We ate from Tacomania's food truck (at Weekend Beer Co in Grants Pass) and the food was great! I got the Barbacoa Quesadilla - which is enough for 2. My sister got the Taco salad veggie version. Everything was yummy. read more

The best Mexican food and the best service! All the staff is friendly and helpful Best Fajitas hands down! Outdoor seating when the weather is nice! read more

Stopped here for dinner on a Friday night and it was very busy but service was fantastic and the beer was cold! It's a small place but they do such a good job getting food out in a timely manner. We had the chicken & steak duo fajitas and they were good but not anything amazing-- would recommend the chicken over the steak and expect 90% onions and very little peppers. Everything else was great and we will go back! read more

What a great find! Happened upon Taco Mania on our way to raft. Great food, great prices and friendly service. Too bad we don't live closer but we will be back when we are in the area. read more

Great salsa is an indicator that whats next at an anticipated taqueria. The food here is a great experience, and I'd highly recommend foods with the chicken. Its unique in its got a smoky/charred kind of thing going on. They also have a chipotle kind of sauce thats a special request kind of thing, and not on the salsa bar. They have taco flavor that I've not found elsewhere, and I'd give it five stars if they had a bit more innovation in taco varieties. And if they'd lose the non ethnic waitress that we've had three times in a row. She has no table check back skills or attentiveness and from my perspective there is no excuse for that. Paying attention is what servers are paid to do. TIP stands for "To Insure Promptness". read more

Great food with a wonderful salsa bar when they have it available and great service in a small quaint town. This is a hidden gem. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this place. Burrito was great. Quality tortilla with great flavor and structure. No matter how big and stuffed this burrito was, it was no match to the tortilla and wrap job. Tortilla chips and salsa are awesome read more

Ate at the food truck at Weekend Beer Company taproom. The tacos were delicious and the service was excellent. read more

Good authentic Mexican food. Delicious fish tacos. They are moving to the vacant bank on Monument. It will be nice to have more space.

I've eaten at both the Merlin location and the Grants Pass food truck, both are excellent and serve quality food. One of the more authentic Mexican places around, and nice people besides! I've especially liked the Barbacoa and Pollo Asado burritos read more

If you like good Mexican food you'll enjoy a stop here for lunch or dinner. The street tacos are awesome!

I moved to Merlin at the end of February and have been here already a dozen times. The food is great! I really like all the staff. They are super friendly. Margaritas are yummy and I like the to go option. I think salsa is a food group and really like the flavor of the salsa. I have ordered the street tacos several times and I really like their tamales as well. Tonight I'm am trying the steak fajitas and they are very good. I'm certain they have made a regular out of me. read more

Got food poisoning 8-26-23. Diarrhea and vomiting . Both my girlfriend and I. I had the taco salad and my girlfriend had the street tacos, both beef. I'll never go back again! read more

We had the food truck at the Weekend in GP. The fajitas burrito was so good! The veggies were charred and flavorful. I thought it said pinto beans, but they looked like refried beans to me. The al pastor is legit! read more

Really great little place! The staff is very friendly and on top of the service! We really like the 16 street tacos platter for the family or I love the drunken shrimp and any of the combos. Their margaritas are delicious too! Worth driving in from Grants pass. Yum! read more

Love, Love, Love this place! David and his family are great and the food is awesome !

I couldn't finish my meal! That's very rare for me. My friends call me "dos platos". That's Spanish for two plates. Translation: I can eat a lot of food! I ordered a burrito combo. One plate. One combination plate. And...I couldn't finish it! The portions are huge and reasonably priced. When I say this place is awesome, believe me. I'm an expert in street food, and more notably Mexican street food. This little hole in the wall, non descript little place doesn't look like much. But, let me tell you that when word gets out they will quickly outgrow this location. The food is the real deal. Everything that my table ordered was outstanding. The carne asada tacos were on point, the burrito was huge and the tostada was perfect. I don't know where this family came from or how they ended up in hilllbilly Merlin, Oregon. But, if they keep it up they will soon be the premier Mexican food chain in the Rogue Valley. I'm just glad I was here when it started. I hesitated to write this review, because, I know that the more people that find out about this place means the longer I have to wait for my food. But, hey, they deserve props. Plain and simple, this place does Mexican food right. read more

Always a must to stop here when I'm visiting my parents, food/drinks & service is excellent everytime!

This is the best Mexican Food in Merlin . Great spot to eat great food and enjoy a beer, a tequila, a margarita , you name it ! David is great and the entire staff. Wort every penny . read more

Tacomania - Great Mexican Food . It's about time we got something good in Merlin - Tacos Near Me - Merlin, Oregon

It was 70$, it was such a waste of money, there was absolutely no meat in my food and the salsa was watered down and horrible, the salsa tasted like paprica with water. Go to La Hacienda instead. read more

Tacomania is the Best Mexican Restaurant in the Merlin/Grants Pass area. David & his family do an AMAZING job on creating and executing some truly delicious dishes ! David goes out of his way to make specialty dishes just for you if your craving something special. He is super friendly, courteous and will treat you like a member of his family. Big fan of everything they do & love the specialty margaritas - will be back soon ! read more

I have not necessarily been a big fan of Mexican cuisine but let me say right up front that this restaurant was a "game changer" for me. We have dined at this newly opened restaurant a number of times with family and friends and everyone raves about the quality of the meals. The restaurant is small and from the exterior, you might think - "No It Can't Be", but it is! Their business appears to be growing rapidly as many of the reviews here attest. My favorite dish - bacon wrapped shrimp. Delicious! read more

Disappointing! The people were friendly and responsive, but the food was just below average, at least for these dishes. On their Seafoodmania plates the shrimp taco dish was not good. The bay shrimp were pre fried in batter and then inserted into the taco with cabbage. They should have been un-battered to be fresh tasting, and they should have been bigger shrimp.. The rice was a little dry but OK. The refried beans were not so good. On their combination menu the two chicken enchiladas with beans and rice just didn't measure up. The enchilada sauce was more like marinara and didn't have a good Mexican gravy type of taste . And there wasn't much of it, thus a dry result. Same with the beans and rice. Not rewarding. Maybe we just ordered the wrong stuff. Can't recommend for the price. read more

Three of us ordered chicken fajita burritos and fish taco meals. I travel all over the western states and these were top notch. The rice n beans were awesome and they have a salsa bar with 10-14 different choices and they also have hotter upon request. The men claim the burritos are an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. Ill definitely be back next trip through and these guys have tried many items and claim they are the best. Merlin has a hidden gem. read more

Not much to get excited over, probably one of the most unsanitary, old looking, and just half a$$ed place. I mean do you see where it's located? The only good restaurant in Merlin is Baldinis. I always order a chicken enchilada when I go to mexican restaurants because it's my favorite, when I had came here, it really wasn't much (or literally anything at all) to be excited over. They don't put love into the cooking or the store itself. Wouldn't recommend. read more

This is an excellent restaurant if u like Mexican food. The wait staff are wonderful as well as the food. I not only recommend the restaurant & food but their catering is most accommodating and exceptional. I recommend them highly. Enjoy! I sure do! read more

Float the Rogue ... Eat some really good mexican food! Don't be deceived by the outside. You need to go inside and enjoy the cute decor, yummy food, reasonable prices and great service. Easy to find in the same parking lot a Lil Pantry and video store. Great addition to Merlin! read more

Some of the most authentic Mexican food in the area. David and his staff go out of their way to prepare and customize dishes for every palate. The salsa bar is extensive and the restaurant, while small and quaint is clean and well attended. After visiting just a few tunes, we are made to feel like family and it is easy to see why this business is increasing in popularity. read more

Everything I have tried was delicious. David goes out of his way to make sure you are 100% satisfied with his service. Great place and close to home. read more

Really good food, really good service, really nice owners who make feel glad you came and an adorable little dining room. A wonderful addition to Merlin. read more

I have eaten at a lot of places that serve "Mexican" food, but without a doubt Tacomania gets my best choice pick. Great service, good prices and the quality and quantity of the food is top notch. If you pass through Merlin, Oregon, Tacomania is a must stop. It may be small, but their food is huge! You won't walk out hungry or broke. If you have the appetite and think you can handle it, try their Enchilada Burrito . Their Taco Rancheros are an excellent meal if your not quite as hungry. One of their hot sauce's that is made in house is the best I have eaten. It is made from 3 different peppers if I remember right in oil. The flavor is out of this world. While the sauce is a little warm, (if you are not a hot sauce person, beware) but it has a roasted / smoked flavor that is hard to describe, so try a little and it will keep you coming back. Make sure to get a deep fried ice cream also before you leave. read more

I hate telling everyone how great this restaurant is, because I want to keep it kind of hidden and to myself, but I would be doing David a huge disservice, so if you miss having a meal here, shame on you, because it is THE best place in Josephine county, bar none. David and his family have done a great job here. David trujillo read more

The food here is delicious! Don't be turned away by the fact that the outside of the building is still as dilapidated as when the previous four restaurants occupied the building. The inside has been very nicely remodeled into a relaxing sit down dining experience and the food is SO good. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service. We even took our family from out of town there for dinner instead of driving into Grants Pass. Did I mention the food is muy bueno? read more

outstanding mexi up in Merlin. Great to grab while headed to the Rogue! To go orders ready in 5 minutes or so, perfect for when I'm at work too. read more

Went to Tacomania today. Food was horrible. I had a Carnitas Burrito and two hard tacos. The carnitas tasted very old and had no taste at all and was dry. It was stuffed to the gills with rice and beans. You had to look hard to find the meat. The hard tacos had the same meat, again very dry. Flies outnumbered the customers and staff. My advice don't go, there are better Mexican food places in the area. read more
