Catrinas Tequila & Taco Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (265) • $$

"When you walk into the restaurant the first impression is, there is lots of decorative details. They have an alter and decor for Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, the celebration of life and death. There are Latin celebrities on walls, Mexican decorations that entertain you as you wait for a server to take your order.The food is as detailed as the decor. I had the best plantains ever. The guacamole was very different, not bad, but surprisingly different. The street tacos had developed authentic taste. Everything was good, except our server. She could be a bit more curtious.Since I have had worse servers and much worse food, I will just hope she was having a bad day.Will I be back? You betcha!"

Toros Tacos Y Tequila

★★★★☆ 4.3 (43)

"We had a lovely dinner here! We ordered a taco bowl, shrimp tacos, ACP, steak tacos and chipotle fries. The shrimp tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my hubby loved them. Mexican corn was sooooo good. Our food was served very fast! All good was very good and tasted fresh. We also ordered two beers and two mixed drinks - everything was delicious! $40 for booze, pricey but the mixed drinks were very good and not watered down. Lots of parking and the employees were all so friendly and cheerful. Three different employees came by our table to check on us during our meal. Ambiance is casual and very inviting, decor is nice, ladies room was spotless. The outdoor patio will be where sit next time! Side note - by the time we left, this place was hopping!"

"Small place, a bar, a couple of indoor tables and outdoor seating. Very simple menu of fantastic tocos and yummy frozen margaritas both are $5 each. Service is decent, they do it all! Take your order, make you tacos, and poor your drinks."

Death By Taco

★★★★☆ 3.8 (6)

"Fantastic flavor combos! The crispy fish taco doesn't disappoint with a large piece of fish on a corn tortilla with cabbage and some secret sauce. The fried avocado taco was out of the park! Spectacularly balanced flavor with a bit of a kick against the gorgeous creaminess of the avocado. If you pass on this food truck, your taste buds may never forgive you."

The Pickled Pub

★★★★☆ 4 (24)

"I found it strange that one of the Pickled Onion locations was so close to The Pickled Pub. We decided to stop in here to watch a game and to grab food and beers. It was a round of beers and the fried pickles and philly cheese steak egg rolls to start for our party. For our entrees it was the mile high man burger with fries for my husband and 9 boneless wings in the bourbon BBQ sauce for me. Our friend ordered the wings in the buffalo hot sauce but the sauce was lacking. I really wanted carrot sticks with the wings but we only got celery. The table favorite was the egg rolls, the rest of the food was just okay."

Street Tacos Cantina

★★★★★ 4.6 (64)

"I really wanted to like this place because the ambience is cool. Ordered take out before but never been inside thought I would give it a go . They play Spanish music. It's all fun and colorful with lots of art and an outside patio in the front. However, I've tried plenty of tacos in my life and these did not hit the spot. The meat was great. It was just missing a glob of good guacamole and sour cream. It was missing flavor. The nachos supreme were $14 and they were trash cold cheese and not enough of anything my kids left it .chimichanga was huge worth the money according to my husband . The service was a bit slow waited 10 min for our drink because they had to make a new batch of horchata The cashier was nice and the system asks you for a tip in advance . The restroom is for 1 person and it had pee all over the seat . To close at $5 a taco I expected more and the nachos could have gone to Taco Bell for more ."

★★★★★ 4.5 (90) • $$

"So it was pretty good. The tacos are 7 dollars a taco. The fried chicken meal is MASSIVE. So many fries, but the sauce that it's baked with is amazing. The beef and broccoli was just okay. I'd come back again but it's a little bit on the pricey side for the quality. Still good though. Nice atmosphere outside as well as inside."

Farmers and Merchants

★★★★☆ 4.1 (21)

"Happy to see Farmers and Merchants reopen! Daily special today was tacos and margarita for $12. We had the brisket and fish tacos, both were delicious. Tacos came with queso with corn, guacamole that we ordered be placed on the side, and chips. You have your option of margaritas, we started with a classic and then tried the pineapple and blueberry flavors. All very good. This is a cute restaurant with exposed brick and large windows. Staff was attentive and helpful . Welcome back F&M!"

"Just had dinner here and it was pretty great. Super fast, nice server. I had the enchiladas mole and I really liked the mole sauce. I lot of places it's just "spicy brown", but this one had some flavor. also, the rice was not just plain white rice. It was well cooked and high quality with a light flavor I couldn't put my finger on. They don't have their liquor license as if this review, but it's definitely worth checking out."

Tacos Don Vargas

★★★★★ 5 (12)

"The freshest Tacos you'll find anywhere. It's located inside the grocery store, so when I ordered guacamole they literally took avocados and lime from their grocery store to make it! The owner is pleasant and helpful."

Tacos Oaxaca

★★★★☆ 4.3 (210)

"This restaurant is FIRE! (Hard stop) It's giving amazing taco truck, in dine-in restaurant form and I love that for me. The food and service were great, and they probably need more staff as the locals have spoken-- they love it and are continually streaming in! I tried the beef tacos, queso fundido (the star) , and Guac. All were tasty and should be noted by me forgetting to get a photo before devouring. Again, I'm all in on this spot and will return as soon as possible."

Crafted - The Art of the Taco

★★★★☆ 4.1 (999) • $$

"Great place to grab a quick bite before a show at the Tanger center....just a few blocks down on Elm. Great fun atmosphere, great varied menu of tacos and burgers. Lots of fun drinks, especially seasonal flavors. They have a lot of margaritas on then menu, but I went with the red blend wine and my friend had a beer. Decided to go with tacos as it was also a Tuesday! I chose the Bollywood ! A nice riff on Indian flavors . Tandoori style chicken, mint chutney, cilantro lime rice, tamarind, cilantro, pickled onions and puffed rice. Also comes with a side , I chose the cilantro lime rice not realizing there was some in my tacos! Honestly i didn't detect any cilantro lime in the rice, it actually had a red tint to it, no idea what was going on with that and was kinda over cooked . The tacos on the other hand were amazing! Great little spice pockets and I could make out every ingredient in it as I ate it. You chose flour or corn tortillas, mine came with two corn on each tacos (you get 2). My friend had the fixie tacos with sweet potato fries. Hers had braised beef, grilled pineapple, sweet spicy chilli sauce, coconut aioli , cilantro and scallions. Nice cross of sweet and spicy. She loved them and yes those fries are amazing! I should have gotten those! Service was ok, little slow, but we also had a trainee, so she was fine! We had plenty of time to get to our show. Nice casual eatery, I loved the variations on the tacos and the same on the burger menu, definitely hard to pick!"

Mami Nano’s Tacos

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"This spot is right around the corner from me and I finally stopped by and tried them out. When I tell you these tacos were amazing, words can't describe them. You can choose from chicken, steak, pulled pork, marinated pork, birria tacos and they are all so good. I've been a number of times since my first visit and they never disappoint. Their quesabirria is amazing too and the consumme is a must have with it."

El Potosino Taqueria & Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"New place in a town of three Mexican restaurants already.I enjoy trying new restaurants. This one is different, authentic foods, and beautifully plated. Even the chips and salsa arrive on a platter.Service was prompt, friendly. The server, Jaleen, answered questions well.Fountain Coke products, bottled Mexican sodas, sweet and half and half tea. Unfortunately, there was no unsweetened tea, but water with lemon was good. Coffee, horchata, and Jarrito products are also offered.Today, I enjoyed Enchiladas Posotinas. Menu said five, plate came with four, plus lacking the avocado and the pork skins. I enjoyed it anyway. Salsa was well seasoned, mild with a hint of a kick and just the right thickness. Colorful decor, traditional music to add to the experience. Support local! Let's help this one succeed."

Chido Taco

"Returned for dinner and had another great experience. Forget the fish tacos - the new move is the braised beef quesabirria. Queso is still fire, too."

Tacos Mi Sazon Picozo

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

"Great people, great food. What can I really say?? It's an amazing taco truck with awesome prices. I ordered taco asada, burrito chorizo, torta asada, quesabirria, and agua de horchata. Every single thing was delicious. No complaints at all. They are cash only and parked in an open field behind a chain link fence."

Tacos Paraíso

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"Ordered from the food truck when it was at Havoc Brewing. The red truck with a pretty extensive menu had a nice ambiance. I walked up and they took my order right away and said come back in 10 or 15, one or the other.It was ready after I got a beer, sat down with friends and walked back out. The salsa comes in teeny tiny cups. Good thing you get two. Unfortunately, they were out of the red sauce, so I got two of the green. The Pollo gringo which came with a bag of chips tasted pretty good if a little bland, glad I had the salsa to pour on top. A bit disappointed with the amount I got for the price. The chips I had left over went in the trash b/c they were not that good. An average Mexican food truck but worth a try."

Habañero's Taqueria

★★★★☆ 4.4 (176) • $

"Fast and friendly service, came for dinner on a Friday night and got seated immediately. Got a taco platter with 3 different tacos and a burrito. Both dishes were really good and the salsa that came with the meals had some heat. Overall a good place to have Mexican food. Decor was pretty cool with lots of pictures on the wall that have Mexican themes."

Evelyn’s Tex-Mex BBQ

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"Huge & Spacious Gravel Parking Lot!!!! Frank (server + preparer) was absolutely amazing + fabulous! It was Taco Tuesday and I wanted to try Brisket Tacos. I'd heard about Evelyn's Tex-Amex BBQ on IG so I gave it a shot. The Brisket was very well prepared, juicy, and honestly Done To Perfection!!!!! Side Orders were Mac&Cheese and Rice&Peas. Got an order of Chicken Quesadillas with the same sides for my wife, but didn't take any pictures (). She did however brag about her order and that everything was delicious! Most Definitely will be making another Taco Tuesday with Evelyn's Tex-Mex BBQ"

★★★★☆ 4.4 (17)

"I have been here countless times and everytime the quality level remains the same no matter what type of tacos I get. The carne Asada, al pastor and chorizo are standbys. I really need to try sopes next time im there. Its a bit of an odd setup with a small dining room in what looks to be an old car garage that is kind of in the open so expect it to be hot in the summer or cold in the winter because youre essentially eating outside. Parking is limited but I have never had a problem."

Taquiza la Guadalupana

★★★★☆ 4 (7)

"We discovered that this delicious food truck was coming to Zebulon on Cinco de Mayo. We wanted fresh authentic tacos. They had delicious tacos for $2 and a yummy quesadilla for $10. It was easy to call ahead our order and we picked it up. Great presentation. I hope to try them again soon."

Garnachas Rivera

★★★★☆ 4 (11)

"This is hands down one of my favorite food trucks! I have only ever had their tacos but they are my favorite. My go to tacos here are the cabeza and lengua tacos, but last time I came they were sold out :( I got the asada instead which were still delicious. I also decided to try the tripa taco which I have never had before. Definitely add it to your list because it is made to perfection. It has a crunchy, salty, delicious flavor to it. They give you grilled onions, lime, and a red and green sauce. If you want even spicier, they have an orange-red sauce that is REALLY spicy. In terms of the atmosphere, there is a wonderful outdoor seating area where they play music on the speakers. The service is also always amazing and everyone is always so nice! Great local spot."

Tacos El Niño

★★★★☆ 4.1 (14)

"Tacos El Nino is a great option if you're looking for food late at night in Chapel Hill/Carrboro. They serve up authentic Mexican food at a really affordable price and their portions are huge. Their service is pretty quick and there are a few tables near the truck where you can eat outdoors.I got a Chicken Torta, which is basically a sandwich, and it can easily feed two or three people. I also got a Barbacoa Taco and it includes two skins. Here's a pro tip: split the meat that's included onto both of the skins so you end up with two tacos! The Barbacoa was delicious but I wouldn't suggest getting the Chicken; it's a bit dry and not as flavorful as their other protein choices.TLDR: A bang for your buck! Affordable and delicious Mexican street food."

Gym Tacos

★★★★★ 4.6 (168) • $

"We went to Gym tacos yesterday for lunch and the food was great! They had very large portions and quality meat in the quesadilla. I ordered the asada quesadilla with a side of chips. The quesadilla was really tasty and was such a large portion! The chips also came with a side of queso, which was a nice addition! It only took about 5 minutes to get our food, which was very quick! We really enjoyed Gym Tacos and would come back if we were looking for a quick lunch in Raleigh again!"

Tacos Neza

★★★★★ 4.9 (19)

"Don't judge a book by its cover. The Tacos Neza food truck (technically, a food trailer, hauled by an SUV) visited our apartment complex in Chapel Hill this past Tuesday. While not as fancy and polished-looking as other food trucks (it was also relatively loud because of their generator/compressor), Tacos Neza has it where it counts -- the food and service. I'd put Tacos Neza's food up against any other food truck's food. It's that good. These guys can definitely hold their own.Tacos Neza offers tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and tortas. During our visit, there were about a dozen different taco varieties and over a half-dozen torta options. The friendly lady at the order window told us they were selling special 3 for $10 taco plates with special tacos $1 extra each. We got one of the plates with two special tacos, so $12, and doing math backwards, that meant the torta, which we also got, was $8, since our total bill was $20 after tax, but before tip.Here's what we got:* Three Taco Plate ($10) - marinated pork (pastor), beef tongue (lengua, +$1), and mixed steak (asada) and chorizo sausage (campechano, +$1) tacos* Niurka Torta ($8) - milanesa de pollo (breaded chicken steak), sausage, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, jalapeno, and mayo with a side of friesAll of our food was made to order. There was only one couple in line ahead of us so our order was cooked up relatively quick. The tacos and torta were packed in foil-lined foam containers, each including spicy red salsa on the side. The food smelled great and as soon as we got back inside and opened the boxes, we knew it was going to be good. The food looked terrific. Portions were generous and the presentation was better than expected.The tacos were served the traditional Mexican way, on corn tortillas with plenty of chopped white onion and cilantro. Also included was lime, cucumber, radish, a small block of queso fresco (a welcome surprise), and a chile toreado (a seasoned and fried jalapeno). The torta was stacked high and they made sure to include packets of ketchup for the fries. Yum.Everything was delicious. All of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The hot sauce and chile toreado brought the heat, particularly the latter. The taco meats were nicely seasoned, tender, juicy, and tasty. The lengua was exceptional in terms of both taste and texture. The quality was good and they cooked it just right. The pastor was marinated well and the campechano was finely mixed (probably the best mixed campechano I've had). Also, I really enjoyed the accoutrements. That was an extra touch that set Tacos Neza apart from other taco food trucks I've tried.The Niurka torta was wonderful. I highly recommend it. I asked the lady behind the counter which torta came packed with the most stuff and she steered me towards the Niurka, describing it as their Mexican version of the Cuban sandwich. Sure, a Cuban on steroids. Just take a look at my pictures, especially the cross section. My favorite parts of the torta were the crispy ends of milanesa, the sizable portions of sausage (essentially plain hot dog), and the fresh, ripe pieces of avocado. Simply put, this was a savory and filling sandwich, consisting of several delectable ingredients, that left me feeling very satisfied.Service was great. I'd order everything we had again. Some improvements Tacos Neza can make:1. Allow online ordering. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, this option is more important than ever.2. Put prices on the menu. That way, customers don't have to ask how much different items cost.3. Provide itemized receipts. The automatically-emailed receipt I received from Square simply showed a "Custom Amount" of $20.On its trailer and business card, Tacos Neza uses an image of Bart Simpson holding a taco and a torta. If the business gets too popular, they might have to remove Bart due to copyright infringement.You can find Tacos Neza on the following social media platforms:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TacosNeza919/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TacosNezaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tacosneza919/Enjoy."

Crazy Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.3 (61) • $

"Ok, I hope you're ready about the deliciousness I'm about to share with you. This place knows exactly what they are doing! This delicious creation you are looking at is a Cuban Torta. I didn't realize how packed full this giant sucker was. What's in this mouth watering monstrosity you ask? I'm not even completely sure. There was a hot dog, chorizo, ham, jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, avocado, sour cream (I think), and some other things. But let me tell you, ever bite was phenomenal! This little shack got it going on!Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the tacos. A certain boyfriend got to them before I did, but I heard they were delicious as well!Don't let the appearance of this little place fool you, they know exactly what they are doing!"

Chido Taco

★★★★☆ 4 (26)

"If you're in the mood for tacos (and when am I not), this taco place on the corner of Chido St. and Taco Ave. fits the bill. Ok, maybe that's not the name of the intersection, but it's close to the theater and the downtown hotels on the south end of the city. Or just use Maps to find it.The tacos came out pretty plain, but I later found out they have a fixin's bar like Roy Rogers had back in the day. I loaded up my chorizo and Al Pastor tacos with onions and cilantro for a classic street taco style.The Shrimp Tacos were odd, but good. They had a corn tortilla laid flat with shrimp, then they melted cheese on top almost like an open face quesadilla. Sounds amazing, but eating it was a challenge.Free drink refills were available which is always a plus. Seating was a bit limited and it got crowded during the noon hour. I'd probably go again if I could beat the lunch crowds."

Taco Bamba Raleigh

★★★★☆ 4.2 (81) • $$

"So I just started a new job in town and it happens to be 2 minutes away from Taco Bamba. My boss took me there on my first day and wow! From the outdoor seating, to the salsa bar, to the creativity in tacos, it was such a cool experience.I had to get a carne asada taco, one of them had to be simple. It had steak, cilantro, and onion on a corn tortilla, nothing fancy needed. I was so impressed with the steak, the meat wasn't too small or too stringy. You could see it was actually cooked medium rare, not just to the point of being done. The Queen Bee with the spicy fried chicken, house slaw, hot honey, pickled onions, etc was an awesome blend of flavors. And I loved the Sweet Baby Jesus with Cheerwine bacon carnitas, pickled fresnos, crispy onions, crispy pork skins, etc etc. I don't know how they came up with these combinations, and yes, it's a lot of ingredients, but they are amazing tacos that you can't find at just any taqueria.The chips were fine too, just a little salt, thin cut and hot. They also have a small, but nice bar, I just hope they have Casamigo Reposado. I'll definitely be coming back, I want to try more!"

"This place was great. As soon as we walked in we were immediately greeted. The menu had many options. The food came out and it looked phenomenal. The portion sizes are big, come hungry. I had chorizo sausages with rice beans and a salad. Hubby got steak with the same sides. Our toddler got corn dogs and french fries. The food was amazing. Even the rice. Yes, the rice. It was so flavorful. The beans as well. The steak and sausages were flavorful. You can tell hard work and talent went into preparing these meals. They also have a store inside and we tried Guatemalan snacks. We will be back."

"I love that they have quesabirria tacos - I don't love that 4 of them cost $13, but that's the Los Angeles taco truck snob in me talking. The texture is right, oily and crispy but still pliable. The meat could be more flavorful, and it would be nice if the salsa packed any heat at all."
