Low quality ingredients, expensive, rice/cheese etc costs $2 per ingredient. I found an artery in my meat 4 inches long. Feel disgusting after eating this. Chipotle or Adobos is far superior. They also messed up my order. Will not be back again. Was hoping for an authentic Mexican burrito with quality ingredients, instead I wouldn't feed this to my dog.

As a Mexican grocery store taco enthusiast, I don’t say this in jest, these are the best tacos I’ve ever had. I had (2) of the pastor and (1) of the lengua. Mhmmmmm! Both were cooked to perfection with a flavor that I’ll tell in detail to my across the hall neighbor in a nursing home someday. They wrap up each taco like a newborn baby leaving the hospital for the very first time. It’s an art of beauty you need to experience for yourself. Lastly, both salsas (green and red) hit all the right spots. I can’t say enough good words. Well done, El Paisano! Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–10

Best tacos in Dubuque hands down. If you want true, delicious and filling tacos then look no further the Al Pastor (marinated pork) is by far my favorite and go to! Slap a little green sauce on it and it’s heaven from there! Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $1–10

400 sqft "grocery store" with kitchen and no dining space. After walking in, host did not acknowledge me until owner ran out to grill me about taking the photos below. Fair prices but, after waiting 10 minutes for 1 burrito with nobody else there, I got burnt meat, little flavor, and overly mild salsas. As an Arizona native, this is no more authentic than Taco Bell and definitely not cleaner.

Most authentic tacos we've found in Dubuque, and most delicious queso! Giving the atmosphere 1 star only because the inside of the place could use a bit of TLC 😞 Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1 Recommended dishes Pollo Tacos Chicken
