El Taquito Drive-In

Best Chile Verde I have had in A Long Time. I have also had the Carne asada burrito, it’s Very Good. I recommend this place to All my Family and Friends.
The service is Exceptional, as well.

This has to be one of the best Mexican food places,
i have been coming here for over 20yrs. the food
has always been great.

Great authentic Mexican food. Try the COLTON Fire department burrito for a real treat.

This is absolutely one of my favorite places to go to in Colton. I have been going here since I was a kid and I have only had one bad experience, but it was raining that day so I let that go. I’m just glad to take ATM now

I have been coming to this place for quiet a few years and the food and service is great

Have heard a lot of good things about this place and I finally got a Chance to try it. I ordered the shredded beef tacos and the chicken taquitos. The shredded beef tacos were good but the chicken taquitos not so much, the flavor in the taquitos wasn’t good and neither was the guacamole. Based on those items I can say this place is overhyped.

My family and I eat here every Friday. The food is good and authentic. Their shredded beef tacos are yummy and Taquitos are the bomb.

So yummy!!!

I’m not exactly sure why everyone says this is good food. First off, if you’re going to specialize in mexican food, how can you sell guacamole thats not even made fresh. Straight from a frozen bag. You’re better off getting that fake stuff premade from costco. Having just move to the inland empire I’ve been searching out where there is decent authentic local mexican food. Unfortunately this is not the place. I feel sorry for everyone who raves that this place is great to eat at and saying that they grew up on this food. I wouldnt be proud to call this place my go-​to spot for eats, or even recommend a friend to eat here. Given if you were drunk off your ass and this was the only place around, well then sure. But in no way was this place good or deserving pf 4 & ½ stars.
I tried the Carne Asada burrito and the chicken taco. For the price they charge why in god sakes are they using ingredients from a bag (like the guac. Make it fresh! It’s not hard, and would make an incredible difference). The super market down the street probably sells avocados at a really cheap rate.
Carne Asada Burro was bland and nothing appealing about the flavors. Chicken taco which is more like a fried wonton was just ok but it was smothered in that fake guac sauce which made it less than desirable.
Overall the food sucks but the lady at the window was cool. More money down the drain and the search continues for some authentic Mexican food with fresh ingredients!
If you see this place just keep on moving cause you’ll only be disappointed.
FYI they dont even have carnitas but they serve burgers. The name says el taquito which would lead you to think that Mexican food is their specialty. Wrong! If you like chum then you should eat here. Otherwise steer clear.

First bite, found a BONE in my chicken taco. I’ve been eating here since I was a kid. Still the best! If you want great Mexican food at a great price this is the spot. Try the chicken tacos with guacamole, my absolute favorite! Hopefully without a bone, that’s why I gave it 3 stars, gross.

Very good. Shredded beef tacos are my favorite and the chile verde is hot and tasty. I give 5 stars to the hot sauce alone. It’s so good. Love this place

This is my favorite hole-​in-​the-​wall Mexican joint. My family has eaten here forever. I grew up on this food. It reminds me of love and comfort. I def. have a biased opinion when it comes to this place. The best chicken tacos. The bean and cheese is heavy and full of flavor. The combo number one is a taste of everything good on their menu. The combination pork is spicy and filling. There hot sauce is so good you could drink it straight. The bean and cheese, combination pork, chicken tacos, and hot sauce are Key.

Carne Asada fries are thee best I’ve ever eaten … fresh, hot, and great service… will definitely be going back again …

The chicken tacos stole the show! You gotta eat here! I’ve been coming here for years. Try the cheese enchiladas, ground beef tacos, and chicken tacos. The chicken tacos are where it’s at tho! I never get chicken anything from nowhere. But my dad recommend the chicken tacos. Best chicken tacos of my life! So juicy! So much flavor! El taquito your the best!

I have only been here a couple times and I really enjoyed their food. Randomly found this place on Unilocal with filter set to ‘distance’ and noticed this taco shop is known for their shredded beef tacos.
It was super easy to find this place since its located off of Mt. Vernon. I placed my order for their shredded beef tacos as well as enchiladas since I had a crave.
Shredded beef tacos were fanstastic! Their crunchy, hard taco shells were very good. It was not too greasy as I worried. It had a very good amount of shredded beef in there with a lot of lettuce and shredded cheese to complement the taco itself. To add, it also had a tomato wedge on top which I like to eat after my taco to kind of get rid of any greasy/​oily taste that is left in my mouth.
What really surprised me was their enchilada. I’m also a big fan of enchiladas and their chicken enchiladas were amazing. It was probably one of the best enchiladas I had in my life. I really like the sauce on top, even though I dont really enjoy eatig sauces, and their enchilada also had a good amount of chicken in them. The melted cheese and the enchilada sauce was very mouth watering and it was just delicious, period.
The guy working at the counter is very quick and nice. He definitely knows how to handle things. Even with the lines of people waiting he was able to handle things well in timely manner.
I will definitely come here for tacos and enchiladas when I am in the area.

This place is always deelish! I highly recommend ordering the Garbage burrito beef and also the shredded beef tacos are the bomb! The food has been good and trust me I’ve been going here since I was a little girl.

It’s delicious. This is my favorite mexican food. The pork is maybe a tad too spicy, but it’s still great. Prices are fair. I want to try everything on the menu eventually.

Why would anyone rate a Mexican food stand based on «service»? Idiots! You go here for the food and the food is amazing, always has been. Plus the prices are cheap and you get large portions.

Love the El Taquito… My family has been coming here since before I was born. Chicken tacos, enchiladas and bean burritos are my favorite

Mmmmmmmm! El Taquito the all pork homemade tortilla burrito WOW it’s. A bomb.
I stop at least once a week after work. For around 10 years.
