El Taquito Cafe

I dropped my dad off at the bus station. Bus was leaving in 15 minutes. He asked me to find him some tacos for the trip. I looked up El Taquito and rushed over. When I walked in the employee asked me how my trip was etc. very polite (I had an spi shirt on so he knew I was a tourist).I explained my dad was at the bus station and the bus left any minute. He went into immediate action. Went to the kitchen and got them to expedite my order. Have me coffee to go, salsa and cream.Bam! Took five minutes. I'll ask my dad how the tacos were. But the customer service was absolutely top notch and I'm very appreciative.I got back to my dad at 8:29. Bus left at 8:30. Victory.Thanks again!

Food is good. Service is excellent. Staff if friendly. Prices comparable. Chalupas and enchiladas are delicious.

I steer clear away from this one anytime I am in Harlingen. With so many choices for Tex-Mex in Harlingen, I don't understand why anyone would want to eat here. I've seen several cockroaches in the restaurant before, not to mention how incredibly dirty they keep it in the kitchen. That is not excusable. Their service is also a hit or miss... I know 90% of residents in Harlingen speak Spanish, but when I can't find not even one person to assist me in English, something is wrong there. There have been instances where employees have been extremely rude. I used to love their ridiculously huge carne guisada tacos, stuffed to the brim with fillings. That is, until I got really sick one day :( Go with any other Tex-Mex restaurant in Harlingen, as a matter of fact I can think of a good one not even 2 blocks away from El Taquito....

Decided to visit an old favorite while in town visiting. The first impression was not too good; the interior and the exterior are tired and old and need a good renovation/update/cleaning.The chips were terrible...not homemade and very stale. I was disappointed, as that was the first thing to come to the table. The salsa was good. The fajita taco was good, and the tortilla was delicious and fresh. Not sure I'll ever come back--there are so many other options in town.

Wow. I remember going here with my dad for breakfast when I was really young. As I grew older, the family and I regularly had breakfast here on Saturday mornings.Honestly, this place is NOT pretty. The interior is rather outdated (it looks rather 60s-80s dark), and the wait staff primarily speaks Spanish (but don't worry - they understand English, too!). But the food is dirt CHEAP and DELICIOUS. For my mom, dad, brother, and me, we had enormous tacos that would take up the entire plate all for under $8 for all four of us. With coffee for my parents, and orange juice for me and my brother.What's great is the tortillas are made in the restaurant - not store bought. After growing up with homemade tortillas at home, I seriously don't like store-bought tortillas. Goodness. This place cannot be beat. Cannot stress that enough! Get over there already!

I came to this spot since I was working in the area. The staff seemed friendly, and the Large Taco was GINORMOUS! The carne guisada was super soft, and it reminded me of pot roast. I wanna come back and try the enchiladas...

Since I am finding all my favorite places in Texas this one is a must!! It is a total dive but the best mexican food!! Breakfast tacos OMG are soo good and soo cheap!They make homemade huge tortillas right there and the breakfast tacos are the best I've ever had. Little old Mexican ladies hand make the huge flour tortillas in the kitchen. This is a sure sign of a great breakfast taco place in my opinion!I miss Breakfast Tacos!! San Francisco just doesn't have them :(

I love the big carne guisada tacos they sell there service is good ..only thing is it closes early it's not like before..but I still love those tacos.

Horrible customer service. Dirty tables and expensive prices The place is not the same anymore. Interior is ugly

I absolutely love this place. The staff is so friendly and the food is amazing. Best of all... no sign asking you to check your order before you leave because they do that for you! Even better, if you order multiple tacos they take the time to write the taco order on the wrapping! Something so simple most restaurants these days don't do.
