About El Vulcan

El Vulcan is a simple taqueria that offers tacos with good flavor, but the service regarding sauce and additional toppings can be limited. The tacos come in a good size with five steak tacos in an order, although the meat can sometimes be dry and overcooked, and the tortillas may break easily. The restaurant has a very humble, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, run by friendly tias, and is located in a remote spot that gives a feeling of being in a small Mexico town. The smell of chargrilled meat welcomes visitors and adds to the authentic experience. The menu is straightforward, including tacos, dressed papas, burgers, and other essentials, with fresh, non-greasy corn tortillas that are quite good. The beans are highly praised for their delicious taste, especially beans a la charra, and the pico de Gallo with chips is a favorite for many. Drinks, including Jumex and lemon beverage, are offered, but some reviews mention expired juices that should be reviewed by the staff. The service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy with just a few tables. While the meat on tacos like bistek and mollejas is chopped finely and prepared with care, some reviewers found the flavor lacking smoky seasoning, and the potatoes tasted like water, which was unexpected. The green and red salsas are decent but could be improved. Prices are reasonable, though extra toppings like avocado and cheese can be costly. Overall, El Vulcan remains a beloved spot for those seeking authentic, flavorful tacos and a warm, unpretentious environment.
