El Tizoncito

My bf and I came on a Sunday at around noon and it was decently busy. The parking lot was full, so we parked a little down the street. It wasn't a far or bad walk at all. Someone greeted us immediately and sat us down at a booth. We were each given a free small bowl of delicious, soupy black beans, right after being seated. Then we ordered horchata, and it was great. You also get one free refill on the aguas frescas, which made it a great value. BISTEC CON QUESO TACOS ON FLOUR: Delicious! Well-seasoned, moist, not dry at all! They're a little small, but not too small that it was unsatisfying. And they gave a good amount of meat. They also give you the option of flour or corn tortillas for the tacos, which I really appreciated. MENUDO: Great flavor! It had lots of tripe, with large pieces too! Such a great value for the price. It was a huge portion! I barely made a dent. It felt like it was family-sized lol truly the perfect bowl of menudo!Literally everything we had here was delicious! Neither of us had a single complaint. I can't wait to come back when I'm in town!

It was years ago I visited this location and did not much care for it then. Now, it is convenient while I get my oil changed. The staff is very nice and attentive. The place is clean shortly after any sort of lunch rush they may have experienced. I ordered the Cubana Torta and very much appreciated the waitress confirming the order was right before she handed me the plate. (Not a fan of jalapeños and the chef had them on the plate before the waitress caught it.) This goes a long way for me because it shows she cares.

Tasty food and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. The only negative point is that there is too much coriander in the tomato.

I've always seen this spot in passing and finally got to try it. I was seated immediately upon entering and was brought a cup of black beans and tray of toppings. My waiter was attentive and customer service was good. I decided to order the guacamole + chips and the 4 tacos (chicken + beef). I really enjoyed the tacos and being able to control what I placed on top. The sauces provided were good as you had mild and spicy version. My only complaint is that the guacamole could've had more to it. It was just mashed avocados. I had to add extra salt for flavoring.Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and would return to try out of items.

Friendly! Right in the door and I was warmly greeted and then handed off to a super-sweet waitress. It's sort of a hole-in-the-wall location, but I was very pleasantly surprised with the interior (I'm a little judgy on restaurant interiors, can't help myself) - spacious, not drab, comfortable. I was then provided with the condiments and black beans in the photo. What, no chips!? Given that I will consume every chip on the table, I was really happy with the black beans...way healthier!! Besides, I ordered chicken tinga tostadas so I got some carbs there. Thick, crunchy shells, chicken & black bean spread, topped with lettuce & avocado, pretty high-brow presentation. I'll happily go back when I'm in that part of town.

We decided to try El Tiz before attending a Christmas lights parade and WOW! So good!The wife and I both ordered the beef tacos and they were incredibly tasty, service was fast, ambience great. We will return!

Great location off Lemmon. They offer inside and outside seating The service is very good and the food was fresh and hot and a very large portion. The sampler I got was $15.99 which is very reasonable. The waitress kept checking in to make sure I was good and the atmosphere was casual. I would recommend this location.

Really good authentic Mexican food. Affordably priced. Good service. Convenient strip center location on Lemmon with easy parking.

UPDATE: I only just noticed the$2 charge for "open food". I don't know what it's for. Maybe it was my coffee refill? It's off-putting enough to knock a star off my review. I wish they were more transparent. I'd still go back, but I'd double check the receipt before leaving.ORIGINAL: Came in after an early morning flight on Christmas Eve. I was craving breakfast tacos near Love Field and I'm so glad we came in here. Our server, Jovanny, was top tier. The food was ready quickly and well seasoned. Okie Bill for breakfast for 2 came to about $35. My only negative point is the difficulty with the menu if you're vegetarian. I got breakfast tacos with papas and the botana with hongos/mushrooms. The black bean soup does have meat in it so heads up to vegetarians and vegans.Ultimately, I was able to have a great meal and great service during a day and time that might usually be rough to get both. I'm happy.

Good place for tacos! Service was very friendly and fast. I ordered the Parrillada which was a combo of 4 tacos, cheese quesadilla, cebollitas, and some guacamole. I also ordered an appetizer of cebollitas. They also bring out a caddy of 2 salsas, onions, cilantro, and lime. Perfect! The salsa verde was my favorite!The tacos were all good (steak, chicken, pork chop, and Al pastor). The steak and Al pastor were my favorites. The cheese quesadilla (bite size) was really good also!I didn't really like the cebollitas appetizer. They were marinated in what tasted like Braggs Amino Acid (like soy sauce) that I didn't care for. Overall a great meal! Can't get over how friendly and on-point the staff was.
