Taco Del Norte

I have been going to Tacos del Norte since they opened. They have AMAZING SALSA. it’s not the typical tomato onion cilantro and jalapeño salsa. It’s roasted or cooked. I went there in Friday and as a Catholic I could not have my usual steak taco dinner so I got a side of rice and beans and of course salsa. I AM not a vegetarian but I was ok with this as dinner.

Ordered the taco dinner. Sampled three tacos, one chicken, one ground beef, and one pork taco. The ground beef taco was the best of the three. The chicken in the chicken taco was very very dry. And the pork taco was pretty good. The dinner came with rice and beans. Nothing special about either of them. I will not be going back. I don’t know what people are thinking when they say «this must be a good Mexican restaurant because there’s a lot of Mexicans in it.“definitely, not the case.

Tacos Del Norte has been on my radar for awhile. There’s no good reason why I’ve never tried it, just that I have my preferences for Mexican food in the area and have always just stuck to those places. I recently decided to clean out my Unilocal bookmarks from 2012 (you know, since it’s now 2 years later) and Tacos Del Norte is the first one that I can cross off of that list.
I asked friends for recommendations of all these unvisited places, and a friend told me to get anything with the spicy pork. Since I’m a lover of all things pork, I went for the pork taco dinner and also decided to try the ceviche. The total of my bill was around $ 15, which is more than I’d normally pay for a lunch. However, this is all in the name of Unilocal so I spent a little more so I could really get a good feel for the place. The ceviche was absolutely delicious and very fresh. I love that they served it with three giant chunks of avocado because it made for an awesome flavor profile. The pork tacos were each wrapped in two soft corn tortillas and I really liked the texture and the amount of spice that they had.
The only thing I wasn’t crazy on was the rice and beans. They were pretty good mixed together and I found that I ate all of them, but I wouldn’t say they were my favorite.
I did carry-​out so I’m not able to report on the service, but the lady I spoke to on the phone & that waited on me was very nice. I think I found my new go-​to for Mexican food in the KankaBourbaley area.

Amazing shrimp taco plate. Ask for it, it’s not on the menu. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. Very friendly staff.

Food has been good here for years. Great jukebox. Lots of old school tuba blowing Mexican. Fair prices and good service.

Best Mexican in these parts.

Went in to this restaurant for lunch. I was happy to see many patrons from Mexico here eating. That is usually a good sign.
This restaurant is also a «bus stop» for the Mexican version of Greyhound. I am sure that also helps the restaurant.
They have a nice cozy dinning area. I sat down and ordered their Burrito Dinner without beans for $ 7.50.
The burrito was good. It came with rice and small salad.
I would visit this restaurant again when I am in the area.
