About

El Taquito is a vibrant spot on E Riverside Drive, beloved for its authentic Mexican street tacos. With a laid-back, cozy atmosphere, it invites groups, tourists, and university students alike to indulge in delicious comfort food without breaking the bank. Diners can enjoy quick bites or linger over margaritas de mango and tamarindo that are simply stellar. While the ordering process may feel a bit unconventional—self-service screens and some tables needing a wipe—the mouthwatering flavors and speedy service make it more than worth the visit.
