Reviews for El Taco in Nelson, BC
I?ve been to El Taco three times in this past 10 days and have not been disappointed. The food is delicious and is very... affordable. I have now had the tacos and burrito and they are both great but what really struck home was the tortilla soup. Thedrink menu is also wonderful - big fan of the mojitos and margaritas. The atmosphere is fun and causal. Service was friendly andfood came in good time. Great place. Read more
We love this as a quick place to stop after a long backpacking trip. It?s fairly simplistic food, but it?s fast and reliable. I... like the option for turkey chorizo. Got a cocktail for the first time and the Paloma was delicious, although I didn?t get muchrosemary flavor. I like having the different salsa options. The restaurant itself is small and charming with a very socialpatio. I?m sure we will be back. Read more
Went there for the first time for lunch. Ordered chips n salsa, chicken tacos, wife had shrimp quesadilla. Salsa was days old,... no cilantro? Chips were stale.Tacos were soggy as first layer was black beans juice included. Chicken tasted old and had greytinge to it. Looked like it was boiled and was very salty. First bite was last. Wife felt bad so she gave me half her shrimpquesadilla, opened up to check for shrimp as I didn?t taste any. In the half I had there were about 8-10 peanut sized cannedshrimp? Wish I would have read the reviews b4 hand. Waste of time and money. Will not be back. Read more
Delicious food at good prices, was recommended to try and I have zero regrets. I will eat here again no doubt about that.
Went on Canada Day long weekend and it was great, better food and value than the ?expensive? other Mexican in town. The beef... burrito was huge and flavourful, and the chipotle cheese dip was refreshing and unique. Quick service too and nice patioseating. Read more
Pretty flavorless. The "hot" sauce was like medium salsa. Not bad, per say, but just nothing special. Taco Bell has more... flavor. Also had a kids rice and beans which was barely more than a tablespoon of each for like 5 dollars. If you have a kidwho eats a lot its barely a snack. Read more
We loved this place last year. And of course, we came back this year to eat some awesome tacos, but what a disappointment! Fish... taco is tasteless with small soggy code inside. Other tacos were just ok, nothing great. I agree with some the below reviewsthat guacamole is now just a green blend without avocado taste. We won?t be back again till I see the owner taking action tobring food quality back. Read more
Don?t bother. Flavourless and missing key ingredients, nothing special. I got the veggie burrito - it claims to have guac and... pico, absolutely none of these ingredients were present (and no mention that they wouldn?t be included). Just some beans,cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Don?t order the chips and salsa either - salsa is hardly a salsa, it almost felt dry - justsome chopped tomatoes with a couple other ingredients, but again.. flavourless. Read more
