What David Chang likes about El Paisa Taqueria:
Best tacos in town, by far. The food is amazing and fresh, just be aware that they are cash only. I had 6 tacos and felt really full, probably could have been good with just 4. But they're so cheap you might as well get more. The melon aqua fresca was to die for. So delicious. View all feedback. What Adam Hunsinger doesn't like about El Paisa Taqueria:
Al pastor tacos were awesome! Carne asada quesadilla meat was not good. Cob webs hanging from ceiling. Limes were dried out. 3 Salsas were okay. 25 minutes to make food. View all feedback.
