The beef is almost inedible. Dry and chalky recipeEdit for the owners: how are you possibly going to tell me that I’m wrong or try to make me feel bad for writing an honest review.I literally ate your beef and had to throw half of my meal out because it was so bone dry that I couldn’t even swallow it. Which is actually quite shocking since the rest of the burrito itself was soggy and wet.If you don’t want bad reviews, try to stop blaming your customers and stop avoiding any responsibility for your sub-par ingredients or cooking methods

I have never had guacamole or sour cream that is watery? Why is theirs? Makes so sense unless they are cheaping out while still charging a lot of money for their food! Soup cold and I don’t live far. Seems like many Nelson restaurants give short shrift if you order out! Less food. Not to mention even if you order extra avocado and pay for it you won’t get it. I was just in Mexico and there isn’t even a comparison. The Jamaica juice is bitter and tastes old. I think many locals don’t have a lot of experience with good food and that might explain the good reviews. Mexican food is not expensive so I see no excuse for this to be so substandard and EXPENSIVE! Is there actually ANY chicken in the chicken quesadillas? There is much work to do to improve the quality of the food in this restaurant. They are resting on their laurels because we live in a small town but I haven’t always and I can say with 100% certainty this food is not quality or up to par! I don’t think anyone born in Mexico would recognize it! These guys are trying to save a buck by sacrificing quality and authenticity.
Good Mexican food, two borders away! My pulled pork burrito was ample, with medium "heat" (you can ask for hotter). Staff was friendly, but this restaurant doesn't really come off as fancy - you order at the counter, and they call your name. Eat, and bus your own dishes. El Taco has good food, in a funky atmosphere at a reasonable price. Definitely worth the trip!Parking: Like everywhere in Downtown Nelson, be prepared to get your steps in - mid-afternoon I walked 400m downhill (and back to my car afterwards).

I ordered the seafood burrito bowl and my wife ordered the pulled pork burrito. Hers was mediocre at best and mine was definitely not good. If you come from a bigger city with mexican cuisine I'd highly recommend skipping this spot.

I am a very picky eater and had the plain cheese and chicken quesadillaIt was awesome. Full of flavors, not greasy and perfectCinlantro haters beware, you can taste the cilantro in the guacamoli, but they are very good to warn you it is in thereWheelchair accessibility: Can be done, but it is a very tight space inside where you order and wait for it, it would be awkward but do-able
