El Tlacoyo

My daughter and I just visited El Tlacoyo for the first time and we had an amazing experience Starting with the service, we were greeted and sat quickly, chips and salsas were brought as soon as we sat. The red and green salsas were spicy and tasty.I had a mezcal drink that was spicy and refreshing.To eat we started with the barbacoa, super tender and flavorful (came with cilantro, onion, lime), lamb soup with hominy (bomb) and Guarache !Everything was fresh, authentic and seasoned! Would recommend anyone to come and try this amazing food!!!

Came back and had the exact green Chile beef burrito lunch I've had a few times before, and although be service is GREAT and the burrito was tasty - it was a bit smaller, included rice and beans were a bit less, and it no longer comes with the small side of guacamole - but the PRICE RAISED from $7 up to $11.44! Ouch. That's pricing for a much nicer restaurant, not a little fast food place. Also there was loud tv on in the kitchen (playing some soap opera with lots of crying/whining and laughing), and different tv (playing loud sports) on in the dining room and I couldn't wait to finish and get out of there quickly. Lastly, my first review talked about how cute it was on the inside. They freshly painted everything white and got rid of all the decor, so now it's pretty bland.

We always love the food here! Authentic Mexican cuisine. The mushroom soup is my favorite as well as the lamb soup and the Chile relleno and micheladas. Always leave full and satisfied with the great flavors of Mexico City!

Okay so the ambiance won't melt your heart but if you're from SoCal, the food will. If you're looking for the American greasy cheesy flavor this is not it. I spoke to a customer from Pacheco, Mexico and he said the food was very similar to home. This is more the authentic taste I grew up with in OC. It's hard to find Mexican food without the TexMex style here but I even love their chips & salsa. Red dried chile taste. We've had the nopales, chicken, Carne asada & other tacos. Chilaquiles, mushroom soup ... etc. all of it was wonderful! Don't judge on atmosphere, just try it! Oh - they may not know what gluten is but they have many many gluten free options. My husband and I are gluten free & we never get sick from their delicious food!

Delicious and always great service! Wide variety of vegetarian options! I love going there to try new dishes.

Ok, this is a big one for me. Majority of my reviews are negative. Positive reviews are hard to come by from me. This place was amazing, the service, food and atmosphere was phenomenal. And oooooh my the green sauce! Talk about a hidden gem. Absolutely absolutely absolutely let me say that again, absolutely recommend coming here and having dinner or lunch. Delicioso

You know this place is authentic when you walk in and you're the only non Latinos dining in! We came on a Saturday for lunch and it was a full house. Super friendly and patient staff. They do not skimp on onions, lime, and cilantro!! Salsas are really spicy. Chips were good. We ordered a burrito and 3 tacos. My husband normally does not like beans and he loved his side of beans!! While the meat can be a bit dry I didn't mind as the toppings and salsas helped. We were super full and had leftovers! Can't wait to return to try more menu items, esp the carne asada plate!

Disgusting. Reheated old food. My toddlers fries were rotten and the nuggets were dry and hard. My torta had old carne asada.

This place felt pretty authentic. The meat had good flavor but was dry. The tortillas are store bought. The salsa they give you for chips and salsa is really more just hot sauce. They know how to do cilantro and onions though. They do not skimp on cilantro and onions.

Food was delicious as always. Try the hitlacoche for something different and tasty. Coffee has cinnamon and I love it.
