What a great spot! The atmosphere is vibrant, the food is absolutely delicious, and they have a little salsa cart with some incredible options. I went on a regular day and also on Taco Tuesday and both times were excellent. Special shout-out to the chef Juan, who definitely adds a special touch to every dish. The waitstaff are always friendly and attentive. With traditional music and food that feels like home, this place is a gem.

Our first experience at El Gran Tako, but won’t be our last. We both had … wait for it … tacos. ♂️ But their menu is a lot deeper than that, with a huge assortment of tortas that may have exceeded the variety of tacos available, as well as other dishes. We tried their al pastor, which was ok, but their queso birria tacos with consomme were amazing. Double-layered, fried corn tortillas with the cheese strategically placed in the seem of the fold in an attempt to help them hold together longer because of the wetness of the steamed, seasoned beef and consomme … it almost worked. The tacos were loaded to the edge with the beef, along with a decent, but not overpowering amount of cilantro and onion. The consomme was very tasty. Not the bright red kind you may be accustomed to, but thick and full of flavor. I can’t say I’ve had consommé with rice in it, but there wasn’t too much, and I ended up eating part of it like a satisfying soup. It’s a three taco plate served with a small side of grilled onions and lime wedges as optional garnishes. While it doesn’t come with other full-sized sides, I didn’t need them, and walked away over-satisfied.
Yes, there are healthier options.
The salsa bar, while not huge, was a nice touch, and I look forward to returning to try the rest. But if you’re looking for heat, you’ll find a jar of their version of a chili crisp on your table. Apply sparingly so you understand the heat level. I left with a nice capsaicin buzz, and did not regret it.
Don’t misunderstand the other ratings. Everyone was pleasant, and our waitress was sweet, but we were in and out pretty quickly. I’d be surprised if my atmosphere rating went up on subsequent visits, of which, there will be plenty, but it was clean and pleasant.
Overall a great first experience and I recommend giving them a try.

Took a friend, and our children out to eat here. My daughter was the only one to get beef burrito. Halfway through she felt sick and for the next 4 days was sick to her stomach. We’ve never had and kind of problems with their food before but this time we were disappointed .

It had been a while since we ate at El Gran Tako, and our previous food experience here was decent.
This time, everything was different…and NOT for the better. I ordered one of my favorite tacos, taco de birris, a dish that typically NEVER disappoints, until today. The food took a bit and arrived lukewarm. The corn tortillas were stale and disintegrated when picked up. The birria was SUPER DRY, how is this possible with steamed meat? Service was lack luster. Definitely won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend.

They should give you more than just a thin stack of a couple tortillas for a order of fajitas that wasn’t sizzling when I got it. It tasted fine but the point of a fajita is the sizzling…This places does have great tortas. Overall I would recommend.
