Taqueria El Campesino — Restaurant in Montgomery

This place was recommended by one of our contractors. First of all, don't be turned off by the exterior. Upon walking in I knew it was going to be good. Authentic Mexican restaurant decor. Music and all. They have a good variety of different Mexican cervezas. They have a large menu. If you don't speak or read Spanish, pull out your Google translator because it is not in English. Most of it is self explanatory by the pictures. Chips and salsa were good. I ordered the molcajete and he ordered 4 tacos: al pastor, pollo, asada y camarone. All 4 came with the double corn tortillas, onions, cilantro, lime, radish and cucumber. The way it should be. My molcajete was filled with shrimp, pork, chicken, beef and shrimp. It also has a roasted pepper, chorizo, Mexican green onions, avocado and cactus. It also came with bean and rice and warm corn tortillas. I have to say, their tortillas are really good. I wouldn't be surprised if they made them fresh on site. Our food came out hot!! Our server was friendly. It's a good thing I speak enough Spanish to communicate. We are definitely...

This place is my FAVORITE taqueria! Located in a little hole in the wall with a Mexican grocery store attached to it. Very traditional, I’ve been coming here for the past 2 years every drill when I’m in Montgomery. My favorite things to get is their orange agua fresca/ (or horchata if they have it) and the quesa birria combo! Comes with three birria tacos that are a great size and perfectly crispy on the outside and cheesy/meaty of the inside, a side of rice, and the best consumé! All for $11.99 and I love putting the onions/cilantro and lime that it comes with in the consumé, and adding their salsa roja that’s super spicy as well.

Top tier food! Their street tacos are also my fave considering how cheap they are! Under $3 and they campechano which is hard to find sometimes. Very traditional and authentic in flavor and experience. (You know the food is going to be good when the staff doesn’t speak much...

From the area around this place, the state of the building from the outside, and even the look of things on the inside (like stained ceilings and exposed hvac systems) you may get a bad impression of this place if you weren't trying the food or interacting with the staff. However, this place has so much charm and amazing food that it is definitely one of the best, if not the best, authentic Mexican restaurant in Montgomery. I think 'El Chido' is also really great. I love the mural on the wall with a guy in a hammock smoking a cigar. The staff are incredible. Most of the people that I've interacted with speak both English and Spanish. I would say there's a fair mix of different people who come here, but regardless of their background or primary language, their is always such a friendly, laid back, peaceful vibe from the customers. And the food is AMAZING. It seems to be very authentic and...
