Taco y Taco y Elotes y Vampiro y Mexican Coke y salsa bar….. How can one restaurant have so many of my favorite things!!!! Taco y Taco is God’s gift to the Eastside… yeah, yeah. The Eastside can get a lot of hate (probably the greatest concentration of 7-11s in the whole world). But there’s positives to living here, being less than five minutes from Taco y Taco is one of them. Lets first talk about the namesake, tacos. I’ve had their chicharrones, barbacoa, asada and al pastor. The last three are my favorite meats in all the world. The barbacoa is rich and flavorful and their al pastor is satisfying crisp, flavorful and crunchy. It comes with a sprinkle of pina and a dab of taquiera gucamole (my favorite). Their carne asada is ok, it’s an honorable mention. I’ve never had anything bad here. Also they have soy chorizo and seta (mushrooms) available for tacos but I haven’t tried those yet. It would be a five star joint with just their tacos, but they also serve elotes. I love elotes, its a fresh ear of corn smothered with mayonnaise, cheese and hot spices. TBH: the guy who walks around my neighborhood with the elotes cart is better, but TyT makes a good version too. They’ve also got vampiros that come with your choice of meat. A vampiro is like a meat quesadilla but better. And they have Mexican coke for $2. AND they have an amazing salsa and veggie bar. All my favorite things! Under one roof! Is it good? Yes y yes.
Nov, 2017 update: We needed a light lunch before attending an early afternoon show so we drove to this nearby restaurant. Once again my wife and I each ordered a pair of al pastor street tacos. I was surprised, read disappointed, to discover the meat had already been sliced and was chopped prior to adding it to our taco shells. Also, in addition to crema, onions and cilantro, they are now adding canned pineapple. The salsa bar remains a positive, but I think we will be visiting a different restaurant in the future when we are in the mood for street tacos.-Oct, 2014 update: Not as good. For lunch one day, my wife and I each had a pair of al pastor tacos with onions, cilantro and pineapple. The cook did not slice the al pastor to order, but rather chopped it into tiny pieces that proved to be disappointing in comparison to our prior visits. The free salsa bar was good with me selecting a small portion of warm black and pinto beans, a variety of salsas, grilled onion and peppers plus pickled carrots.05 Jul, 2013Best tacos in town. What sets this restaurant apart from its competition is it is larger, cleaner and offers a help yourself salsa bar that includes warm beans, sliced cucumbers, multiple salsas and spicy pickled carrots. My wife and I each ordered our usual al pastor tacos that proved to be equal or better than any in town.
