I tried their burritos and tacos, food is 10/10. Burrito was very filling, yummy and worth the money. Tacos were extremely tasty but a little expensive as they don't fill you up. You pay just for the taste, but still do try. They serve 4 sauces which are delectable. I went in for a repeat, they are so good and the service is good too. And how can I forget the vegetable pickles served along, they are amazing too. Highly recommend this place for food, ambience and service however I have one feedback to share, your menu is very confusing and not at all friendly. You should explain the food with the names. I have been to your place but I guess on my second visit, I will still not be able to order food just based on your menu. I hope you get what I mean. For you, it's common to know the terms, for others it isn't. The options are also not clearly mentioned in the menu. So deducting 1* just for the menu.*Pics and the bill attached for your reference.Update: Visited againOrdered tacos, kids burrito, corn chowder soup, beer and enchiladas. Didn't like the food this visit especially tacos and enchiladas hence deducting the stars. Enchiladas were disappointing. They weren't good at all. Too sour to begin with, less chicken etc etc. They were $23 and let me tell you they are just not worth your money in my opinion, so avoid it. Attaching the bill and the pics.

The food was great and the service was good too. Only problem is they don't have air conditioning and it was so hot inside I felt like I was going to fant. Praise to the waitresses or working in that heat.

Pretty decent tacos that come with some spicy sauces. The Churros are some of the best I've had. Definitely recommend. They also have a dog friendly patio.

Oh my!I loved my first experience here!I am not a Mexican food fan, but El Taquero was a game-changer!Beautiful place, both inside and the colourful patio!Kind and smiling staff, awesome food and incredible side dishes ?It was great how the pickled veg side dish tasted like one of my hometown’s side dishes!I had the Costras (cheesy tacos) with fish filling, which was super fresh and tasty.Def gonna come back here more often ?

Weekend away in Kelowna and dropped in for weekend brunch at El Taquero. We were pleased with our tasty meal, with good service, and the Owner popped by to thank us for visiting! It was a nice touch and made our meal even more memorable.We started with drinks - it’s always nice to have a drink special and day-drinking is always fun. The highlight of the meals were the birria burrito/taco, and the pasilla salsa and pasilla chili salsa were a-mazing. We shared the flan and churros for dessert.Everything recommended!We’ll definitely be back.

Great ambiance is the first thing I noticed walking into the restaurant. The service station was in the centre as I walked in but did not come across as a service centre. It was well designed for staff to easily get to the customers outside as well as inside. (Sorry forgot to take a picture). And of course the food and the service was excellent! I had costras and a mandarin flavoured jarritos. The pineapple salsa was my favourite!

wonderful staff, great Tequila and overall great atmosphere

I’ve been wanting to try this place for so long and finally stopped by to get dinner last night! The tacos were awesome and I loved the corn chowder so much! it’s also my first time trying cactus, I’m surprised that they taste like potatoes! Will definitely come back with more friends and have more tacos! Didn’t take a pic of the cocktails we got but they were very refreshing for a hot summer day

Marnie and Izzy have a great place. This is a great spot. Great atmosphere. Food is spectacular. Brought my boys who tend to picky and they had a great time.Staff is super friendly and easy going.Had nacho pandemia to share with the boys. We smashed it. Not your sport bar nachos. Chips are insanely good. Street corn vibe is awesome. Got it with guacamole and chorizo. Hurt myself a bit because it was too good. The pickled veggies on the top are fantastic.Boys crushed the kids the quesadillas with carne asada.Churros were a massive hit.This is a family owned and run shop. Get out there for something different and awesome. Support the locals who are making it happen.Recommended

Stopped by for a drink with my husband a few nights ago. We ordered a couple margaritas while waiting for our food. The Hibiscus Marg is AMAZING! Not too sweet as some margaritas can be. We had great service from Gabby. she's lovely! my husband and I have younger kids at home so don't get out often on our own - but when we do we always go to El Taquero. It never disappoints. I had the burrito - delicious as usual. If you want authentic Mexican food with great service and atmosphere - go to El Taquero!
