Taquerias Near Me

A Mexican eatery that specialises in tacos and a short list of related items: quesadillas, tortas, sometimes birria, menudo or aguas frescas. It is usually independent and counter-service, as opposed to a full-menu Mexican restaurant or a chain.

A Mexican restaurant serves a broad menu (enchiladas, fajitas, combo plates) often with table service, chips and a bar. A taqueria is narrower and faster: tacos are the point, the menu fits on a board, and you usually order at a counter.

"Taco shop", literally a place where tacos are made and sold. It is pronounced tah-keh-REE-ah.

Generally more so than chain or Tex-Mex tacos. Taqueria tacos are small, on corn, with grilled or braised meat and fresh onion, cilantro and salsa. No shredded cheese, sour cream or fried shell. Two or three are a reasonable meal.

By how taco-focused each place is, whether its listing is verified against public data, and how complete its details are. When star ratings are available they lead, weighted by review count, and nobody pays for placement.
