El Atoron: Reviews & Ratings
Where do I start?... It's been such a long time since I've eaten at El Atoron. It used to be my go to for all of my favorite authentic Mexican street foods. That is until they were forced to relocate from Henderson Street due to gentrification. Luckily, I was in the area after leaving a local farmer's market when I looked up "tacos near me" and El Atoron showed on my list. I immediately got excited and knew we had to go there. After placing our order, our food was ready w/in 10 minutes. Their food & sauces are absolutely delicious and full of so much flavor. So much that we ended up ordering food to-go to have for dinner. Also, the people & service was just as amazing as I remember it being. They are so welcoming, almost making you feel like family. And I'm not sure if the woman who took the order is the owner, but I remembered her from the old location and she remembered me. When you have customers that visit you at your not so new location, that tells you something. The decor, photos, and artwork also gives you a peek into what it's like to step foot in Mexico City. I love it. Just know this is a very small location so expect to get lucky if you're able to dine in. I'd say it holds 16 people comfortably, but it's what is expected when you go to a taqueria. Thank you, El Atoron! We can't wait to return.
Toda la comida esta deliciosa huaraches, quesadillas y tortas somos clientes semanales además todo limpio y la atención de las chicas muy buena
Delicious chicken quesadillas & chilaquiles I used to get the green ones but then I tried the red chilaquiles and those taste even better but they are pretty spicy but very good! I love this place the service is amazing they have always given me great service they even know me by what I order, this is a great place to eat!
Great small location that service great Mexican food to satisfy those weekly taco/tortas/quesadilla cravings. Highly recommended!!!
Always fantastic service and the tortas are the biggest I have found. The bread is perfect and they stuff it with ingredients.
Hands down the best tortas in town I have yet to have a bad one el Atoron is slowly becoming my new weekly habit always get a few tacos and a torta to have for the next day still good. Friendly bilingual crew working restaurant is always clean and there is usually some form of sports on the tv. So glad my friend brought me here.
Everything we had was hot, fresh, and delicious. Some of the best homemade food I've had. Would definitely like to go back soon.
I truly should've left a review on this place a long time ago but I forgot. I'm from California and have been in Texas for less than a year now. In MY opinion, California has more Mexican influence. Texans always tell me that they have the best Mexican food because they're so close to the border but after having food from both places I HIGHLY disagree. Texas is more "Tex-mex", California has more authentic Mexican food. THIS PLACE reminded me of home. I had a huarache and I wish I had taken a picture to show you! I practically inhaled it, it was so good LOL! Must TRY!
Mexico City style Mexican food!!! OMG. Seriously some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. Best tacos, sopes, hauraches & gorditas hands down.
