⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ El Tacoriendo – Columbus, OH Tacoriendo
Ever have a dinner plan fall through, only to find something even better by accident?
That’s exactly how I ended up here. My go-to Thai place was closed (my heart was set on pork belly fried rice), so I pivoted—and honestly, I’m glad I did.
This was only my second time at El Tacoriendo, and it was a 4/4 taco win.
I tried: 🌮 Asada – tender and smoky, almost buttery in a warm corn tortilla 🌮 Suadero – juicy and rich without being greasy 🌮 Cecina – salty-savory in the best way 🌮 Barbacoa – soft, shredded, and perfect with a squeeze of lime
Everything came loaded with fresh cilantro, onion, grilled onions, and crisp cucumber slices on the side. The green salsa was mellow, the red had a little kick, but honestly, the meat didn’t need any help.
Even after not eating all day, two tacos filled me up—these portions are no joke.
The menu has so many proteins you don’t see everywhere: beef tongue, tripe, buche, chorizo. After today, I’m open to trying all the unique ones next time. If you’re the adventurous type, this is your playground.
🚨 Outside the building looks like the kind of spot you'd second-guess after dark--like pulling up to a Linden carryout when the streetlights flicker--but trust me, If you judge a taco by the tortilla (and honestly, you should), this place is worth checking out.
Inside feels relaxed and colorful—painted chairs, bright walls, and no pressure. You’re just here to eat good food.
I’d bring y’all with me if I could—because this is the kind of spot that’s easy to love.

🌮 5/5 – Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe a little curious about what you’ll order next.

This was my first visit. I ordered the Cubana Torta, Large Guacamole, and the Grilled Chicken Fajitas De Pollo. Both were amazing. Unlike some Tortas I've had recently where it seemed thrown together, this one was constructed with love. You can tell by the depth of flavors and how each ingredient in the Torta presented itself both individually and as part of the flavor explosion one expects with a Torta.
My wife loved the Fajitas. She said it's some of the best Fajitas she's had in awhile. That's high praise she does not give often.
I will be going back. I didn't know they had indoor dining until I went inside to place my carryout order. I will be back!
Please be patient as it takes time to cook the meal. My wait was more than worth it (less than 10 minutes). 5 stars

I really use to love this restaurant. It seems like it’s under a new management from a year ago or something. The food just isn’t that same. I hope they pay attention to the reviews and make the necessary changes.

A coworker suggested this place bc I love Mexican food but I got food poisoning from this restaurant. I knew I couldn’t be the only one so I checked the reviews and there’s some who had food poisoning. The food & service were good I honestly don’t think it was the tacos but I got a side of pico de gallo, maybe they left it sitting out idk but never again I thought that was my last day on earth.
For the door dash orders and Grubhub please have a secure closing of the bag, the bag should not be open stable these customers bags that’s the only right thing to do

I got food poisoning from this place. My husband and I have frequented this restaurant a few times and their food never seems fresh or hot, but my husband likes it so we have continued to go back. Tonight was my last time, I ordered a burrito and from the moment they brought it to the table I could smell that something on it was spoiled, it was also extremely cold. When I complained to the waitress she acted as if she couldn’t understand what I was saying. My husband got frustrated with her acting like she didn’t understand, we paid the bill and left. Definitely never returning to this restaurant again!
Great, Fresh, and Professional services
