What Torin McFarland likes about El Taco:
delicious food, great prices, and easy, safe pickup amidst Corona. couldn't have been happier with our orders. pictured are grilled veggie tacos with El Super Macho sauce, Pollo adobo tacos with creamy Chipotle, and 2x beef empanadas View all feedback. What Armando Portela Valledor doesn't like about El Taco:
Way overpriced for a restaurant with no table service, pretty much a fast food. Ordered a full-size quesadilla and did not include guacamole, I had to pay an extra $4 for it, lol. Most Mexican restaurants include a scoop of guac with quesadillas. The food was good and tasty, but so are many in the city with more affordable prices. View all feedback.
