Taqueria El Flaco

Wow I must say it's been a while since a restaurant has impressed me and this restaurant by far did that beyond my expectations. I only had a carnitas quesadilla but the Carnitas was so amazing and the tortillas were Beyond perfect. The owners and their staff are very friendly and such a pleasant experience.

Delicious tacos, at a reasonable price are why you come, but it's the Huaraches and quesadillas that make you keep coming back. Get their special quesadilla de maiz you will not be disappointed, bring your appetite and try one of everything!

Been coming here for years . Asada burritos are the best .

The asada tacos were delicious! The service was great, cashier was was friendly! The prices were reasonable and the wait time was short. I'll definitely return to this taco truck

Great tacos! The meat was so flavorful! I had the carnitas and pastor tacos 😋 So delicious 🤤 friendly and attentive. Thank you for feeding us.We WILL be back!

Very friendly, You can Dine in or Call for take out. Normally I call for takeout. The wait time is not bad normally 10-15min but your food will be hot and fresh! Really recommend this place really good mexican food. Also they have Posole or Menudo on the weekends.

This place is well worth the money. The staff is friendly and the tacos are 🙌👍 delicious, the al pastor and cabeza were my favorite. The service was great and welcoming. I would definitely be back for more.

I Loooove The Al Pastor Burrito From Here So Much I Drive Down From Corona To Eat Here. 🤤🤤 And My Wife Loves The Huarache From Here As Well. Forsure Worth A Try

This is as close as u will get to real authentic Mexican tacos. The kind you will find in Tijuana. The best in the IE IMHO. Too bad i have to drive 30 min to come here but its totally worth it.

Friendly, very clean and great customer service. I look forward to eating here again and strongly recommend this place if you like authentic Mexican food.

Very good food... just started working in the area and I'll be returning for lunch on the regular! Nice staff and clean shop too! Highly recommend...

Some of the best tacos I’ve had in a long time!

Authentic taqueria just like you might find in LA or San Diego - generous portions. Don't go to driveway tacos - these are way better and this place is super clean. $1.99 tacos piled with meat and fresh tasting. Excellent salsa!

Went to try their Al Pastor tacos based off yelp reviews. And I'm very picky about my Al Pastor & I gave them 5 stars, it was the best I've had in Riverside so far. DEFINITELY TRY THEM, I WILL BE BUYING THEM AGAIN & AGAIN 😊🙌🌮

Love the tacos from this place ...Tuesdays and Fridays being my favorite days to go. These tacos are good. nice servings and they add these grilled onions on top. Salsa is spicy perfect for my taste. Truly recommend them. Good prices too!

Food and service was great best tripas I ever had ,I tried them last week and I had to make another trip today and I live in sb

This place really WOW’D me lol the wife looked them up on Yelp and we decided to try. Thought it was just another Mexican spot, but this place was Amazing! Friendly service and very authentic and delicious! Will be back, highly recommend.

Some of the BEST Mexican food I have ever had. If you have never been here before, it is definitely worth a visit. The Al pastor and carnitas are out of this world. So delicious and so worth the price. Don’t skip out on this place, best Mexican food in Riverside!!!!!

I spent $18.42 on 4 tacos, rice and beans, and a bottle of coke. Will I do it again maybe 🤔 Maybe not. The tacos were 🔥🔥🔥 I will go back and try a torta and see how much it cost and if I enjoy it!

The tacos are rly good. However they are nvr consistent with their prices. On Fridays the tacos are cheaper but they are not the 1.25 they advertise premium meats I guess... However sometimes they charge the 1.89 and sometimes 1.56 save your receipts. It just depends on the girl that's on the register the girl with the huge eyelashes usually does the lower price.

They definitely are like street tacos nothing special but they are cheaper then other places if you just want tacos. Thier red salsa and green definitely has flavor they are not watered down

Craving tacos, make sure to go to this place! They also have a lot of specials every day. For this plate I ordered 3 tacos and it came with rice and beans.

We've spent as a family $70 for 4 people, the torta was tasty the carnitas was juicy and well seasoned, the menudo was good very flavorful, the wet burrito was so so, the carne asada lacked flavor and the salsa was a little to acidic for my taste and the flavors just weren't there. The cheese quesadilla was just like any other nothing special there.

Went for the great reviews we saw. The beans and rice were tasty. The red salsa has a bbq taste to it which we don't like and they have it already on the tacos. The green salsa is good. We ordered the taco combo and had both asada and pastor. The pastor was super greasy and covered in marinade. The asada by itself was a bit bland.

I Googled "good tacos de lengua near me" and turns out they didn't have any lol that was the main reason for this place, but we ended up dining in. We ordered a torta de asada and pollo, tacos of buche, asada, al pastor, carnitas, tripas and cabeza, and a chicken quesadilla. The food took a while for it to come out and the place was not busy. The tortas were OK, filling but lacking flavor. The asada meat and al pastor were not good. Chicken and buche were OK, the cabeza, tripas, and carnitas were good. The quesadilla was by far the best thing the cheese was gooey and the tortilla was soft and thick. They had great music playing though! Overall we would not return a second time.

First time here, got the carnitas quesadilla, great flavor but a little on the salty side. The tacos on the other hand were very delicious and flavorful. The horchata was a little watered down as well.

Tacos were $1.15 on Tuesday, except certain meats. Good amount of meat, flavors were ok, however I like the guacamole sauce in my tacos which they did not offer. I do not like onion and they offered the option of no onion and still able to get cilantro and salsa, they didn't slap pico de Gallo on their tacos to where I would have to get a plain taco meat only. They have a lil salsa bar which had two salsas, jalapenos and carrots. Pictured are carnitas, lengua and Al pastor.

2 burritos, 2 jamaicas 28.72 a bit pricey it was good but i cant say out of here good. I mean it was beans rice and asada.

Lots of funny signs on the walls. Needs air-conditioning, badly. Uncomfortable seats but, great food. Torta de asada FTW

$9 for a bean and cheese burrito is pretty steep. Tony in riverside is under $5

I went for the grand opening . I always like their food, but I found a long piece of hair in one of my tacos! I'm not sure if it came from behind the counter or from the salsa bar. Either way I was so disgusted! I will never go back there again.

If you're coming for taco Tuesday, the cashier just informed me today that they no longer do that deal, expect to pay a hefty amount If you're making a stop here for reference: got 4 tacos, a torta and a quesadilla with a drink for 33 (all with no sides) and some change, came by specifically for the deal but it ended up costing more than just heading to my local taco spot

Food was not amazing, tacos were more like taco samples, didnt know they made tortillas that small, overpriced drinks.. more like ice in a cup with a hint of flavor.. unfortunately will not be going back
