El Taco Shop

Great place for authentic Mexican! Counter service and quick. Simple menu with plenty of choices! Smothered burrito, Tacos, quesadillas, sandwiches, and desserts are all exceptional!

I have not personally eaten here. I do know they are an authentic mexican place, I am not big on mexican food, but my hubby loves it here! I will say their Horchata is to DIE for!!! I always go here to get me a big ole drink of it. I am addicted! It's so sweet and soothing!

I've been hearing about this place for awhile now and finally got a chance to check it out. It was definitely worth it! The food is so fresh and perfectly made. Delicious everything. Just a small place so not much dining area, so don't go there with a big crowd.

Food is excellent. Good, friendly service. Maybe a little pricey but what isn't these days

Excellent food. Had Deluxe Nachos today and they were loaded.

I ate here for the first time today. My meal was delicious. I had the mini taco plate. It came with rice and beans and 5 tacos with your choice of filling. I got ground beef and cracklings in green sauce for my filling. I loved them. This place it great!
Edit: I just ate here again. My food was just as good as the first time. I ordered horchata to drink. It was a huge cup of sweet creamy horchata. I also had birria tacos. It came with tacos and cup of broth. It was delicious. I also had the birria ramen. It came with a big bowl of soup with plenty of meat in it. It came with 2 tacos. Everything is delicious.

Some of the best tacos I've eaten. Fresh with amazing flavor!!! This is the real deal and cannot wait to try some of the other items on the menu. Try the chipotle chicken tacos.

Best Mexican food ever! Got carnitas tacos all the way and they were the best tacos I’ve ever had!

Casual and cozy authentic Mexican restaurant with friendly staff and great tasting food. The corn tortillas are so soft and the house red and green salsas are just right. There is many options on the menu and fresh Aguas. You can also call orders in ahead and take to-go.

Wonderful food... Very large proportions.

Great food, great service. Love coming here. Birria is delicious!

Cheap and absolutely delicious.

The burrito California with shredded beef is my favorite item on the menu! It comes topped with hot queso which is awesome

This is one of our favorites for quick, affordable Mexican. We always get the street tacos and the pollo asada and carne asada are delicious. The horchata is also great! The restaurant is super small and not great for dining in though so we generally just get the food to go.

My favorite taco place!! Birra Tacos on Friday!

I normally don't review places, but this is a MUST!
So far, the BEST Birria Tacos and Birria Ramen throughout the area (Hickory,Statesville,CLT, and surrounding areas)

The only thing that sucks is: the Birria Ramen and Tacos is only available on Fridays.

Last but not least!
The Chicarron (Rojo or Verde) is the best street taco I've ever ate!

Im Hmong and I know my flavors. Ive ate at many many many hispanic restaurants, but none compares to this Chicharron Rojo Tacos.
Trust me, yall know they live and die by their salsas and sauce they add onto their foods, this Chicharron is amazing!

Chicharron is pork fat, wished they had pork belly.

If you eat spicy papaya, this is for you!
They even have a spicier chili sauce you can add on, and I promise you, its equivalent to like 20+ hmong peppers on papaya!

Also, it's worth the price.
For 13.99, you get a bowl of Birria Ramen and 2 Birria tacos.

Another is 13.99, you get 4 Birria Tacos.
Whichever you choose, you won't be disappointed!

Legit Mexican food. Friendly staff. Good prices. Never been disappointed 👍👍

Horchata is amazing, sopes and the corn dough filled Gorditas makes this a 5 star

Pretty sweet.
The joint is great.
Service is great.
People are great.
Not my favorite flavors but absolutely banging.

Had 3 awesome tacos! Went with the steak all the way and wasn't let down.

This is the BEST place for tacos! I ordered 3 shrimp tacos on corn tortillas, all the way, with a side of beans and rice. My husband ordered a bean, ground beef, and cheese burrito. The food is nothing short of amazing! There was so much flavor, especially with the little cups of green and red sauce they give you. My order was about $25 for my husband and I, and it was worth every penny!! We will continue to eat from here in the future!
