Review Summary

Taqueria La Matraca is described as an authentic street style taqueria with a wide range of options, where the tacos such as al pastor, lengua, suadero and bistek are praised for fresh ingredients, good tortillas and flavorful salsas, with several reviews noting that they do not use processed tortillas and that the overall flavour sets it apart from other spots. Prices are consistently described as affordable, offering great value and often highlighted as among the best deals in the area. Service is generally friendly and accommodating, though some mentions of slower pace during busy times appear, and the ambiance is simple and unpretentious with food at the forefront. A few comments point to minor drawbacks like limited vegetable options and occasional greasiness, alongside a wish for more avocado, but these are outweighed by the positive notes on authenticity, variety and reliable quality. Overall, Taqueria La Matraca comes across as a reliable, beloved choice for tasty, well seasoned tacos made with fresh ingredients.

Such a great casual taco place. Super cheap & small plates so it's perfect for a lot of variety & sharing. During the summer sitting outside & having those tacos is such a great way to spend a sunny day. Flautitas are a great starter, & don't be scared to try the beef tongue (Lengua) it's very good 🐮👅

The concept of the Taqueria is Mexican, in all aspects, however its food is not very good.

Authentic & simple location. Menu is basic Mexican. Presentation of the dishes, which is usually key for me, was ordinary. Not a bad location but simply did not meet my expectations.

I love coming here for the great tacos & the good prices, but today we didn't get our order right & when it came to pay I was practically forced to put a tip which I found I really rude since it is optional & I should not be forced or make me feel bad for choosing not to put one

Average food for an average price. Not super flavorful or tasty. Service could also be a little bit faster. Can do better.
