Out on the island for work and always seeking authentic tacos. This place came up and the photos screamed legit. I went in and there was a mixture of Hispanic families and Hispanic drunk construction workers so it immediately told me that this was a good decision. I ordered 5 chicken, onion, and cilantro tacos and sat down. About 20 minutes later I was called and given a cafeteria tray of my tacos which continued to get me excited for my meal.
Classic taco spot with the rojo and verde salsa offerings I doused my first taco with them and bit in but noticed a soft odd boiled flavor to the meat. When you get grilled chicken there’s a slight blackening or smoke flavor received but, while tender, these had an unfamiliar flavor that I could taste even with the salsa. The tortillas lacked flavor. Some spots you taste the tortilla and it brings you right back to Mexico but these were MEH. Edible but not out of this world because I ordered the most basic taco that you can get.
After finishing my five tacos I went up to pay and the bill confused me. $29.09 for five basic tacos. I paid and as I was walking out I turned back and approached the woman who’d just rung me up and asked for clarification. She explained the pricing and then the owner approached and asked if everything was ok to which I responded with his prices were too much.
I’ve traveled all over the country, lived in nyc, and been throughout Mexico and the world and never paid that much for basic tacos. This just shows a business owner charging excessive amounts for simple dishes and being greedy. Yes, I ate the tacos but for a basic dish exceeding standard pricing, that is not proper business and the catalyst for my one star.
It’s a shame that a local place with people who love the simple food should have to overpay.

If I’m in the mood for tacos and within a 20-mile radius, El Paso Authentic Taco Grill is the only place I even consider. The flavours are the real deal—authentic, fresh, and made with quality ingredients that you can taste in every bite. And the sauces? Oh my. They're so good they should seriously consider bottling and selling them. This place never misses.

Super delicious tacos! Made fresh to order. Generous portion too. Takes Apple Pay
Disappointed by the speed of service and taste of grilled plantains however

Im an uber eats driver. When I entered it took several minutes of them ignoring me for a response, and when they did it was disrespectful. It felt like they prioritized everyone else over me and the other delivery driver there. If they don't want to serve uber eats drivers then why put yourself on the app??

The place was empty but with a constant flow of people picking up And ordering take out.
I ordered the Carne asada taco which was 3 taco stuffed with beef and topped with radishes, onion, cilantro and hot sauce. It was amazing and very filling.
My husband ordered #5 which was the steak onions and jalapeño, it also comes with rice and black beans and a salad.
The wait for this delicious food took a long time about half hour for our order to go. All the food was delicious and very filling. We Will be eating from there again. But next time we will order to pick up.
One down side of ordering at the location was that there is no pricing on thier food menu.
