I've always wanted to try this restaurant every time I pass by on Oso Blanca Road, or if I happen to be in the same plaza this restaurant is in. Needless to say, my interest was increasing during the last several months until recently, I finally got to try this restaurant for the first time. My family and I ate here on 29 Mar 2024 and I'd say overall, I "liked" this restaurant. When we walked in, we were greeted very nicely by the two employees located at the front of the restaurant. The lady taking our order was super nice and patient considering this was our first time at this place and I needed a few minutes to decide what to order (it didn't help that I was starving and wanted to order everything on the menu).We ordered the Quesabirria Street Tacos, Carne Asada Burrito, Regular Birria Street Tacos, Carne Asada Nachos, Chicken Street Taco, and Agua Fresca. The food was made to order and everything tasted fresh. I noticed one of the food preparers was a Dallas Cowboys fan, and although I'm not a fan of that team, I was extremely amazed at how quick he and the folks were at preparing our food - it was appreciated considering my hunger status. Aside from wanting to try this place for the last several months, one of my main reasons to visit this place was due to the Birria Tacos. I have never tried those and have been wanting to try it for quite some time. I've done searches within a 15-mile radius from my house and this was one of many that popped up. I was slightly disappointed that the Birria Tacos weren't the crispy shell I was anticipating and even though the consomé was delicious (yes, I even drank from the bowl), I felt that the onion chunks were excessive...considering that the tacos already had a tremendous amount of onions itself. Don't get me wrong, I'm normally the, "You can never have enough garlic and onions," type-of-guy, but in this case, it was a little too much. The Chicken Street Taco was decent, nothing to write home to Mom and Dad about. Also, the Carne Asada Burrito was delicious and massive (I think I'm gaining 3 pounds right now just talking about it); and the Agua Fresca was refreshing!The décor was decent but slightly on the plain side. The price-to-quantity/quality was reasonable and adequate. I highly respect this business for supporting the men and women of the Armed Forces (including Veterans of course) - I appreciate this a lot. All-in-all, I can definitely see myself coming back to try other items on the menu. I wanted to try the carnitas but unfortunately, I can only consume a set amount of food in one sitting. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
This is my go-to place. Great food at great prices.

Fish tacos are HUGE and tasty. Great birria tacos. Portions are generous. Food comes fast and fresh. Good for satisfying my birria fix when the foodie trucks are nowhere to be found.

Kid-friendliness: My kids devour the chips, beans, and carne asada here.
Al Pastor street tacos were okay. They were reasonably priced compared to some other places. New Taco place, so doesn't exactly have an atmosphere established yet. My sister got the Carne Asada fries, which tasted more like a cheeseburger as opposed to carne asada fries. The soda machine wasn't great and seemed old. Which is strange for a new restaurant. Hopefully, it improves, but it wasn't fantastic. Staff wasn't super friendly. They seemed bored and not really happy. There is potential, but I guess we will see if they improve or not. As of right now, Frijoles or Durango Taco Shop is better.

El Norte Taco Shop- A great place for a quick lunch.Rating: ????? (5/5)El Norte Taco Shop in Las Vegas is truly a hidden gem! During my recent visit, I found that their menu offers a wide variety of options, but my focus was on their delectable street tacos. The juicy carne asada filling, paired with the fresh tortilla and the flavorful combination of onions and cilantro, made for an unforgettable taste experience.The efficiency of the staff in taking and delivering orders, as well as the inviting atmosphere, further enhanced my overall dining experience. In conclusion, El Norte Taco Shop is the perfect spot for a satisfying, quick lunch.

A hidden gem ?I love their carne asada is so tender and an amazing flavor definitely an amazing addition to this area. We needed some good tacos. Also their shrimp tacos and fish tacos best I’ve had here in Vegas.
This place has the best rolled tacos I've ever had. The beef was tender and moist, the shell was so fragile and crispy. I've had a lot of rolled tacos in multiple cities including places that specialize only in rolled tacos and this place, by far, has the best rolled tacos I've ever had. Thank you and I will be back.
Everything was wonderful. No complaints at all.
