We were seated in the room off to the left inside the front door and the floor definitely had some issues. Every time someone walked across the room the floor squeaked and bounced. Which is less than exciting when trying to eat dinner. On the other side the food menu is vast offering several choices for dinner. We had the small cheese sauce and chips for an appetizer. The dip flavor was good although a little on the runny side. It had great flavor though. For dinner I had the Quesa Birria basically a beef Birria quesadilla with beef dipping sauce with a side of rice. The quesadilla was very good until I got the long piece of hair inside the quesadilla. Hopefully this is not a normal occurrence.

If you were a fan of Azteca Burrito when it was in Lenoir, you will almost certainly like the fare here. I can give a definite thumbs up to the beef (asada) tacos and burritos.

The business has a Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ElTacorriendoLenoir/, but so far no other web presence.

I'm not often in the Dobson area, so I took his word for it and stopped in to get a gordita. I've had a handful of great gorditas in my life. What's not to love? The deliciously crispy outside? The flavorful inside? The sauce? It's a simple bite, but it can be stale, soggy, bland, etc. The chicken gorditas here are fantastic and fresh. Masa pocket of crispiness and warmth made right on the spot. It came with some radish and cucumber and a side of really nice green sauce. Mild, not tomatillo. So basically, I need to find more reasons to make the drive out here and try the tacos.

I drove the 20 minutes here to try the food after reading a number of glowing reviews - 4.6 Yelp…read morerating over 77 reviews! It is a small place with less than a dozens tables, and a fairly broad menu. It has been operating for about 10 years now. I was particularly interested in the California Burrito with Steak and the tacos with shredded beef, the Birria tacos, the Guadalajara Dog, and the street corn. We tried them all! The California Burrito is an interesting version - filled with pickled jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, onion, avocado, Mexican cheese, sour cream, your choice of protein, and topped with Chili Con Queso once filled. The menu description does not mention FFs which is very much traditional. In fact, the replacement of rice and beans with crispy FFs was what made the California Burrito unique! This is a large burrito, shorter and thicker than the vast majority you'll see. The filling I chose was carne asada and the burrito was topped with what the menu termed "chili con queso". The result was a different looking burrito, but an excellent burrito - and no, I couldn't finish it. The Birria Tacos are only available of Fridays. You get four tacos, sliced radish, Lime wedges, and the house red and green hot sauces. These tacos were well filled with meat and cheese, but there was no consommé, which is very traditional, also no chopped white onion or cilantro - disappointing, would not order again! The street tacos with shredded beef were good, not great - well filled, and well topped with chopped white onion and cilantro. I went all the way which added lettuce, tomato, and Mexican white crumbling cheese, either cotija or queso fresco. Frankly I did not find that the all the way approach worked for me! 3 tacos were $8.99, and all the way added $1.99. These are a bit pricey, most Tex-Mex spots in Winston serve up 4 for just under $13! I wanted to try the Guadalajara Dog more out of curiosity than anything else - I have been in Guadalajara a number of times and experienced some interesting food items, such as Birria (the stew), Pozole, Carne En Su Jugo, BBQ Young Goat, and the Guadalajara Hot Dog ( a wildly popular street food)! The weiner is wrapped in bacon and then deep fried, causing the skin to develop rips. Once in the bun, it is sauced and topped with fresh avocado, chopped onion, ancestry you can add more. This was a good version, but not an item I order often. The street corn consisted of corn kernels, cheese, hot sauce, lime, and a Mayo based sauce. This is a busy item, and I found I prefer the simpler, customary corn on the cob with crumpled cheese. This is an interesting place, one that has a different take on Tax-Mex dishes. Those takes and moves away from tradition are not something for me.

The restaurant is very close to the highway, just enough to park and leave. Building isn't the best looking, needs update and more curb appeal. We were seated immediately in the back half of the establishment. Interior is a Mexican theme if course. Music is playing, almost to loud for conversations. Music sounds like the speakers are very inexpensive. The windows were open for a nice breeze but the window screens are ripped, torn, not attached which allows nature to also enjoy the food. The young girl serving didn't speak English well, when asked a question, she had to get another lady to answer. She did check on us, just once during our meal but did refill our drinks and offered a takeout container. The food was good. We ordered the tortas milanese with chicken and ACP chicken. The sandwich was huge and the ACP was a big plate full. IF we order again, it will be takeout or delivery.
