  Great atmosphere for a meet up over lunch with a friend. Although admittedly still a little confused about what to do every time I get inside. Multiple lines and options make for amazing variety, but not without some confusion. nevertheless always impressed with the quality and freshness of the food. Next time you have a Chipotle, Cafe Rio or Qdoba craving. Do yourself a favor and hit Taco y Taco. You wont regret it!

  Now with two local locations, the first on East Tropicana with a larger and more upscale space in Henderson on South Eastern, Taco Y Taco is said by many to offer some of the best Mexican street food in all of Las Vegas, a Saturday lunch showing the original to offer a fairly good bargain as well.Located in one of streets various retail centers, an elevated space with backdoor and dining room accessed by the parking lot while the counter at which one orders is best approached by foot from the street, Taco Y Taco is not the sort of place to splurge on dcor or creature comforts, the focus squarely on the food and matter-of-fact customer service, an argument taking place on arrival as customer argued with the cook about why he could not add eggs to an item.Featuring various Lines, though none really seemed to matter too much provided the order was straightforward and ready to go, it was with Chicharrons not yet available that a three Taco late, plus one Vampiro was assembled the affirmative answer to with everything? adding cilantro, onions and housemade salsa with additional options for customization available at a tiny salsa bar.Playing traditional music loudly overhead, soccer on the TV with the view out the windows facing a Plasma Donation Center, a look at the food shows a lot of time spent in preparing various meats from which the Pibil was tender, though slightly underflavored while the Carne Asada featured a robust bit of char to the tender beef with a slightly spicy linger.Serving Beef Tripe from a small steamer basket, but happy to toss it back on the griddle when requested crispy, the Taco Tripa was undeniably unctuous with a good mix of crunch and creaminess playing well off the toppings while the crispy Tortilla griddled around melted Cheese and Pork Al Pastor was every bit deserving of the praise heaped upon it the marinated meat almost sweet in beneath the exterior layer of caramelization and good enough that a second trip to the counter was justified for one more.Certainly no expert on Tacos or Street Food, but knowledgeable enough to know well made food and a deal, Taco Y Taco is a worthwhile stop for their signatures, though the under-seasoned Pibil and lack of a menu item at 11:00 show room for improvement. endoedibles.com

  Oct, 2016 update: Once again we headed to this location for a lite lunch. My wife and I each settled on a pair of al pastor street tacos while sharing a diet coke. The meat was sliced to order and topped with crema, onions, cilantro and canned pineapple that I supplemented with sides of salsa, beans, and grilled onions from the salsa bar. The one negative note was the taco shells were heated on the same grill as the al pastor so they were a bit messy. April, 2016 update—-My wife and I have now dined at this restaurant’s twin locations so you can call us fans. We each ordered our usual a pair of al pastor street tacos and a soda. These tacos were generously filled and delicious. We may use of salsa bar for roasted peppers and onions, a variety of salsas, pickled carrots, beans and more. —-April, 2015 update —-Seeking a light lunch, we headed to this restaurant again for the al pastor tacos. What separates this restaurant from its competitors is the expanded condiment that includes a variety of salsas, grilled jalapenos and scallions, pickled carrots, radishes, beans and more.21 Apr, 2014Expansive salsa bar. Needing a snack to carry us over to dinner, my wife and I stopped at this recently (4 days) opened location where we each ordered a single al pastor street taco. At the expansive salsa bar, we (mostly I) helped ourselves to warm pinto and black beans, marinated carrots and grilled peppers/onions. This location offers alcoholic drinks and is much larger with an upstairs room and is more upscale than their original location on Tropicana. There is a good size help yourself salsa bar with salsas, warm beans, pickled carrots, grilled onions and peppers plus more. The tacos were very good, but we agreed there was not as much meat though I have given them a little slack because the staff was probably still in training. A few days later we make a 2nd visit, this time sharing 4 tacos; 3 al pastors and a chorizo. The quantity of meat was better. This was the first full weekend for this location so there were 2 customer service representatives helping people plus a DJ. A great addition to the Eastern Avenue dining scene.

  Taco y Taco is the cousin of Tacos el Gordo and holds its own in the Mexican food department. Everything here is fresh and authentic tasting. Simply wonderful..24 Jun, 2014One of the best places for Mexican food in all of Vegas. Everything is authentic, fresh and made street style. Great variety with plenty of different meats to choose from. Place reminds me of Tacos El Gordo although I believe Taco Y Taco has a slight edge.
