Our Story

Mexican roots.
Heart of
Sanford.

El Tomatillo Taqueria is a family-owned restaurant founded by cousins Luis Burgos and Fredy Gonzalez-Burgos. The idea grew out of their travels through Mexico and their passion for traditional street food.

Inspired by the recipes, fresh ingredients and flavors they discovered along the way, they brought that experience to the heart of Downtown Sanford.

Here, we believe authenticity lives in the food, in sharing a table, and in making everyone feel welcome.

“You come in as a customer and leave as a friend.”
