El Taquate Mexican Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Always fresh tasty food coming from here. Authentic, nice staff. I get between the veggies Burrito, birria tacos, or chicken horrachi. And sometimes add a horchata drink. My go to Mexican place for about 5 years now
Delicious food; we ordered chilaquiles and tortas. Very big portions that are enough to share amongst 2 ppl. Friendly staff Small spot with limited seating Street parking, do not park in the back.
First time in AC and came across this gem, incredible service and the lengua tacos were the best I have had. They have a few tables but plan on take out or sidewalk eating as they are always packed!!! Don't miss out!!!
Fantastic food. Tons of options and vey authentic. Don't go for atmosphere though- mainly takeout
AMAZING!! So very tasty! We went to lunch here and got enchiladas, sopes and nachos. We will return.
Some of the best dang Tacos ; I've had in a looong time ..I had steak tacos ; three for fourteen dollars .They were flavorful and simple . Very hot and fresh . Another table (not that I was looking ) had a huge order of fajitas ...the smell almost made me salivate..they seemed very happy while eating .so the stars are for the FOOD ..now this is a very very small place . It's not for a date or anything ..too special ..not even a family dinner ..there are menus everywhere and pictures which clash together and hard to piece ..what you would want to order .Although decent enough for me to "bust down" my tacos ..it could perhaps been a little more tidy..nevertheless the friendliness and tacos made my wallet and stomach happy
I'm a VERY PICKY EATER when it comes down to Mexican food. And when I'm traveling outside from home in Southern California it's pretty hard finding a mexican restaurant that execute the standard that I enjoy. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible which a huge plus for me as a person with a spinal cord injury. I ordered the tacos of pastor & asada and was actually surprised by size of the tacos because they're a lot smaller back home, so you are getting a great portion of meat for your dollars. Both meats tasted amazing and they weren't greasy either! And their salsas for the tacos were ! They had great flavor and the right amount of spice! Even though I showed up at a busy time of the day (breakfast/ lunch) the service was on point! THIS PLACE IS LEGIT don't bother going anywhere else!
This is a small Mexican restaurant that seems to cater to take out business. There were a 5 tables and a few seats at a counter. We ate inside. The food was excellent especially the chicken enchilada mole. The service was very good. There isn't much ambiance but that's OK. It's more than made up for by the food.
