K J★★★★El Paisano may not win any design awards — the place could use some TLC — but don’t let that fool you. I’m from Arizona and a bit of a foodie, and these tacos hit the spot. The steak could’ve used a little more char, but the toppings were fresh and the flavor was authentic. The real stars? The sauces. The green has that perfect tomatillo tang, and the red packs serious heat with real chili flavor — not that “Midwest spicy” nonsense. 🌶️ If you can overlook the décor, your taste buds will be very happy
Greg Crowley★★★★★These tacos are legit. Very authentic, very tasty. The Lengua are hands down the best around.
Aaron Applegate★★★★★Although it isn't a sit down restaurant experience, this place is superb! The tacos from this place will take you right back to an authentic street taco experience you had while vacationing in Mexico. Authentic flavors and hefty portions of meat in the tacos! El Paisano is my go-to neighborhood taco joint!
Alexis Nolte★★★★★Always amazing, affordable and authentic as it gets. Today we went for marinated pork, steak, cow tongue, and chicken. The sauces are delicious too! We’re from San Diego and have a hard time eating Mexican in the Midwest… tastes like home
