Taqueria El Tapatio

"This is your classic “go-to” Mexican food spot. It has all the character and charisma one could ask for from an honest burrito joint. The food is simple, affordable, and always incredible. Plus, they’re open until 2:30 in the morning, so if you need a guilty late night meal after the bars let out, El Tapatio is the place for you. When you visit, be sure to try a wet burrito, a cheese taco, or the Torta!" - Forth + Back

"Look for the brightly painted a-frame on Glendale Avenue to find Taqueria El Tapatio, a small taqueria serving some of the best Mexican food in Glendale. The constantly busy restaurant serves up tacos, burritos, nachos, and more out of a take-out window. While there are a few tables on-site, during peak hours the best bet is to take the food to go." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

"If the idea of having a slice of American cheese wrapped around your taco is incalculably repulsive, we’ve got news for you - Taqueria El Tapatio does it and it’s great. Are these the best tacos in the universe? Of course not. But for $2 a piece, this old-school, order-at-the-window spot on the south side of Glendale is one of our favorite taco standbys in the area." - Brant Cox
