El Taco - Downey

This has been a family tradition for years! Whenever we’re in the area, we make sure to stop here for a delicious Mexican meal. If you love melty cheesy dishes, you absolutely cannot miss the 'Red Quesadilla.' It’s more like a cheesy burrito, filled with perfectly melted cheese, red sauce, and wrapped in a flour tortilla. The egg and potato burritos are tasty, and our son is a big fan of the taquitos. The tacos are delicious as well—honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! I know of two locations, and both offer equally amazing food.

This has been one of my favorite places since I discovered it in 1980. The quesadilla with red sauce is the best, and I'm also a big fan of the shell tacos. It's a great spot for a casual date, with reasonable prices. Delicious!

Every time I return to LA, visiting this restaurant feels like a cherished tradition. The food is outstanding, the prices are reasonable, and you simply can't go wrong with their quesadilla topped with red sauce. They use real cheese, unlike the imitation stuff you often find at other fast-food Mexican restaurants.

This is one of my favorite fast-casual Mexican spots. If you're craving a delicious burrito or nachos, definitely check out El Taco. They offer a diverse menu and even have a drive-thru for those on the go.

My all-time favorite restaurant! If I could choose my last meal, it would be chicken flautas and a red quesadilla. I've been coming here regularly for over 25 years, and I’ve never had a bad experience. The fries are amazing, and I highly recommend trying the bun taco (also known as a sloppy Jose). There are other El Taco locations, but none compare to the consistent quality of the Firestone location. El Taco, I love you!
