Looking for legit tacos in Aurora/East Denver area? Look no further! Tacos Selene not only has legit street tacos but it’s set at a great price. I was tipped off about Tacos Selene by a friend who has been in search of street-style tacos. She’s from LA so when she raved about this place, I knew I needed to try them out. I was finally able to try them out one afternoon and was a bit hesitant when I pulled up. As some reviewers noted, don’t judge a book by its cover! This was clearly a locals favorite spot as there was a line to order and the dining area was crowded on a late Saturday afternoon. I was able to try out three different meats: lengua, barbacoa and al pastor. My favorite was the barbacoa–lots of flavor and super tender. I enjoyed the other two tacos but not as much as the barbacoa. They provide two corn tortillas with each taco which was a bit too much for me but does help to keep them sturdy and not soggy. The other star of Tacos Selene is the salsa bar–lots of salsa to choose from as well as pickled vegetables and garnishes. I can understand if some people read this and think affordable or cheap = bad quality but that is not the case here. This place is definitely worth the drive out to the East side if you’re looking for delicious and affordable street style tacos!

Tortillería El Comal – Menu with Prices – 13184 Veterans Memorial Dr, Houston

First time. Wanted barbacoa and tortillas. Barbacoa was very good, not greasy. Tortillas were very good, warm just made. Salsas, cilantro and onion came with order of barbacoa. Also picked up extra container of green and red salsa. All salsas were very good. The salsa that came with barbacoa was the spiciest ( spicy but tolerable). The green salsa purchased was creamier and had bits of cilantro. Also had carnitas, was pleasantly surprised, not greasy and not dry. Glad found this place!

Taqueria La Fogata – Menu with Prices – 4623 S 33rd St, Omaha

This place is next door to Donohue’s Pub on L street. I will give this place 3 stars because the service was fast and the food was cheap. The menu is simple: tacos, tortas, burritos, and quesadillas. Meat choices include: Carne Asada Al Pastor Lengua Chorizo Tripe Barbacoa They offer $1 tacos on Thursdays after 5 pm only. The interior is sort of dated and even a little dirty. There are quite a few tables throughout. I know, these can sometimes be the really good places, right? However, the food was only OK. I ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos. The tacos are built with two street taco-sized corn tortillas, meat, cilantro, onions. They come with lime and salsa (red or green). The green (avocado) salsa is actually spicier than the red, which is not common. Overall, stop in on Thursday after 5 pm if you are in the area or next door at the pub. Otherwise, I’d make the trip to Taqueria Tijuana for tacos.

EDDY’S Tacos y Mas… – Menu with Prices – 9617 N Metro Pkwy W, Phoenix

Five stars. Everything there is handmade. The toppings and salsa section is more diverse than most other taco joints with items such as pickled onions (that are also homemade) as well as a variety of handmade, unique salsas. The carne asada is made on charcoal and sliced super small so that every bite is delicious. It’s some of the best in AZ. The barbacoa is also pretty darn good too. To my knowledge this is one of only a few places in the valley that does beef barbacoa, and it’s absolutely delicious. You can’t go wrong with either style tortilla either, but his flour tortillas are also, guess what, homemade and they add so much to every dish. Overall, this place is bomb, and most places don’t even touch Eddy’s tacos.

Carnitas La Cotorra – Menu with Prices – 3031 S 1st St, Garland

I am on personal quest to find the best taco in the DFW metropolitan area. I will be rating my opinion based on three criteria’s. 1. Is the taco as good a Sanora style taco. 2. Does it taste good without salsa. 3. Originality to be fair to TEX-MEX style. I will only order beef, pastar, or carnitas since these are the main tacos most people order. Beef Taco good flavor of a street taco but needed the help of the salsa 3 Pastar taco was good and was served of the kabob and was sliced off the kabob a little dry but still good 3

Taco Truck of Dos Hermanos Menu with Prices 221 W Valley Ave, Birmingham

I have finally hunt this food truck down and the hype is real – everything I got was delicious and best of all, very reasonably priced! Make sure you bring cash because they don’t take card, but for ~$10 you can be get a bangin’ meal. Between my friend and I we ordered: 2 tostada civeche, 1 asada (steak), 1 pollo (chicken), 1 barbacoa (lamb), 1 chorizo, and 2 buche (pork belly) which all came out to $18. Tacos are $2, Tostada are $3 each (minimum of 2 for to go orders) We got it to go and took it to Railroad Park to eat. I got the pollo and buche tacos and I loved the flavor of the pollo taco! It was super flavorful and not dry at all. The buche was also good but not as inherently flavorful as the pollo. My tostada was also very good and I’m glad they put the tortilla chips on the side so it didn’t get soggy during transport. My friend’s favorite taco he got was the lamb barbacoa, but he loved all of them. Overall, would recommend coming to check this gem out! Hands down the best AND most affordable tacos in town!

Sofy’s Taqueria – Menu with Prices – 25403 Oakhurst Dr, Spring

Was excited to check this place off my list as I have yet to find an authentic taco spot here around Houston! The outside reminded me of Austin, in a neighborhood with random homes/businesses, and this is literally parked in a driveway with some booths set up in front of the garage doors (ah, Houston and the no-zoning ). Anyways, got several tacos (5 for $11ish) and took to-go. A few salsas were thrown in the bag, which were really nothing special. Tacos were ok- the barbacoa was super super greasy and carne asade was very very dry. Tortillas were supposedly flour, but thick, and not good. The HEB bakery tortillas are 10000% better. Authentic taco search continues!

Trompo Taqueria & Burgers – Menu with Prices – 2334 W Buckingham Rd #370, Garland

Me and my roommate are big fans of tacos, I am serious when I say we eat them about once a week. When my friends told me that a place in Dallas serves trompo I got super excited! Me and a couple friends got 40 tacos to go from here and did their 10/$10 trompo special along with some Barbacoa tacos. The tacos were small, but very flavorful and delicious. The trompo was a little on the dry side, but nothing a little salsa can’t fix. I didn’t try the Barbacoa but my friends said they were good so I’ll take their word for it. I really liked their green salsa sauce which sometimes is hard to master. Overall I would come back here again if I’m craving trompo tacos but I would recommend eating them in house if possible cause they didn’t travel well.

Taqueria El Asador – Menu with Prices – 7955 N Davis Hwy, Pensacola

Can I give this place a 4.5 star review?! or a 4.7?! I really would! This place is the best hole-in-the-wall Mexican food in the Panhandle! The only reason I would knock it down points is because I wish they would double-shell their tacos to prevent the taco from breaking while eating. It’s more sturdy this way. That, or they should invest in better quality tortillas! However, other than that… I have no complaints about this place! The service is excellent too; the employees really know how to use a grill! The meat is sooo fresh and has that smokey/grilled flavor you yearn for in meat, especially in their asada tacos! The price is great, super affordable. They also offer to make your taco a “supreme” where they add avocados, tomatoes, and cheese. Sooo good! BUT. Other than the tacos, the next best thing is their HOMEMADE SAUCES!!! The “green sauce” is my favorite, but the orange sauce is good too! On the side after you order, they also have a station where you can add fresh red/spicy salsa, pico de gallo, radishes, pickled onions, etc. I love how they have this option!!! It makes everything feel and taste authentic. They also have Wednesday’s as $8 Monterey Chicken special! Make sure to check that out! Their chicken is also delicious! Even their drinks are good too… the horchata comes in a big size for a cheap price! Can the managers and cooks also look into making elote available?! Ahhhh!!! They need to get bigger and open a restaurant instead of being road side. They have so much potential! Thank you for serving the Panhandle with amazing Mexican food!

Academy Minimarket – Menu with Prices – 515 Peters Creek Pkwy, Winston-Salem

Tacos, tacos, tacos! Being new to Winston, I’ve been in the hunt for good tacos. I have tried a few places in and around town and off of Waughtown Road, but these are the BEST tacos I have found in Winston. The place is quaint. It’s a mini mart with a taco truck in the parking lot. At first, I wasn’t sure if the truck was open or not, but the friendly lady at the truck assured me it was. Let me be clear – This is not a restaurant and there are not any places to sit. You will get your food in a nicely packed to-go box and bag and have to haul it off somewhere to eat. (Note: I was so excited that I ate my tacos in my car in the parking lot.) I paid for my food inside the store and went out to the truck in the parking lot with my receipt to place my order. An order of 4 tacos runs about $6. I had the carnitas, barbacoa, and asada tacos and they were GREAT! Double tortillas warmed on the grill with fantastic meats, topped with onions and cilantro. My to-go box even had a little salad with cucumber, lettuces, limes and a spicy avocado salsa. I cannot wait to head back here for more TACOS!

Bandido Taqueria Mexicana – Menu with Prices – 905 E Liberty St, Louisville

I keep forgetting to take pictures so close your eyes while you read this and use your imagination. I got the fish taco (fried), Maui Wowie (el pastor), and the carnitas tacos, plus an original elote. The tacos were good street tacos on small corn tortillas, they only have corn taco tortillas. Each taco had a slaw mixture that complimented the protein. The fish was a nice battered fillet that fit well in the tortilla. The el pastor taco could have used more meat and pineapple, the pork seemed a little under seasoned. I did really like the condiment bar. The serrano and habanero salsas had great flavor. You can actually taste the name sake pepper in each without them burning out your pallet. The pickled onions were superb, thin slices of habanero provided a nice secondary flavor with a kick. The best for last is the elote. Excellent ear of corn with large juicy kernels, coated in Mexican table cream, chili powder, cheese, and with a twist a red “enchilada” sauce. All on an easy to consume stick, it was my favorite. I love knowing I can grab some quick street tacos during my lunch break.

Mezcal Taco – Menu with Prices – 9500 Dallas Pkwy #200, Frisco

My wife and I recently watched a Netflix documentary series on tacos, and when we came across Mezcal tacos in suggestions we were in. When we first walked in the very first thing that hit us was the smell. Not the usual smell of taqueria, but a lingering sour odor of cigar smoke from the cigar shop next door. It was overpowering. Even at the end of the meal I could still smell it. I doubt it’s any fault of this restaurant, but it started things off rough. My wife ordered three small cantina tacos and some elote, I ordered three of their full size tacos (lamb barbacoa, al pastor and chicharron) and some chips and salsa. The chips tasted homemade but were a little thick, and the salsa was excellent and warm. Our appetizers came quick and we started chowing down. The entrees, however, took a hot minute. We were the only ones in the place, yet it took almost 20 minutes to get our tacos. There was a gentleman picking up a pretty sizeable to go order, which I’m sure had the staff stretched thin, but I would’ve guessed that we’d be in and out of a taqueria in 30 minutes, rather than waiting almost as long. My wife really enjoyed her cantina tacos, especially the Assad steak. The meat was tender, flavorful and hot. I had originally ordered one of my tacos on flour tortillas, but got them all on corn, and after waiting didn’t feel like fussing about it. The corn tortillas were soft, though a bit chewy, and had the telltale perfectly round stamped shape of non-homemade tortillas. Normally this would be a minus for me, but the tougher tortillas did a great job of holding juicy meat together. My tacos were hit or miss. The lamb barbacoa was incredibly tender, soft and juicy. Really impressively so. They simply lacked flavor, and was quickly overshadowed by their salsa verde that I threw in it (which is excellent). I had never had chicharron before, so I can’t compare it to other taquerias’ offerings. The al pastor, though. Y’all. It was bonkers. I should’ve just got three of them to begin with. The pork is soft with the perfect bits of crispiness. The avocado verde salsa tastes fresh and the pineapple really makes it pop. Hands down the best al pastor taco I’ve had. Very impressed. The tacos I ordered ranged from $3.19 to $4 something, which I thought was pretty steep, though I probably wouldn’t think twice spending $10 for three al pastor going forward. Overall a pretty average experience with some al pastor that was amazing. I’d go back, but I’d be hesitant to try more items on the menu. I gave four stars because I couldn’t give 3.5. This place has awesome potential, but just needs a little refinement for me personally.
