Taqueria Emanuel

Great place for authentic food, definitely worth the trip !!!! Bring your appetite with the big portions, very relaxed atmosphere with a nice family vibe. Friendly staff and service. This place definitely brings the flavors and spices

Tuesdays are $2 tacos! Decent taco place near Intl mall. Like others said, the individual tacos are too small for $4. The lengua had good flavor. But the al pastor pork was too chopped up for my liking. The quesabirrias were delicious and come 3 per order. The consommé was not too salty and light cinnamon flavor. If I was in the area, I would get the quesabirrias again. I was full from 2 tacos and 2 quesabirria. The place has been here 10 years at least and is pretty authentic.

This is a small strip mall hole in the wall that serves a really nice fresh homemade guacamole. The burrito was so so. Too much rice and beans not enough steak. But for guacamole and chips a burrito and a Coke $15 plus tip it was an all right meal

Went there for Taco Tuesday and it's $2 per selected tacos (just fyi, fish taco is not included and normal price is $4). The tacos were well seasoned and tasty but tiny. Their sauces are fire!!' Can be super spicy so think twice before you squeeze lol. Service was quick and friendly. We went there before 6pm and it took about 10' but I heard there is usually very long lines. The shop was small but they also offer outdoor seatings. Their elote was great, a great balance of sour, spicy, sweet with the creaminess of queso. Highly recommend it. Overall, it's a good place for taco, a little pricy but they have different promotions on each day of the week.

The food here is highly underrated. It was SO good, and SO delicious, I think I'll drive out here once a month just to try everything on the menu. The lady who served us was very nice and friendly, and she seemed to be in a great chipper mood. I truly enjoyed the whole experience. The place is very small with a few tables inside, and it almost kinda feels like you're in Mexico, lol. Everyone speaking Spanish, small, stuff everywhere just like it is in Mexico. Just an overall nice and pleasant time spent there today. Again, the food is just...MMM!

8 tacos ordered with chips and salsas and a couple of Jarritos to wash it all down. Just fantastic! We had my little dog so we sat outside at a sidewalk table. The lady knew and took great care of us. The Al Pastor tacos were so delicious! The onions and cilantro were so fragrant and fresh. The Campachanos were amazing as well. Highly recommend!

Taqueria Emanuel is definitely a delicious small taqueria that some might call a 'hole-in-the-wall' restaurant. You won't come here for expansive seating or eye popping interior decor, however if you are looking for unforgettable Quesabirria or Cochinita Pibil taco, you can't go wrong stopping by here. You order by the taco from most of their offerings except the Quesabirria which come as a set of two. Each of their taco came freshly made on their homemade tortilla, fresh ingredients and fixings. Even the Quesabirria dipping sauce tasted freshly made. My favorite here is Cochinita Pibil filled with shredded pork topped with lettuce, red onions and habanero peppers. This spicy taco is bursting with flavor with an even balance of spice. The red onion add a touch of visual flare to the taco. The Quesabirria is served hot, crunchy and perfectly filled to prevent any of the stuffing spilling out while you dip and bite. A most satisfying set of taco if you are in the mood for these. The El Pastor taco are filled with juicy steak cooked to perfection and topped with cilantro and old iced onion. Simplicity is best when it comes to tasty taco, in this case.I found the staff to be very polite, and efficient in taking my order and bring out my food to the small high top table. There are bench seating along the side walls in this cozy taqueria. This is definitely a place for anyone craving tasty taco and leaving with a total satisfied feeling.

My sister and I were heading through Tampa back from an appointment and craving birria tacos at 9:30 in the morning I plugged a search in Yelp with low hopes but saw the reviews for this place and we skkrrt skrrrted right over. A small place in a little strip we ordered- 1 order of birria tacos (shredded beef with consomé), 1 housemate horchata, chips and queso, a cochinita pibil taco, and a steak and cheese empanada, the decently extensive menu did not have prices listed at all, but all of this and a bottle of water came out to a little over $30. The chips are house made fresh fried tortillas-crunchy and the queso was REALLY GREAT-smooth consistently and very flavorful without being spicy (my sister is a weenie), the birria tacos came out next and after my first bite I think she thought I was being dramatic, until she took one and had an audible mouthgasm. THE BEST birria tacos we've ever had. The pibil taco was good, but but didn't hold a candle after the queso and birria, the empanada came out at the end of our visit, it's unique-it was essentially the shredded beef and white cheese stuffed into tamale dough, pressed, fried and topped with sour cream and shredded lettuce. It was good, but not a typical empanada and didn't have the ratio of filing to wrap that I was seeking but wouldn't *not* order it again. The horchata was delicious, very creamy, and not overly done with cinnamon-as with most places they do not offer refills, but it was smaller drink than most authentic places I get them at. Small restaurant, with limited seating in a strip mall, they had a specials board behind the counter we didn't see until we were leaving that had several unique offerings will be checking that out on our next visit. Service was okay, but they also had a sign that they offer $2 tacos on Tuesday and some sort of esquite special on Mondays. They also offer tripa and lengua tacos. GET: chips and queso, Birria tacos, horchata

I ordered an Al Pastor Burrito today & while I thought the burrito tasted good, I was very disappointed at the fact that the burrito consisted of primarily beans & rice with Al Pastor added in. Not what I expected at all & I was very very disappointed. That and the fact that I paid $11+ dollars for a jazzed up rice, bean & cheese burrito (with meat added) I have had plenty of authentic Mexican food & this is Not it. Do not reccomend.One more thing, yes as another reviewer noted, the prices are not listed on the menu either.

This is a cozy restaurant with friendly staff and tasty food! Mainly a taco menu but that do have "Specials" as well as breakfast options. We opted for a breakfast burrito and a costillos plate that was spicy and cane with rice and refried beans. This dish was spicy enough to clear my sinuses better than my allergy medication. The pork meat was juicy and the beans and rice were perfect.We had the burrito made to order and it was just as expected, a good thing! Flavorful, stuff to the max with eggs, beans, potatoes and ham. Delicious!We will be back! You gotta try it!
