"I went into Manchester with my Daughter to eat yesterday without pre booking anywhere and we found ourselves struggling to get into the place we wanted to eat in due to long waiting times for tables. So we ventured into the murky backstreets of the Northern Quarter around Thomas Street with its overpriced bars. I've always been aware of hidden out of the way places to eat and drink and suggested we tske a stroll down Back Turner St. Which is dark and dirty but it does not reflect on the little places that are there. EL TAQUERO with its pavement level neon signs and a cook in his apron taking a break from his routine drew my attention. A small street level Authentic Mexican restaurant with welcoming staff. I said I know its not what we'd had in mind (we like Japanese Vietnamese food) but at 8pm on a Friday evening we knew that was not going to happen and we were hungry. I asked the waiter on the steps if they had a table for two he took us inside and there were about 10 tables and only 2 empty tables for two. We made our minds up to be adventurous and it was a fantastic gamble. Not being a fan of Natchos or those other crispy messy tacos etc. We were given a table by a Mexican waitress who was incredibly helpful and guided me through a menu of things I'd never even heard of. To get into the wonderful laid back atmosphere I ordered drinks to set the mood, my daughter just had water she was driving, while I ordered a bottled beer called Day of the Dead I.P.A. 6.8% it was excellent but I also had a shot of 1800 Reserva Reposado Tequila not fiery smooth warming. Food: we ordered 2 Camrejo Concha Suave Grandes these are soft crab tortillas served with pieces of cactus cooked with the crab and thinly sliced red raw cabbage and a other greens with shredded carrot. I was amazed that this whole soft crab was so delicious which the waitress explained they were put on the menu as a special for one week and regulars begged for them to be on the main menu ! we also ordered Camerones Baja two fat battered prawns on small flat tortillas with a sprinkling of raw vegetables served with 3 small dips of different tomatoes flavours one being made from red, green black tomatoes, stunning stuff ! Also ordered Chrizo Con Nopales on tiny flat breads which were mixed with cheese and very filling. We voided Guacamole Crema off the bill so we could end with hot churros with melted dark chocolate and coconut ice cream. I think £43 and a £5 tip for a fantastic waitress who gave us her undivided attention was a steal, for what we were introduced to, from a very extensive menu which was heavenly. Will I return....you bet xx"

The tacos and other Mexican dishes are incredible! The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff were very friendly. Did I mention that?

The proper mexican food! It was so good I wanted to cry. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Tortillas/tacos are handmade from corn flour, so they are gluten free. I recommend this place with all my heart.

Excellent food, very authentic. Brilliant find and I doubt you'll find a better taco place in Manchester, I'll definitely be back to try something else. Two lots of tacos, two quesadillas and two drinks were about £34. Can't fault the quality at all. Delicious. Visualizza piatti

The Mexican cuisine here is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend trying a combination of tacos—definitely include the taco al pastor, as it’s my favorite. The quesadillas were equally tasty and fresh. Contrary to some other reviews, our order arrived surprisingly quickly. The staff was very friendly, and it's a great place to bring kids. Overall, a wonderful dining experience!

great meal from beginning to end. for my starter, my partner and I shared the queso fundido from which a cheese lover was paradies. Mexican cheesefondue with pico do gallo and served with tortilla chips or fresh tortillas. at £5.90 and shady for two people, this starter is not only delicious, but also inexpensive. afterwards I went for the cangrejo concha suave deep roasted soft shell basket, with crushed red cabbage, carrots, cut avocado röst habanero mayo. such a good taco this, pure crunch from the crab and a great combination with the Habanero canyo. I was dekerned, that came as a taco, deffo could have eaten more. Finally, I have melted in chorizo con nopales chargrilled cactus, Mexican...

My partner and I were a bit unsure about the menu at first. We anticipated that dishes would be served as starters and main courses, but they actually arrived more in the style of a street food restaurant, coming out as they were ready. While this wasn’t an issue for us, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly the kitchen staff prepared everything. One thing I noticed was that the food wasn’t as spicy as I typically enjoy; however, it was still very delicious, just not as fiery. This might have been because we ordered so much food! As an uncertain couple about portion sizes, we decided to try the three-for-three option along with some shareable dishes. We ended up enjoying everything b... Visualizza piatti
