    Being from Texas, I feel I am authorized to speak on tex-mex. There is something to be said for a greasy spoon. Now the owners of El Taquito Cafe might take offense at that description but I mean well. This place serves up honest-to-goodness tex-mex and the service is outstanding. While El Taquito might lack some of the bells and whistles of finer dining establishments, they make up for in quality of the food for not too much scratch.I had the Mexican Dinner and it was delicious and I got full for under 10. before tip.Bring cash though because they don't take credit cards. Do yourself a favor, partner and eat at El Taquito Cafe. Muy sabor, pequeno dinero.

    Recommended by my niece on FB. Visited Sat 8/26/23. Head's up, this is an All Cash place and worth it! Smiling attentive waitress, great food and salsas. 'Friendly fellowship does at the table,' said best by my new found friends that even paid for my meal. Can't wait to return!

    Best menudo and Caldo de Pollo. These ladies are the best waitress. They will bring your food timely and offer great customer service. Yes, the booth seats need to be replaced, but that's not what I am reviewing.
