Reviews For El Arriero Taqueria 1

BOY!!!!! This place KILLED IT!!! The menu layout was a bit confusing. But once questions were answered, it was cake. I had the Arriero burrito and my wife had the pulled pork burrito. The queso was an actual cheese sauce and not cheese water. The salsa bar was fully stocked and had a wide variety of salsas. All of them were delicious! Interior was clean and the staff was cool. This will be a part of our places to visit everytime we're back home.

I had torta cubana. It was excellent. They have a salsa bar so you can pick your salsa. I got red, green and the coleslaw stuff. All the were hot . I paid for rice and beans, but they forgot the rice. If do carry out check your order before you leave. I didn't notice until I got home.

Their salsa bar is one of the best ever. Great service and friendly staff always make it a great experience. The value of their combo items is hard to beat! Excited to try the Churros

-Salsa verde has a perfect balance of acid to spiciness and flavor (they had more on their salsa/ taco toppings bar compared to any place I’ve been in town with the similar options) -Darker red salsa has just right amount of heat without being overwhelming -Generous portion of chips perfect for dipping -Flavorful rice -Fresh, crisp vegetables in quesadilla -Loved the consistency and saltiness of the queso The lady at the front was so nice and, as a former restaurant employee, I felt so incredibly bad when I realized (as I was being handed my food) that I walked in at 9pm when they were closing. They were so accommodating and I will definitely be back!

I ordered the torta and was very pleased. I am from CA where Mexican food is abundant and was impressed to find a place that would satisfy the Mexican food craving so far from the border. Great customer service too! Gracias!
