Escuela Taqueria

4+ I came in the other day because I really wanted to try their crispy beef and pickle taco in honor of Steven Arroyo (RIP). The pickles definitely added another dimension on a fried beef taco. I liked the extra acidity the pickle brought to the equation. I also ordered a crispy potato taco to round out my small meal, which was also very good.I can't believe I've never been here before, but I was expecting more of a small taqueria. This place has the vibe of a full on restaurant complete with bar. When I came here on a weekday, the place was pretty empty since it just had opened. I grabbed a seat at the bar and was greeted by some really friendly people. It was a really pleasant experience with a attentive service and delicious food. Before I came here, I had eaten not too long prior so I wasn't super hungry. But didn't realize that they had a pretty extensive menu and I definitely would love to come back and try some more items from it.

This place has really good food.But they serve things on paper and in plastic.Eating guacamole out of plastic is just not good.This isn't a taco truck, so why are they doing this.

Great food but very slow service. I've been a few times and always pleased with the chips and salsa, guac as they serve it in a to-go container so you can take it home with you. The burritos are top notch which is what brings me back. I generally only go when I have ample time to spend because this is not a quick stop, the service is consistently slow and I always have to ask for the bill when sitting there with an empty plate for at long time. The last time I went there was what looked like the manager sitting at one of the large dining room tables had papers all over the place and snapped at one of the workers to deal with the customers because she is too busy. Very unprofessional in my opinion, I kind of felt like a nuisance to be there.

I honestly don't know what the hype is about this place. $12 for a steak taco and $30 for a burrito when you have to pay for guac is crazy. I think this is just for influencers. Service was good but I just think it's way too overpriced and nothing special. The guac is for sure the star of the show. But these tacos were so small not worth at all (I had to get the chicken which was $6).

solid spot for mexican food. the wagyu burrito was definitely my favorite but you can't go wrong with any of the menu options. the guac and salsa is a great option to start w, loved their tortilla chips.

Interesting vibe, but the food, prices, and service do not add up.Came by with a group of friends and we were all pretty shocked by the prices when we paid. We also had to ask for water 3 separate times. We finally got water after we received chips & guac and our cocktails. We then didn't see our waiter again until we flagged her down for the check. The chips were very tasty. They came out hot, fresh, crispy, and salty. The tacos were fairly small, more like street taco sizes but were $7-10 each?! Plus they charge that much per taco, and they're served on paper... I was honestly shocked. I got a single taco and the romaine/feta salad without protein which was $20 just for those two items. The salad did not taste particularly fresh. The taco was tasty but was haphazardly thrown together with 3 small shrimp. Margaritas were fine. But "fine" doesn't quite justify a $40 price tag for a small flight. The best part about the experience was waiting outside and smelling the burgers next door... Seeing other reviews that you can order from there, and I regret not doing that!

Tried this place with my cousin for the first time and it was fantastic. I wish I could have my extra froth partner with me. But this place had great guac and salsa. Not too much tomatoes mixed or onion flavors it was creamy and fantastic. The chips had a good amount of salt and you can tell they were fresh. We had the crunchy beef tacos with pickles. The Wagyu burrito and shrimp taco. The food all had good seasoning. The Wagyu was cooked medium and was full of flavor. This is a hidden gem and I see why they were busy and popular. It has an authentic Mexican feel inside and the flavors don't disappoint.

Why such a little star? Well for myself the food was delicious ~ chips guacamole was on point and man their salsa was so good I was licking the bowl! My friend had their frozen margarita she said it was delicious ~~ the service was excellent so friendly from the point you go in and settle down. It's beautiful and clean spot I'll definitely choose this place over Alma! For sure! It has plenty of room and if you're around farmers market looking for some delicious Mexican food this is the spot for you! Please order the guacamole and their salsa! Yum yum yum!

I had the vegetarian burrito and a glass of red wine. I drink red wine with every type of food. But yes, it's a good combination. Their chips were fresh, and the menu for tacos of all shapes and fashions seemed endless. My wife had a fish taco, and she liked it. The service was quick, and they paid attention to you while we were there. It's a good party spot but also intimate. They have booths on the side, which is good for quiet chit-chat with a loved one or even a business meeting--a good place to go before seeing a film at the Beverly Cinema.

Ordered the chips and salsa , langostino taco and waygu tacos. Chips and salsa were great! Salsa came with a spoon and literally , you could eat it like that. Langoustines were not that fresh, unfortunately. I get it, they were frozen at some point. But yeah they very super fishy. Thank god only 4 to a taco. The waygu was fair. Pretty chewy. Tortillas were great in both tacos. Very fresh and delicious. Service was nice. The salsa and chips were worth the price. Would come back for that and see if there are any tacos I like.
