What User doesn't like about El Taco:
I'd put this place in the same category as Zambrero's, Guzman y Gomez etc (one step above Taco Bell, but still fast food)... And honestly, I prefer their food over El Taco. Nothing wrong with the burrito I had, but nothing particularly good about it either. My partner wasn't particularly impressed with his tacos. I'd say their food is slightly over priced for what it is... But still one of the cheaper options in town... View all feedback. What User likes about El Taco:
My chicken burrito was great, and super quick, maybe took 2 min or less. The best "not fast food" ever. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is lovely decorated. View all feedback.

Wet and tasteless. Avoid. Should have more crunch, fresh avocado and salsa. Would be better with some zest, ground beef and corn chips
