Unfortunately this is the last time I will be here as I am moving out of state. I look forward to visiting El Taquito every year when I do SkillsUSA.

Being coming to El Taquito very frequently! I love their taquitos supreme plate and my wife enjoys their enchiladas. I’m Hispanic, and I tend to be very picky with mexican fast food joints. But this place doesn’t disappoint! Seating is outdoors only and your food is packaged for take out all the time, which isn’t bad. It gives you the choice to eat there or take it home. You order through a small window, so speak loud n clear. The restroom though, let’s just say that if you have claustrophobia, go somewhere else with a better one. Lol.

I love the Colton Fire Burrito, with the chile relleno and chunks of pork in green salsa. It's an old school set up, with outside dining, and it's always busy. That's why I gave it the 4 stars. The only thing this place needs is an upgraded location, in my opinion. Otherwise, it is all good.

I am a huge fan of Chile Verde burritos. This restaurant did not disappoint. Always busy, which means one thing.

Tried the taco salad for the first time. It was good. We haven’t found anything we don’t like. Let Tony know Franky recommended El Taquito
