El Super Taco

I’ve been here a few times and tried a couple of different things. I like the asada tacos, quesadilla, and torta. I was not impressed with the nachos. The guacamole salsa is bomb! and so are the fresh waters.

This place is amazing. I have lived in this neighborhood my whole life and have witnessed many places in this location, el super taco is by far the best. Always yummy.

Soooo Yummy!!! It’s probably one of my favorites and my go-​to place when I know I wan’t great food. The food is good, always consistent and clean. The chilaquiles with chorizo is the best!!! And the Carne Asada Tacos… OMG. I’m getting hungry again. LOL
The owner is super nice and it’s a great place!

Clean place fast service a little to expensive for location but great taste so makes it worth it, self serve salsas i had there chiken quesadia was very delicious

Burrito had too little meat and the rice was not that great. Tacos were way too small as well.

Love this place and it’s amazing hot sauce! They have their own Habanero Sauce that I crave and pour all over my burrito. I almost always get the El Super Burrito Al Pastor and you can’t go wrong! mmmm

I want to like this restaurant more because it is located near my work and it seems like some authentic Mexican food. However, there are little things that keep it from being 4 or 5 stars.
I usually only really care about the food, cuz that’s what you go for, but I could tell that the cleanliness could’ve been improved. I just got back from lunch. Several of the tables could’ve been cleared and wiped down. To be fair, I only noticed three people behind the counter, and it was lunch, so they were busy.
I’ve been here a few times now, and each and every time I leave I get the same, «that was okay,» feeling. I just got a torta de tinga, which is a shredded chicken with chipotle. The meat itself had good flavor. But the ingredients included were not fresh. The tomato was green and the avocado was mushy. The bread was okay but it was too spongy for my preference. The chips that they gave us were stale. The salsas are decent. My coworker got the sopes de asada and she wasn’t impressed. She is Hispanic so I trust her haha. She said they used yellow cheese, which is not the way to go, and cabbage instead of lettuce. The asada was average too — which I would have to agree with.
I’ve had the tacos before, and those are the best things they have. I like the quesadillas too. The rice and beans are average. Haven’t had the burritos yet, those are next. Salsa bar is cool, I like the avocado salsa.
If you are in the area and want some Mexican food it would be worth a visit, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here. Get the tacos, those are good. I feel like depending on what you order you can either get something that you really like, or something that will disappoint you.

I was in the mood for a taco. But unfortunately I did not get to try this place. I ordered my food, but they did not make it for me. I was driving by, place looked like it was good, reviews are ok. Too bad I did not get to try it. I was the only customer in the store, because it was 2pm. Most of the tables were dirty with plates on them, so that was already not a good sign. But I decided to try it. The owner seemed toto seem to be having a meeting at one of the tables. I waited at the counter for a few minutes and then he got up and asked me if I wanted to order. I ordered from him and then he went back to his meeting. I got a Veggie burrito which was probably rice, beans, avocado, which were probably all ready to just be scooped onto a tortilla. There was no one else in the kitchen or restaurant. So I started to wonder who was going to make my food. I waited about five minutes for my food but I did not see anyone in the kitchen making it, so then I told him that if he was too busy that it was fine, so he polite said okay and gave me my money back. I can’t say he was rude or the place was not good, because I did not get to try it, but I think they need to work on making that food if they want to keep making those millions… I will not be back. I did go down the street to Dinah’s and that was pretty good…

Its a cool little spot if your planning on having your car repaired at American Tires. Menudo is good. Parking is great and just accross from the Westfield Mall so you can shop right after. There is not much more to say but that the place atmosphere is nice and welcoming, food and parking is good. What more can we ask for right? The reason I didn’t give it a 5 star is because this was my first time and only had one dish. I will reconsider my star rating upon future visits.

They were so generous with their stale chips. The food came quick — they must have a fast microwave. The burrito was good but got a torta cubana. It came with black beans and ham. I feel like the guy gave me whatever he felt like making. The dude was not friendly overall bad experience don’t come here if they offer you chips watch out they may be left out from last week.

Shit service with an attitude. Food is a let down your better off making what they sell at home (tastes way better)

Great breakfast machaca burrito. .extra cheese no beans is the way to go. Awesome salsa bar too.

Sparkling clean. Easy parking. My menudo is hot, fresh, and delish. It seems very authentic. There is a salsa bar. They have a large catering menu.

Manejaba por el área y decidí comer aquí. No me arrepiento, las Flautas de pollo deliciosas!!! Precio muy bueno, el personal súper amable. Definitivamente regresaré a este lugar

$ 1.25 tacos turns El Super Taco into El Super Cheap Taco. It ain’t fancy. It ain’t really super. It’s cheap. It’s super cheap.
I tried tres tacos and all three were simple soft tortilla and meat. If you want toppings like onions, cilantro, or salsa, then add them at the small Salsa Bar.
$ 1.25 Tacos
— Lengua: Soft chunks of beef tongue … simple
— Carnitas: Ok slices of pork
— Al Pastor: Colorful pork, but a little light on flavor
El Super Taco is in an quiet strip mall near Jefferson & Sepulveda. You’ve probably driven by it a 1000 times. Parking is free and the soft tacos are cheap. When you’re eating alone and want some fast Mexican food without any fuss at a low price near the Culver City Mall, then check out El Super Cheap Taco.

These people act like they care! Quality food, nice people. Even said goodbye and thank you!
I had the Asada plate tender and excellent.
I will be back to try more things.

After driving by this place for years, I stopped in tonight for dinner. I was swayed by a picture of the salsa bar here on Unilocal.Salsa is often the deciding factor on whether or not a Mexican restaurant is a keeper.
I ordered the enchilada combo with chicken enchiladas. The sauce on the enchiladas was kind of different, and I didn’t really care for it. The chicken was decent. The serving of rice was okay but the beans were only about half a serving. The salsa was good, which makes me want to go back and try something different.
My to go order did not come with chips, which is pretty unusual and kind of a negative. I’m not sure if this is standard or if they just forgot.

I’m not sure how this place has this many stars. Giving the benefit of the doubt, we went on a Sunday night, so maybe that had something to do with it. The taco’s were terrible, even the chips were stale. Carnitas was super dry, pastor was mediocre at best as was the asada & that’s being really nice. Basically we were super hungry, reluctantly choked down two tacos & ended up taking the rest home to the dog. if you’re in the mood for taco’s, go ANYWHERE else in la.
One star for service & being open late on a Sunday.

Excellent, well-​priced Mexican food with a Oaxacan twist.
I have been coming almost here every week since I first started working in Culver City, and at this point have explored the majority of the (lunch) menu. The food is consistent, and the service is prompt, efficient, and friendly. You’ll find most of your favorite Mexican standards, including tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, as well as some of the lesser seen ones like Alambre, Clayudas, Mole Negro, and Mexican soups. They also have a wide range of meats to choose from, including standards like Pollo, Carnitas, Asada Beef, and Chorizo, as well as some more exotic choices (Cabesa, Lingua, Buche, etc).
The plates are a particularly good choice. A bit more pricey (they hover around $ 10), but significantly more food. For something lighter (emphasis on the «er», not the «light»), try a burrito, tacos, or enchiladas. They also serve Mole Negro (a thick, Mayan-​inspired, sweet-​savory-​spicy cocoa sauce), poured over either chicken or burrito.
El Super Taco has gone so far as to redefine some of the dishes I grew up eating. Case in point: I was always under the impression that soft tacos were culinarily superior to hard shell tacos. That is until, on a whim, I tried their Hard Shell Taco combo. When the dish came out, the tacos were literally still steaming and moist with grease. THIS is how hard shell tacos were meant to be enjoyed: straight out of the kitchen, never out of a bag.
Don’t let the word «grease» scare you, though. El Super Taco has just enough of the grittiness that every good Mexican restaurant should have, but just enough class to keep you coming back. Sure, it may not be the healthiest choice, but my goodness is it satisfying. Just what you need when your appetite beckons for a little extra push to get you through the day.
Oh, and one thing I finally figured out that had me confused for a while: anything with «Combo» in the name comes with a drink. Anything else (even the dishes with «Plate» in the name) does not.
«I think you guys have the best Mexican food in town,» I once told the cashier.
«Si, I think so too,» he replied. And he wasn’t kidding.
Recommended dish: Hard Shell Taco Combo w/​Horchata
Or, for the super hungry, the Carne Asada Plate.

First of all, if you order fried tacos we can never be friends. Never.
Tacos are meant to be served on small, steamed corn tortillas with fresh onions and cilantro. Topped with El Super Taco’s amazing avocado salsa, it becomes something to savor. I usually stick with three tacos, but I could definitely see myself competing for the house record if I lost self control. Really good, simple, authentic mexican food.
The super nachos are enough for two people and will satisfy everyone.
Nothing fancy, and not refined, but the flavors are great in the asada, carnitas, and the salsa bar is the best in town. Literally.

I’m on the hunt to find a little place that’s both authentic, delicious no matter what’s ordered, and not one of the big chains. With such a great name of El Super Taco, I couldn’t hold back any longer. Seems authentic (all mexi in and out). Looks good. Smells good. Tastes meh. Disappointing. Well, the hunt continues.
Not a long line for lunch, 2 – 5 people max inside, but a pretty decent size mini-​mall space holds 15 – 20 tables. A small salsa bar captured my attention, but I had one thing in mind — tacos of the fried kind.
Fried tacos are both art and science. The taco has to be crisp, but not too crisp. It must also be fried to order. Unfortunately, the ones served here, on the day of my culinary experiences — the shells were hard as rocks. Thick, and the chicken inside did not make up for what the outside lacked. Man can not live on chopped tomato and lettuce, albeit, tasty.
After all, if put Taco in your name… especially with Super in it, you better bring it. Perhaps other things would be okay, but with so many places to try… not sure if I’d return again to El not-​so-​Super Taco.
