Really bad experience. We’ve been a couple of times and it was mediocre at best but today was awful. Ordered the nacho special… they microwaved chips with cheese and rubbery chewy«meat». The whole thing was a greasy flavorless mess. It’s in the trash as well as the menu. Save yourself and try someplace else.

LOVE their guacamole! SO fresh! I have picky eaters in my family, but not when it comes to this place. We never have leftovers.

The burritos are YUCK. Gristly, greasy, bad flavor. Meats are dirt quality. Other ingredients not balanced either. I threw mine away.

Good food if you don’t mind going back 3 times for them to get a simple order right…

Great service, great food! Second time this month I’m here. The chicken taco salad is delicious.

I’ve been avoiding this place for at least 6 years, as the food was so meh. Burritos filled primarily with lettuce, food like Chevy’s: Americanized and bland. The first indicator of a bad Mexican restaurant is the default presence of lettuce on the tacos. Anyway, I was in the neighborhood and chose to take a flyer on Señor Tacos today. Called ahead for 3 chicken tacos, cilantro and onion. Guy says 5 – 10 minutes. I get there 10 minutes later and they hadn’t made it yet, despite only about 5 people inside. No biggie. I’ll watch some NBA talk while I wait. Paid the surprising $ 7.50ish and went to chow. Sure enough, 3 chicken tacos with lettuce, tomato, and cheese, and two very bland salsas. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Here’s a thought: if you operate a Mexican restaurant, make the tacos Mexican-style, and only drop a salad on top if the customer asks for it. Bam! If you’re just hungry, do as I will certainly do and stick with the taco special at Los Laureles. Huge, hot grilled tacos and a cola for a full buck less than this suburban shack. And please, please call ahead. The locals jam that place at lunchtime.

This place is my favorite for guacamole. It’s so fresh and the texture is perfect. It’s not the goopy, uniform purée I’ve found in a lot of other places. They leave a few nice chunks of avocado just how I like it. Lots of cilantro, too. I ordered one asada taco and two lengua tacos. In terms of Mexican restaurants, guacamole and lengua tacos are pretty much how I decide whether or not to visit regularly because lengua is my favorite and I’ve seen them way overcooked or under-seasoned many times before. The steak was very good. Seasoned just right, tender enough with a little bit of chew. I’m not a huge fan of steak tacos generally, but I was curious because I know it’s standard fare for most people. The lengua was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. It was meaty without being tough, and tender without basically being pudding. I’ve seen both happen, and I’ve also seen lengua chopped into such large cubes that it’s near impossible to fold the tortilla. These tacos were perfect. I would like to add that Señor Taco’s offers the option of cilantro/onion on your tacos as opposed to the iceberg lettuce/tomato we see at a lot of places that cater to the severely Americanized – something maybe one wouldn’t expect from the lighthearted, kitschy name. I’m a total cilantro addict, so this bodes well for me. They also make the tortilla chips in-house, with each order! It’s just salty, fatty, crunchy goodness. Perfect with the guacamole. The food is wonderful, but part of why I want to give them a five star rating is the customer service. The guy at the front is just sweet and wants you to leave happy. The first time I went there, there was a rush of customers and I could see that the kitchen was busy. I bought a carne al pastor dinner(also delicious!) with guacamole, but didn’t see it in my bag when I got home. Normally I’m not the kind of person to call a restaurant for anything besides takeout, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t charged. The guy confirmed that I hadn’t been(I did the math too), and promised a free order of guacamole next time I came in. Now, anyone with a brain should have the common sense and decency to think about what goes on in the kitchen on a daily basis when they order food and make complaints. I’ve worked in food service. I’m not at a restaurant anymore, but I’m still a pink collar worker and it sucks. When tickets pile up, stuff sometimes happens. The people making your food are not computers. It’s how the staff handles the issue that matters. The fact that this guy was so polite to me on the phone(which was probably still during a lunch rush) and then promised to compensate for something I didn’t even have to pay for? That was really nice of him. And then when I went in today, he remembered me and offered to give me the guacamole for free, or a drink or something. It was completely unnecessary because I would probably put up with a terrible attitude just to get my hands on their awesome food anyway, but it’s definitely noteworthy. I don’t know if he just works there or runs the place, but he’s a legit dude. I will definitely be back for my next taco craving.

My and my family’s favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. Tacos, steak chimichanga, salsa and nacho are always good.

One of my favorite Mexican spots. Great authentic food. I always get the steak burrito and it’s amazing. Free chips and salsa when you dine in although they do to give you that many. Love this place.

Tried the steak burrito for lunch today. Only cheese, onions, and cilantro were added. Unfortunately the meat used in the burrito was very bland and lacked even basic seasoning. Both green and red salsa were brought to my table. The green salsa was probably the least hot of any I’ve ever had. The red was ok. Overall a very disappointing meal. Somewhat surprising that such bland food would be served in a Mexican restaurant. I will not be back.

Meh, it was ok. Tacos a little pricey for the size(I guess compared to the local small Mexican restaurants that I’m used to going to) but it tasted ok. Nothing spectacular.

Forget it, very passable Mexican food, not recommended– stopped by during the RM car show, won’t go back.

nobody was in this place the while time we were there, which should’ve served as a red flag. however, I was hungry and wanted to try out something local. I highly doubt I’ll be back here, unless I’m literally starving. I came in a few weeks ago and ordered the eggs and ham. it was seriously disgusting. the eggs are supposed to be scrambled, which means cooked for a few minutes. they were runny and gross and not cooked at all. I ended up trying to pick out what was salvageable. the rice was halfway decent, but how do you screw up eggs? the only thing that was good here, were the chips and salsa. however, they give you the most ridiculous serving of salsa. it was the equivalent of one tablespoon… what??why??how? makes no sense… stay away… there are way too many other good choices out there, with better food and prices.

My husband took me to «Señor’s» on one of our first dates almost 9 years ago. We love this taqueria in the burbs for take-out or sit down. Everything from the pico and guac to steak tacos, tamales, and tostadas is delicious!

Great little Mexican Restaurant tucked into a small strip mall. The prices aren’t bad and the food is very good. My boyfriend and I like to go there and get their steak tacos.

The good: the free chips and salsa are some of the best I’ve had. The salsa has the perfect amount of spice and flavor and is tomatoey without having a watery consistency and the chips are super yummy. The quesadillas are amazing and my hubs and I both decided that is what we would get next time. Easy to get in and get out The not so good: The burritos have next to no flavor and are watery, loosely packed therefore totally fell apart on me. They are stingy with the chips and salsa. Why? Sad panda. Overall, a decent lunch spot. Find what you like and stick to it.

This place is decent. Good, authentic Mexican grub. That pretty much sums it up.

Ordered 2 steak tacos. Steak was grissly and lacked much flavor. People are very nice there. I will give them another go some day.

It is what is it. Good, authentic Mexican food for about the same price as going to the Taco Bell in the next lot. There’s nothing special to write about this divey restaurant located in a tiny strip mall other than the fact they give you homemade chips and salsa, free refills, when you dine in. You can also save yourself a dollar by ordering the small drink. They’re kind enough to give you free refills of Coke products too!

I don’t go here as much as I did in HS but I would always get a chicken burrito and it never fails, you get complementary chips and salsa if you dine in, the chips are deep fried so they’re nice and crispy they are pretty addicting! If you’re in the area and want some Mexican food don’t go to taco bell go to señors!
