Ordered delivery because I was craving flautas. The presentation in the Togo boxes was nice but they were a little smaller than I expected, but they were delicious either way! I also ordered a tripas taco that was very tasty! And saw bunuelos on the menu and had to try since I normally just have my grandmas. These were crispy and delicious, definitely worth it!

The food was hella good! We got the California burrito, which is huge and wasn't disappointed with how packed the burrito was. The meaty fries were pretty fire also, it wasn't too salty. There weren't many people around the evening time so the service was pretty quick. Also like how you're able to order and sit inside, and also order outside to-go. Makes it convenient to order food. It feels like a spot you would go to late at night after seeing a movie or after the club lol. Would definitely come back.

The street tacos at this place are the best! I'm never disappointed with my order of carnitas tacos topped with onions and cilantro and salsa, with an added squeeze of lime. Service isn't the fastest, but the tacos are so good! They are generous with their toppings, including the meat. And they give you pickled veggies on the side for the full street taco experience. It's not glamorous food, but it's cheap and filling and always hits the spot.

When I'm stoked to eat the other half of my burrito for lunch the next day, I know this joint is a winner! Because of a mixup (errrrr, someone who shall remain nameless not listening to me), we went to all four El Grullense locations in RWC before hitting up the one my friends like best. I ordered for five at the walk up counter and we got our food pretty fast and it was all correct. My carne asada super burrito was huge, packed full of flavor and with the right ratios of everything. Delish! I love how you can order your enchiladas a la carte too. Just a fyi, they are on the smaller side because they use the corn tortillas.

Ordered the beef meaty fries with avocado! Fries were just ok, yet everything else was 5 stars. Serving size is pretty shareable between 2-3 ppl, very filling

This the spot if I ever want to grab some tacos for the low when I'm dolo or with the family. They go for $2.75 now, still pretty good compared to how much City prices has gone up by. City you'd expect to pay double the amount of what you pay here. Went with some al pastor, lengua and carne asada tacos. Size of the tacos are small, but packed with sabor. If you're a connoisseur of tacos, you'll definitely need to order 5+ to get full or satisfied. One thing is fasho, they don't skimp on the sauce, meat, and ingredients. Their red sauce packs some real heat so be ready for that. Service was fast with it and friendly, and this place gets packed out with people. Extra sauce does cost .25 so have quarters on you at hand. Tons of seating inside and outside. There are two places where you can order from. You can order from the line outside by the stools, or inside as well. They have a clean bathroom too. Whenever we are on this side of the Bay, I always hit up this spot. Food is good. 3.9/5 Definitely will recommend if you're looking for tacos on this side of the Bay.

I know they are known for their tacos but the meaty fries were so good! Every time I come to this place I get the fries and either the tacos or the burrito. The burrito and taco has a lot of meat and is delicious and worth the money for sure!

Came here for a last minute decision late dinner and was not disappointed. Quality of the food was pretty decent but the home run for me was the portion sizes. Burritos are massive forearm sized and priced reasonably around $13. Their drink sizes are also huge. Got a large horchata and it was sized like an XL Mcdonalds soda. Had leftovers to take home to last me another meal! Ordering is up-front and outside but there is a nice indoor area for seating. They also have their own parking lot but its a little small so a spot is not guaranteed.

Was here yesterday for a quick lunch. There's construction going on near the area, but they have a pretty decent parking space in front of the store. There are lots of seats both indoors and outdoor. It's an open space and the television only shows hispanic channels. It's not the newest restaurant but it's alright. Decent amount of selection of hispanic food. I was a little worried when I realized the reviews on food were very poor. But I had already ordered. Thankfully, it wasn't really as bad as they reviewed. I got their new item quesabirria, a meat bowl, and plantanita (plantains). Quesabiria would be 8/10. Really great meat and it wasn't too spicy at all. (I'm not a big fan of spicy food) The wrap was good, just a little oily. They give a hefty amount of the meat, so I liked that. Meat Bowl Salad 7/10. It's pretty stuffed and we had carnitas as the meat selection but the presentation was bad. The sauce was coming out on the sides and some parts of the bowl were a little soggy already. Plantains 9/10. Really good plantains! Served hot and not too sweet and not bland. Service time was pretty fast. But the servers and cashier lady was probably in a bad mood that day. They aren't too warm and welcoming.
