Made fresh to order, our taquitos deliver that irresistible crunch with every bite.
El Padrino's taquitos (flautas) are a beloved Mexican classic that combines simplicity with incredible flavor and texture. We start with fresh corn tortillas, fill them with your choice of well-seasoned beef, chicken, or potato filling, then roll each one tightly by hand. The rolled tortillas are fried in hot oil until they achieve that perfect golden-brown color and satisfying crunch. The key to great taquitos is achieving the right balance – crispy on the outside while the filling remains moist and flavorful on the inside. We fry each order fresh, ensuring that every taquito arrives at your table at peak crispiness.
What sets our taquitos apart is the attention we give to both the filling and the presentation. Each filling is carefully seasoned and cooked until tender and flavorful. The taquitos are arranged on a bed of shredded lettuce and served with generous portions of fresh guacamole, creamy Mexican crema, and your choice of salsa for dipping. The combination of crispy tortilla, savory filling, cool crema, and fresh guacamole creates a perfect harmony of textures and flavors. Whether you're ordering them as an appetizer to share with friends or enjoying them as a main course, our taquitos offer that satisfying crunch and authentic Mexican flavor that keeps customers coming back for more.
