Mr. Taco

My fiancé ate at Mr. Taco yesterday and now has food poisoning! Do not eat here! We will be calling the health department Monday morning! We know that it was Mr. Taco that made her sick because that’s the only place she ate yesterday. She’s wasn’t able to eat last night or today. Do not eat here!!!

Don’t let it scare you that this place is co located in a gas station. It is good, cheap, & authentic mexican. I have only tried the 3 taco and drink special for 5.99 (lunch). The salsa bar offers like 5 or 6 salsas and a couple snacks like peppers. Give it a try if your in the area.

I work really close to this place, but I hadn’t been to here since shortly after it opened about 6 years ago. So I thought it worthwhile to return and went with a coworker yesterday.
Big menu and as I am that rare beast, the vegetarian who likes taquerias, I am thrilled they list vegetarian variants — some taquerias look like they’re about to call 911 when I ask for a torta without meat. So I get a veggie torta sans mayo and an horchata.
Salsa bar wasn’t here the last time I was here, and it’s good, the habanero salsa in particular. Torta comes soon — sadly it’s pretty meh. The bread doesn’t pass the test — too soft/​soggy. Also they used shredded mozzarella instead of queso fresco, the onions were chopped up which made for a weird consistency, and to top it off they kept the mayo. Not indelible, but disappointing. Plus I ended up with that «bad oil» feeling afterwards — you know what I’m talking about, that feeling you get like 30 minutes after you’ve eaten at Captain D’s? That feeling. My coworker had a somewhat better experience with his tacos de carne asada, but still concurred with me.
Best off going to Don Burrito inside the farmer’s market if limited to the immediate area, or else over to Las Tortas Locas on Jonesboro Rd or La Oaxaquena if you can spare a few extra minutes. We’ll see you around 2020 for a checkup, Mr. Taco!

Great «hole-​in-​the-​wall» Mexican. A fresh and flavorful salsa bar, plus homemade corn tortillas! Wide variety, well done. It’s a great place to jump off 75 and have some delicious food. Burritos, tacos (on those homemade tortillas), chile rellenos, enchiladas and much more. They even give you chips if you dine in.

pretty decent food not so expensive I go here again

tasty menudo!!!

Authentic Mexican, very similar to what you find in northern Mexico and New Mexico. Key word is AUTHENTIC. Only reason I give it a 4/​5, and not ⁵⁄₅ is because it was a notch lower than my favorite place of all time located in New Mexico. Still, very very good and affordable.

Me and my friend was riding by and I quickly spotted this place so we stopped here. It’s been my experience that the small «hole-​in-​the-​wall» dives are really good eats and this one didn’t disappoint.
There was no air conditioning but I quickly forgot about that when I saw a sign posted up that said $ 1.40 ground beef tacos…
So I ordered one and a Horchata drink that they had in one of the cascading drink machines. This was served on a corn tortilla and if you are a person that loves HOMEMADE corn tortillas (not the crap that grocery stores carry) then you will love these tacos.
The quesedilla was awesome too. Queso cheese and tender chicken hit the spot. The quac was the best I ever tasted, and they have a variety of different sauces available on a bar for you to choose from.
Cheap, fast and delicious! Yea it’s attached to a Chevron, but that is only more convience to me anyway.
I live in Smyrna, but whenever I get a tast for some good mexican food I will be rolling on over here again.

the best guacamole i have ever tasted!
SO for $ 7.50 I had the awesome awesome awesome experience of enjoying a quick meal that was loaded with carbs. I had a chicken quesadilla meal complete with rice and refried beans. I would eat there again simply because the quesadilla was so light and cheeeeeeeeeezy. The chicken was really tender. Now the sides, get a a eh, the usual short grain not to flavorful rice and the refried beans tasting like they were straight outta the can. Would I eat there again, heck yeah because it was at least DECENT! Location is in a Chevron Gas Station but I tell ya its still a decent better than some of the chain restaurants food! The food was quick too!

Looking for a quick Mexican restaurant to go to before jumping on the interstate, we stumbled upon Mr. Taco. A year or so ago this place was an order out only but now it seems they’ve added on and have a sit down area and spice rack, with tvs here were playing Ugly Betty and other Univision shows. The place was clean and the people seemed nice but the food didn’t really do anything for us. We ordered a quesadilla to share and both Asada (beef steak) and Pastor (Marinated Pork). There was an overly large amount of grease that came with them as it nearly filled the mini trays they give you. The spice rack was fairly standard, although the avacado was very good.
Good for a gas station eatery but other than that, not very appetizing.
