The food and services were great. The carne asada was fire and super soft. The sour cream is good. Deserts are fire as well.

I would recommend the Fullerton and Drake location. I have ordered from this location several times and their food is delicious. My favorite dish to order from here is their quesabirria tacos (they are so good!).

My boyfriend could go on and on about he used to come here blackout wasted and pig out on a giant torta. This would always be on his way home from the city, so it was really convenient for him. I experienced drunk eating at El Taconazo a couple years ago and I loved it. We decided to stop by again on a Friday around midnight. There were a couple people dining in, but mostly many to-go orders. When you walk in, the cashier asks whether you're dining in or taking out. We chose to dine-in. You choose any seat you'd like and a waitress gives you a menu filled with pictures and item names, but no prices--you can refer to their menu board for prices. While deciding, they give you a tiny carousel of 4 different salsas/sauces (quite spicy), limes, a white sauce, and an avocado green salsa in a mortar. They also give you fried tortilla rounds to break and dip in the salsas. This might be my favorite part about El Taconazo. We ordered 2 carne asada burritos and they literally arrived within 2 minutes. I love that their burritos come with everything...plus avocado! For $7, that's totally worth it. Everything was cooked to perfection and the carne asada was so delicious!!! The burrito was even better with their salsa/sauces. They even let us take some home! Our bill came out to about $16. If you're in the area, I would m definitely try it out. It is SO delicious--it might be my new favorite Mexican spot! Plus, the waitresses are all SO nice and super accommodating. P.S. They also have a TV with live surveillance footage of your cars, inside the restaurant, and outside the restaurant.
