I typically do take out from this location of either chicken or ground beef tacos. The staff is efficient & friendly, the order is always ready when I arrive with no issues or mistakes, and the food is overall great: good sized portions for the price and a good balance of veggies and meat in each taco.

Best Mexican food I’ve had in Philly btw! Cross posting because this el taco deserves just as much if not more praise than the other location. Although smaller, this el taco is my go to as they’re usually more consistent with remembering everything in our order. But even if they forget anything, el taco is never a disappointment. Portion sizes are great seasoning is amazing always fresh always hot always on time. My wife and I order here all the time, and our baby cat gets...

When I tell you, EL TACO is absolutely AMAZING! 🌮 My partner and I come here all the time, and every single visit is outstanding. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made you can really taste the love they put into it. On top of that, the customer service is just as awesome as the food. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home.

This is hands-down one of our favorite spots, and we’ll definitely keep coming back again...
