El Taco Tote

Best tacos in Laredo! Doesn’t matter what time you go, you won’t be disappointed. Best breakfast tacos! Great staff and food!

If you are looking for a hole in the wall or a 5 star restaurant keep looking. But if you want good food at a reasonable price in an average setting this is your place. Order at the counter and they bring the plate to your table. Had the fajitas flour tortillas they also offer corn it was just great.

This is another one of my favorites, you create your taco and the taste is splendid, very nice salsa bar also.

This place could use an update. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the positives. which is everything else.
The staff is friendly and their food is superb. I ordered the fajita plate ($ 9.99), and it was delicious. The steak was tender and flavorful. Both the flour and corn tortillas were good (I prefer flour though). The guacamole was outstanding, and the sauces in the bar area are great. Other than the seating and walls being a little dated, I have no other complaints. Would definitely recommend you try this place.

Minus 2 stars. One for each hair in my meal. One long thin one in the rice and one short thick one under the meat. Corn tortillas were hair-​free, piping hot, and delicious. Overall… food was good. And hairy, but hey, this is Laredo so it’s to be expected.

My favorite, favorite Mexican place in Laredo! The chilaquiles are out of this world & as authentic as any restaurant in Mexico!

The last time I visited this place was in 2000, so keep this in mind. Since then, their steak fajitas have been the gold standards for me over the entire country. I have yet to find any fajitas as good or as cheap, so I pray that they are still the bomb! When are they coming to Atlanta?!

My favorite Mexican place. The meats, tortillas, and salsa bar are the best!

Fly into Laredo on business right at lunch time, and what must you seek? Mexican food, of course! Pulling up my iPhone Unilocal app, the list of Mexican joints within a mile of our business destination was almost dizzying. El Taco Tote caught my eye due to the consistently favorable ratings awarded by my fellow Unilocalers.
El Taco Tote offers Mexican plates, but what caught my eye were the tacos for ala carte orders. Focusing on the tacos I enjoyed a pork taco and a barbacoa taco, both wrapped in a fresh flour tortilla. Their condiment bar features sevaral salsas of various spice and flavor — I wish they had been labeled. I gathered generous portions of pico de gallo, salsa verde, and a deep red salsa that offered a nice kick to the taste buds.
The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and generously stuffed with the meat of choice. Two were plenty; I’m glad I resisted the temptation to order three.
All-​in-​all, this is a great stop for a quick Mexican meal at a reasonable cost. I would definitely return.

Great food served up fast from the kitchen.
Yes, it looks like a fast food place with plastic spoons and trays, but the food is top notch. Close your eyes and point at the menu board and you’ll be very happy with ant selection.
Favorites here are the beef tacos. Rellenos are good too. Everything is crowned with the varoety of salsas and toppings at the salsa bar.

i go here every time i’m in Laredo. in fact just about everyone that plays with the Laredo Philharmonic frequents this establishment. what makes the place great is the salsa bar. there are about 7 different salsas, each fantastically flavorful and spicy. there is also pico and limes and other assorted veggies to garnish your tacos. then there are the tacos, well seasoned and marinated meat grilled to perfection. and a bottle of mexican beer with a slice of lime for dessert (or flan if you prefer!) i ate here 3 times in a 36hr period. wish i had remembered to do a check-​in each time.

I always get the sirloin tacos with corn tortillas. The shrimp tacos are great too. The red and guacamole salsas are the best. I grew up eating this stuff in Cd. Juarez, MX so its always a treat coming here everytime I’m in Laredo or San Antonio. I wish they would build one in McAllen.

Great food, frequent the one in San Antonio. The family meal for four fed five of us easily.

I went here because I was looking for restaurants to eat at while on business in Laredo and this one had the most reviews — 3.
The tacos were pretty good — I got the taco meal which came with 2 tacos. I chose the pork adobada and the beef fajita taco. It came with rice, beans, and a drink for about $ 10. I wouldn’t say these are the best tacos I’ve ever had, but they were pretty good.

Better than Taco Palenque

Outstanding Mexican food! Always a welcome treat when I visit Laredo. WIth so many delicious options, its hard to make a decision. I finally settled on one bistek taco and one adobada taco. Believe me, it’s difficult not to just order one of everything and save up your spare change towards your eventual bypass surgery.
Mmmm…tacos!

I used to frequent you so much. ahhh I miss this place– I think I went there a lot when I was in high school– it was food for my brain hah. Best Arrachera hands down. The fajita quesadillas are so so so tasty. Good times at the Taco Tote and good memories!

Setting: We didn’t stay to eat… we were on the go. We ordered take out.
Food: Yum! One of the best fajitas I’ve had. We ate here twice so it wasn’t just coz I was super hungry. :) The different salsas are all good… you must try them all. They’re not that spicy though, so if you’re a spicy afficianado, you might be disappointed. But you won’t be disappointed with the taste!
Service: Didn’t sit down to eat.
