    I had heard that this restaurant had great Mexican food, so I decided to try it. It took me awhile to try the food. The first time I visited, it was closed because I wasn't aware of their hours. The second time, they were closed due a maintenance issue. The third time was worth the wait. The guacamole was spicy, freshly made and delicious. The tortilla soup had good flavor. My milanesa torta, not pictured, because it too damn good for me to remember to take a picture. My mother loved her tacos. Service was great and everyone was friendly. I will be back.

    Aloha... this is my 4th Mexican food place while in this area and now it's my favorite. Little whole in da wall that has some of the best tacos, torttas , burritos and so much more. The warm chips with guacamole is complimentary and so delicious you will want to keep on eating them. The staff is also so amazing and friendly you gotta stop by.

    This place is awesome. Real Mexican food if you ever pass by, don't you dare to miss the Barbacoa gordita. It was so tasty 😋 , what I loved the most is that you don't get those massive portions that you are used to. It's a decent portion of what you ask for. The salsa is the best 👌🏻

    Place is good. They cook pretty good food and overall recommend if you feel like having good Mexican food. Be careful with how they charge you,though. Went this week and the cashier either messed up thought it would be easy to take advantage and charge me more. Paid over $30 + tip for just two people!!!! it’s not the first time they’ve done this. And it’s pretty unfair that they treat their customers this way. So watch out or your money, seams like they like to take advantage of their customers. :/

    Wow! Some of the best guac I’ve ever had. Service was excellent, super fast, and the food was perfect! Super inexpensive too. You’d spend more at McDonalds on a meal.

    I visited El Taquito while driving across America (Tampa to LA and back) trying to find the best restaurants. And they definitely didn’t disappoint. The chicharrones Gordita is a must. The melon drink kept me going on the drive all the way to San Diego.

    Really good Mexican food although I was burping spices all day. I had the Santa Fe tacos which were excellent, my son had the Verde plate which was nice and spicy. Also got their Barbaraco burrito for my dog which was good he liked it.

    Service was great. Food came out super fast. Flavors were very good from the meats to the beans to the sauces. I really loved the flavor of the green sauce. I also appreciated seeing the cooks thoroughly cleaning the area between cooking different items.

  • 5/5 Bhaskar S. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered a milanesa steak, came with salad, french fries, avocado, tortillas, rice and beans. It was too much food to fit in one plate. All for $8.66 including tax. Great food and price. They have been around since 1904, over 100 years.

    Soup was not that good. The takitos were extremely dry. ?

  • 5/5 Kapilan T. 2 years ago on Google
    We got to know about this place through an Enterprise representative just down the street. Everything here is fresh or homemade, and everything tasted much better than most Mexican food that I've had in Houston. The portion sizes was really big and the prices were really affordable. Our waiter took his time to understand our needs and even suggest things that we might like, which was awesome! This is a great casual place and I highly recommend that you check them out.

  • 5/5 Jeremy H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is worth all the five stars it gets. The food is fresh and homemade. The prices are great. They are friendly here. Try the lunch combo meals with the soup and choice of entree.

  • 5/5 Quengvslife 2 years ago on Google
    Landed in El Paso and drove straight away to El Taquito for breakfast. The taquitos here really live up to the hype and come out extremely fresh and crispy. The tortilla soup isn’t anything to write home about, but does the job. The real star of the show however is the melon juice and horchata that the offer! DO NOT leave without first trying one of these. They were so good that we had to get a 2nd cup to go!

  • 4/5 t b. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent service. Best flauta I have ever had. It's nice they make the food in plain view so you know how things are being prepared.

  • 4/5 Jose O. 1 year ago on Google
    Known for the flautas. Its been more then 12+ years since I've been here. As far as i remember they used to be better. Served with soured cream on top and a bunch of avocados. Now they give you the stuff to fix it yourself. Taste good but wish they tasted like before.

  • 5/5 John G. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mason L. 5 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Melinda R. 4 months ago on Google
    This place has no frills but it’s legit! Their food was fresh and delicious. We had the flautas and gorditas and they were so tasty. We also had fresh lemonade and guacamole. The guacamole came out with homemade tortilla chips. And the salsas had some heat! Overall the food and service were amazing!

  • 5/5 El Tigre O. 3 years ago on Google
    To a true Barbacoa lover we know that it’s hard to get this right all the time. And personally I judge a restaurant on how good the barbacoa taste. Well this place has found the magic! Food taste delicious! I finally found a place where my kids ate everything and asked for seconds. Thank you mi Taquito for making real Mexican food rico in a city where Mexican food is good already as it is you stand out.

  • 5/5 Juan H. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good food. I recommend the SantaFe tacos. A little hidden but well worth the effort. I've known the owner for year and same hard work and it still shows in the food quality.

  • 5/5 Marisol C. 3 years ago on Google
    The best desherbada tacos I’ve ever tried.

  • 5/5 Mitchell M. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent Mexican food restaurant. We started with the chips and guacamole (with everything). The guacamole was made when ordered and the chips came out hot. I had the verde plate which was excellent. My favorite were the pastor tacos. They came with four on a plate with a side of onions and cilantro and a lime. Some of the best pastor tacos I have had to date. Will go again.

  • 1/5 Suzie S. 3 years ago on Google
    I would like to give this establishment 0 stars,but it does not allow. I tried to order takeout, but the phone was not answered(was this an omen?) From 2:45pm today until 3:20pm (they close at 4pm)they did not answer phone,it just kept ringing and ringing. Is this how a business is supposed to be run? Imagine how much business they lost....including mine.

  • 5/5 Bob N. 5 years ago on Google
    They don't ruin your appetite with chips. They don't make you wait long for your meal. The food is so darned good, you realize you would have been willing to wait longer, though you're glad you didn't have to.
