The Greatest Mexican Food!
Even from the parking lot, the fragrant, delicious smells whet your appetite. Typically, there is a wait at the door, but it's worth it. If you go at the right time, there is just enough time to enjoy a margarita or cerveza in the friendly bar. Ray will call your name and the party really gets started. The entire menu is excellent and the service is great. Perfect place for a couple, or, for a large group. The food is always fresh and the quality hasn't changed in the 25 years I have been eating here. Have the Carne Asada or the Fajitas. End it all with some flan or fried ice cream. You won't be disappointed.    [10 Dec 2003 17:51:34]

The Best I Have ever eaten
I have been going to El Taco for 20-25 years and I haven't been disappointed. Every Mexican Resturant out there pails in comparison.    [20 Dec 2004 11:44:27]

Excellent Food
El Taco Real serves some of the most delicious Mexican food I have had. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Great food, friendly service, and a very comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend it! Also, be sure to try their strawberry margaritas!    [18 Feb 2005 12:43:47]

You can smell the wonderful mexican fare outside when driving past. The best margaritas in the US. Everything on the menu is to die for. I never had a bad experience here. This restaurant has won many dining awards. You haven't had mexican food until you tried el taco real!!!    [30 Mar 2005 14:56:32]

Best Mexican food I've had in Indiana
I used to work down the street from El Taco Real at Bishop Noll. Always looked forward to a visit even though at times there is a wait. It's well worth it, however, and the food is a big step above from the so-called Tex-Mex restaurant chains that have become so prevalent around the country. I now live in Fort Wayne and look forward to my occasional visit back home. I always order the soft pork tacos since it is the only restaurant I can find them in. I also enjoy the Nachitos. It is a true appetizer and not a bunch of chips smothered in everything under the sun. Enjoy Mexican food the way it was meant to be.    [29 Dec 2007 09:47:33]
