Been having a hard time finding good mexican food since moving out from California... this is as good as it gets. Soooooo tasty. Quesadillas are a little smaller from what I'm used to but amazingly good. Try the chorizo... Wet burritos are bigger than the regular burritos. Tacos dorados.... not what I was anticipating... taquitos. Tortas are gigantic!! read more

During a hospital visit this week, i've eaten at both La Superior and Super Taqueria...it's a close one but I think this one takes it. Much more authentic feel, portions are sizeable and meats are soft and juicy. read more

Super Taqueria - mmmm i think better than La Superior! Carnitas, Barbacoa, & Al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

So I was invited to get some tacos w a friend of mine, and he suggested this place. It is about 2 miles from my house. I was of the minority walking into this restaurant, but with the support of my friend and the pleasant cashier I was able to get the guidance I needed to place my order. I ended up with 3 tacos. I ordered a carnita taco, chorizo, and broadened my horizons w/ cow tongue in my third taco. Everything was really good! The chorizo was def my fav! I also ordered flan which was delicious! The tacos were priced right and very flavorful! I must say that I found the bullet holes in the front windows of the restaurant a little unsettling, but I'm willing to take my chances and return again for some amazing food! Keep up the great work! read more

Food: 3.5 Service: 4.5 Value: 4.5 Friendly service as well as cheap prices make this a great option in Durham. Tacos were okay, but overall it was a great value stopping in here. read more

Best tacos I've had around the triangle so far for an incredible price! Four tacos and a drink for $8! The tacos themselves are cooked perfectly with the meat being perfectly seasoned and not needing anything to be enjoyable. But to make it better you can add a variety of toppings or salsas from the salsa bar. Well cooked well seasoned and well prepared the taco trifecta ! Update: I also experienced the terrible GI issues about 10 hour after consumption but it was worth it and I'm fine conditioning my gut to that bacteria so long as the tacos keep coming out amazing. read more

Good food, plenty of variety. More expensive than out West, but everything in NC seems to be that way. Burritos are tasty and filling. The Chile Relleno plate is good and the serving size is enough for one very large meal or two medium sized meals so a great deal for the price. I just wish the food here was actually spicy. :) read more

I often get the craving for Mexican food, and to me this place is as good as you can get, especially for the price! The food here is very authentic and tacos are $1.50! They have a variety of styles of meat, I have not sampled all of them, but I really like the chorizo and the asada. They have plenty of other options here, like quesadillas, burritos, tamales and tortas. I also love the tortas! They are very large and I can easily make two meals out of one torta. One of my other favorite things to order here is one of the fresh juices, my favorite is the pineapple, but they have several varieties to choose from. Don't miss the salsa bar, they have two types as well as other toppings to add to your meal. This place is easy to miss when driving down Roxboro Street, look for a yellow sign out front, it kind of looks like a hole in the wall but the food is definitely worth stopping in for. You can easily get lunch or dinner for $5-$10 including a drink. The place is clean and the service is fast and friendly! Highly recommended! read more

Nice Clean restaurant, glass on open grill so you can actually see your food being prepared! Sanitation grade is a strong 98! Very affordable and authentic Mexican Food! read more

Super Taqueria - Best Chicken Taco in Town - Mexican Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Three of us dined in this nice little place today. You can see into the kitchen and watch your food being prepared to order, on the spot. The Toungue and Cabeza Tacos are excellent. There is a salsa bar with a variety of things to add to your food. The burritos are first-class. Get in here and try this place. It is great! read more

I'm just here for that salsa bar! ... And everything else. It is super affordable, and we get a TON of food for far less than nearly anywhere else! Their tacos and burritos are incredible and you can get any kind of meat you can dream of in them. Back to their salsa bar! If you like spicy, super authentic stuff (not your average "Mexican restaurant salsa") seriously, STOCK UP. read more

With La Superior mere minutes north of Super Taqueria and Guanajuato mere minutes south of it, I don't really understand why anyone would rather eat at Super Taqueria. I've been three times because despite the staleness of the salsa bar, the clearly not homemade tortillas and the abundance of greasiness that engulfs all the meats, I keep having friends who say I should give it another try. No thanks. I'll just been hunkering down to a plate of chuletas or tacos dorados or some gorditas a few miles north at La Superior. read more

As my wife and I have been trying to find our authentic spots since we're originally from SoCal, this place was great! Good variety of jugos, nice tender carne tacos, and great salsas. Also great prices! read more

Stopped for lunch because of Google reviews. Menu is in Spanish and I'm a Maine native, so ordered a chicken burrito Majado. More good than a reasonable person can eat in one sitting for $7.49. Probably waited 4 minutes for my food and there is an impressive salsa bar if you want to customize. It all looked fresh and had great flavor. I would definitely return! read more

Super Taqueria - Burrito Mojado Pollo $7.49 - Mexican Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Only slightly super, not muy grande super. Just your s average Mexican fare...kind of thought the table was dirty. Nice staff. Satisfying meal, but not super read more

It was alright. Not the best tacos I've ever had nor the best tacos that I've had in Durham. They're good and have a good selection of meats for you to taste, but their execution leaves you wanting. They really need to have an easier way to put your add-ons on the tacos. They didn't even ask me if I wanted lettuce and tomatoes or pico de Gallo. I know that traditional tacos usually have just onions and cilantro but they didn't even ask me if I wanted that. The meats were good but the carne asada wasn't nearly as grilled as it could have been. Typically when I eat a carne asada taco it tastes like someone grilled a steak and cut it up in my taco. Their carne asada tasted like a slightly higher grade version of the taco Bell or chipotle version of steak meat. If you can't stand the americanized tacos, this is definitely miles better than Chipotle (or E.coltle as I like to call them) and the restaurant is an okay spot for an outing. Their deserts are really good. Tho I wonder if they make them in house. Either way they're very good. read more

I had the most disrespectful experience ever here! I actually go all the time but today was my last day. I simply asked for more limes and green salsa, and was told I could not get any extra with a quesadilla. Now I had 6 quesadillas and I usually am able to get as many as I want no problem. Then a cook came from the back and ripped through my to go boxes and tried to show me I had some already BUT they were red (not what I asked for! I asked for management and they acted as if I didn't exist! Very bad and disrespectful customer service! read more

Wow! I had desayuno and Carol Ann had a burrito al aside and both were delicious. Two jarritos, lime and guava completed the meal.

In need of a Mexican fix we headed to North Durham to "The old Los Comales" but of course there was a line out the door. Not wanting to wait we headed up the road to Super Taqueria. I immediately regretted this move due to their limited taco selection. I like the "dirty meats", especially the cheek, tongue, and head. ST only does the normal chicken, pork, beef, and sausage. I settled on an asada taco to at least give them a try and also ordered a chiles rellenos. The taco was small but for $1.50 it seemed right and I piled it high with pico de gallo and green sauce. The salsa bar isn't mind blowing but they have the basics. The chiles rellenos was only $5 for the platter and it was ok. The beans were good but everything else was very average. My husband ordered a bowl of the menudo and a chorizo taco. He loved the chorizo and stated it wasn't greasy at all and delicious. As for the menudo it lacked the hominy he likes and it was very boney, way more than normal, but the broth was good. We washed it all down with a jumbo horchata for $2. I would say this place does a good job with tacos if you aren't the adventurous type but everything else is average. The prices are some of the lowest I have seen in the area. If you are willing to spend a little more head over to Guanajuato Restaurant of Durham down the road because it blows this place away and they have ALL the dirty meats. read more

See all

Most original taqueria in Durham. Excellent service. Super cheap. Very clean. Quick service and very extensive menu. Will be coming back

Everything about super is authentic, from the delicious food to the Spanish only menu. It looks rough, but it's one of Durham's hidden gems.

The employees were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious and well priced, definitely recommend.

This is one of those amazing hole in the wall places. All the food is fantastic and so cheap, too.

I.like this place a lot probably because it's literally a two minute walk from my house and its got good mexican food at a good.price. I usually get an asada burrito and three tacos which honestly will feed two people. The different hot sauces are nice and I like that they have a nice flat.screen installed. Sometimes there is some fat or bad pieces of meat but not often. Also they really load up the rice and beans on burritos. Overall for the price you can't go.wrong unless your too picky and need ambient lighting and your too.spoiled to enjoy the simple things. read more

If you want authentic tacos with REAL tortillas, high quality meats, and an outstanding salsa bar you have come to the right place.

The food is a 5. I do not think the English language has a word to describe how agonizingly slow this place is. It's not like they are creating beef Wellington. Fuqua take this place on a project. read more

Attention! This place does the authentic mexican tacos! What I love about this place was the stuff you put on the tacos (all the toppings) was at a bar for you to use. I loaded up on the cilantro guilt free. They also have the bottled coke :) And yes, the place was clean! 1 lost star for the sketchy parking and wait time... but don't let that deter you, if I could have given 4.5 stars I would have! read more

Best tacos in Durham. And very cheap. My girlfriend and I spend around $12 for quesadillas, tacos and chips.

This place is great, I feel like i'm back home in Arizona when i eat here! I will be honest in that I don't eat meat so I haven't tried a lot of the menu, however I always go with meat eaters and they're pretty impressed. I get the tamales here and they are super cheap and amazing! The salsa bar is also fantastic, all the basics you would expect plus some interesting ones. read more

We eat here a lot. The quality of the cooking improved a lot recently. The food used to be greasy and salty but now it's not. The salsas have improved in quality. People are very nice. Expect an extremely long line at lunch time. Sometimes the television is on too loud. I recommend the tortas, the gorditas, the burrito (chicken tinga or vegetarian), the chips, the horchata, the tostada ceviche, and my spouse likes the flan. read more

This place is AWESOME. Stopped by with my mom after getting a craving for tacos. The carne asada tacos were REALLY good and decently priced at $2 a piece. The toppings bar (onions, cilantro, sauce, etc) was kept fresh. I will definitely come back! read more

Best mexican food in Durham. I love the ford it's and the huraches. Everything in the menu is so good you can't go wrong but the waters are to die for. read more

great authentic tacos and other things for the right prices. beer, sodas, all sorts of Mexican dishes and an excellent fixins bar to dress it the way you want (no asking for extra salsa, peppers, cilantro, etc.). friendly and welcoming. nice lean meats in the tacos (no big chunks of fat mixed in). I like to check out all the local taquerias and this is still may favorite. read more

A confusing experience. It caters to Spanish speaking only. Wall menu very limited. Order taker knew very little English. They even called our number in Spanish. I ordered beef tacos because that seemed easy. They have only soft shell and came with meat only. The "fixins bar" had red and green sauces, onion, cilantro, and peppers and carrots. No sour cream, cheese, or tomatoes. They were out of pico but I don't eat that anyway. So I used the green sauce which looked like a soupy guacamole but was not. It was a very hot sauce. And our drinks? We had to go to this separate section of the restaurant to get them. They looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked for them. Quesadilla was good and the steak taco was very flavorful but dry and a bit fattier than I like. The pork looked great I just didn't know how to order it. So confusing and disappointing. Maybe if we understood how it worked we could have gotten what we wanted but no one spoke English and nothing written in English. read more
