I'm a fierce and loyal Mexican foodie. I'll drive or walk thousands of miles for an excellent taco, burrito, etc. ENTER el taco riendo. Recommended by one of the workers at a thrift store daughter and I shopped at. Off we go! Wow! First, it's literally a hole in the wall and man, I'm feeling lucky! Always, always the best places! We order and of course, over order. The guacamole is chunky with tomatoes, garlic and cilantro-the avocado flavor is perfectly balanced! Smooth taste with the obvious homemade chips! SWOON! My tostado is Mexican style with onions, cilantro and Carne. The meat is uber tender and falls apart in my mouth as it melds with the corn tortilla and other ingredients. The taco? ☺️ WOW. the best one I had was at a beach shack on cozumel. This is 2nd. Again, Mexican style. The onions don't overpower the rest and never leaves a hot taste. THE SALSA? 2 kinds. The red one is a soft burn (like LA Estrella) but stays foe your next bite. The green is mild and feel your tongue do a happy dance! My Modelo Especial was icy cold-PERFECT! Daughters tamale was soft, doughy and so flavorful with the chicken it was insane (at least she shared unlike hubby). This place may look shabby but it's very clean. The service is quick and food is inexpensive. We ordered a boatload of food and it was a total of 30.00!!!! If you're a Mexican food snob, this place will NOT disappoint!

Ordered from Door Dash last night and loved it! It got to us so fast and the carné asada burritos were delicious. More than enough food and also very affordable. Will definitely be back to try more menu items!

Taco Riendo is an authentic taco shop that will scratch the itch for food South of the border. They have a simple menu but delicious food. I frequent here whenever I am craving a (big) burrito.

One of my favorite places to get a burrito. I’ve had a veggie burrito here (and at their location in Crystal) probably… 30-40 times? I get horchata occasionally, too. So tasty. Such consistent quality of food and service. Super reasonably priced. ?

The owner is very disrespectful and rude plus he hates Ecuadorians

Order, sit down, blink, your food is there. You're going to get full before you finish. The burritos are huge. Wash it down with a bottle of Jarritos.
