I've definitely had my share of Mexican food since there are so many places to choose from... but this spot was different. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. I got the steak taco salad, and what really sold me was that everything was chopped into perfect bite-size pieces :) It made eating it so easy and enjoyable. My friend ordered the birria tacos and whew... that cheese pull did not disappoint! I also loved the outdoor seating. It's cozy, quaint, and gives the perfect little setup to eat, chill, and enjoy the nice weather. This spot is officially on my return list!! read more

La Capital Tacos is the place to go for genuine street tacos in Troy. Every time I've gone the food has tasted fresh, and the tacos/burritos have been delicious. I can put down quite a bit of food so if I order the "three traditional tacos" then I'm usually left wanting just one more... so I typically go for the burrito to try and fill up a bit more. The chorizo is delicious and seasoned very well. The salsa verde that is served with each taco/burrito is also delicious. During winter they put up some "bubble" tents outside with heaters. They don't have much seating inside and if the restaurant is busy then you might be caught in a pickle... but I've been lucky enough to find a free table here reliably. I've been visited by out-of-state friends a few times and I typically introduce them to this restaurant (as one of my local favorites) and they usually love it. read more

Ordered Al pastor Tacos, guacamole and chips, and a soda and margarita. The tacos were not warm, tortillas did not seem griddled, they were okay, highly edible. The guacamole was pretty disappointing, tasted maybe like there was some kinda preservatives in it. The salsa that came with the tacos was bland and for a authentic taco shop was more like something I would expect from a generic taco shop in NH. They claimed on the website, they have a small but curated tequila section, they had brand one on hand. Margarita was okay they use margarita mix, not the fresh lime juice stated on the website.... I really abhor sour mix. The Jaurito soda was as expected. Highly edible not something I'd seek out again Counter service Person at till said Birria are popular, we are not fans of that style as the can be soggy... But if you like that variety, I'd give that the green light read more

La Capital Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Troy, New York

Best tacos I've ever had!! I was amazed. It tastes like the ingredients came right out of a garden. It was so fresh. My taste buds were dancing! Loved it. read more

La Capital Tacos serves up some of the most authentic tacos in the Capital Region. We visited after I read the reviews and the experience exceeded my expectations. I was so glad to have dinner there recently. Delicioso! My friend ordered the three steak taco dinner while I had the three chicken taco dinner. Then, we traded one. The tacos are served on small corn tortillas. It generally takes more than one taco to feel full. The steak tacos came with wonderful melted cheese and a beef dipping sauce. The chicken tacos came with salsa verde, plenty of cilantro and chopped up red onions. We each had a Margarita which are awesome, too. The staff is small but friendly and efficient. There isn't a lot of seating inside the restaurant. Just a few tables. Most of the seating is actually in the outdoor patio. In cold weather, large clear heated plastic bubbles or igloos are installed on the patio. Each holds a table and enough seating for several people. It's incredibly cute. There's even table service, but most people ordered take out and then walked over to eat in the bubbles. There's also parking on premises which makes the dining experience very convenient. We ate-in and had a blast. I look forward to coming back. They don't take reservations but guests are encouraged to call ahead to ask about seating. read more

Good but the ratio of tortilla to filling is reversed for me. Lots of glop to one tortilla. I like two tortillas with smaller quantity of glop/filling. Here the tortillas are just the floor for a large plate of taco contents! Can't pick up one taco. Small tables inside. Fast and friendly casual service. Some order on Mealeo to pick up read more

I've been to La Capital Taco multiple times and usually have a great experience, especially with the food. That's honestly why I keep coming back. But tonight was different, and not in a good way. The service was disappointing. I understand being the only person working the front can be overwhelming, but when you're in customer service, attitude matters just as much as the food. No matter how busy it gets, customers still deserve basic respect. There was a lot of eye rolling, sighing, and just an overall unpleasant attitude. It made the experience uncomfortable and honestly took away from the meal. To make things worse, we were seated in an igloo that had a slit in it, but it was still lit and set up, so we assumed it was fine. My cocktail was brought out by our waitress, but when the food came, it was brought by the same rude girl from the front along with the owner. That's when we were abruptly told that the igloo was "closed." There were no other igloos available at that moment, then we were told there was one in the front. We went up there, only to find out someone was already in it. So now we're being moved around for no reason and ultimately had to leave. Imagine planning a nice date night and it completely goes left like that. I will say, the owner was pleasant and professional, but there was clearly a lot going on, so there was only but so much he could do in that moment. This isn't the first time I've experienced rude service here, but I've overlooked it in the past because the food is good. At some point though, the service has to match the quality of the food. I'll always support a place with great food, but the customer experience needs serious improvement. read more

Just a shout out to this taco bowl. My coworker picked up lunch from here and I chose the Birria taco bowl. Oh man, this little container was packed to the brim with bright and fresh ingredients. Everything was so flavorful, I was honestly shocked how good this was. It was rice, a ton of birria meat, black beans, cheese, guac, pico, red onion, cilantro, and included cream and green salsa. The was enough for two lunch and I'm so happy I tried it. I will definitely be back for more of the menu. I need to try the birria tacos because the meat was killer. read more

You have to come try their birria tacos. They were so incredibly flavorful, well made and exactly what we were looking for during our short stay in the area. Although I only tried the beef, I imagine the chicken version is tasty as well. The indoor space is limited, but there's a lot of outdoor seating - complete with heated igloos for the cooler days. The service is friendly and if I lived in the area I would definitely, definitely go back. read more

Went there for the first time based on a family member's recommendation. Don't think I've ever had tastier tacos which were reasonably priced. And the outdoor seating was perfect on a sunny afternoon read more

Just visiting, stopped by to have some delicious food! Loved my pollo taco bowl It was cozy to sit outside in the domes.

One of my favorite spots in Troy - hands down! If you're looking for fresh, authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. I've rarely ever deviated from the "Tacos Con Todos" or tacos with cheese, lettuce, Pico De Gallo, and guacamole on them. I usually also order the chicken, carne asada, and carnitas. They're incredibly fresh and delicious! The meat is always so tender and juicy. Their margaritas are also fantastic as are the Guacamole and chips, and churros. You really can't go wrong with anything you order! Also, they only have a few indoor tables, but they have recently installed igloos on their outdoor patio with heaters in them. Their outdoor patio is also the best place to be when the weather is nice. Highly recommend!! read more

You have several options for Tacos in downtown Troy - this is my favorite among them. The tacos are fresh, they're quickly prepared, and they're filled with ingredients as opposed to slathered with sauce. The margaritas are reasonably priced too. In nice weather, it's a great place to sit outside for your meal, savor your tacos, and perhaps people watch. Everyone who works here is just so friendly too. La Capital is never a bad choice when looking for a meal in the area. read more

I was really in the mood for some good Mexican food so I decided to give La Capital Tacos a try. With that known, I ordered the beef birria tacos and a chicken quesadilla. To start, the beef birria tacos were very good. To explain, the shells were crunchy and definitely homemade. In addition, the brisket was very flavorful, but a little chewy. Furthermore, the beef consommé was juicy and matched perfectly with the tacos. These were simply tasty tacos. After that, I tried the chicken quesadilla and it was decent. To enumerate, the chicken was tender and flavorful. However, the tortilla was really thick and I didn't love the taste of it. The quesadilla was fine, but I've had better. In summary, La Capital Tacos has excellent beef birria tacos, but mediocre quesadillas. read more

Went here today. The carnitas tacos had very little flavor. They were just flavorless mush. The guac had a weird vinegar flavor or something. It tasted like no guac I've ever had. Queso was pretty good but that was the one positive for the food. Location is not great in terms of parking. Staff is nice enough. Bees swarmed us at the outdoor tables. Not going back. Can't understand the appeal. read more

I've eaten here twice and both times we all had great tacos. There are a few spots to eat inside but the majority of the seating is outside. The outdoor seating area is nice, and even though it is right beside a busy road you hardly notice it. There is some parking in the lot but the people we watched seemed to have a tricky time backing out and getting out of the spot. We have parked on the road around the corner and haven't had any issue finding a spot. To order: go inside and order at the counter. They give you a number to put on your table and then bring you the order when it is ready. I think we have now tried all of the the tacos and everyone has their favorites. Mine might be the Calabacitas. This is our go-to for when we are craving good tacos. Definitely get "the works" on your order - it adds a lot and makes a difference. read more

La Capital Tacos has a really great outdoor patio space for dining with parking adjacent. I really liked their 3 Birria Tacos ($13) which were made with Beef Brisket with melted Oaxaca Cheese and Consommé. The Consommé was particularly tasty and I could have had a bigger portion of that and been happy with my lunch. My partner was less thrilled with their vegetarian CALABACITAS ($11) which was a quesadilla made with Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Pico De Gallo. I think that if we'd had some hot sauce and other condiments at the table that may have made a difference. The order took a good while to be made. At least 20 minutes. Which for a lunch felt like a long time. Overall though, really liked this venue and would go again. Service was just a little slow and the lack of condiments made it hard to add kick to some of the meals. read more

The birria quesadilla is amazing! I could dip anything into that birria and it would be great! I sat outside on a rainy day once and they have these cool domes you can sit in. I closed the door to the dome and it flew up into the sky. I was a little nauseous at first because all of the spinning but once I adjusted the view was incredible. I could see all the stars and even Venus! I spilled a little of my birria upon descent and I think I left my wallet on the moon. But all in all a good experience! read more

The tacos at La Capital are some of the most incredible tacos I've had in quite some time. Everything from their homemade tortillas to the quality proteins; our experience was fantastic. We went with their 3 taco tradicional which you can mix and match your proteins! (We did chicken, carne asada and pastor) We also did their salmon taco special which I highly recommend! The sauce and pineapple salsa was incredible and the salmon was juicy and well cooked. Their chips and guacamole is a must!! The chips are perfectly crispy and salty and we even asked for a bag to go because they were that good. Service was beyond wonderful! The kind gentleman there made sure we had everything we needed. They have some indoor tables as well as cute little heated igloos out in the parking lot where we sat. I can't wait to come back! read more

Ordered a pickup meal from la capital taco for the first time, and I'm glad we did! Everything was super fresh and flavorful, I'm so happy to have found a taco spot in the Albany area. The quesadillas were delicious and cheesy with the perfect amount of lettuce and pico de gallo on the side. The tacos with the works were a little overwhelming (as you can see in the photo, there is a LOT of the works) and can be a little tricky to eat without it making a huge mess, but was nonetheless tasty. Order was timely and accurate. If you plan to eat in person, note the inside of the restaurant is very small, but they also have some outdoor seating (including the little igloo domes in the winter months). They had a parking lot but it looked like the outdoor seating was blocking it but we found street parking without issue. read more

Stopped here as we needed gluten free food during our visit and found this gem. Great tasting tacos. We got the corn tacos so that we got the gluten free version. The tacos were loaded. They were loaded so much that the fillings were falling out....in a good way though. You would want that much filling as it makes the tacos extra special and also adds to the amazing taste! Totally worth it! I forgot to add, try their Horchata and the Jamaican water which is Hibiscus tea...it's just amazing! read more
