I want to give El Taco higher remarks. But, they take forever in the drive-thru, and mess up my order regularly.
I understand it’s not “real” Mexican. Not viewing it as such helped me enjoy it more. There are several things about this place I really enjoy. One of them is their hot salsa.

I get side eyes at the window and most importantly, the beef and beans in my burrito enchilada style were so old they were crunchy. The beef was as crunchy as a cracker.
