" Drove through Glenwood Springs and discovered El Taco Express—a pleasant surprise! The tacos were deliciously fresh, and the chorizo had just the right amount of spice. The service was friendly and quick, but seating was a bit limited. Still, the outdoor vibe made it worth it. Definitely planning to return next time I’m in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic taco place! El Taco Express, as the name suggests, provided a speedy service with tacos that did not compromise on flavor. The birria was to die for, and the fresh salsas were the cherry on top. The outdoor picnic setting is charming, but be prepared for cash only. I can't wait to stop by again soon!

" I stopped by El Taco Express during my road trip, and I must say, it lived up to its reputation! I ordered their special fish taco, and it was fresh with just the right amount of crunch. The staff was friendly and quick, although the outdoor seating could get a bit crowded during peak hours. I truly appreciated how they take only cash, keeping it classic and uncomplicated. Highly recommend their churros for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at El Taco Express! The moment I took my first bite of the asada taco, I knew I had found something special. The meat was juicy and perfectly seasoned, accompanied by a variety of fresh salsas. The outdoor seating, surrounded by the mountains, offered a lovely atmosphere to enjoy my meal. To top it off, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I can't wait to return and try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lunch outing at El Taco Express and was delighted by what I tasted. The tacos were immensely satisfying, with the shrimp taco being especially noteworthy. The outdoor setting offers a unique vibe. The only drawback was the limited seating at peak hours. I would recommend visiting during less busy times if you can. Overall, a very enjoyable meal!
