El Taco Real Reviews
This place is a has been. For many years the line waiting to be seated was long with an hour wait being common. The staff was always courteous and efficient.Food was great.

El Taco Real offers very good Mexican food, known for its homemade salsa. The restaurant is kid-friendly and conveniently located near a courthouse and police station. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with retro decor featuring original tile. Service is quick and attentive, creating a family vibe that customers appreciate. The premises are very clean, and the staff is welcoming, ensuring that condiment bottles are always tidy. Some menu items, like the salsa, may not meet all expectations, but many dishes shine. The "queso fundidio con chorizo" is awesome, and the "queso and jalapenos" come at an extra cost but are worth it. The main course "Con carne chili" is highly recommended, and the chile relleno stuffed with cheese is good. With almost 50 years in business, El Taco Real remains a popular choice, drawing families who are willing to wait in line for a taste of authentic Mexican food.
