Give them all your money. As a Latinx person, it's very important to support the community, and this restaurant is proudly Mexican owned. I have been going here literally since they opened their doors. I love watching them prepare my food and yew even the staff are Mexican. The food is fresh and delicious every time and they always have consistent quality!! I love the outdoor seating area. Our faves are the Birria, Agua De JamaicaAny 3-tacos Con TodosCarne Asada QuesadillaChips and Guacamole. We even get their Valentines Day special because the tacos are THAT GOOD. It's real authentic Mexican tacos in the heart of Troy. Viva la Raza. Get over there...Andale! Oh and you have got to try their igloos.... read more

Great food and good value. Seating can be tight but the outdoor area is nice and service is super quick.

After a trip to New Mexico a couple years ago, I was forever spoiled when it came to Mexican food. Chipotle no longer cut it when I wanted a good taco and local Mexican places generally didn't either. Then La Capital Tacos opened a couple blocks from my apartment. I decided to give them a try today and holy bleep, it's dangerous that I live so close. La Capital Tacos is a small establishment in the former Capitaland Taxi building at 4th and Ferry in Troy. Inside, you have a counter and a couple tables. Mexican bottled soda is for sale, but a lot of people (myself included) just get takeout. 3 tacos cost $10, or you can get a deluxe version with additional toppings for a few dollars more. Regular tacos come with onion and cilantro and you have your choice of 6 meats. For my 3 tacos, I chose chicken, al pastor (marinated pork), and carne asada. 10-15 minutes after placing my order, I was walking out with fresh tacos. These tacos are legit, featuring a tortilla filled to the brim with meat and a light coating of onions and cilantro. No rice filler here. The chicken was excellent and juicy. The carne asada was good, but probably my least favorite of the 3 meats I sampled. My favorite, though, was the al pastor. Juicy pork with an excellent adobada marinate that added a nice kick was heaven on a tortilla and a taste of (New) Mexico in Troy. To heck with other places claiming to have good tacos. If you want legit tacos like you'd find on the streets of the Southwest, La Capital is your place. Sure, it's a tad expensive, but it's far cheaper than flying to New Mexico. I'll be back before I know it for another trio of al pastor tacos. read more

This is a good find. On our drive home from Vermont, I always stop in Troy, NY, and look for good food. And I always find something good! My fav chinese resto was closed! Oh mon Dieu! They were on summer vacation and wont be open til Aug 18. Why didnt i check yelp first? Oy! Anyways, my husband flipped out and he is all ready to eat chinese food and he knew he wanted kung pao chicken already. Then i said what about some tacos. Let's try La Capital around the corner... aaaand we ordered. It was so good. No disappointments here. I had the 3play with the works - calabacitas, the al pastor, and chorizo. My husband had the 3play with tacos al pastor deluxe. DE LUJO, just kidding its just called the works, means they put more veggies and some guacamole. The food came out fast. I had a nice chat with the guy at the counter. There is a very small area for indoor seating but a big picnic area with several picnic tables in the parking lot. I will be back! I like this joint! read more

La Capital Tacos - This is what is left of my 3 play taco. This was the taco al pastor. It was legit. There was yummy salty pork and sweet pineapples. - Tacos Near Me - Troy, New York

Carne asada is the best. Then the veggie taco. Chicken was probably my beast favorite of the 3 but still good. The guac is probably a 3/5 because it's very runny. The ceviche is surprisingly quite good. read more

Love their food! Delicious, and plenty to choose from, including super tasty meat-free options. The outdoor seating area is really nice, and I love that they have outdoor seating available year-round. read more

Price is right: 3 for $10 tacos (mix and match permitted) and service was efficient. Order comes with small cups of spicy (red) and mild (green) salsas (cashier asked if we wanted spicy, mild, or both) and tacos are topped with red onion and cilantro. Cashier told us our two orders of 3 tacos would be ready in 8 minutes and that was pretty spot on. On a Saturday afternoon, though, it was basically impossible to distance from other customers as we were waiting to order our food because the space is so small. That made me pretty uncomfortable as not all were masked. We took our table number to a nice outside picnic table. Unfortunately, my husband's order was mixed up a bit as he was given al pastor taco instead of a chorizo. However, it was okay with us as we got to try more variety. Between the two of us, we had chorizo, chicken, al pastor, and carnitas. Although the tacos were all fine and happily eaten, every single option was pretty bland. I love Mexican chorizo, but this variety didn't really have the crispy bits or the kick usually found. The chicken (thigh) was cooked well so it kept its moisture, but it needed more seasoning. Same with the other pork options. The salsa roja had a real kick, so give that a try if you enjoy heat. The salsa verde was bland. I wanted for some kind of garlic or distinguishing flavor to come through. I thought everything could use a pinch of salt. The lime wedges served with the tacos helped with flavor. The corn tortillas were great, though. Absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, although these were A-OK tacos; these sadly weren't my dream tacos. Sitting outside on the little back lot was enjoyable, and the meal was quick and easy. Maybe we'll give it another go in the future, as those tortillas were pretty memorable. read more

La Capital Tacos - 2 chorizo, 1 chicken. Red salsa: spicy; salsa verde: mild - Tacos Near Me - Troy, New York

Very good tacos! We ordered takeout and each tried the three taco plate. I had the pollo asado, carne asada and al pastor. My husband had chorizo, carne and al pastor and my son had a similar combination. All were flavorful and fresh tasting. The corn tortillas held up well to the fillings. The al pastor was my favorite by far. The marinated pork was delicious and so flavorful. The biggest problem was telling them apart! It would be very helpful to label each takeout order. With all the vegetables and sauces they all looked alike! Overall, the quality is good and very affordable. I look forward to trying the fish tacos, ceviche and of course getting more al pastor next time. read more

Great little street taco place in downtown Troy! Very big flavors, very large helpings, fresh and delicious! Definitely one of the more authentic taco spots in the capital region, and right down the street from some awesome bars and restaurants, and very walkable to downtown Troy. The service was excellent, we actually were going to make margaritas at home and they actually gave us some limes to take home with us which was huge and saved us a trip! read more

Order your tacos con todos - it's worth it! Quality ingredients and portion. It looks intimidating to eat at first- I just took a fork to some of the filling until it's manageable to eat as a taco and they're very delicious! A great combination of flavors. read more

It was good. Cute outdoor seating. No wait. Our food was out ASAP as well. I had the Calabacitas Tacos and they were decent. Someone else tried the Birria Tacos and said they were good. I personally think it was overpriced for tacos so I probably won't go back, but not mad that I tried them. read more

Tacos we traditional, full of flavor-- I especially loved the Al pastor. I lived in Mexico in my 20s and they were legitimately delicious. Service was warm and place was spotless! read more

I've gotten take out from here twice and both times were really good. Birra tacos are absolutely amazing & their quesadilla shells are a bit thick, they seem like they may be homemade?? Either way, neither entrée disappointed. Would definitely recommend & go again read more

Went there for the first time tonight. Food was good and I'd like to return but the bartender/cashier not friendly at all. After ordering our food and several apps plus drinks, I asked for a glass of water. Was told I had to buy a bottle of water and couldn't get tap water. Just very off-putting when you've spent $100 + read more

Absolutely love this lunch spot Terrific tacos and outdoor dining available Authentic and Delicious read more

I will drive out of my way and find any excuse to eat here. Parking is pretty easy in their lot or in the street. Love their outdoor eating area. There is a wood fence between the sidewalk and eating areas which makes it feel both secluded and part of the street vibe at the same time. They had individually heated clear tents in winter. Love their street tacos and recently tried their birria tacos - in love. The dipping sauce is so tasty, I ate it like a soup. The employees are also always friendly, which tops off an already great experience every visit. read more

Small place with outdoor seating. Good tacos for a good price. I got the birria tacos for $13 which is a great price for three good tacos! I do wish the birria was traditional lamb but I know that's hard to find. It was good anyway! Will definitely return especially because of the low prices. read more

Great food! Service was good too. The outdoor seating was quite nice! Tacos are very authentic and delicious!!

Delicious tacos!! We ordered 8 tacos between us: chicken, steak, marinated pork, veggie (zucchini/summer squash), and battered shrimp. Each had its own unique and delicious flavor. They were also fully loaded in a homemade soft corn tortilla with fresh toppings including Pico de Gallo, lime, cilantro, guacamole, and cheese. We were first introduced to this place at the Troy Farmer's Market, but learned they also had a restaurant. The restaurant was very clean and offered outdoor seating. It had very minimal indoor seating, so it's definitely more of a to-go place when the weather isn't so great! Overall, we enjoyed the food and will go back!! read more

HOLY COW. I'm so happy that I found this place. We are new to the area, and my husband and I have been looking for traditional street tacos for a while now, especially today on Cinco De Mayo. We stumbled upon this place while searching Mealeo, and decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad we did. The food is SO fresh and flavorful. I ordered a 3-taco platter with chorizo, chicken, and carne asada tacos with a side of chips and salsa. I was full by the second taco, but kept eating because the food was that good. My husband ordered 3 carne asada tacos, and LOVED them. We liked the food so much, I forgot to take photos for the review! If you're in the area, definitely swing by - it's 100% worth it. read more

Swung in here during a little toddle around downtown Troy yesterday. The space is a delight: a former taxi stand that looks like a dive bar in Brooklyn that only serves house-infused soju, but instead it's a taco shop. I decided to try my first ever birria tacos, which they had on special. I can't say how they compare to other birria tacos, but I CAN say that getting an order of them was one of the better twelve bucks I've spent lately. Also, the Agua de Jamaica is delicious and not too sweet. 10/10 would cram tacos down my neck here again. read more

Ordered 3 tacos with everything on it (guacamole, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions) which came out to $12. You are able to mix and choose the type of meat for your tacos. I chose el pastor, carnita and chorizo. The tacos were good but they lacked a little salt. They also only gave me one tortilla instead of two so when I was eating them they were falling apart in my hand. I also ordered the birria tacos which also lacked a little salt. The place was clean and the customer service was great. I would definitely give them a try if you're in the area. read more

Tacos and quesadilla was great! Everything is cooked to order. You can tell the tortillas are homemade and fresh. Fresh made salsa....not out of a jar. They have outdoor seating which is next to a busy street, but still nice. We'll be back! read more

The best Birria my son's ever had- and he's eaten a lot of Birria- and we are from SoCal, land of tacos. I tried the zucchini, the chicken and carnitas tacos "al todos" with everything on them. So delicious! The green salsa is limey and refreshing. 2 tables inside, but lots of seating outside when the weather is warm. Craving tacos? Get them here. SO GOOD! read more

Really good tacos, probably the best and true authentic tocos I have ever had. The works tocos at busting.

I'm from California and these tacos, the ceviche and horchata made my week. The alpastor taco and the pescado taco really stood out for me. The ceviche was a cod and salmon and was excellent. I'm looking forward to working my way through the menu. I forgot to take a pic of the food because we dove right in. read more
