el Taco Bar

We did take out from El Taco. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t pen out as we were anticipating. I got a steak, a chicken and a Baja fish taco. I couldn’t really tell any difference between steak and chicken, there was no real taste difference. The Baja fish was also so bland. Seemed like none of the proteins got any seasoning. The side ingredients are also just thrown in the taco, they don’t enhance any of their look or taste. The store itself is very neat, clean, and colorful. Spacious for lots of sitting area.

Another wanna be Mexican restaurant. Lack true Mexican flavor. I got the pollo asado tacos and was not impressed at all. Ended up just eating one out of 3. The only reason for others giving top ratings is cause they haven’t left Closter and experience authentic Mexican food. In addition, the gentleman taking order looks very unhappy working there. That in itself to tell you alot. Go to Chipotle instead you’ll get better flavor and service for your money. Don’t get fooled by the pictures. Good luck 🤞

Hard pass on this . Unfortunately nothing we ordered was flavorful. We left so disappointed. Came here hoping it would be somewhat similar to Los Tacos in NYC and it failed on all levels. We came specifically for the birria tacos with consome . The beef was so bland. The consome helped a little. But man it was so underwhelming. We went in at opening (11:30am) and they had put out days old Pico de gallo. You’d expect there to be fresh pico during opening hours. The worst of the worst was the chicken Taquitos, omg we literally couldn’t force ourselves to eat it. The chicken was not shredded it was in one giant piece throughout the Taquito and was so so dry, and flavorless . We had one taquito and couldn’t finish the rest. So so bad. We also ordered the loaded nachos w steak. I could count the tiny dry pieces of steak and it was under seasoned , a sad attempt at nachos. The Mexican street corn was actually quite good, the best thing I ate their but I wouldn’t go back because everything was dry and flavorless. I really had high hopes for this place and I after trying I will never recommend It unless they actually SEASON their meats and work on making the meat more tender. After having Los tacos and visiting authentic Mexican taquerias in the west this is a 2/5 . I hope they use this feedback to improve. They have all the tools to improve the food
