      A little hidden gem. Fast service and affordable tacos. I love that they serve a half portion of the carne asada fries (I don't find this a lot!) so I was able to try that along with the mini street tacos.

      The only disappointing part was they didn't have limes the day we visited. Food was good without it but it's always better with the limes.

      Can't wait to be back!

      Parking: It has a tiny lot (3 ish spots), but there's also street parking.

      I went around 1pm on a weekday, there wasn't any lunch time rush, so my service was quick! Didn't wait longer than 5 minutes. I took my food to go, but the inside is very much like all taco shops. I would say avoid weekdays around 3:45pm to avoid the high school crowds. The California Burrito was pretty good. The cheese and sour cream made it flavorful, so it's a solid burrito. Would definitely try some of their other dishes!

      Been here twice so far. The first time was just on a whim to find a quick bite to eat but I was astonished at how good it was I hyped it up to my wife to try. To make sure that it wasn't just because I was hungry that day and it was as I remembered I took her here, and I can confirm its honestly one of the best burrito/taco shops around.
      I can honestly recommend their California burrito to anybody and know that they'll enjoy it - not to mention it's hugeee. It's filled with carne asada, fries, pico and sour cream.
      Their crispy tacos are amazing and can recommend the shredded beef taco as a great addition to the burrito.
      The only downside is that their parking lot consists of 3 spots - 6 if you squeeze cars in and can be a bit of a hassle to park but it shouldn't discourage you from trying this place out.

      TacoMan puts a half a fish In that taco! A half a damn animal!!! No joke... order two and you are taking down an entire creature... taco Tuesday rolls around, you and a couple buddies damn near empty out the whole birch aquarium. it's not like those pre formed sanitized stamped out mass production fish patty like experience.. TacoMan tacos are super crispy I was wishing I ordered more.
      The adobado taco I did order was kinda sinewy in all the wrong ways. There was a a little too much tendon and non edible bits and crunchy animal things mixed up in there for me to feel comfortable going full fat kid on it... I picked out a few choice morsels and felt nostalgic for the fish taco that left my life too quickly. I'll give the ocean a week or so to prepare for my next visit. I will be coming hungry

      They catered our baby shower. The food was delicious, and we got many compliments saying how much everyone enjoyed the tacos. They were very professional, and were right on time. They had great communication throughout the whole process.

      I had the Carne Asada tacos. Although there wasn't anything terrible about it, there really wasn't anything thing that stood out. Service was friendly, place was fairly clean. A small cozy taco shops with other options available besides just Tacos. Not bad.

      We decided to come here for a late lunch! I was so hungry! I got a monster California burrito which was so filling. It had meat, rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. I actually ate the whole burrito along with a few bites from my daughter. Lol! The only complaint I had was the tortilla was kind of cold. To drink, I drank a raspberry iced since the only had Pepsi products. Food was tasty.

      The inside is fairly small and there are only three parking stalls up front. Luckily we found a spot. There was a movie playing inside. The guy working up front was nice enough to play Boss Baby for my daughter. Really nice of him to do. My daughter ate her food while watching the movie. Inside was clean.

      I had come here before but parking was impossible so we ended up leaving. We finally came at a time when there was a parking spot available. That is also the only negative coming here. Parking is hard to find. I would come back if we are in the area.

      One of the best Horchatas I've ever had! The staff are super friendly, prices are good, street tacos are delicious, and place seems very clean. I will definitely be returning!

      I tried out Taco Man for the first time and the experience wasn't anything to write home about. We ordered:
      5 rolled tacos with everything
      Surf n turf burrito
      Half order of carne asada fries
      Street tacos - adobada (2 orders)

      The asada meat was a bit in the salty side.
      The rolled tacos must have been delish cause my son ate them in seconds!
      Half order of fries were a good amount but again meat was on the salty side.
      Adobada tacos I didn't care for.

      Once you've had street tacos from Tacos El G, it's hard for other street tacos to be at their level of deliciousness!!! No one yet has better street tacos than Tacos El G!

      Daniel our cashier/server was amazing with customer service! It's a very small venue so don't bring a large crowd! Parking sucks as well!!! Since we were dining in Daniel served us some piping hot fresh chips with cotija cheese which was a very nice touch!
