Tacos are really good! Didn’t really care for the red enchiladas but the green sauce was good. We’ve dined in and order take out, service is always friendly and prompt. Overall a nice place with good vibes.

Save your money and go somewhere else. I went to El Taquito and the food was very disappointing. The tortillas are reheated in a microwave, which takes away from any authentic flavor. The menudo was watery, bland, and had very little meat — mostly just maiz. On top of that, the cilantro and onion were served in tiny portions, and they even charge extra for the toppings.
The whole experience felt watered down and unauthentic, almost like a “no sabo” version of real Mexican food. To make things worse, they only give two tortillas with your order, and if you want more, they charge $1.35 for just two tortillas.
Overall, absolutely unsatisfying. Definitely not worth the price or the hype.

We were so excited to try this place but it was just okay…. Taste like all store bought ingredients (tortillas, chips, rice, beans, queso etc.) the atmosphere was cool though. Our server was very nice though!

The service is great. The food is awesome and it's dog friendly
Someone tried to reinvent the classic Mexican restaurant and failed, it's a hipster mess, the menu is dumb and unnecessarily wacky trying to be like some hipster bar in Austin, just make good Mexican food and turn the music down, feels like I have to yell to communicate with the people at my table and when everyone is having to yell to communicate it only makes it louder, the staff was great and food was alright but atmosphere is wack menu is wack, probably won't return

El Taquito is my favorite Mexican restaurant by far. Their taste is unique and stands out ☺️ No matter how many Mexican restaurants I try, this one is superior and I always come back

You can’t up your prices and decrease your portions. It doesn’t make sense. Atmosphere is always 1 of 1! And so is staff.

The restaurant is very clean, and decorated nicely. The breakfast is pretty good! I had the chorizo and egg plate with potatoes and refried beans.
***Review update*** Hands down the best el pastor in the area! Order by the pound and it comes with rice, beans, tortillas and all the fixings. Order and pick is super easy.
