Taco Y Taco

Definitely delicious eats! Al Pastor tacos.. a must!!! Everything is a must to try twice… wont be disappointed!

Being from Texas, I’m always on the lookout for a breakfast burrito that is worth. Well, I think I found it. They also serve soyrizo for vegetarians. Simply wonderful, the salsa bar is awesome, salsa is tasty and it seemed to transport me home. I like it, will be back without a doubt! Nummy

Come here for the great tacos and corn. Its old school furniture and very spacious. Made to order tacos.

Finally found a Mexican taco shop that had a variety of options for vegetarians. Nopales (cactus), sautéed mushrooms, sorizo and black beans not cooked in lard were just a few of the taco options. We also tried the Mexican elote (corn on the cob). It was delicious!
Service was great and the guy who cooked our food was friendly. You order at the counter and then seat yourself.
The only down side is that the seating area was dirty. Table were not wiped down and floor was dirty as well.
Overall great experience and will be back!

I love this place so much. Everything is so GOOD! Anything Al Pastor is to die for. The line is a little confusing for a first-​timer, but I don’t even care anymore. Just as long as I can get some tacos and vampiros, I’m good!

First things first, yes, the food here IS delicious. The homemade tortillas, the fresh grilled and marinated meats. Very flavorful and very good. Especially the Al Pastor tacos Loved these.
The reason for the two star rating is because a lot of other things about this place is just terrible. As others have complained about, the service here is not with a smile, its hurried and less than enthusiastic. Maybe this is because the cooks are also serving the food to you but whatever, it wouldn’t kill you to be polite and smile.
My second complaint is associated with the way you order your food here. This is probably the least efficient way to order tacos I have ever seen. You have to stand in a different line for each different kind of taco. This means that if you want three different tacos with three different kinds of meat, you might have to wait in three different lines. If you dont like variety and just want 3 tacos all the same, fine. but I shouldn’t be penalized for wanting to try some variety. Oh and you decide you want a side dish with your taco… get in another line. Maybe I was doing it wrong but I wouldn’t know. There are absolutely no signs or indication of how exactly they want you to order, you either just know or spend a lot of time asking people where to stand and what each line is for etc. I cant imagine the chaos that must take place when they are busy.
Next, was the salsa bar, the salsas were delicious and plentiful but the other vegetable trays, like onion, carrots, and limes were empty or nearly empty. I was there for about an hour and no one came and refilled any of them. Too bad.
Finally, the biggest offense was in the food prep. The guy making the carne asada was wearing gloves, I guess to protect himself since they sure weren’t there to protect the public. I saw him pull a stack of raw steaks, and using his fingers (not tongs) pulled off slice after slice, adding them to the grill. Then, without changing his gloves or washing his hands, he proceeds to take the fresh tortillas and starts filling them completely by hand, the same hands that mere seconds before were handling RAW meat. Then on top of that, the person who was making the tortillas became busy elsewhere in the kitchen. So this same cook, with the same dirty gloves digs his hands into the masa and starts making the tortillas completely by hand, again with the same hands and gloves that were just handling RAW meat. Needless to say the health department is getting a phone call about this. No thank you sir, I do not need your E. Coli tacos. I went with al pastor which does not involve direct meat handling and the meat is pre cooked.
So anyway, yea the food is good, your chances of getting sick are probably high though. Customer service is rough and placing your order is a chore. I will probably go back again for those al-​pastor tacos and if they fix these issues I will probably upgrade my rating. If you go there, watch the food prep carefully.

These tacos are the best street tacos I have ever had! Certainly the best I have had in Vegas! Every choice is fantastic and their condiment section is large. Beer is a buck too! Love this place and mom and pop gems like this!

the al pastor pork was very flavorful. they put pineapple too – very good. I love their salsa stion. plenty of sauces selection. the salsa was tasty.
Al pastor taco was $ 2.50.kind of expensive for small taco.

Came here this evening for the first time for their 3 year anniversary dollar taco promo. Thanks Chris V for helping spreading the news via social media.
The restaurant was poppin! How poppin was it? We accidentally came in from the dining room area, saw the balloons at each table and the mariachi band performing before noticing this was the back end of the restaurant. So we walked towards the line of people patiently waiting their turn to just order trying to find the end, and literally had to walk out the front door to wait behind a few customers that were out there at the official end of the line. That poppin! By the time we got to the lines to order the tacos, it was almost 50 minutes later. But the tacos were great, they didn’t skimp or make it smaller, just So crazy packed and wildly successful!
I have to say that due to the massive crowd of customers that came out for $ 1 beer and tacos, if you were not already a pro at ordering different tacos at different stations, the ordering system can and was definitely confusing and frustrating for me. A slip of paper to mark down what you want to order, so you can get exactly what you want without having to go wait in the back of the long line again to complete your order would have been helpful, especially on days of their super promotions.
But the tacos were tasty. Fair amount of protein on each one. I initially wanted 12 tacos, but only ended up order 7 and a Horchata, and I was full. And the staff worked their butt off trying to make the fresh tortillas, cooking and grilling the meat fresh, and expertly assembling each tacos to order. Everyone in line can see how hard they worked and not a single person complained about the wait.
The Al Pastor (Spicy Pork) is noticeably spicier than the other places, but so good. Maybe I was closer to feeling famished after an hour of waiting in line, or their grilled chicken tacos was just that good, but 3 of them quickly disappeared after I squeezed some fresh lime juice on it.
Good food, good prices (even without their anniversary or National Taco Day promotion) and I know I will be making another trip to the other side of Las Vegas soon for some more great street tacos.

I have been to Taco Y Taco 12 times according to my Unilocal check ins. I used to feel pretty good about spending my money for some of their delicious tacos. NOT ANYMORE.
Taco Y Taco will not get another cent of my hard earned money. In fact, if someone offered to treat me to tacos at their restaurant, i would decline the offer.
Consistently poor service is the reason for my denying them my future patronage.
From the cashier to the taco cooks, there are no smiles at all. The sign does not say, but I suspect smiles would happen if I placed a tip in the jar. Hello, it doesn’t work that way… you have to treat me nice first!
My recent and last visit was an interaction with the taco cook that was rude to say the least. I ordered the happy hour street tacos and he looked over my shoulder at the clock (it was 6:15 pm) and he gazed at said clock for what seemed like a solid minute. Then, he doesn’t make the tacos. I wait and order a quesadilla from the quesadilla area (again, no smile there either). I go back to the taco area (where there are now 2 other customers ordering tacos. Still no tacos. I stare at the taco guy and he looks back at me and I say, tacos??? He looks at me and says tacos. I said remember, I ordered street tacos. He gives the other customers a look and then looks back at me. I should have walked out but did not.
Flash forward to the cashier and she rings up my $ 13 order and I ask to add one drink. Total comes to $ 23+. I say that is too much and read off what I have on my tray. She said no, that is the total. She reads off to me what I have on my tray and I ask how that adds up to $ 23+??? She tells me it does and I am done with the back and forth so I pay and ask for the receipt. The receipt shows nachos and I tell her that I do not have nachos. She points to my container and says nachos and I tell her that is chips and guacamole (also on the receipt) and she tells me she thought it was both chips/​guacamole and nachos. All in one container???
Yep, Taco Y Taco, I am done with you and your rude service. Clearly the customer is never right… or appreciated.

Oh, Taco y Taco.
Of course, we’ve been back in several times over the 2 ¹⁄₅ years since my last review, its just taken some time for me to remember to update.
My most recent visit was last night, for the 3 year anniversary, where all tacos (except seafood) were $ 1.
It was so busy… busier than I’d ever seen the place, but everyone remained super friendly, and helpful.
Last night, I had 3 vegetarian tacos: the Seta (mushrooms), Soyrizo, and Fajita tacos.
They were all delicious, but the soyrizo was my favorite. Mildly spicy, and a lot of «meat.»
The girl who made my tacos was very nice, and made sure that I didn’t have any avocado near my plate. (I’m allergic.)
A few times ago, I tried the sesos tacos, which are beef brains.
If you’re adventurous, try it! Its actually really delicious.
I love everything I’ve ever eaten here, and it remains a favorite place.

Love this place! Great deals on the tacos, quesadillas are especially great. Love coming here and i’ll always be a loyal customer!

For Vegas standards, Taco y Taco is very authentic. I’ve been there for lunch twice and it’s never crowded. Pork is not my thing, but their steak and chicken tacos are both seasoned to perfection. On Taco Tuesday, they offer a happy hour in the afternoon with tacos for only a fraction of the cost.

Meh. I ordered two tacos al pastor and an elote. The elote had a decent flavor, but they shouldn’t have gone so easy on the toppings. The al pastor didn’t have very much flavor, so I was disappointed.
I’d go again to give this place a chance to redeem itself, but that’s about it.
On a positive note, the place is copacetic and spacious. Nice interior.

This is by far my favorite taco spot in town! I have tried over 15 taco joints (el gordo, tacos Mexico, los tacos, etc), and this place continuously exceeds the rest in service, organization, flavor, and quality of the food.
Their meats are fresh, and since they have such a busy restaurant, the turnover is so quick! They don’t double their tortillas, so you get a ton of meat and delicious stuffings per taco, well worth the $ 2.25.
I have only tried their carne asada, chicken, and barbacoa. Their barbacoa puts all my beef recipes to shame!!! delicioso!!!
Their salsa station includes 8 different kinds of salsas, beans, veggies, and of course, limes.

One of my favorite restaurants in town!
I usually order their carne asada tacos & elote — both of which are DIVINE — but occasionally, I’ll mix it up & order a few carne asada vampiros instead. Paired with a glass bottle of Coke & some flan, you can’t go wrong.
With several people working the grills & other stations, service is always quick & easy — as long as you know what you want before approaching the counter. I highly recommend stopping by — whether it be at the Tropicana location or the one on Eastern, which has a full bar & a larger dining area.

So good! Made fresh. You can build your own tacos, burritos, quesadillas… and vegetarian options!!!

Just when I gave up hope for any good Mexican food or tacos in vegas, Taco y Taco saved my day. Or possibly, my life.
Since Tacos el Gordo (one of the most popular) was a disappointment for me, I had given up half a year ago. IT’s been a while, yeah.
I think this place has hands down the BEST Al Pastor Tacos. OH MY GOSH. I don’t even really like Al pastor tacos, and prefer carne asada, but it was a smashing hit for me here, surpassing the other tacos available.
Al pastor tacos– ⁷⁄₅ stars.
Carne asada tacos– ⁴⁄₅ stars.
Shrimp tacos– ⁵⁄₅ stars.
Mexican hot cocoa– ²⁄₅ stars. It was chunky, had strange bits in it, and it tasted almost like they used lard or a different type of fat instead of milk.
This place will be my go-​to tacos spot in vegas until I find something better.

Great place to tame a craving for authentic street tacos and so much more! A variety of tacos to choose from: carne asada, al pastor, grilled chicken, carnitas, and even buche. If tacos is not what you’re craving… fear not! They offer burritos, nachos, quesadillas, vampiros, and even a full bar! Speaking of bar, hit the salsa bar and make sure to try the black beans & grilled onions… very flavorful indeed!!! I highly recommend this place!

I was surprised by the interior. It doesn’t look or feel like a typical Mexican joint. It’s also a lot bigger than I was expecting! A friend of mine, who is Hispanic, told me that this place was better than Tacos El Gordo. SWEET, I’m always down to trying places especially if people say it’s better than some other place. Well sorry to disappoint it was mediocre at best.
So we’ll start off with food. I got the Carne Asada Fries and Al Pastor tacos. The tacos were pretty decent and I’d say would be on par with Tacos El Gordo, if it was a little spicier. That was a little disappointment to me. The carne asada fries were completely disappointing. The meat was pre-​cooked and put in storage containers on the side for the Fries station. So the meat wasn’t even hot at all. It was luke warm, maybe. Maybe the fries were not enough to make it luke warm. I’m not to sure. The overall taste of it was very disappointing!
I was too hungry to remember to take pictures =[ oops. I’ll definitely come back to try the other tacos, but definitely skipping the fries.
Oh, it was pretty dirty. Which is really a big no no for me, hopefully they clean up. The fans looked like there were years of dust on it… yes I said years. Maybe it was a few months, but it looked pretty bad and gross to me.
I did like the condiment bar, lots to choose from which was nice!
The soda… skip it, most of it was flat or tasted weird =\ ugh I hate flat soda! But the horchata was really good!
So yup, overall it was mediocre. I’ll come back again in a few weeks and see how it fairs. I always say give a place three tries before you completely throw it out.

Taco y taco has the same concept as tacos el Gordo. Each section has its specific meat that you line up for, order the type and quantity, and then pay. However, this place offers elote which is pretty good!
The al pastor is my favorite here. They dip their tortillas in the oils that the meats are simmering in and they add pineapple to their green sauce they lather on the al pastor tacos. The barbacoa is tender but on the more meatier side if you like the taste of well cooked meat.
I’ve never got to try their lingua cause they always run out, so I’m assuming that one is bomb. The horchata is good here and refillable too.
There are 2 entrances, one on each side of the building (it’s on a corner island of the plaza. Anyways, good bites!

Bombdotcom! Tried other taco joints in Vegas but this is by far the best! Love the alpastor tacos! Quick, friendly service! Would go back in a heartbeat!

Ok I saw this place on Unilocal,looked at the photos and since I saw corn on the cob Mexican style which I like and buy all the time from street vendors decided to hit this joint during my stay here in Vegas.
The corn on the cob was good but not better than the usual street vendors that sell in Orange County, Ca — Anaheim.
However I decided to try a taco el-​pastor and I can tell you that it was the best taco I have ever had.
I used to think that Pollo Locco had better food than Del Taco and Taco Bell. This place puts both of those so far behind that they seem equal.
If you try the taco el pastor go to the salad at and dip it into their spicy red sauce!
The «red sauce» which is what they call it is AMAZING.
If you know of better tacos than here throughout Vegas please let me know.

We noticed on entering that business has fallen off with most of the tables vacant at lunch time. Once again we ordered adobada tacos that came with crema, onions and cilantro. The expanded salsa bar continues to be a plus.

ELOTE ELOTE ELOTE!
I will have to say it was empty when we came in on a Monday dinner time & the setting is interesting. The staff was nice… although the al pastor guy station was a little grumpy… hahaha he was cursing in Spanish when I asked for flour tortilla on my MULA instead of corn, but they should have asked instead of assuming… plus I can understand Spanish so it was a bit =\
Other than that everything was good.
I would have to say this place is almost as AWESOME as tacos El gordo… but they do have their perks w/​the BOMB elote that they wonderfully COVER the ENTIRE corn w/​a loving amount of cheese. They also have the SALSA station which I LOVE!!! Their fresh Pico de gayo & jalapeño salsa is the Best.
This place is definitely on the top of my list for taco places. This LOCATION I must say… also possibly tastes a bit better than the eastern location.

Went here tonight for $ 1 National Taco Day 10÷4÷15. We bought 10 tacos over 3 transactions.
Al Pastor — very good
Barbacoa — good
Cabeza — bad*
Carnitas — good
Lengua — good
Tripa — very good
Best part: they take cards and with no minimum!
Worst part: lots of dirty tables that needed bussed.
You need very minimal Spanish to order. But, «no cilantro» is the same in English and Spanish, yet Brian P. was given a generous heap of cilantro on his carnitas despite saying it 3 times.
*I threw up immediately after exiting the car on the ride home. I felt immediately nauseous after eating this taco.
