Taco Exxpress #7 — Restaurant in Elk Grove

So I wanted to try something different as I am on a quest to find decent old school taco shop style food what I remember in southern California location.. first off location is decent the shop being located next to and attached to a gas station was not a issue, you find some of the best food locations are in a non desirable location. I took the drive thru lady was ok nice who took my order didn't talk to much she was small tall right to the point..I order a full order of carne Asad fries.. which came out total to 14.48 I picked up my order and left.. I did. Ot like if paying by card first thing displayed on the handheld screen if you want to tip or not (no thank you).. but hey they all are doing it. As you can see you photo fries are small for what you pay. Not your usual full order of asada fries.. comes with meat, cheese, sour cream and guacamole.. the guacamole is more of a green sauce not guacamole. The asada was basic meat not really season nor off a grill seemed to be more skillet cooked.. to sum it up only reason I gave two stars was for the food being hot which took them maybe 3-5mins tops to bring to me so I appreciate them.l making it fresh to microwave order... if your out late maybe need to sober up and fight that buzz a quick drunk type food I guess this is your place. But if not leave alone and move on...

One of my favorite taco places, but I'm not going back to this one. At first I was happy to see they had a location in elk Grove close to my work. On my lunch break I went to grab a carne asada fries, they just happened to be on special that day. I was disappointed that the person taking orders in the Drive-Thru refused to add pico to the fries. She was kind of rude and very adamant about there being no modifications to the specials. Told me I had to pay full price if I wanted pico until I suggestedI that I buy a small side, so that's what I did. I understand not wanting to change the specials but I didn't think fresh salsa or Mexican food would be that much of a stretch. Had I gone inside to place my order I could have added my own pico. It's weird how something so small can make you not want to go...

Taco Express in Elk Grove is a MUST-TRY! I've lost count of how many times I've been here, and it's consistently fantastic. This place is my go-to for a quick, clean, and delicious meal. The food is always incredibly fresh, cooked to order, and absolutely amazing – all at very reasonable prices. My favorite is the combo meal are the two Birria Tacos with beans and rice!

But what truly sets Taco Express apart is the exceptional staff. They are all so friendly, with kind smiling faces. The chefs even remember me, and always make a point to say a quick hello. I always feel like a VIP here; the staff treats everyone so warmly. My goal is to try everything on the menu! For those in a hurry, they also have a drive-thru with the full menu available. Great job, Taco Express team! Keep up the...
