During yesterday's wind gusts, our home lost power. For 21 HOURS! It made for a long day and night. When the power came back on, we were jubilant! But then, oh yeah, we needed to replace the food in our refrigerator. Ugh. In order to go on this quest, we needed sustenance. Specifically, TACOS! Off to El Yahualica we went! El Yahualica is one of the stops on the #concordtacotrail The team there is very welcoming and friendly. They were happy to answer my questions about the menu and make suggestions. Service was excellent! I chose 3 Tacos to try: Grilled Shrimp Carne Asada El Pastor These made to order tacos were served in double tortillas. Clean, fresh, bright, spicy flavors. The shrimp were grilled just right and the meats were perfectly cooked. My favorite? El Pastor! The marinade was citrusy with just the right amount of heat on the finish. We'll be back! #concordtacotrail #visitconcordca

This little taqueria has been remodeled on the inside to be very modern and spacious. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. It's in a little shopping center in a residential neighborhood and has plenty of parking. I ordered a variety of tacos to include carne asada, birria, and carnitas tacos and Camarones a la Diabla. The tacos were fresh and tasted really good. The Camarones a la Diabla was just okay. It's more of a specialty item but I thought I'd give it try since it's one of my favorite dishes. The sauce wasn't spicy enough for me and I felt it could have had more flavor. They did start making a new item, fish tacos! Which look really good in the pictures.

Went here for dinner with family. We got a child's plate for my five-year old and my wife and I got tacos. We both loved the food. Service was good. The place had decent decore. If this place took care for some little things it would be much better. Put the broom and dustpan away; out of site from the customer. Move the cardboard out of the dining area. Get rid of the unnecessary junk in the dining area.

Great experience cruising the Concord Taco Trail! Staff was excellent, appreciated the chef taking an interest in our dining experience and getting our thoughts on the food. The meats were tasty and delicious. Nice quantity of meat per taco. Pricing was very competitive. Service was fast and what a great personality! Definitely on our list of come backs - now I want to try their great looking burritos!

It's official: I'm highly addicted to the shrimp tacos here. HIGHLY addicted. They're just so damn delish!!! My go-to Taqueria for shrimp tacos recently changed their hours due to COVID-19. Because of this, it's basically been impossible for me to go there for my shrimp taco fix. Had to search for an alternative in the meantime, and Yelp led me to El Yahualica. I've actually driven passed this taqueria on numerous occasions, but for some reason, I never took the time to actually stop in until now. This place is seriously a hidden gem! It's actually not really easy to see from street view. It's tucked away in the Las Montañas shopping center in the corner. The setup is that of your typical neighborhood taqueria. No frills here, just the basics. But the TACOS!!! Sheesh. Straight addictive. It's honestly the only thing that I've had here so far, and that's really just because I can't get enough of them. My cravings drive me wild, but El Yahualica has satisfied them to a tee every single time thus far. So about them tacos: All you really need is 3. Yep. JUST 3. That's a whole meal in itself. They load them up really nice and pack those babies with all of the lovable spices and garnishments that my little heart yearns for. Their shrimp tacos are street style and they provide the radishes, pickled carrots, jalapeño peppers, limes and grilled onions that I love. Their salsas are killer! And if you like it spicy, they'll give it to you spicy. Their chips are bomb AF too! I believe that they're made in-house and it tastes as such. Oh yeah, and they're complimentary!!! Shayla LOVES free chips and salsa, especially when they're tasty. Let me not forget about their horchata!!! Not too sweet, but still delicious. The staff is always friendly whenever I come in. They've cut their hours back a bit because of the pandemic, but they're still cranking out those take out orders. I'm so happy that I found this little place! It has now become my to-go shrimp taco spot. I know that I need to probably explore their menu a bit more, but right now... I'm hooked on them tacos! Would highly recommend them too.
