Tacos El Takin

One of the best taco spots in San Antonio. So underrated. The mini tacos are amazing and so is the asada fries.

Recommend: Maybe. Lately I've been craving tacos and yes, I've eaten tacos before but I continue to be on the hunt for some tacos worth coming back to. In case you are craving tacos, Tacos El Takin will satisfy your craving but I do not consider them as ones that will draw you back in. Especially since there are 2 other taco places, I noticed, within the same block. Food: i went with family and we ordered Asada mini tacos and Campechano (mixture of 3 meats) mini tacos. The tacos came out freshly made and hot with onions, cilantro, and a creamy green sauce (maybe their version of guacamole, not spicy). Other salsas were available at the entrance. They both had a good spice to them. The tacos were full of meat and I did enjoy that it was chopped into very small pieces. I did not see much fat in them either, which I appreciated. We also got their agua fresca- Jamaica. It was very good. Service; The service was fast, friendly, and the staff answered all questions regarding the menu. Ambiance: They played music, mostly salsa. It was not loud and allowed for us to speak normally. The location of the restaurant was a little hidden, I thought the GPS had taken me to a closed location. Once we made the corner, we saw the well lit restaurant. There is an ok amount of parking. The tables were not sticky and appeared to be clean.

My wife scored another fabulous place, a diamond in Mario barrio. tortas were fabulous, avocado sauce, excellent medium, and hot sauces. Excellent taste. We will definitely be back. People are friendly quick to serve and seem genuinely grateful.. there's a lot to test on this menu which means we will have to come back several times next time I promise to take a picture.

Simple menu & always good. My go-to spot for mini tacos or a torta on the NE side. More salsa choices would be good but I'm not complaining. Great service as well.

After a long day at 6 flags I was looking for a place to eat that was by our hotel and came across this place. The guy who was taking my order was very patient and helpful. I placed an order for the 5 mini tacos. The tacos were good and the salsa was delicious.

Food great, service great! Will definitely be going backNot too big,or too small. Music playing. A little pricey but what isn't nowadays! Give it a try!

PLEASE COME TRY THE FOOD!!!! My fiancé and I both got beef quesadillas. Very delicious. Also, the salsas are great & spicy. I loved the green one. The service was great we ordered on the phone & picked our food up to go. The person that took our order was friendly and helpful with the menu. Must try!

I was too excited to take a before picture but you can tell I loved my food ! this place is delicious. This is my second time here and it's been great both times. This will now be our too go spot. I got the mini tacos order which comes with 5 tacos. Customer service is also fast and friendly

My husband and I just moved to San Antonio and were craving some good tacos and this place did not disappoint! We are from California and let me tell you these were better than any tacos I've had in LA. Also love that they have vegan tacos. The man who took our order was also so warm and friendly, we will definitely be regulars here!

Very good food, good taste and flavor; service is awesome, the ambiance and cleanliness can improve for sure
