We love this place! The staff is very friendly, food is great. They cook the food very quickly! We really enjoy coming here Only wish it had a drivethru but oh well! read more

The street tacos are amazing, the grilled chicken was so tasty, my husband and I will definitely be back. The prices aren't bad either. It's a cute little taco shop just off the freeway perfect for when you're visiting the local lake and want a quick bite. read more

Looking for delicious Beef Tacos? Well, this is the place to go! All of the ingredients were fresh and the Ground Beef was spiced just right. I got the hard Taco shells and it did not disappoint. I have driven past this quaint gem of a restaurant many times, and did not take notice--until now. Please go now! read more

This place is weird and sketchy... food was not good. They go behind a curtain to make the food. It's not Mexican but a decent attempt Diddy

Tired of Chipotle skimping portion sizes and failing to wrap your burritos?! Yeah so was I which is what lead me to Armored Tacos. Order one burrito and you're covered for lunch and dinner! I wish I found this spot earlier read more

This is a diamond in the rough. I went here based off the reviews and ordered one of their burritos. It was about 5 lbs of goodness with great sauces. Flavor was top notch and so was the service read more

Tacos were delicious! The guacamole, though looks interesting, was amazing! I'll definitely become a regular! read more

Great service but food was disappointing. Not authentic street Mexican tacos as advertised.

The food was great. My only two complaints would be that the salsa wasn't spicy enough (had great flavor though) and the taco servings were small for the price. read more

Worse "Mexican" food I've ever had. We went once when they first opened, and not pleased at all and service wasn't all that great either.

Definitely worth the stop. Service was great. Recommended meal was excellent. Would be happy to go again.

"Authentic" is a state of mind- there are people who don't like McDonalds! What planet are they from??!! LOL- With that in mind- this place has what it has, good bad or indifferent, another option for us foodie bloggers to pretend like we know what good food is.. hee hee.. All the food is very tasty, seasoned well and complex in its own way. The textures play off each other without overpowering the food, Simple and delicious! Salsa bar and fresh strawberry drink, was refreshing in the heat. Homemade horchata, complimented the huge Chimichanga I had, The chimichurri sauce (orange one ) had a good bite to it, while the avocado sauce kicked really nice, spicy. There is a variety, burgers and fries, grilled steak subs and sides that is good for everyone, try the bacon wrapped hot dog! I recommend this place to all my displaced Tijuana/ San Diego/California, El Paso/Juarez people... did I mention that you can eat very well for under $10? Bring the kids!! And an appetite read more

Confused by the reviews... Zero flavor. The only flavor there was is their salsa. Which btw, there is no salsa bar. I saw it in the photos but they don't have it anymore apparently. Beans were good but overpowered burrito bc that's all you could taste lol. Don't go here if you're looking for an authentic or great flavorful burrito (like west coast burrito type.). This place ain't it. The meats had no flavor to it. It was plain. Even the rice was sad read more

Reasonable prices. It's a little hole in the wall. It was quick to come out, tasted fresh, and the front desk lady was super nice. The salsa bar is a nice touch, we loved all of them. Will be back. read more

Hole in the wall. But, excellent food and service. The lady who took our order and made our food actually washed her hands and used new gloves each time she handled money and went back to work! Never seen that before. That shows a lot in how much she cared about her work/food/appearance/cleanliness. We got a whole bunch of stuff and a couple desserts. All delicious and super cheap!! read more

Wasn't sure what to make of the price of my burrito until I got it. Hoooollllyyyy, the thing is made for two! You get a lot of food for the price and it tastes great. read more

I ordered a carne asada taco and al pastor taco both with the corn tortilla. No extra toppings other than the hot salsa (pictured). The asada meat had really good traditional flavors (no pic because I ate it all). It was a little shy on the amount of meat. The al pastor was not good at all. The amount of meat in that one was good, but it looked like chorizo (pictured). It smelled and tasted very porky, if that makes sense. I did not like the flavor and did not even attempt to eat it. The corn tortilla was ok, just how a plain white corn tortilla would taste like. Might go back for anything carne asada, but that's about it. read more

Armored Tacos & Grill Mexican Restaurant - Al pastor taco and hot red salsa - Mexican Near Me - Spring Lake, North Carolina

I have had good service here every time I have come. The food is always exactly what I ordered and tastes good, hits the spot every time.

Tacos were good (carnitas and Al pastor), cashier was pleasant and the price was ok. Restaurant was uncomfortably hot and unappealing. The bathroom was not clean and had a funky odor to it. For the location and price, I may only stop by if I'm driving through this town. read more

Sorry but I call em like I eat em. Thought the decor might of changed by now. It's still the same ol place before them. Now the food is still good don't get me wrong. The prices are still in line with the area. Just tired of going to a counter to order. Then back to a counter for your food. Thank You 4 Reading David B. read more

This place is amazing. Great service, laid back location you wouldn't expect in spring lake. One of my favorite places to grab an enchilada read more

Their tacos were so good. You can taste that the ingredients were fresh going into the food. The toppings are self service as well as the sauces. I ordered the fish and shrimp and I have no complaints at all. Customer service was excellent by the lady that took our order. Can't go wrong with this place. Too bad I'm not from out here because this would've been a go to spot for me. read more

Went in for lunch and they were steadily busy thru our whole meal there, but yet food came out fast or at a decent time! Their food is delicious! I love their house fajitas, bomber fries, salsa bar and their rice was perfectly seasoned & cooked! Beans were kinda thin for MY liking but my husband liked them and he doesn't like beans. 10/10 ! read more

We ordered takeout here for cinco de mayo and the reviews weren't too bad. It was delicious! I was pretty impressed. I got barbacoa street tacos and my husband got the California burrito. My only complaint is that I could have gotten a bigger thing of salsa with my chips we will definitely be eating here again. Best Mexican in the area as far as I'm concerned. read more

Food was amazing!! Huge chimichangas with great tasting meat. Tacos got corn and flour tortilla kind and they were delish. The lady that took our order was super sweet!! Will definitely be making this place a regular!! read more

My first time trying this place! Very sweet owners, simple decor, but the tacos are just yum!! Definitely going back!

Very good food! Only downfall is I can't order online any more. Which was SO convenient to special order things exactly how I like them. PLEASE bring on line ordering back :( read more

This place was so good! Real authentic tacos! Not meat from a bag or been sitting there under a lamp all day. Made fresh to order. Street style is the way it's supposed to be. I wish I could have tried the other salsas but the green tomatillo was good on both the al pastor and the carne asada. Got a side of rice and it took up the whole plate. The rice was a bit bland but it was cooked well and spiced right. Just needed salt. But THAT is my only complaint. Not busy at all since we went at 1600. Make sure you speak clearly and enunciate. Also listen closely as I think the cashier said she was either hard of hearing or deaf and reads lips. She's also very quiet when she repeats your order. But everything was right as we ordered and no miscommunication. Just be respectful if she doesn't hear you the first time. Overall, highly recommend! read more

I came here one evening for a chicken burrito, ground beef tacos and chips & queso. I was looking for some adwhat I was expecting but it wasn't bad either. I called in my order and it was ready by the time I got there to pick it up. I was quoted an amount of the photo then when I arrived, to pay the price changed. Not sure if they charge additional fees when paying with a card. read more

This place has some great tacos!!! Sauces are great! You should try it for yourself, the place is a hidden treasure, simple but true to authenticity, the sauce are just the right amount of spice. Prices are worth every penny! Come on down :) read more

Recently visited this establishment! Great Hispanic food - very basic but done right. I ordered two shredded pork tacos that came with cilantro, feta, lettuce. Fue rico! Highly recommended and will follow up with more reviews when I visit next :) read more

I stopped by the other morning and ordered a Deluxe Breakfast Burrito and it was terrible...you could not taste the chorizo, the eggs were wet, the diced potatoes were raw, and it was not properly folded....it completely fell apart after a couple bites...also bell peppers don't belong in breakfast burritos but it's your menu...I think you guys should revisit this item and or retrain your staff on how to properly cook this item. read more

Amazing! From the tacos to the salsa bar and everything in between. It's all freshly made with fresh ingredients. The owners are super nice and there is a reason they are usually packed. I highly recommend the Tropical Blast with shrimp, chicken, bacon, rice, pineapple and cheese. It's so good! The tacos too come with many options including corn or flour and then about 6-7 types of filling. Try it all! read more

Great spot for lunch. Like any restaurant near a military installation you want to try and get there before or after the lunch rush if you don't want to wait in line. Aside from that it's good food for a good price. read more
