"I've visited this restaurant several times, and it's finally time to share my thoughts. This place offers top-notch food; it's definitely not a hole in the wall—more of a sit-down dining experience. The quality of the meat is excellent, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. The prices are comparable to many other establishments, and I had a burrito dinner that cost around $16 or $17, which was just a dollar more for steak than the other options. If you haven't been to Tacos El Norte and you're in the area, I highly recommend checking it out. The green salsa is fantastic, while the dark red salsa packs quite a punch. They also offer Coca Cola Chicken, which is cooked in a spicy sauce, and their chimichangas are good, albeit a bit on the heavy side. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends."

I made a straightforward choice and couldn't be happier. The service was quick, and the food was absolutely delicious. My server was really friendly, too. I noticed that the restaurant was clean and inviting, with proper spacing for safety, and the staff wore masks. Thank you!

Super disappointed usually they are pretty good but the last few times it’s been very tasteless for 50 bucks for two meals you would hope it was worth it !! Messed up our order didn’t add the limes or avocado but charged us for it !!! the chicken tasted horrible almost like watery super gross needless to say we were very unhappy View menu

The parking lot was full, with a steady stream of people entering the restaurant. However, that didn't pose an issue, as the restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine. Tables were cleared and set promptly, guests were seated quickly, and our server was attentive. The food arrived in no time and all the ingredients were fresh, resulting in a delicious dinner. We look forward to returning soon.

We arrived just before the dinner rush it gets packed! They really rush you out; as we left we saw a lot of people waiting for tables. Half of our dishes came out immediately but was room temperature (rice, meat in the tacos the simpler dishes) while the fancier dishes came out *much* later and were piping hot (chile relleno). I wish they waited on making the faster dishes until they finished the other ones. With that being said, the food was very delicious. Tongue torta, chile relleno, steak gordita, chimichanga, excellent.

"I want to give this place five stars, but I can’t. Let’s start with the drinks. I understand that you need to make some profit on the alcohol sales. If your going to charge $12 for an old fashioned, then it needs to look like a $12 old fashioned and not a chunky smoothie made with maraschino cherries. We order our appetizers, the calamari appetizer was good but it took a while for our half shell oysters to make it to our table. I needed to remind our waiter about them and then they showed up. The oysters tasted great, but the employee that shucked them did not fully prepare the oysters. We had to detach the oyster from the actual shell ourselves. By this time our drinks are almost done, the waiter isn’t paying attention to them and moves on to his next table. At first I thought, well maybe it’s because they are busy and short staffed. Then, I watch him service another table that sat down after us. They ordered appetizers and a couple cocktails. Their drinks were replenished at the half way mark. The waiter walks back over to us and doesn’t even check on us. I really tired to let that slide and I hope it’s a newer waiter. Let’s move on to the main course, two lobster rolls and some fries. I’ve had my fair share of lobster rolls, honestly I’ve never had a bland one until this place. The lobster meat was kind of dry and some of the bits were actually hard and inedible. By the time we finished the waiter then asked if we would like another drink. We politely declined and asked for our check. This place has all of the components of a great restaurant,but they don’t have the components in the right place."
