Memo’s Tacos

Amazing value! 1.00 tacos which are very tasty. I had the chicken tacos which tend to be on the wrong side of bland, but this place has good ones for a great value.
Note, it is not a fancy place. It is clean, but dated and on the wrong side of run down. So it is not a place to go for décor. If you are hungry though the tacos are great and cheep. The salsa are also very good. 4 to choose from.

Let start by saying, «I love tacos». I have been here twice now and each time my experience has been consistently great. My rating is primarily based on their tacos, salsa and service. First, they start you with freshly made chips and 4 salsas, each one better then the next. Be aware, they all range from hot to really hot, but I’m cool with that. Most of their tacos sell for $ 1 each. They are a bit smaller but are crazy good. The meats are fresh and seasoned perfectly. The pollo el pastor is the bomb. The beans are great and the rice just average, but I don’t go out for Mexican to eat rice. The staff are all friendly. The physical environment looks a bit aged with no trendy ambiance, but screw that, I’m here to eat tacos. I talked to the owner/​cook who was genuinely concerned about my experience. He informed me that at 3pm everyday they have a taco bar, $ 1 a taco, not sure how late it goes but I’m definitely checking that out next time. I would like to finish this review by saying, «I love tacos». ¡buen provecho!

One question. Will I ever be hungry again. Look, we questioned the location, once inside we almost left. The place is clean and comfortable, our interaction with the server/​hostess was just awkward. Once at the table it all got good. No alcohol is served (sigh) but every single thing we ordered was tasty, fresh and Jurassic in size. The guacamole app was enough to serve a family of 8… and their friends. SO good. The burrito and quesadilla were equally as large and flavorful. Seriously, what a well kept, well hidden venue of goodness. Come here hungry…

Good tacos, not great. Very good refried beans, terrible rice.
Very cheap
Clean divey joint.

Its really hard to fine a good taco spot in the north side but man so worth it and just a $ 1 for a taco everyday can’t beat it

So nasty!!! Coming from Los Angeles where we actually do have genuine food, this place is a waste of money! The meat in the «tampiquena» was raw! & the «caldo de pollo» was literally only chicken no vegetables no flavor just boiled chicken! Yuck! The burritos have no rice or beans inside so be advised to ask for some! Their salsa is way too spicy, bottom line dont waste your time coming here!

Stopped in a couple of weeks ago to try these $ 1 tacos. They were delicious but small, which you can kind of expect at that price. The salsa and hochata was good. The waitress was nice. The place is a simple restaurant and they have a great menu. When I’m in the area, I’ll return. I’m interested in trying the burrito.

Shrimp tacos were fresh and well seasoned. I’m definitely a fan now. I’ve lived over here 3 ½ years and saw the reviews and decided to do carry out. Staff was REALLY nice, energetic and made me want to come back for more. Wish I had gotten more and wish the tacos were a bit bigger. My ONLY complaint. I most certainly will be going back soon. I’m hooked.

This is a very small hidden restaurant but a MUST go to. The service is unlike any service that is given now a days. Its a family owned restaurant with one cook and one waitress. She is very attentive, polite and very nice. To top it off, everything is delicious and very cheap! We have ordered them for two Taquizas and we will continue to come back. We recommend to all of our friends and family and they are never disappointed.

Simply amazing! Their tacos are a must have and smaller than other places so you can try a variety without feeling guilty. Just by tasting them, you will be able to tell that the owner, Guillermo, really takes pride in his food. I was so impressed that I also hired a taquero guy from them for a fundraising event I was having. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about them.
You can easily pass up the place if you’re not looking for it so keep your eyes peeled. Go in and check them out today, you’ll thank me later!

I just got back from eating at Memo’s. It’s a place you could easily pass up if you don’t know what to look for. We did a tasting for a party my friends are having and our table ate quite a few tacos.
I had the pollo al pastor tacos which were probably the best chicken tacos I’ve ever had in my life! I had three on my plate and could have easily eaten an entire extra plate of them. My friends had a steak one with chorizo which they absolutely loved too.
The owner was super nice. To top it off, his catering prices are super cheap! As for a meal, where else can you get excellent tacos for $ 1 each? I will definitely be going back there.

We stumbled upon this place as we got tired of waiting for the freight train on Narragansett and boy I am glad the train stopped us. Memo’s Tacos has great authentic Mexican food and it’s BYOB! They have lots of traditional dishes and some unique taco combinations that are definitely worth trying. The salsa changes every time we go there, and we have never been disappointed by any of the salsas, they are all delicious! You can tell that the cook loves his restaurant by the way he cooks his food, with passion and innovation. The waitress there already knows my usual order and always greets us with a smile as we walk in. I highly recommend Memo’s Tacos to anyone looking for a quick bite or a casual night out.

Today was my first time coming to Memo’s Tacos. My brothers and brother in law have been raving about this place for the longest time and I finally decided to give it a try. Don Guillermo is the owner and knows almost all my family. He gets his business from word of mouth and it travels fast. Today, I had a super torta, which consists of mayo, grilled chicken, ham, cheese, and bacon topped with lettuce, avocado, tomatoes and onion on French bread and it’s HUGE. The portion was enormous for the price and it included fries. Like most Mexican restaurants, we were served fresh crunchy tortilla chips with two homemade salsas. We were also given a small portion of beans with nopales (cactus) and fresh cheese and it all tasted amazing. Don Guillermo asked for suggestions and constructive criticism, as his restaurant is very new and he’s looking to gain popularity. I wish him the best and I hope his restaurant gains great success. He cooks the food himself and with great pride. You don’t get that at most restaurants where stuff is pre-​made the night before. This food is made fresh off the grill and the atmosphere is one of a family restaurant. I look forward to trying more of his menu items soon.

When I walked into this fairly new restaurant there was a group of people huddled around the bar area and everyone looked surprised I was there, including the waitress who didn’t know what to do. Finally the chef came out and told me to sit wherever I wanted. I suppose they must have thought I was an inspector or something. The waitress, who was a pretty Mexican girl, was fairly attentive but never smiled and spent most of my meal looking at her shoes in what appeared to be agony at being there.
I ordered the queso fundido w/​chorizo and the enchiladas suizas rojas. The food was really outstanding. The queso fundido came swimming in its own fat and the flour tortillas that came with them were obviously toasted on a greasy griddle. At first I balked, but then I remembered my culinary training and the adage «Fat equals flavor», and oh was this dish delicious. I think the calories could have kept a basketball team fed for a week but it was yummy. The enchilladas were also delicious mainly due to the wonderfully intricate rojas sauce that it was served with. The chef said he toasts the five different chiles that are used in the sauce giving it extra flavor. The chicken itself should have been shredded to make it a little more tender and easier to eat but the dish was good.
I have high hopes that this restaurant will get over its birth pains and find a way to get the waitress to develop a more friendly demeanor. The food here is worth a try.
