I happened to stumble upon this place by accident on a cold rainy afternoon. Since I hadn't had lunch, I thought "why not?" and decided to give this place a try. I'm so glad I took that chance because now it means I finally found a place that sold authentic Mexican style street tacos in Angier, NC. Just as it states in the name, this establishment specializes in tacos and tortillas, however it also serves as a small Mexican market, carrying various spices, candy, condiments, beverages, and some fresh produce.
In addition to the usual taco meats (e.g. chorizo, asada, carnitas, al pastor, etc...), they also offer lengua (beef tongue), tripa (beef tripe) and lamb barbacoa. I decided to order a lengua taco and a tripa taco for take out. Their tacos were on point, legit, flavorful, tender, and fresh. Not in the mood for tacos? No problem, they also offer tamales, flautas, and even soups (such as menudo or posole) on their menu.
I'm giving bonus points to this place not only for making their own tortillas, but also because they use "uncommon" taco meats and making them taste sooooo goood. They offer a counter service and have a no frills dining space. Service was casual and friendly. Overall, the food's delicious and very affordable. Parking is a breeze because it's located in a strip mall and they have their own parking lot. I would gladly return to try their other menu items, highly recommended.
