Hands down the best juiciest biggest (massively huge and oh so good) steak tacos in Lafayette. I don’t know much about the other food as I haven’t tried it. It I can guarantee it’s prob top notch! And for the same price as those little inky dinky steak tacos every other taco place offers.

BEST TACOS IN INDIANA!!!…the steak and tripe tacos are my favorite, every taco gets overloaded with meat (not stingy at all), the meat gets a seasoned and cooked to perfection. I love the fact you get guacamole on top of it. Reminds me of tacos I would always get in Tijuana, Mexico. I tried the torta cubana and al pastor as well and they are amazing. Again full of flavor and very enjoyable. I don’t go to any other taco spot in town. The lady with the glasses that always greets me and attends me very well is very nice and I appreciate the service you give me every time I go. I always leave satisfied. Thank you el Chicano I hope you get blessed with customers for many many years to come. You definitely won a customer with me and my family!
