Tacos were RIDICULOUSLY small and over $2 each.....asked for extra hot sauce, told me, "You already have it on the tacos." Okay 👍
Place has a weird layout, and tables are dirty, which is why we got the order to go

This place has terrible customer service! So I just got done ordering from this place, my wife and I placed an order and the whole time the guy was snapping like very impatient. It’s not like we were taking forever or being picky. Also note it was busy at all. After I gave him the card I asked can I please have the drink as I wait? He snapped out and said uh when I get a chance then yeah. I said huh? It was a pre made tamarindo drink. I said yeah I just paid and have to wait for my food I’d appreciate if I could have my drink I just paid after all. He said you know what if I get a chance I’ll get you it. What? Are you serious? Let’s not forget my wife and I were nothing but cute outs as I always am. I was raised right and I’m a veteran so respect is in my nature. I will never come again. This run down place needs business I can guarantee you that and that’s how you return the favor or customers supporting your business. I do NOT recommend. Never again, I hope that wasn’t the manager or owner and I hope that they read this because I would be disappointed and ashamed if someone that worked for me spoke to customers like that. Shame on you. Tacos El Grullo Inc is off my list. Also, maybe you shouldn’t be grilling your meat outside on a grill just saying.

1st time I go to this restaurant. The tacos are really good. Especially their ceboyitas and grilled chillis. The tacos are very tasty. Definitely will come back. Thanks for the delicious guys.

I recommend this place to get your tacos grub on. They are so good you get your money worth in portion. The customer service is amazing even when they are busy. You really need to try this restaurant. You won't regret it

Delicious Tacos! I was curious to taste their Tacos. Especially the Vampiro Tacos. I saw a few mentioned on the reviews about them. I've never had them before. I even googled what Vampiro Tacos were. So its a Taco where the tortilla is cooked to the point of crispy.. and along with melted cheese. Similar to maybe like an ... open faced crispy cheese quesadilla ( corn tortilla) - Taco .
Well it was good!! 👍👍
The meat was very good. I ordered the 4 Taco special. 2 Carnitas and 2 Asada.
I will most definitely return to try other items on their menu. I am glad I tried this spot. It was the good reviews that I was drawn to. So hopefully someone will read this review and trust that this place is worth trying.
$1 Taco Tuesdays!

We asked for mild on the red burrito, but the wet burrito was far too spicy, but not spicy enough that it wasn't enjoyable. The tacos are pretty tasty. I enjoyed eating their food.
