“My husband and I arrived at Taco and Tamale Co in the Heights as we were scouting for places to eat and ended up sitting at the bar for amazing service. The restaurant was packed, yet we still received excellent service. We placed a to go order for our main course food and had cheese dip and chips during the wait. Very nice environment. Friendly people. The food was delicious. I had the 12 tamale meal. I will definately be back. I'm so glad we discovered this place.“

“The food and service were fantastic! Everything was fresh and served quickly. The only issue we had was the wrong food was served to my granddaughter, but they rectified that quickly and provided her a fresh plate. The manager came out and apologized and gave us coupons for free queso on our next visit. Sometimes mistakes happen, and that's okay. What's important is how the mistake is handled and I think they did an excellent job!“

“Always good...i always get the chicken or steak burrito...huge, fresh and tasty. Real food.Update: Seems more expensive...however, I am a bit broker... maybe that's it, I'm just broke.$13 burrito. It's large fresh & great...but I can get great indoor restaurants for that level of price.“

“First time coming but enjoyed. Staff was very helpful helping me figure out what I wanted.“

“I ordered my steak carbon & small cheese dip. it arrived in until 10 minutes. it was hot & delicious. I couldn't finish the plate“

“great food, friendly service“

“This is exactly the kind of local hole-in-the-wall that makes you feel lucky (and completely satisfied) when you find it! The food is tasty, the portions won't leave you hungry, and the prices are MORE than fair. My husband ordered the Chimichanga while I had the Ranchero Especial - which we both absolutely devoured.
~ It's casual Mexican comfort food, and it's delicious. Music played in the background only added to the ambience.
I've read some reviews complaining about prices, and I can confidently say the menus ARE updated, so no worries.
I absolutely recommend El Torito, if you're looking for an authentic, low-key experience. ♥️“

“This is where I met barbacoa and we fell in love. I am so lucky Taqueria Guadalupana is close to home and work.“

“Hidden Gem with Amazing Mexican Food

We stumbled upon this little hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant and were pleasantly surprised! The food was fantastic—authentic, flavorful, and well-prepared. We had the steak fajitas and a chimichanga, and both were cooked perfectly. The fajitas were sizzling hot with tender, well-seasoned steak, and the chimichanga was crispy on the outside and packed with delicious fillings.

Despite it being a Friday night, it wasn’t overly busy, which made for a nice, relaxed dining experience. It’s one of the only places in the area with sit-down seating, so it’s a great option if you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a meal. Service was friendly and efficient, and the prices were reasonable for the quality of food. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!“

“Cozy and nice environment“

“Food was absolutely delicious. Service was wonderful!!“

“This place is a hidden gem ? I ordered the birria tacos and they were absolutely phenomenal, the consommé was rich and had the perfect flavor and the tacos were loaded with juicy beef and mozzarella, highly recommend this place and will be back again soon :))“

“for me it was just right. freshly cooked perfectly to the "T" the host explained everything ie: charges for to go container and so on. I'm not sure I understand it correctly but I can always confirm when I order. I had the chicken fajita chimichanga. Friendly.“

“Its not the place I would go get dinner, but if you want something really tasty for lunch or something to hold you over til dinner. They have everything you could possibly want and more. The nachos FANTASTIC, the Philly cheese steak OFF THE CHAIN, the street corn is a MUST as a side for any order ?“
