The Taco Shop

Arguably the best street tacos in Oxford, MS and surrounding areas. They are just GOOD. The people in here are extremely friendly and service is very good. Be prepared, to wait a bit for your order, but trust me when I say it is worth it. This place is relatively small, and space is limited. I would suggest getting there early on Sundays, because it fills up quickly. They offer 2 or 3 tables outside on a covered porch so you can enjoy the weather if you'd like. Inside will probably hold 30 people give or take. Kind of condensed if that makes sense You have to ask for salsa and chips, etc. unlike most Mexican joints, so don't forget to ask. They won't just bring it to you. Most of those things are a la carte. You can tell the chips are homemade. Might need to add a bit of salt to the chips. I've been to this place a handful of times. I believe my favorite tacos are the Barbacoa or the Al pastor. (Don't let the word lamb scare you off) They also have several authentic Mexican ingredients, spices, and other grocery items for sell in here as well. Be sure to check those out before leaving.

Generic name, speciality tacos! The Taco Shop is the real Mexican deal.In an unassuming strip mall, the Taco Shop is a speciality Mexican food store and sit down restaurant. This shop does not mess around--the chips are thick and real and the salsas are made it house.The menu is streamlined which makes things simple. I had three different tacos: grilled chicken, fish (tilapia), and vegetarian. The chicken was cubed and crisp without dryness. The tilipia was fried and in one filet which worked to hold the taco together. The vegetarian was fresh and varied with avocado, cilantro, shredded iceburg lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. The verde (green) salsa complimented each of them with a bit of bite but not too much for this Midwestern palate. A friendly, unpretentious, and pickers' choice place!

This place was good right up until the last time I went. The waitress treated me like I was a dumb white gringo, she acted like i couldn't understand her bad mouthing me in front of my friend. I don't remember her name but I don't recommend this place noir the waitress that served me. If she ends up reading this, you need to learn better manners that don't come out of a donkey's butt.

Felt like I was back in LA . I loved this place and will be going again soon. Try it you'll like it!!

This place has recently been sold. The 'Taco Shop' of old was AWESOME, The tacos I ordered tonight arrived, THEY ARE HORRIBLE. Photo Attached. Sold or not, new owners or not, why try to fix things that aren't broken in the first place. On to the next taco shop for us here in Oxford, they're a dime a dozen ...I'm sure there's a really good right around the next corner.

That have good service and good food also have verity of mexican products too. Have outside seating

The best tacos & Mexican food in Oxford hands down! I love this tiny place sooooo much, truly a hidden gem :)

This place was delicious! The shredded chicken was seasoned very nicely. The onions and cilantro on the tacos add so much. Two tortillas for each taco to make sure they don't break and fall apart. The cheese was really runny which I wasn't expecting, but it had nice flavor. The chips were yummy. Not too expensive either.

Sorry, but this place doesn't do it for me. Guacamole was thick pea soup and tasted off - My partner ordered it and just the appearance put her off, and she wouldn't even taste it. Non traditional (which was fine) green salsa was too thin to stick to the chips. While the chips were freshly made, they were overly oily out of the fryer. Side of rice was dry and tasteless. Tacos were ok, but nothing special. The one redeeming item was my chorizo torta. Chorizo was excellent, and complemented well with the other toppings. Bread was good as well, though didn't appear to be baked on site.The server tried, but that also fell short, though not necessarily her fault. The chips were not ready, and didn't come out until we had pretty much finished our meal. Same with salsa and guacamole. It threw off the flow of the meal and meant we didn't have the guacamole or salsa to add to our main courses. The part that was on the server was checking back with us. No refills on drinks, never got the check, and no real checks on everything.The good torta couldn't overcome all the issues we ran into. And the food just wasn't there for us. My partner summarized it as we drove out of the parking lot: "Hated the food. I don't ever want to come back."

Best dine in Latin American food in Oxford. Doesn't feel like a Tex-Amex factory, and has a lot of charm. They have good fish that won't get you sick, and the service is very fast. It has a nice atmosphere, and you can check out a grocery in the restaurant while you wait for your food.
