What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Best Taquito is highly praised for its authentic and delicious Mexican street food, particularly its rolled tacos and loaded fries, at very affordable prices. While many rave about the quick service and friendly staff, a few diners have noted that the loaded fries can be unexpectedly pricey, and one reviewer mentioned an excessive amount of mayonnaise on their order. Despite minor concerns, most visitors find it a great local spot for a satisfying and budget-friendly meal.
"Absolutely one of my favorite eateries. They have a small menu, but everything is absolutely the very best. If you enjoy authentic Mexican street foods, then you must try The Best Taquito. Hands down the best flautas, in my opinion, and I've had a lot of them."

"Hey Yuma,
My wife and I were craving authentic flautas or rolled taquitos and tostadas without crossing the border, so we headed over The Best Taquito in 810 S. 13th Avenue here in Yuma. Let me share that they have the best tacos dorados and flautas (rolled tacos) with an authentic homemade flavor! They have an easy to read menu with an atmosphere and decor that invites to a good meal with very affordable prices. We highly recommend it. Go give the Best Taquito a try!"

5 spicy gems from Yuma’s Mexican food scene
The Best Taquito claims to serve … well, you can take a guess … and they’re confident enough to put it in their name. The restaurant was known as El Buen Taquito for more than 14 years before the name change took them from good to best. Find rolled beef tacos, a tostada, flautas, fries, a folded taco, and a variety of desserts including the chocolate chip cookie and milk cake (that’s one cake type, not a separate dessert), a cheesecake, red velvet, and carrot cake on the diverse menu.
