Something real is coming to Richfield... and it’s got glasses, gloves, and a whole lot of attitude.
El Taco Real officially opens May 8!

We’ve been slow-cooking this idea for years — and now, we’re finally ready to serve you tacos so good they might make you question your life choices (like why you ever settled for less).

Bring your friends. Bring your appetite.
And if you see this handsome taco waving, don’t worry… he’s not lost — he’s just really excited to meet you.

Authentic Mexican tacos. Royal flavor. Zero BS.
El Taco Real – The Real Taste of Royalty

Follow us. Stay tuned. Things are about to get deliciously real.
