This is an absolutely fantastic family-run restaurant! They serve authentic Mexican food made fresh every day. The staff is friendly and professional, catering to both English and Spanish-speaking customers. I highly recommend the breakfast tacos! View all feedback.
What User doesn't like about El Taquito Cafe:
The breakfast was good but I was a little thrown back when the waiter went to ring me and wanted to charge me a dollar extra for asking for refried beans. He said it takes extra oil to refry the beans View all feedback.
Today el taquito cafe has good food, service, vibes enchilada combo plate. only one I must say the original el taquito cafe was back in the 90s
Order two kinds of burritos from this location, carne guisada and beef fajita. The carne guisada burrito recipe has changed since I started eating them 20+ years ago. They now come with bits of tomatoes which I’m not a fan of. I promptly discarded them when I discovered them in my burrito. That being said, this is hands down the best tasting carne guisada recipe I’ve had outside of my kitchen. I’ve been all over Texas and Arizona and nothing comes close. This is a must order when visiting this restaurant. I Their beef fajita burritos used to be a top notch as well. I ordered one and added avacado to it expecting greatness. Instead I got a subpar burrito which I ended up tossing after two bites. The fajita tasted like it was cooked too quickly. The meat was tough and tasted like perhaps someone had thrown a green pepper and onions at the last second for flavor. The avacado slices were not ripe i.e. harder than they should have been and tasted bland as a result. I’ll stick to ordering what they do best at this location. And I will he back.
Been coming here since I was a teenager. Although the owners have changed, the new owners have kept serving the same signature menu items that put this place on the Harlingen community map. Locals know..., out of towners come and see why locals love to eat here with Hugo and his wonderful family that put God first and it shows because everything else falls into place. My personal favorite and go to is the large Carne guisada taco with rice, beans, and cheese. Had a late breakfast thanks to El Taquito serving extended hours on breakfast late on Saturdays.
Best chips I’ve ever eaten! Made in house and spiced up... prices very reasonable. Bacon and potatoes over cooked and hard. Friendly staff. Recommend anything lunch
