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.

I went to eat here last night with one of my cousins. Both of us are avid taco fans & have been to numerous places. We ordered carne, steak & sausage tacos, I must say they were all very good. The negative points of this restaurants are: service not so great, the waiter just set 3 different types of salad on our table without telling us the level of spiciness which led me to burn my tongue, another point for us was the fact that there is no guacamole or churros on the menu, their menu is very limited. Again, very good tacos & not expensive at all.

Pas cher pour de l'authentique mexicain.

Les sandwichs sont graisseux mais ouf: bons! Nous n'avons pas regretté d'en prendre un à 2.

Sinon, en entrée, nous avons testé la soupe & les minis-fajitas roulés avec tapenade de fèves noires au centre (Je ne me souviens plus du nom) mais, super bon pour les 2.

Les tacos avec ananas sont géniaux, c'est ceux là que je reprendrais. Enchiladas: très-trop fromagés à mon goût.

Essayez les jus, petites liqueurs & thés glacés!

Place géniale comme nous les aimons. Bon, pas cher & on voyage en bouffe :)
