El Neno Tacos & Tortas — Restaurant in Janesville

My friend and I wanted to try a place we had never been to before. So, we stopped by here on the way home. Our host was very nice. She explained very well how the food was prepared. I ordered a taco with pork and a Gordita with chicken minus the beans. My friend ordered beans and rice. We also had chips and salsa. The chips tasted fresh like they were just made. My friend really liked her beans. My taco was delicious and stuffed with plenty of meat. The pineapple strips on top were a great addition. My gordita was very good, the cilantro tasted very fresh. My friend and I were both very happy with the food, but also our host was very gracious, friendly and helpful. Some of the reviews I have read mention a high price for the food. $3.50 for a taco may seem a bit high, but the taco had three times the meat that you would get from other taco places. Also, all of the food tasted like it was freshly prepared and very filling. Definitely will come...

i ordered a torta steak/asada w a burrito asada/steak w rice and beans on the side 29$ they are buggin i still had to add a 4 dollar tip. their red sauce is not good its too watered down and when i dipped it, it was strong spices watered down w a red food coloring. (opinion that's just how it tasted) i do not recommend this restaurant unless you have money you don't care about. it was okay portions i guess made it okay, but you are better off making this on your own. nothing special about this place its just a mexican restaurant to appeal to those who aren't associated to the culture. i ordered 3 small items for nearly 10$ a piece excluding tip I ordered to go. do not go here if you have $30 better off making this on your own. you would be better off buying $10 roses from the tent vendors, and using the remaining 24 bucks to cook for your loved one. makes it more thoughtful and...

Atmosphere and service..

Great spot. Graffiti tacos on door and windows was different. Once inside I feel I was immersed into a Mexican town. With hip spanish music playing and videos on screen. Then with Mexican style streamers on ceiling. Store was was very clean. Once inside I was immediately greeted. My server was very friendly, nice, and helpful, and patient.

Now the food...

I ordered Gordita, campechano (steak and chorizo) taco, and a quesa birria. Got hibiscus Aguas Frescas. Came with chips n salsa.

My personal favorite of everything was the Campechano taco. But every was very fresh and good. Flavors really blended together very well. I personally not fan of salsa but thats due to me personally not being a fan of cube tomatoes. But they was big enough to push aside. Hibiscus Agua Fresca was great and delicious. Overall very satisfied and would...
