Me and my friend went there tonight after a long day and it was absolutely delicious, unique, and wholesome real food. 100% Mexican authentic food. The atmosphere was incredible and the music was uplifting. The service was exceptional. We will definitely be back.

The food was fantastic! Everything tasted so fresh & delicious! We really enjoyed having the fresh made nachos chips with a selection of four different sauces & a pico de gallo salsa brought to us when we got our menus. We are so glad that we tried El Super Taco for lunch today & we will definitely be back soon!! 😍🌮

The food is always great. It is fresh, and the restaurant is so clean. I have only been for lunch a couple times but the service is great too. I’ve eaten at the Mexican restaurant downtown and had food poisoning from bad pico. More than once! El Taco is fantastic.

Had to try it after seeing the rating. If you like to mix things up and feel like you are down in your bungalow in a small Mexican town then they have all the flavors of that. We only tried a few dishes and it was on point. The chips and salsas were a classic starter. Exactly what you would get. And so many great choices in the mains. Our dish was beef and pork Tortas. The bun alone was great perfect meat and yeah I threw the table salsa on it for that hit. It's funny to pay for an imported Pacifico I wanted the flavor. So it's not in pesos. Don't be cheap. Just go and enjoy. The place is perfect! All my friends in the hat, stop by have a Mexican coke and some tacos for lunch. And you can practice your Mexican instead of just Duolingo. The soup will be next time. Cheers and enjoy!

If I could give more stars, I absolutely would! The service was far above the norm as they checked on you often without being intrusive. The food was exceptionally good, fresh and hot, and authentic, and the atmosphere was really nice, too. So you find your table and immediately are brought these incredible, fresh, and warm chips and several authentic dipping sauces. Caution! If you are spicy enough, like me, then dip a tiny corner of one of the chips in first before trying them because they are spicy and even more Caution for the one in the middle with the lid. That one should come with a little fire truck. 😊 But if you are someone who enjoys spicy dips and food, then you will be in Heaven. Just like my Mom. ☺️ I had the chicken Fajita, which were so good and generous, and my Mom had the fish tacos, which she said were to die for. The fish was crispy, and the little soft tacos were warm and yummy. (Sorry, my phone died. So, no photos) Again, the server came around and asked if I wanted more chips. Of course, I didn't know you could have MORE of those delicious chips, and if I wanted more tortillas too. We will definitely be returning and trying something else on the menu! Thank you for a Wonderful first impression and visit! 💝

Complimentary salsa tasting to start with 4 very good and unique salsas. I ordered the steak fajitas which were enough for at least 2 people! The dish was missing the fresh avocado that was listed on the menu. The environment was warm & colourful, and the food came out very quickly. However, once served the waitress did not check back in. Overall I would definitely return! Authentic and delicious food.

The delicious, hand made tortilla chips, called totopos, and astounding alsada salsa, came free to my table, before I even picked up the menu! The meal that came after was out of this world, especially the tortas barbacoa, which turned out to be a soft, aromatic hand made sandwich stuffed to bursting with slow roasted beef! Worth every penny!

Drove by this place so many times and went in today. We waited waaaaay to long to try this. Food was absolutely delicious. Tons of flavour, big portions. Was also pleasantly surprised with free chips and salsa! 4 salsas to be precise. Ive been to Mexico many times and this place has an authentic feel as does the food. If youre looking for good Mexican food. This is the one. Also have to note the service was perfect.

Ordered delivery , beef enchiladas. Tortillas were stale the beef was dry and mushy. Not enough enchilada sauce and no sour cream. Bland flavor as well.

★★★
April 22, 2024

Meh. Food was ok, but pretty bland. We had to use the salsa from the free appetizer to spice up our fish tacos. It was also disappointing they didnt offer green salsa for enchiladas and tamales. Main dishes also did not include a side of rice or beans which is typically standard in a Mexican restaurant. We will pass next time and go to another local restaurant for better tacos.

Took my girlfriend here based on many glowing recommendations, and I must say, it delivered!! Had the tortilla soup, Nortèno entre, barbacoa/shrimp/pastor tacos! The chips and salsa to snack on while waiting for our meal was a nice treat, too! I havent been to the Mexican regions where this cuisine is dominant, but I dare say it was as authentic as authentic could get. From the atmosphere, music, decor, overall experience...10/10. Also! The owner was beyond courteous going above an beyond ri ensure our first time was memorable/enjoyable. We will ABSOLUTELY be back!

Very delicious Mexican food. friendly staff. You won t be disappointed if you come eat here..

December 22, 2023

Honestly, we had high hopes for this place. But won t be returning. Bad service, no music, the booth we sat In wasn t swept and had a used cup under the table. I had to read in the comments that there s a salsa bar? Which the waitress never mentioned to us. The menu doesn t say $25 for 6 taco s just says taco s. The waitress didn t want to tell us what drinks they had and had us walk over to see the selection. Why is this not on the menu? She didn t even check on us to see if we needed anything after we got our food, just came over to say we had to get our bill up at the front. We saw her just playing on her cell phone behind the counter the entire time. My fiancé couldn t even eat the food we ordered, the meat looked like dog food with cheese on it. Seriously $25 for a plate of meat with cheese and 6 taco shell s. No lettuce, veggies, sour cream nothing. Just very plain and disappointing. I love Mexican food but I ve honestly had better food at mucho burrito. I just don t find I got my moneys worth. She didn t even tell us how much the drinks cost. We couldn t wait to leave.

If human grade dog food, poor service and dull atmosphere are you thing, this is the place for you. Fish tacos looked like they came from the clearance section at Walmart. The chicken fajitas looked like top quality dog food with some seasoning for good measure. We complained about it, they didn t care. We will not be going back or recommending this place to anyone. Pathetic excuse for a Mexican restaurant imo.

Great little out of the way spot. Nice atmosphere, good food and good prices. We went around 7pm on a Saturday night for a quick bite. The place was packed which was, we thought, a good sign. Unfortunately, that meant that the two staff and (I presume) one cook were overwhelmed with orders. We grabbed the only table that wasnt piled with plates from departed groups and waited to place our orders. Eventually the server came around and was very apologetic. Several tables departed after waiting awhile for their orders. Our food eventually arrived and it was good. Enchiladas were tasty and a good portion size. Barbacoa burrito was a little under-seasoned, but the addition of tableside condiments remedied that. Overall, as a table of two, we were satisfied with our meal and totally empathized with the overworked servers. They gradually caught up as we were finishing our meals, and returned the cluttered tables to a more customer friendly condition. Would definitely give this place another try, maybe not on a busy Saturday night, but overall worth checking out.
