I grew up eating at El Tap. It’s nostalgic and tastes like home. Are there better taco shops/stands? Sure. But if you grew up in Glendale, few places fill that cheesy taco hole that only El Tap can.

Mom and pop restaurants are still #1 in my book. Great food big servings can't ask for more. If your in the area stop u won't regret it.

I've been accustomed to American Mexican restaurants that serve large portions, so I was a bit taken aback by the smaller, street-sized servings here. However, I wasn't disappointed, as the flavor more than compensates for the size. Regarding parking: there are only a few spots directly behind the restaurant, and street parking is limited. There is a small lot a short walk away, or you can conveniently park across the street at Walgreens if you don't mind bending the rules a bit.
