Taqueria El Paso is recognized for its authentic Mexican cuisine, with birria tacos standing out as a customer favorite. Reviewers consistently praise the freshness of ingredients and traditional preparation methods that deliver bold, satisfying flavors. The restaurant operates with a casual, self-serve model where patrons order and pay at the counter, which is appreciated for its efficiency and no-wait service. While the atmosphere is described as rustic and modest, cleanliness and a welcoming environment are commonly noted. Limited parking and seating are frequent remarks, reflecting the venue’s small, often busy setting that balances dine-in and a robust takeout business. Beverage options, including specialty drinks and quality fountain sodas, contribute positively to the overall experience. Staff willingness to accommodate special requests further enhances customer satisfaction, making Taqueria El Paso a popular local spot for fast, flavorful Mexican fare.

Great food! Parking is terrible tho. Very small lot. Whole in the wall place. Kind of a self serve find your own seat. Go to counter for menu pick what you go back to counter place order. Get your own drinks scrape your own plate when done pay at counter when ready to leave. Nothing wrong with that at all kind of like it. No waiting on service. Food was out in a timely manner. Tables did feel a bit sticky tho only complaint to be honest.

We had birria tacos at many places we visited including in Mexico, at Taqueria El Paso is our favorite. I also like tacos with beef tongue and just beef. They have Jamaica drink very refreshing. This is one of not many places in the area that we can get good fountain coke, just like Florida. Plenty of seatings and clean.

Food was very good. It's all self serve for beverages and you buss your own table. Pay at the end , they do not show the break down of items charged so pay attention. Great spot to stop in again for some good food. Clean and fresh.

A wonderful rustic place to eat in akron. Really fresh ingredients put together in traditional Mexican style. The staff is more than willing to accommodate special orders and special requests. Many interesting choices for drinks. I don't see how you can go wrong. There is limited seating and they are usually very busy. They do a huge to go business, but they do have indoor seating.

Couldn't love this place any more, absolutely phenomenal food. Made with very fresh ingredients, and always served lightening fast. Staff works very hard and the food is top notch Mexican. I get the Barilla tacos, Frito burrito or chicken chimichangas, and all three are absolute perfection. My only real complaint is the parking lot is TINY and very hard to get in and out of when it's busy. Street parking is kind of minimal too.

This place seems to be a well kept secret. But it is a great place for authentic Mexican food. I ordered some chicken tacos for lunch takeout. Everything was well seasoned and the sauces were delicious. It was ready within 10 minutes. The website wasn't working for online orders, but it was easy to call in my order and pick it up. The inside is somewhat small, as is the parking area. But the atmosphere is fantastic. I love the choice of wood for the booths. I will definitely eat here again and look forward to trying other dishes here.

I absolutely love this place. I’ve been coming here for years before they expanded and before they had a building when they just had a small little taco trailer that they used to sell food out of this place is absolutely amazing. I have never had a bad experience. The staff so good my only issue with this place is they don’t deliver and you can’t order online and have it delivered. I live across town and it’s hard for me to get, but that has nothing to do with the quality of this place I used to live right next-door and I would eat this place 2 to 3 times a week. It’s so good. I’d still be eating it 2 to 3 times a week but since I moved, I no longer have that luxury.
