Taqueria El Guero
Mexican restaurant
🫤 Average food. While the food is not horrible the food is also not amazing. I ordered the nachos that came loaded with too much stuff on top and average beans.

I left hungry thinking that an order of nachos and a taco was going to fill me up. I would not recommend getting na...

Tonita's Mexican Food

👍👍 As a taco lover, this was a delight. Carne asada didn't have a ton of flavor but with the and the green sauce it was great. The chips were yummy, light and crispy. The BBQ adobado street taco was tasty. Loved eating on the patio overlooking the creek area and busy shopping area.

😠 Half way through my meal before I saw a dead fly in my rice. I cant imagine what others have found in their food. I threw the rest of my plate away. This is disgusting and unnesesaary. We ordered a big order from this place as it was our Friday work shift lunch break and it was totally ruined. Never...
