If you are looking for real, authentically legit Mexican food, you must come here! This is not your typical Tex-Mex; it’s the real deal. You absolutely have to try the chicken tacos with cream—they are incredibly rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The cochinita is also spectacular, so tender and packed with traditional spices. Even the salsas have the perfect kick. A total hidden gem that deserves way more than just 5 stars!

I am obsessed with the food here. It’s hard to find real authentic Mexican food that is actually good- and this place is it! The tacos are delicious and made fresh. I have also had the green enchiladas and they are the best I’ve ever had! I have already gone twice, and I’m already planning on going again this week. The portions are so good and fair priced. LOVE IT!

Wow, this was my first time at Tacomex. The birria tacos were amazing and the salsa was just perfect. The horchata, agua de Jamaica and piña was just the best drinks I ever had. Would I return? 100% yesss! I’m proud to be part of the Mexican community :)

I tried 6 of the like 9 different styles of tacos the first time I went in all of them were fantastic, the chicken in chili sauce stood out as my favorite definitely worth a visit for some awesome food.
