El Atacor Reviews
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. It does not look like much at first, I was skeptical, but boy was I surprised and impressed by this small business owner and her crew.
The food was absolutely amazing, service was solid. I love being blown away by small business owners like her who take pride in every detail.
Food was delicious.
Best tacos the papa I’ve ever had!!!! Small place but really good, can’t give it a 5 star only because the bathrooms are a little gross

El Atacor is a popular late-night spot, known for its typical taco shop fare and competitive prices. The menu offers a variety of options, including the signature nachos and champorado. The service is usually good, with friendly staff and efficient cooks. The atmosphere can get lively, especially on weekends, attracting a diverse crowd. Despite some quirks, such as the lack of a salsa bar and extra charge for tortilla chips, El Atacor is a welcoming and fun establishment with a touch of eccentricity. Recent reviews praise the delicious food, particularly the Birria soup and Carne Asada burrito, as well as the use of non-Styrofoam to-go containers. While there were reports of pricing inconsistencies in the past, the restaurant seems to have addressed those issues and is now providing a more consistent and enjoyable dining experience.
