So I went here thinking it would be the best Mexican food in town. I got about two bites into my torta sandwich and found a hair in it. That was the end of that. I mentioned it to one of the servers and his response was«do you want more?» I can’t speak to the quality of the food, but finding a hair in my food will keep me from ever returning.

I’ve been here at least 6 times in the last two weeks and the tacos are the best i’ve had, plus the taco bar with the topics is outstanding!!!

Strong Taco action. Fresh! Good Tortillas! Predominantemente Mexicanos, pero el menú es bilingüe. We went at a super-busy time(Sunday, right after church). Parking was tough and had to wait a while for a table to clear. Worth it! DTR has a range of Mexican restaurants. But, once again, a 5 minute trip to Garner(see my review of Moonrunners) was needed to hit the spot!

It doesn’t get more authentic than this! I’ve had the fish soups, chips and a few types of tacos. This place is where it’s at! Be sure to try the sauces first before you douse your food in them. They were spicier than expected for me, and I love spicy food.

Really great place for authentic tacos. I always go and get a variety of tacos. The tacos come with just the meat on them, and you go to a sort of taco bar and add cilantro/onions/salsa/etc. Only reason this is 4 stars and not 5 is because the last 2 or 3 times I have gone they have ran out of something. Otherwise some of the best tacos in the Triangle! I also love that their menu is in Spanish and English, not something you see so it’s nice to know what you’re ordering if you don’t speak Spanish :)

I really enjoyed coming here. The wife and I shared a plate of various tacos. The food is authentic and really delicious, and the toppings bar makes this place great fun.

I guess I’m going against the grain here but we were not impressed with this restaurant. We were driving by and stopped here because of the great reviews on Unilocal.We ordered several tacos between the two of us and they all lacked flavor. There was a self– serve topping bar but most things were so spicy and not flavorful. There weren’t any cups to put the salsas in so you had to put them on your food without tasting them first. It did seem very authentic I just was hoping for something better. We will not return.

Definitely my go to spot for fresh and authentic Mexican food. They have a counter service that moves very quickly. The menu is in Spanish and English. The staff is always willing to explain to you what something is if you don’t know. If you choose to eat in and is a beer drinker, no beer on the menu is more than $ 2.50. Some are a $ 1 .99. I love their tacos and tortas. In fact I love this place.

4 different tacos, one«small» chicken nachos, and a beer for $ 15… Wow. Probably one of the best values and most authentic Mexican joints you will dare to try. I say that because this place is super clean as opposed to most of the taquerias I have been to.(The ones in Durham with bars on the windows are what usually comes to mind). The grilled chicken nachos were great, and the«small» was actually huge. They come with a plate with the works on it. Guac, pico, sour cream, etc. Then, their salsa bar has basically anything else you could ever want — cilantro, spicy avocado salsa, tomatilla salsa, jalapeños, limes. Boom! The tacos were a bit of a let down taste wise for me though. Some were better than others, but pretty average overall. They were $ 1.79 each so I’ll cut them a break. Lol. I really liked the pescado(fish) taco! I’ll be back to try the tortas.

I’ve been a few times but we’re not out here much so its been a while. This is a big place set up for volume. They can really move people through. We sampled sopes, a burrito, a torta and rice & beans. The sopes were the best. The salsa bar is fantastic! I think the food is good to very good but it’s even more about the volume and price. You can eat like a king here for very little money. This place is well worth a visit.

This place is a good value and has good tacos but it isn’t awe-inspiring. The salsa bar has many options and is a nice touch. The large nachos were a good portion size for two hungry people and the tortilla chips were quality. We tried al pastor, mushroom, chicken, and fish(tilapia) tacos. Tacos are served with only the filling described and diners can add whatever toppings they like from the salsa bar. Al pastor tacos were the favorite.

Hidden GEM of Raleigh. If you’re craving tacos, this is the place to go! The prices are perfect and quality is amazing. I love the open bar sauce and toppings. That was definitely the cherry on top! They started offering fresh potato fries but I prefer the regular fries. There’s also a crab soup that is super delicious! It reminds me of a Thai Tum Yum soup. Variety and quality. That’s all I have to say about it.

No frills! This is the real deal for authentic & delicious Mexican food. Had carnitas & fish tacos-soo good! They have a toppings bar with all the seasonings/salsas you want. You order & pick up your food from the counter. The restaurant is clean. A lot of locals eating here and you know that you are in the right place for deliciosa auténtica comida Mexicana !

Outstanding local place for Mexican food. Fresh and well prepared. They handle a bilingual crowd easily and note on your ticket whether you order in English or Spanish and call your order number to match. I like that they clearly have put a lot of thought into the business and took it up a notch. Kudos to the owners.

Located in the middle of nowhere, this place is bit hard to find for someone who is not familiar with Raleigh area. So basically if you are driving from Chapel hill, you take exit 295 and follow the road til the end no matter how weird the surrounding changes. You will find it Food: got tacos TOGO. Beef and pork are not dry and the parley seems to be less fresh somehow. They also gave me two choices of salsa to go but for a salsa freak, that’s not enough. So I ended up at the salsa bar. The veggies are not fresh so I chose to ignore those. And there are many salsa choices(6) and I tried each of them, and all taste good Service: they have both Spanish and English waitress to serve you. Patience is filled up this place. I wasn’t sure what to ordered so they gave me time to think. Very appreciated. The service is very quickly. Overall, the place is 3.5. Should be a 4 star but the location is way too far.

Cilantro. I can’t get enough of it. And it runs aplenty on the condiment bar. I’ve been here twice with my dining companion. The tacos are super fresh and the torta cubana is something that my dining companion couldn’t even really finish, even when we shared it! My favorite tacos are the fish tacos. And of course I threw on some cilantro and lime. Simple and clean venue. If you can get past the cafeteria style and the simple surroundings, you’re in great shape. Go here. Order… everything.

It has been a while since my last visit and taqueria el Toro never disappoints. When I first walked in, I noticed that it had a small makeover where all the signs have been replaced with digital screens. We got our usual order, which was the nachos with tripe. The other meat options are great as well, but none of them can top the tripe in flavor. The nachos came with onions, Pico de gallo, pickled jalapeño pepper, cheese, and refried beans. There was also a side of guacamole and sour cream. This is the best deal out of the entire menu! The portion was enough for two people and it only cost $ 3.99. The nachos were amazing with all the delicious deep fried tripe pieces!

I’m accustomed to Texas Mexican food, but I missed my typical taco spots after traveling around the east coast. Luckily, we discovered this spot. Honestly, this food is strongly comparable to some of the best I’ve tried. First off, everything sounds delicious. I went with un quesadilla del pastor y un taco de beef head. Both were amazing and fresh! The quesadilla is made with a large corn tortilla instead of flour, and is loaded with crema, lettuce, and other toppings that you can take off by choice. The toppings bar is pretty great too. They had an interesting jalapeño «guacamole» with the appearance of a salsa that I just had to try. It was, of course, excellent. I only paid about $ 7 for my feast. We wanted dessert, so we walked over to the supermarket next door and were pleasantly greeted by some fresh and yummy tres leches cake. Spoons are available at the register if you ask.
