“I enjoyed everything.”
I enjoyed everything! Authentic and so Flavorful!! I recomend you try the Taco Flight. It comes with 5 different tacos: Asada, Al Pastor, Baja, Chorizo, & Poblano. ALL of them are delicious! 🌮 And for the Spicy Salsa lovers 🔥🌶 ask for the red salsa. Is FIRE!!! 😁. They also have delicious Quesabirrias with Consome, and this was the first time I tried a Barbacoa de Pollo Torta!! I think it might be the only restaurant I know that's have it. The Tomatillo Salsa with chips, is a must have!! Thank me later!! 😁✨️🌮 Also, don't forget to try the Mango Margarita 🥭🍹 and the Mezcal Paloma!! My two favorites. Well, if you go, see you there! Cheers! 🍻🌮

“The carne asada burrito satisfied that craving I had.”
The carne asada burrito satisfied that craving I had. I usually get the tacos but I might be sold on the burrito. I liked the filling and it had excellent flavor. Everyone was friendly and able to joke around while being professional and accommodating. The service was top notch during the busy dinner rush. This is probably my favorite place in the area to grab a quick taco or burrito.

Loved it. From drinks to all the food I tried. The mezcal old-fashioned was delicious. The fish tacos are definitely top of the list. The quesabirria are also some of the best 👌 and your fat boy here has definitely tried a lot. The alpastor is also very delicious, some of the best. The chicken barbacoa torta that I saw on tik tok hit the spot. To me it was basicly chicken and mole, but dang, it was good. Definitely worth trying, it's something most restaurants dont have. Stake tacos are also great. I don't like fat on my tacos, so I loved it. I know some people like that, but it's not for me. I loved it was all well cooked, flavorful meat. This list is in order of my favs incase you wonder what to order, but do try.

“We loved the atmosphere, it reminded me of a traditional Mexican taqueria with more variety in food.”
We loved the atmosphere, it reminded me of a traditional Mexican taqueria with more variety in food. The flavors are authentic and the tacos are filling! Their Al pastor was my favorite because it comes with pineapple off the trompo. Their salsa had great flavor because the quality of meat was better than most! The rice tasted home made, which is so hard to find! The staff was so friendly! We will return very soon.

Tacos '76 provides a charming throwback to 1970s taco truck culture, creating an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and inviting. The staff's friendliness and thoughtfulness enhance the overall experience, making customers feel welcome. The seating arrangement, though simple, is thoughtfully designed for efficiency, ensuring a comfortable setting for patrons to enjoy their meals. Now, let's talk about the star of the show – the tacos. Among the diverse options, the Stake Tacos and beer-battered Cod served Baja Style truly stand out, showcasing a delightful blend of flavors and textures that leave a lasting impression. For those looking to explore the menu further, the Quesabirrias with consome and the Enchiladas are absolute must-tries. The Quesabirrias, accompanied by consome, offer a deliciously rich experience that is hard to resist. The Enchiladas, with their unique twist, add depth to the culinary journey at Tacos '76. No visit is complete without indulging in the Salsa Verde Cruda and chips – a burst of flavors that perfectly complements the meal. And for those seeking a refreshing beverage, the Mango Margarita is a definite highlight, adding a tropical touch to the dining experience. Tacos '76 goes beyond just serving tacos; it crafts an immersive culinary journey with attention to detail, flavor, and a touch of nostalgia.

“The food was perfect.”
The food was perfect! As someone who could eat chilaquiles every meal, I was grateful for the dinner option they had. My boyfriend got the nachos and loved them, too. We’ll definitely be back!
