This hidden jewel is a MUST Eat! Took my mom who is skeptical about eating Mexican food well.., because any Mexican mother always says they can make it at home. After ordering the fried fish and sopes, the authenticity of the food definitely surpassed hers and my expectations. Service was on point with a smile, the place reminded me of being in Mexico . Restaurant was clean and smelled so good !!! Even though this place is a ways from where we live, it is worth coming back to eat the food. We are looking forward to our next trip passing through. read more

Our Waitress made us wait close to 30-40 mins for my mom's food meanwhile all her kids food came out within 20 mins...on mother's day. We then ordered something to go & they for some reason keep her waiting 30-40 mins & the whole time the order is on the counter waiting for someone to hopefully pick it up...Im still so confused why they didnt tell her that her order is ready...But i can't lie, the food was good. read more

Great food and service was excellent! Will return in a consistent manner. I recommend this family owned restaurant.

I know it's anomalous to order crispy tacos at what I feel is an authentic Mexican restaurant, but their tacos dorados are delicious. I get them along with the carne asada burrito and an horchata every time I come to Delano to visit my parents. Today, we ordered 10 tacos dorados, 2 carne asada burritos, a side of rice and beans, large chips and salsa, and a medium horchata. Everything came out to $50 and some change. Prices have gone up over the past few years, but so has every other restaurant. Needless to say, the food is still very delicious and the way the food is put together, looks like they actually care about presentation and the customer's thoughts. read more

The food has been delicious, hot, and fresh every time I've ordered here; they are very consistent. I call in my order and they have it ready for pick up in about 10 minutes. Also, it's a cute little place to sit down and eat in if that's what you are wanting. read more

Food is always on point. Service is good. Ordered the steak picado this time around as it's always my go to when I go an authentic Mexican restaurant. There has been thee spots that has made this the best. 1. Mariscos Las Brisas in Ontario 2. La Guadalajara Cantina in Lake Elsinore 3. Taqueria Tampico in Delano I've also ordered the cabesa tacos. This place has got to be one of the best. read more

Their food is always consistent. Plus you have the option for fresh tortillas that they press there in house and slightly bigger tacos. They have been around for years and it's been the same owners. So whatever you're craving they pretty much have it there from tacos to soups to seafood. Try them out. You won't regret it. Sorry I forget to take pictures of my food, but I have been there twice this week. And didn't regret getting my food from them. read more

Love their rice and the refried beans are phenomenal! Great fried shrimp! Very friendly and helpful. They treat you like their best friend!

Food and service are top notch! Finished dropping off a patient at the hospital and got recommended here. Did not disappoint !

Casual, authentic Mexican restaurant offering delicious home made food - plain and simple. We tried a few items including a shredded beef tostada, shredded beef sopes, a seafood botana and a couple of carne asada tacos. Everything we tried was delicious and authentic. My favorites were the tostada and the botana. The shredded beef on the tostada was flawlessly seasoned and had the perfect amount of juices. It was topped with beans, shredded lettuce, tomato and cojita cheese. It's served with two fried tostada shells with a great crunch! The botana was served with shrimp, octopus abalone, and an oyster. The seafood was fresh without tasting fishy or having a gummy consistency. There were 3 sizes to choose from. This is a no-nonsense place with fast, friendly service and a chill vibe. They still serve complimentary chips and salsa and also have a decent beer selection. If you want delicious food without all the bells and whistles stop by Tampico and satisfy the craving! read more

I'm not from the area and thought I'd try something new while on my way home from Los Angeles. I ordered chilaquiles with no cheese and the egg cooked with the tortillas and they gave it to me on the side. I don't send food back and would have enjoyed it better, but overall I'm satisfied with flavor, spice and texture. I came during a slow time but filled up soon after. Restaurant is ran by a nice family and will return to try again. read more

Fast friendly service. If you want good quality Mexican food in delano this is the place to go. The chicken flautas are delicious. The burritos are really big and the aguachiles are bomb very spicy thought. Fried fish is also very tasty (ask for chilies toreados) The parking could be better. read more

Good foo, good environment. Prices are fair for the amount of food they give you. Excellent customer service always on top of things.

Food was great and service was good. One of my fav go to places for mexican food in delano.

My parents rave about the chile relleno burritos here and I accompanied them the other day but since I don't like chile rellenos I ordered a chicken sope. After waiting about 20 minutes for food in a relatively empty restaurant I received a beef sope. Not wanting to wait longer I just ate it. It was okay. The beef wasn't seasoned well and the sope was soggy. The beans and rice were also bland. I told my parents I don't think I would ever go back after that experience. And when we were done eating we had to ask the waitress for the check even though we were clearly done for a while. They have a very small parking lot but there is street parking. And on a positive note, their chips and salsa are excellent! And their only saving grace besides the chile relleno burritos I can't try. read more

Some of the best menudo around is served here. We've also tried the chile verde bean burritos, enchiladas, and tacos dorados (crunchy tacos). They were all very good. Never a bad experience here. Our take out orders are always prepared correctly, and they do provide good, friendly service. read more

My favorite taco joint anywhere around. I've been here many times for over a decade. It doesn't disappoint and continues to better itself. Of course the $ 0.50 tacos was ehat drove the traffic up high. Even at current 75 cents, it's a damn healthy good lunch. Paying only $ 3.20 includes bottomless restaurant made chips dipped in their saucy salsa + 4 double wrapped tacos snd lemon tipped ice water. Torta is also superb. Ask for avocado and you actually get slices, not those squirted baby puree other taquerias like to push. Parking is crampy but there's always streetside. Beer is served here. read more

Best torta al pastor ever!!! Speak both English and Spanish. You can dine inside or order to go. Their horchata comes from a machine, but it's still good. Their salsa is absolutely marvelous, but you gotta watch out cause it's a slow burn. I poured the whole canister on my torta, and about five seconds after finishing the spice kicked in and I couldn't get it to stop! Then I did it all over again the next time haha. Great place read more

I live in Arizona but every time I visit my family in California (Mcfarland) it's a must for me to go eat here or take out. My favorite "to go to" dish is their 7 Mares. It's absolutely delicious & to die for. It takes a little while to get my order but it's so well worth waiting for it because they make it fresh & when you order. They add shrimp, scallops, crab legs, mussels, fish & veggies! I highly recommend anyone to come eat here. Everything we have ordered has been amazingly delicious. read more

Best Mexican food in Delas! Yummy! try their tacos dorados and the people make you feel at home.

This place is so good. I got the super burrito with carnitas. It was huge. It has guac and sour cream. The carnitas were perfect. I can't wait to try other items on the menu. I will definitely go back because the staff is very nice. They have a taco special on Wednesday and Thursday. read more

It's a great choice for those needing something between, say, Fresno and Bakersfield (a dead zone). Extremely good service and a clean environment, along with really good chile verde, make this a perfect place to stop. Prices are reasonable, "on street parking" is plentiful, and it's not far off the freeway. Altogether, a teriffic place for lunch. read more

Quality of food was terrible. The food was so salty that it was inedible. The waitress was friendly. However the lady accepting payment, who i can only assume was the owner or manager, was unapologetic and rude. She did nothing to try to resolve the issue or take the uneaten food off of the bill. Poor customer service. Years ago, this was a very good spot, however the years have not been kind to this business. Needless to say, my family and i will not be returning. read more

The food has changed over the years. Definitely one of the most grossest places in Delano. Enchilada sauce tasted like tomato soup. The owners wife is so rude too. Never again will I come here. This place doesn't even Deserve 1 star read more

Great place for authentic Mexican food. The place doesn't have large tables but you can use several tables to seat a group. The tortas al pastor are good, the flautas de pollo are tasty and their green salsa make everything much more tasty. Their super burritos are also awesome, highly recommend them! Also a great restaurant for the family! read more

Place is way overhyped. Too bad I can't put half a star. You can get the same type of food at a much better quality, price, and cleaner setting in other places in this town. I'm supposed to write a paragraph long review just to have it posted, but I took the liberty of taking a picture that sums up my experience at this place. See for yourself.

Taqueria Tampico - Compliments of the chef, surprise. - Mexican Near Me - Delano, California

Food was mediocre. Prices average from $4-10. The prices for the tacos have gone up as they were once $0.75 to 99 cents each on Wednesdays and Thursdays; $1.99 on other days. Service was pretty sluggish, we waited nearly an hour for our food and there was only 3 other people at the restauruant. So.. it wasn't busy. There are other places that have better mexican food. Just sayin'. read more
