3 Reviews for El Taco No 17
No need to fuck around with the extensive menu here, or the drive thru only accessible from 9th street. Parking sucks!! Getting into takes a GPS device.
The only way to truly enjoy the Mexican menu that this "El Taco" has to offer is to show some balls and walk up to the Pacific Ave walk up window.
Be warned that alhough they do offer a few outdoor dining benches, you're in the hood and if you can't handle your ass, all bets are off as far as safety goes and you're on your own! Especially after sunset.
In my case, I was waiting for my kid in a nearby, "be a good boy facility" with plenty of time to waste. And after eyeing down the local heathens watching me make a bank transaction at WaMu a few blocks away, and the sun still bright, I decided to give this joint a shot for a small filler before a later dinner excursion a few hours later.
I have to say I wasn't disappointed. I ididn't want a full meal, just a fucking taco. The same they've been serving since 1958. The menu here is extensively Mexican and that ground beef taco and water I ordered was great, so much so that I took my kid there after his penance for his $.1.50 version of the same.
Hard shell, seasoned ground beef with lettuce and cheese. Simple, cheap and very tasty. I would have ordered 3 or 4 if it wasn't for my dinner engagement very soon after.
If in the area and not afraid of drunks on "Bum Wines" I suggest trying it out. The taco I had was the shit and could become addictive.
A must try for all you "taco bums". Just hit this place while the sun is still up. Enjoy

Best drive-thru breakfast burrito in Pedro. They only serve it until 11 AM. Good potatoes, and really great salsa make it kick ass. Their packaged hot sauce is really good, worth tucking away at home.
The intercom here will exercise your communication skills.
I'm not too keen on anything here besides the breakfast burritos, but their food is standard Mexican fare.
the intercom is horrible in the drive thru!!
so be careful because your order may be wrong. the cheese quesadillas are worth it though. fresh flour tortillas make this my favorite. maybe the walk up window is a better choice.
