    BEST TACOS I'VE HAD IN THIS COUNTRY. I live 2 hours away, but I'd drive back just for these tacos. The tortilla makes all the difference. They taste like a courser ground maize so they are slightly nuttier and taste so fresh. The salsas had very good flavor. They didn't just blast me with mouth numbing heat, they actually tasted good. My husband REALLY enjoyed his torta. So flavorful. The nachos are huge!

    The food is really good but the cashier is always rude and when they run out of something the cashier let you know with attitude as if was your fault (been there twice and both times the cashier was in a bad mood and not friendly at all) I'd rather go to their food truck than go back to the restaurant.

    Meat isn’t cooked well they gave me raw meat in my burrito and brought this to their attention and they literally did nothing

  • 2/5 Ryan J. 2 years ago on Google
    Guy on the phone told me to come in 5 minutes when I ordered, at 4:22 and they gave me the tacos at 5:10. I finished eating the tacos in 5 minutes. They were good tacos but not worth the wait. 6-8 people received their food before me despite ordering after me.

    No other customers inside and it took 20 minutes for a drink and nachos. Food was ok. Should be cleaner inside. Disappointed this time around.

    I have had El Grullense food for years now, but this was my first time eating at their restaurant. It took about 44 minutes to get our food and the order was partially wrong. The food was expensive too. Each taco was $3 and $3.50. The food was good, but not enough for me to justify coming back. I may still try a food truck, but not the restaurant.

👍 The food is delicious, it is an "outdoor" sitting. The wait is between 15 to 20 minutes that are totally worth it. I went on Friday July 15 it was at first full, but then it was not crowed at 3pm. I would put 5 stars if they could installed something for the bugs (flies). I do recommend this pla...
