This is the OG place and it's all the best food. It's sooo tasty. It was so good and I was so excited to get to have it I mowed it down and forgot to take pics. I had a sloppy Joe combo and we shared a red sauce quesadilla and washed it down with a piña colada bang! Perfectly satisfying.

Green burritos are not what they once were. My four biggest observations:
1. The burritos hot tiny. They used to be about twice as big
2. The green salsa was not very spicy. It was green lava before
3. Still no restrooms for customers. Even though the place looks renovated… but didn't think to add a restroom? Bad move.
4. The older lady taking orders either had an attitude, felt she was doing you a favor by simply being there, or just plain needs to learn good customer service skills. The younger girl preparing the orders saved my visit by communicating like a normal person (older lady barely acknowledged me).

Food is great feels very fresh.
I have no complaints with this place. Except for the employees always look at you a certain way when you ask for extra salsa like, come on, it's just salsa. I get that every penny. Adds up but Jesus its just salsa

Been driving 15+ miles after moving away from Downey to go get eats here. Food has remained consistently good since my first visits as a young child 30 years ago.

I grew up eating at el taco many fond memories with family here. I come here as often as I can . If you come here you will not be disappointed in the food ,and for the prices of the day its still a good value here.
