El Paisano - Dubuque

Can't beat their tacos some of the best in town. Wish the kitchen was open a bit later and there were more menu options for the hot food. The grocery section was not very well stocked on my last visit but I think COVID had more to do with that. I will for sure continue to call this my go to place for top quality tacos, burritos, and tortas.

Call ahead before you go. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to cook. I call and they recognize my voice. Burritos and tacos are delicious.

Being a Mexican-American living in Iowa it can be extremely difficult to find the right spices and things I need to make tamales without having to drive to Chicago for them. Also, their tacos al pastor are so good!!! I grew up on homemade Tex-Mex but there food is more authentic Mexican as far as tacos go. While I can make homemade tacos at home using the knowledge that my grandmother taught me sometimes I don't feel like cooking and they help me out when I have a craving for sweet breads and certain tacos.

Best Tacos in Dubuque hands down. If you want real, tasty and filling tacos, then don't see the Al Pastor (marinated pig) is by far my favorite and go to! Sleep a small green sauce on it and it is the sky from there!

I had three Lengua Tacos yesterday, they were incredible! They were also big tacos, compared to any place I'm in front... what a great hole in the wall!
