Reviews For Taco Norteno

This is a must try! I tried over 6 different types of tacos and a smother enchilada and they were all fantastic. The salsa/toppings bar is where it's at though and really separates this place from others. The food came out hot and these are some of the most tasteful tacos I've had. I tried the Carne Asada, Chicken, Al Pastor, Pork, and Ground Beef. If I had to pick a favorite it surprised me but it was the pork. You could just tell it was slow roasted to perfection. Now on the salsa/toppings bar, WOW! Of course there's onions, peppers- jalepeno and green, and cilantro. What really makes this great is the salsa. I don't remember exactly but I think there was more than 7 different types and all spice levels. I loved each of them for different reasons. My favorite was the Aji Verde, perfect spice level and I also really enjoyed the Habanero. My wife preferred the guacamole sauce with green tomatillo salsa Trust me and try this place.

I was blown away by this experience! The authentic Mexican flavors are crave worthy, and the salsa bar offered an array of options to suit every taste. Not only were the prices great, but the cleanliness of the restaurant and the warm and friendly staff made me feel right at home. Taco Norteno is a must-visit. Five stars all the way!

Fridays are taco traditions for my small group of friends. This joint did not disappoint. If you want authentic Mexican food with a heck of a good 'fixin's bar' then check this place out. Free homemade chips and salsa with your order. Grab a beer, or two. Good food at a good price. Highly recommend!

Love it! Very authentic food. I had the chorizo with carne, al pastor, and cow tongue tacos. I don't recommend the cow tongue. It tasted odd. The salsa station was great and very clean. Tortilla chips are self serving (dine in only). Highly recommend!

Excellent authentic Mexican food. We tried the tacos and tostada and give five stars. The margaritas were good too. Highly recommended!

We absolutely love this place! Authentic Mexican food. Salsa/toppings bar is probably one of my favorite things about this place, with so many hot sauces, cilantro, grilled and raw onions, sour cream, lettuce, jalapeños, and limes. Everyone is so friendly! We love to sit outside. The food is always so fresh and comes out super fast. One of our absolute favorite taco spots!

Wow! Cheap, authentic quick service Mexican food with a salsa bar. This Mexican restaurant has all of the things we look for - great food at a decent price, friendly service, and plenty of salsas to go around! Also, the portion sizes were so big. We really enjoyed the quick service set up to get the food ordered, and it was even better that the salsas and condiments were self-serve. They have happy hour and brunch specials throughout the week, too. Plenty of seating for the whole family. We will be back very soon.
