried to look. Would i go back? I think so but i would go inside or check my stuff again. I know its not a taco bell i could do 5-7 min wait but a solid 15 mins its a bit much. read more

Placed our order online for drive up. Once I got there I parked in the labeled stall and called the phone number as listed. No one answered the phone. After multiple attempts at calling I just picked up through the drive thru. It took me a total of about 20 minutes to get my food between calling and waiting in the drive through which wasn't ideal. Once I got to the window it only took a minute to get my food. Everything was hot when I got home and my order was correct. The food was great. I was very surprised at the quality considering its "fast food" but we were all happy. Everything had good flavor and the tortillas were fresh made. I'd definitely go back but I probably wouldn't bother with trying to do an online order again read more

This place has certainly grown on me! Not sure why i was so resistant to this taco place for the longest time. Its most likely because I am super committed to my couole other spots and didnt wanna bother lol. Boy was i wrong about that! I absolutely LOVE their pastor tacos and shrimp tacos!! Their shrimp tacos are probably what wins me over the most because it has just the right grilled up flavors on such a delicious, freshly made tortilla. But what truly won me over before that were their pastor! I dont care who thinks pineapple with pastor is not an authentic mexican food, i freaking LOVE it! And they serve theirs with the perfect flavor of pastor and delicious pineapples. Very generous meat helping too and majority is actual meat, not just the fatty part! Not a fan of their queso fundido though. Maybe the first bite was good while the cheese was super hot and metly. But let that puppy start cooling down so that you can eat your shrimp or pastor first, that queso because too tough to even poke through for scooping. It was a ghastly price too for all that cheese and i only had a bite basically. I love this location the most because its super convenient for a great lunch fix before a lil Costco run lol. Plus, its much bigger than my NE location. read more

Unfortunately it was the height of Covid pandemic when I got to Elpaso and Ft Bliss. But I had been there before (2019) and had a week or so of eating there inside (2020) before the whole city was shut down. Could not wait till they started take out. Fast food tacos that the entire USA should have. There I said it. Forget about everything else, food is really authentic south of the border, tastes amazing for a fast food joint. My favs were the pork adobado spicy tacos and the fajita tacos. Oh Lordy! read more

El Taco Tote is my guilty pleasure. As a kid, we spent a lot of time in Juarez and I was always ecstatic when we were going to El Taco Tote. And now we have at least one ETT on each side of town! Now before you out-of-town naysayers start judging me when there's 1,687 authentic Mexican restaurants I could eat at, just remember this is a chain, fast food joint that occasionally we all crave. So no, I'm not comparing this to places like L&J's or Kiki's...I'm comparing it to places like Chipotle and Taco Cabana. I've had almost everything here, but I'm addicted to the Pork tacos! Always with the flour tortillas (I wish they sold them) and the onions. Let's have a moment of silence while we drool over the delicious, little things............... Oh man and the salsa bar! The Avocado salsa is the best I've had anywhere. There's at least 6 different options and then you can grab limes, cilantro or onions. The Pico de Gallo is pretty good too. At the front you'll find a self serve 'chip bar', but they only give you these rinky dink paper bowls to fill up. I always grab like four. I also use the bowls for the salsa. Ya I know the plastic cups are for the salsa, but I need more than a shot of that stuff. It's a chain so you know the staff is continually changing. You might have to place you're order in Spanglish, but who cares? It's good eats! read more

I love coming here for their sizzling meat entree's, homemade tortillas and fresh salsa and salad bar! If you're ever in El Paso and are looking for some quick but delicious food, this place is a must! Great for families or parties with a large room to seat plenty! There's also a glass room area that over looks El Paso and Juarez as well- very beautiful! Prices are a little bit expensive but all their food is cooked with their special marinade and all homemade and fresh. If you get the platter entrées, it runs around $21.00 for 3/4 of a lb with 6 piping hot tortillas, rice and their charro beans or baked potatoes. You think it's not a lot but wait until you dress it and eat it! Will definitely come back here like I always do! read more
