Amazing street tacos. And amazing drinks from the bar. Not a straight forward vibe. I don't know if this is a bar with awesome tacos or an incredible taco shop with awesome drinks. The smoked meat makes the tacos superlative. There's a hot sauce selection if you want. They don't need it though. But then there's great tequila and mezcal. Great drinks. Weirdly, the michelada is a favorite. read more

I'm still loving this place. Located in downtown Clayton, all they do is drinks and tacos. But they do everything so well! You just circle your protein (chicken, beef, or shredded pork), then circle how you want it, how many you want and wait patiently for the magic to happen. Never jam packed with people, but they draw a fairly steady stream. If that's not enough, you can pick from lots of sauces in a little cabinet. Melinda's, Cholula, etc. You won't be disappointed. read more

Lil Hombre - Chicken tacos - Tacos Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

Great place to stop for a taco. Drink prices are great. Tacos yummy. Bartenders are super friendly

Spent over $100 here and left disappointed. The tall blonde staff member with visible tattoos seemed irritated from the start. We had cash ready to tip, but after we didn't use the digital tip screen, the attitude noticeably changed. Our order was skipped multiple times, we waited over an hour, and the tacos were cold when we finally got them. For the price, the service and food quality should have been much better. I hope management looks into who they have working the front. read more

Lil Hombre - Tacos Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

Simple, Homey, Tasty. This place is the total relax place with outrageously good tacos. In our case, we sit at the bar and chat with the bartender/cook who makes our tacos and drinks. Very cool and chill staff, always feel relaxed, welcomed, and not hovered over. Prices are fair and the environment is very comfortable. Easy parking and located in downtown Clayton. We really love this place. read more

Tacos are decent (pricey) but very limited options, only tacos, and NO side items..... Chips and salsa would have made this a better meal. Service was super slow for lunch service with no one in there. Probably more of a bar with tacos vs a place to go to dinner. read more

The staff was fantastic and food was very good. We were confused with the menu and had a hard time figuring out what to do when we first came in. I wish there was some sort of instructions so it'll be easier to order, I think it'll be easier. The overall atmosphere and the restaurant is charming with original flooring read more

The atmosphere is good, taco meats were very tasty, the service was phenomenal. Sally and Darian waited on my husband and I, personable, nice chit chat, we really didn't have to ask for a thing, they were on top of everything, and just the sweetest. Cross your fingers you get these ladies to wait on you!!! read more

Food was good. Only one person working when we came in so it took a bit to get our order. Women behind the bar took my husband card, swiped it, never had him sign or ask for a tip. Pending charge on card was $55.52 but then when it posed it was $66.62. An $11 tip was added to our card WITHOUT our authorization. We had left a cash tip on the jar. Not cool. read more

Excelllent tacos! Tried chicken , beef and pork and all 3 were perfection! Choose from traditional, fajita or hombre style - I had pork traditional and others hombre - tortillas were traditional corn and really nice texture- also had on the rocks house margarita which was very good- everything was very fresh, great service and fun atmosphere! We will be back for sure!! Super casual fun space !! read more

Great service and even better tacos. One of my favorite spots in clayton. Great for all ages and they are very lenient with what options you can add/take away from your tacos. read more

Small place, a bar, a couple of indoor tables and outdoor seating. Very simple menu of fantastic tocos and yummy frozen margaritas both are $5 each. Service is decent, they do it all! Take your order, make you tacos, and poor your drinks. read more

Great tacos and cocktails! Nice to have a decent taco place so close to home. Try the smoked chicken.

Tacos are a little expensive but they're very tasty. Usually a part of date night for us. Service has always been great.

Very cool place Great tacos and service Beer is cold Taco meat is all smoked Very cool read more

House vodka and soda cost $10 here. tacos are good. Could use some variety like queso and salsa.

Lil Hombre - Tried all three! So good! - Tacos Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

Cute spot. Tacos are pretty good. Drinks are pretty good, they have a few different slushee flavor options. Service is good. A nice lunch spot if you're just hanging out in Downtown Clayton. read more

Love this little small town taco spot. Great tacos and an attentive bar staff. I will be going back.

There are very minimal options in this place, and only one staff member is working, so a bit of a wait. It's similar to bar taco, where you fill out your order on paper to give you the cook. There are no vegetarian options, only beef, chicken, and pork. Then you choose your topping category and type of shell. I got two beef and one chicken. The meat was delicious as it was smoked and full of flavor. I probably won't revisit because of the lack of vegetarian options, and my wife is meatless. I hope they add vegetarian options soon! read more

Lil Hombre is one of my favorite spots! I love their chicken hombre tacos with sour cream. They are delish! Margaritas are always on point. Don't snooze on this place. read more

It was good, cool atmosphere, quaint! But, I can get a lot more than 6 small street tacos and 2 beers at an authentic Mexican restaurant, or anywhere else for that matter, for $65. read more

My wife and I went here last night. Seen a posting about some type of membership required! Nobody bothered to explain it to us, so we left. Hopefully they'll either remove the membership post or explain it. We met up with our friends elsewhere and spent a ungodly amount of money. read more

What a find! Great tacos & tequila. Samantha cooked up tacos for a b'day lunch and it was perfecto!

best LGBT+ bar in Clayton! My favorite place for late night grub! Dorian(but everyone calls her Dori, because she looks like the fish from finding Nemo) tries really hard!! I only order beer now because the margaritas are terrible but she tries hard! Her friend though, wears glasses, don't know her name, she must be new because she was quite clueless but I'm sure she'll get the hang of it eventually! read more

Girl waited until after 1am to come to us to say they were no longer serving tacos. We had been sitting there 10+ mins and she just screwed around until exactly 1:01am to say something and when I stated we had been waiting 10 min ahead said "I'm sorry it's after 1 we're no longer serving tacos". You're better off going to cookout at least they're open until 2-330. Better tacos/quesadillas. Will not be returning server ruined all previous experiences. Hope owner sees this and fires her because there was plenty of time to order,prepare, and pay before 1am. read more

Shitty tacos spent 20$ on 4 tacos could go to a real Mexican place and get 4 tacos for 8$ at least should've known when I went in and heard white people music gave the benefit of the doubt shitty food read more

They smoke their own meats for the tacos and everything is house made. Staff is cool and easy going.

Good tacos. Fast service. Bar service style. Enjoyed lunch here. Recommend for a quick bite not a dine in experience

Terrible service. Walked in, sat at the bar and waited to be greeted or asked what our drink order was and the bartender kept looking our way but never approached us. Left after 15 min of never being greeted. Really wanted to like this place but they are a no for me. read more

great local spot. simple menu with great taco options. fun & friendly staff. good for lunch and dinner.
