Much better than I ever excepted. Make no mistake, El Tako Nako is a taco dive.
They have shared parking with their State Farm neighbor. I had no problem locating a spot. The lot was clean, but unfortunately customers were smoking just outside the door.
The dining room utilizes bar seating along the exterior walls. Plus it has a center table for large groups. They were busy with customers picking up and dining in. Things may look old, but I found the eating area clean. They also have a restroom that was also clean.
The menu is simple. They offer six items. Tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tortas and quesabirrias. From their is build your own from different types of proteins, starch etc. Bottled beer, soda, water and other flavored items are offered.
The older gentleman who may have been the owner was super helpful navigating the menu for a first timer. The prices fair.
I ordered a bowl with pork, beans, rice, lettuce and tomatoes. A white sauce is applied unless you say not to. You can add other types such as avocado sauce and a spicy sauce. Also got a chicken cheese quesadillas. To drink a bottle water from the cooler.
The food cranked out in 5 minutes and was brought to me. I was shocked how much food was in the bowl. It was so good, but the quesadillas my fave! Probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything seemed qualify.
They are open until midnight and someone said they are also food truck. 4.5 rounding up and will return and recommend to others.

I come here for my birthday at this point.
This is my favorite spot, I’ll get a quesadilla with birria, spicy red, sour cream, and 3 chicken tacos typically because the prices are amazing. I think the rapport they build with customers turns this place into something truly special. A must-eat if you’re within 40 miles of it at any time.

Run, don’t walk, to El Tako Nako. These tacos were SO GOOD and that’s coming from someone who not only loves Gomez tacos, but I was also born and raised in the Bay Area so I’m superrr picky with my Mexicana food.
I had cabeza, lengua and birria tacos. My partner had chorizo and we ate them up quick. The tortillas are firm so they don’t easily fall apart, and delicious. You can get onions, cilantro, grilled onions and cheese, which we did. They have hot, mild and guacamole sauces, which were even more delicious on the tacos. They were filling and so worth it. Plus, 8 tacos for like 38 bucks?! Not too bad in my book.
We will be coming back, you best believe. Pleaseeee make this joint go popular, they deserve it.

I normally don’t order birria tacos, but they looked good on the menu so decided to take a risk!
Very flavorful birra and consomé… my husband LOVED it! I probably won’t order it again, but only because I’m not a fan of birra tacos. The carne asada tacos and torta though, was amazing! Very authentic and so happy they spread beans on the bread.
Customer service was wonderful, I hope this place stays open for a very long time!

El Tako Nako is love, El Tako Nako is life. They are a puppy jumping through a field, a kitten seeing its mom for the first time. They are a child seeing a parent return home from war, a warm spring day after a harsh winter.
I’ve patronized their food truck and today I went to their new brick and mortar restaurant. It’s really, really awesome. Everyone is so kind and the food is just so good and hits the spot every time. I had the campechano burrito, it was amazing. Total was $15 with tax, tip, guacamole and a bottle of water.

I tried it first time today. As a guy come from California, I would say this Taco is really authentic, it is comparable to tacos in LA.

The tacos were amazing. Had the campechano and birria tacos. Both were good but the campechano was the best taco I’ve ever had. Lots of jarritos flavors too and three different hot sauces.
