Honestly, I was very disappointed. I understand that food prices have increased everywhere, but charging these prices--especially on Taco Tuesday--for some of the smallest tacos I've seen is unacceptable. Paying $5 for a small fry that had fewer than 15 fries is outrageous. It also took nearly 20 minutes to receive our food. While it was dinnertime, the service felt unusually slow. Overall, the food quality has declined, portions are significantly smaller than they should be, and prices have gone way up. To make matters worse, when I mentioned these concerns at the counter, the response was simply "okay," with little to no acknowledgment or concern for the experience. read more

The food was very good. It tasted authentic. I had the loaded fries the meat was spiced nicely With crispy potatoes and pico de gallo served with guacamole Very filling great to share. The quesadilla was very tasty the chicken was spiced with mild heat. The chili releno had spicy sauce and filled with a salty cheese. The relleno was great the next day. Great place for a quick bite and bring your appetite. read more

Where do I even start?! From the friendly staff, the variety, to the freshness and robust flavor, this place is top tier! I admonish you to order the chicken tortilla soup. It's bursting with flavor and great when you're craving something comforting. I'd also suggest trying the birria torta. I know, I know...birria is everywhere and some of us are sick of it. But this torta is absolutely a must-try! If you're ever in the Anderson area, PLEASE check this place out!!! read more

Food. A great variety for Taco Tuesday for $1.25. Barbacoa for $1.75 Service. This is not a full restaurant. A cashier and cook. Typical ambiance. It is clean, friendly, with good food. You can't ask for more without paying for it. read more

Would give this place zero stars if I could. It didn't take long for us to get our food, however it was terrible. I could make better tacos at home, wasn't authentic at all. I got 2 shredded chicken tacos with cheese & lettuce. Some parts of the chicken were still cold and tasted like it was microwaved. The food was so bland, there are many better options worth your money than this place. The only decent part was the chips and salsa bar. This will be the first and last time we come here. read more

For my first time going here I was honestly impressed with what I got. Customers service was cool, vibes were cool, food wasn't mid. The portion of food I got was perfect for what I ordered. 10/10 not a mid place. Will definitely be coming here again and again. Also I would suggest cutting the limes in 4 decent size piece the quarters are too small. But regardless of my opinion since I'm no one important I still enjoyed the food. read more

Food and service are great and the prices are extremely reasonable (especially on Taco Tuesday). The corn tortillas are a little dry so that's my only complaint. Love this place, chorizo is on point! read more

You have to order right away at the counter even with people waiting behind you... horrible. Tea tastes like dish water The food was so bland, and the steak was full of grisle. The prices are way too high. There is no table service at this place either, so be warned. I am never coming back! read more

The food was just bad. The quesadilla was smothered and cheese and the tortilla tasted like it wasn't cooked at all. The large cheese dip was okay but nothing special. There were not enough chips that came with the dip. read more

This review is long over due. Since I discovered this place a while back, I am endlessly impressed with the food. I've yet to find something I didn't like. Today, I had the Cuvana Torta with ham, beef, and cut up grilled hot dogs. It had lettuce, tomato, cheese, slices of avocado, and it was absolutely amazing. The bread was grilled to perfection and was very quality. I've never been there when the food wasn't fresh, delicious, high quality, and the restaurant, clean. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Anderson, if not the very best. 13/10 would recommend! read more

The couple of low star reviews for this place are way off base from actual reality. It is insane that someone can feel okay about leaving these guys a one star review. They should be ashamed really. Food is fantastic, staff and ownership are even better. I have much respect for these guys. They truly know how to serve the customer well. read more

The food was good. I had the Texas fajitas. Which is the same across the board in any Mexican place. Assorted bell peppers sautéed with onions and all 3 meats(steak,chicken and shrimp). The rice and beans was eh. The cheese used on the beans looks like they grabbed it out of a luchables. The staff was courteous, calm area and the food was good, just nothing to write home about. read more

I ordered the fajitas, delivered via Bite Squad. I lived in Houston, where they have some of the best Tex-Mex anywhere, for over 10 years and fajitas are my go to order. The fajitas are not very good. I strongly recommend ordering something else. My wife had the enchilada/quesadilla combo. She rated it as "OK". Not the best Mexican in Anderson. Also, the chips tasted like the were old. read more

I think the food is excellent here! I had the Chile relleno plate and it delivered everything it should have! Great, crispy batter and lots of cheese, served with chips, rice and beans. Love the salsa bar. The con is that this place can get a little loud and you order at the counter and they deliver to your table. It's small and by the time I left there was a very long line to order, so best to get there early. The food was delicious. read more

Tacos are da bomb! The Tacos Al Pastor were excellent!!

If you are going to get Mexican in Anderson I highly recommend. I like it because they have things you can't necessarily find at other places. I have not found a pambazo sandwich anywhere else. All their tortas are delicious. Today I got their birria tacos and they were so good, fall apart beef in a rich broth. Amazing. And I do like they include chips with all their takeout orders. Yum. read more

Great food, always so fresh! Staff is friendly and the best salsa around! Their Pollo Fundido is my favorite and Taco Tuesday is always a great idea! read more

Fantastic spot with a huge menu. I opted for a combo which consisted of Beans, beef burrito, and a grilled chicken quesadilla. Plenty of food that came with a drink for ~10$ after tax. Fantastic deal! They bring some tasty chips to your table while you help yourself to the best invention ever, a salsa bar! The salsa bar had your traditional hot and mild tomato based salsa, but also a bean salsa and mild/hot salsa verde. Each was very tasty with the verde salsa being a big surprise in flavor. If I am ever in the Anderson area again I wouldn't hesitate to stop in again. read more

My go to spot in Anderson for Mexican food. The owner and staff are super friendly and give great service. They make great, fresh margaritas and the chips are always fresh. I have liked everything I've tried on the menu. The portions on the burritos and quesadillas are huge! read more

Run away. Tacos taste like what we got in grade school cafeteria. No flavor. Bland. With tax and all came to just over $7. Way over priced for such simple bland tacos. I wonder if the beans were microwaved- I say this because I burnt the roof of my mouth with the first bite. Seriously, run away from this place. read more

I always order chili relleno whenever I go to mexican restaurants looking for the perfect flavor from when I was a kid growing up in south Texas. Its been over 30 years of searching and I have finally found it and its here. All of the food is good and the staff are friendly. I cant say enough about the chili relleno but the horchata is also very good as well. read more

We stopped by this place on a whim. We were looking for a place to grab a quick bite before a movie and were going to get pizza, but the pizza place was closed, so we thought that it couldn't take too long to make a taco. The first thing I noticed was that it was extremely clean and nice. The menu seemed like most other Mexican places in the area - on a quick look I didn't see anything extraordinary. They were quick to get our order out and the flavor of our food was excellent. We live closer to other Mexican restaurants but I think I would rather go back here than the other places in Anderson. I got the soft taco dinner combo and my wife got a hard taco dinner combo. The tacos were good, but the rice and beans were excellent. We both also enjoyed that they offered a choice of black beans or re fried beans, instead of defaulting to refried. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place was wonderful! My parents and I visited for lunch. The menu selection was large and they also had specials at the register. I had the the Chicken Chorizo rice bowl. Everything was cooked to perfection. I will definitely go back again and bring more family. read more

Saw that this place was opening in Anderson and advertised "Authentic Mexican" so I figured I'd be the judge of that. This food is awesome. Huge portions and I love their AL Pastor and Carne Asada tacos. Bring out freshly made chips and a pretty good salsa bar. I give my seal of approval! Definitely a must if in the area read more

El Taco has quickly become my favorite place in Anderson for authentic Mexican food. Street tacos, tamales, Chile poblanos are the real deal. My favorite is the grilled shrimp taco with mango habanero sauce. It is sweet with just a little heat. Everything tastes fresh and it's made to order. We look forward to trying their traditional soups such as Pozole and Menudo in the cooler months. This restaurant is very clean and the staff is friendly and informative. As a mother of a toddler I have to also mention clean restrooms. :) read more
