About El Taquito Express Topeka

Three different ways to order a taco plate

El Taquito Express makes the difference between its taco combinations unusually clear. The ordinary order is four tacos with a chosen filling, including asada, chicken, pastor, beef or cochinita. The fish combination is three tacos with lettuce, pico de gallo and sauce, accompanied by rice and beans. The shrimp combination also has three tacos, but puts rice, cilantro and sauce with the shrimp.

Taco Naco follows another construction: asada, beans, onion and cilantro, with queso beside a three-taco combination. Someone comparing it with the seafood plates is choosing both a filling and a different set of accompaniments. Individual soft, crunchy, shrimp, fish and Naco tacos are also listed, allowing a smaller mixed order.

Picadas provide a thicker base topped with beans, onion, Mexican cheese and a choice of mild or hot salsa. The burrito wraps meat with beans, rice, pico, guacamole and cheese. A torta changes to bread with beans, lettuce, mayonnaise and pico, with fries on the side. The menu’s Papas Lokas uses cheese and queso over potatoes, with meat added separately.

Breakfast, direct orders and the current phone

Breakfast burritos include bacon, chorizo or sausage with egg, cheese and beans. The Tortilla Pancake is a savory plate of three fried tortillas with over-hard eggs, pico, shredded cheese and queso, plus rice and beans. It should not be mistaken for an ordinary sweet pancake.

The address is 5141 Southwest 29th Street. The current official site publishes 785-645-3560. It lists Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday 9 a.m.–7 p.m., Tuesday and Friday 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sunday is not offered in the weekly schedule. The direct ordering site has separate pickup and delivery choices. This telephone is the restaurant contact, not a dedicated delivery line.
