Ta Contento - Mex Fresh Food

This is my new favorite restaurant in Chapel Hill.This Mexican restaurant has has a great menu with many delicious options, including a full bar with many types of cocktail drinks.The service is amazing and team members are friendly and make you feel super special. The owner happened to be in and was nice enough to take a picture with me!TaContento is easy to find and located next to a gas station with plenty of free parking. Common areas are clean, colorful decorated and very Instagrammable.Overall, 100% recommended. I can't wait to come back!

The chicken tortilla soup was the best I've ever had. I can't wait to try many other things!!

My son had the taco salad, my daughter had the fajita nachos, my wife had a chicken burrito,and I had 3 tacos. The food, service, and ambiance were all very good. The tortilla chips with queso were also very good.

Made fresh!! Great service. Full bar. Margaritas!!Tacos fajita burritos Extensive menu.

Just to get a few things out of the way:* It's "gas station adjacent" - situated in an unfortunate former BK literally inside of a gas station building.* they have a truck, but this is not the truck. Also it's not a chain. * it's more expensive than hole-in-the-wall taquerias - entrees are in the $14 range.Having said all that - the food is EXCELLENT. Everything is cooked to order. I had quesabirria tacos, and my wife had chicken soup that had tons of fresh avocado in it.

Had two items Chimichanga and a steak Quesadilla. The Chimichanga was ground beef and nicely subtlety flavored. It was of good size with cheese inside with a small salad and surprisingly good rice with a small hint of heat, which I found nice. A good solid Chimichanga. The Quesadilla was another story. The steak inside was phenomenal. Unbelievably tender and the best flavor I have had ever, with alot of culinary searching behind me. I felt I may have been drinking, given my reaction, but upon extensive research, I can assure you, I was completely sober. Please give their steak a shot in any form that they will offer it to you. I sound a bit like a crazy person, but honestly, the steak was outstanding and everything was solid. One piece of advice, if you plan on using their drive-thru (cool feature) call ahead just a bit.

I tried this place at lunch time, $20 for hardly any food. I can find plenty of Mexican restaurants with better prices for a lunch menu. I definitely would not recommend.

If I could give 10 stars I would. Moved here recently after living in Texas 43 years where they have the best Mexican food in the US. Have tried numerous places here but no second visits until Ta Contento. First time I got the Ta Contento tacos. Awesome. Fresh tortillas, beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese and crema. Delish. Repeated today. Equally delish. Will be returning very soon. The Arroz con Camarón is calling my name :) Maybe most important are the people who work there. Happy people who share that happiness through their friendliness and thoughtfulness. Very rare these days. Thank you, Ta Contento for great food and great people.

I stopped by on their first Sunday open and realized they now have BRUNCH! Nora and her team are fabulous people making fresh, delicious food. I had a margarita, chips and queso, and the birria quesadilla. All of it perfectly seasoned and great portions. So happy to have them in our community - now on Sundays!

Food was plentiful, reasonably priced and delicious. My grandson ordered the street tacos with carnitas and I ordered the nachos with carnitas.He gobbled down his 3 tacos with two glasses of horchata (free refill). I could only get through 1/3 of the nacho dish and will enjoy lunch for get next two days. The nachos only $13.99, so less than $5 per meal for me. The going rate for street tacos in Chapel Hill seems to be $3-4 each, Ta Contentos price of $12.99 for 3 seemed reasonable.Considering the venue used to be a Burger King, the ambience was an improvement, but remember this is a fast food place with a drive through. I would highly recommend the food and service.
