I'm telling everyone that I know about this restaurant. It's so good and unassuming. I absolutely love the salsa. It's so fresh. The chips are my favorite. I remember eating them as a kid. Generally I don't enjoy tilapia but this was seasoned very well. I enjoyed the rice also. The only thing I'd like is to taste more flavor in the beans. They also have beer available to enjoy. I'll be back to try their breakfast also. read more

Tacos Casa Miguel - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

Most folks don't even know this restaurant exists. It's located off the beaten path. Hidden behind a gas station in a very aged retail strip. As they say, hidden gems are the best. The owner greets you at the door and confirms dine in or carry out. The dining area is small yet comfortable. Salsa is delivered with in moments. Drinks consist of soda and beer, water of course. The menu is simple yet sufficient. Ratings: Carnitas: 10 Tacos: 10 Burrito: 10 Check the hours. Dinner is only served on Thursday-Saturday. read more

I made it a point today to seek out this small, hole-in-the-wall taqueria. It's located in a small, very worn strip center, fronted by an Exxon convenience store. The interior is a narrow, rectangular shape with 6 or so booths available for dining in, and though worn and dated, the area is bright and clean. You order at the register, which I did, and my order was quickly taken, efficiently & with a smile. My order consistently of Chorizo Tacos (4) , a single Sope with carnitas as the meat of choice, and an order of Cheese and Pork Pupusas, which comes with a side of spicy slaw! This was plenty of food, at least half of which would travel home with me. And included with my order was a nice quantity of chicarrones de harina (a pinwheel shaped, puffed wheat, very popular, Mexican street snack) along with a small container of the house salsa. These wheat puffs are easy to make, not especially labor intensive, so I assume they, liked everything else, were made in house. I had this many times from street vendors in several different open air markets in Mexico City. These from this restaurant are nice and crunchy, but a bit under seasoned - missing was a healthy dash of saltiness! But dipping them in the provided salsa made them a moot point - this salsa is smoking. and you may, as well! The Sope was layered with a plentiful amount of fork tender, shredded carnitas, and though the traditional outside crust was absent, this was a righteous item. The Chorizo Tacos were equally good with plenty of fresh tasting , ground sausage topped with chopped onion and cilantro, with fresh sliced radish and lime wedges providing additional flavor and texture. Only one tortilla per taco is used here, so there will be more than a little spillage - napkin up for sure! The Cheese and Pork Pupusas were hearty & well grilled, but a bit bland on their own - that's where the spicy slaw and salsa come to the rescue. Excellent food, great service, and nice value - hard to see a reason not to seek this local spot out. Ambiance - 2 Food - 4.5 Service - 4.5 Value - 4.5 read more

Next addition in my hidden gem, don't judge a book by it's cover series, as of late... Tacos Casa Miguel. A place that you'd be making a mistake to pass up. From the outside, it admittedly looks a little rough, and it actually does not face the main road, you have to drive around the side of a small strip mall to access it. That said, do it. And enjoy their awesome food, warm friendly service, and in my opinion the best salsa around! Upon walking in I was immediately greeted, sat at a table, and asked for my drink order. I went with one of their fresh juices, pineapple juice. Truly fresh, there was pineapple pulp and tiny pineapple skin fragments in the beverage. Nothing that would prevent drinking it, and it was so refreshing! I was brought an order of "chips" and salsa, these chips are actually chicharrones de harina, a puffed wheat kind of snack. I really enjoyed this unique taste... and let me tell you, the salsa has a wonderful kick that I really loved! I definitely had to get more salsa to enjoy with my meal. I'd go so far as to say, for those who like a little heat, this is your destination for salsa in the Triad! For my meal, i ordered a single pork and cheese pupusa which came with a nice refreshing slaw, and an order of three carnitas sopes. All of which I would order again! The carnitas here particularly are very flavorful, super tender pork. I agree with the other yelpers, whatever form you choose, go for carnitas your first time! Overall, I'm definitely going to be back here again, and I hope those who read this choose to go a little off the beaten bath to support this excellent taqueria in Kernersville! read more

I moved to Kernersville from Arizona and think this place was sooo good! I got the chili verde plate and loved it. It came with tortillas, rice and beans. They were attentive with our service and were able to answer any questions we had. Will definitely be back! Have to try the rest of the menu because they have a good variety. read more

Best Mexican food around, owner is very friendly and attentive. Always serves up fresh food

Out of all the taqueria's in kernersville I find this one to be the most authentic and flavorful. This is my third time here and the food has been consistent. I tried the Papusas, tacos, tortas, and Gordita's. Everything was delicious and made to order. The salsa has a great kick and is paired with chicharrones. The atmosphere is simple, clean, and nothing fancy. You seat yourself, and immediately greeted with a server. One last important tip- Horchata is a must here. Trust me on this one. read more

Might be in my top 5 places to eat in the Triad. Brought the family and everyone enjoyed the food. Kids got a quesadilla and a taco. Wife got a couple gorditas which were good. Got a michelada which was good and went with the chile verde... Get the chile verde, it was excellent and one of the best meals Ive had in a while. Homemade tortillas, simple ingredients, no frills. Pretty sure they have the best salsa in the Triad. Service was great, as usual. Kids loved the fail videos on tvs. This place makes me happy, so I even bought a shirt for $10. My only regret is that should have got some salsa to go. Go here, support this business. read more

Tacos Casa Miguel - The family getting ready for our lunch. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

If you want authentic Mexican food this is your place! There isn't a lot of space inside to eat so I don't recommend going with a big party. I just went in placed a take out order and waited outside for it- maybe took 10 mins max during peak lunch time. I ordered a chicken burrito, 2 steak tacos and it came with Chicharrones and salsas. One of the salsas was super spicy so be careful before you go throwing it on everything. read more

Tacos Casa Miguel - Carnitas tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kernersville, North Carolina

From AZ and this is as close as to to Sonoran food as we have found. Fast, tasty and reasonable. trifecta in the triad.

A great addition to Kernersville's growing taqueria scene. This place is a total dive, feels a little sketchy on the outside and is no frills inside. But the warmth and the charisma of the owner shines through immediately. He was friendly and helpful and very proud of his food. We tried the four taco plate with al pastor, chicharrón, asada and chorizo. Not too many places offer chicharrón tacos so I get them whenever I see them. They are an acquired taste for the uninitiated. It's pork fat, simmered in sauce, so they are very soft but full of flavor. All of the tacos were a hit. But I need to go back to try their Tacos al vapor. Nobody offers these anywhere, they are steamed tacos, also known as tacos de canasta, or basket tacos. We also tried the pupusas which were cheesy and comforting. Their chips and salsa are quite different here. They serve chicharrónes de harina. These are fried wheat chips, a common snack in Mexican households, and served with a salsa that packs some serious heat. It's not the hottest salsa ever, it's just hotter than the chips and salsa you'll get anywhere in the Triad. Provecho! read more

Let me be the first to say, literally the first, that Tacos Casa Miguel is some of the finer authentic tacos in the area! The traditional little storefront with not much in the way of signage is a plus in my book! Though I want him to succeed, I also don't want this place to explode! My second encounter with this taco store, and might I say, you can't go wrong with any of the tacos! The Asada are very good with its well seasoned steak! The absolute best is the Carnitas tacos! The juicy tender pork that's slightly fried is absolute heaven!! His house made verde sauce that you drench that pork in will have you singing while eating! Today I tried his pork n cheese pupusas and they are just insane! The corn meal is nicely toasted to a slight crunchy exterior, but the pork n cheese just moistens everything back to a fantastic finish! Tacos Casa Miguel is the real deal for authentic Mexican food and a welcome addition to the area! read more

Don't let the looks of the building change your idea about what's inside. We had the nicest server who even opened the door for us. They serve free chicharrones with some bomb spicy salsa, it tasted so fresh. I got 4 tacos, al pastor, pollo, carnitas and al vapor. They all come with onions, lots of cilantro, radishes and limes. They also bring out two sauces to the table verde and rojo, they were both super tasty although the verde was my favorite. My fiancé ordered gorditas (3) and he said they were super good too. He said this makes his top 5 of Mexican places we have been. This was the most authentic one I've ever been to, I will definitely be back. I ate all 4 of my tacos and I am about to bust!! read more

Food is amazing! I go here at least once a week. Amazing customer service and the food is the best Mexican food in this area hands down.

Man all I have to say is holy cow. The food was great. I had the street tacos and they were great. I also ordered the papusas and they were also great. Only issue I had was that I couldn't finish the meal. You get a lot of food. Appetizer is good as well. I can't say enough about the staff. Very helpful and explained everything to you. The price was good. The seating is limited but it's like a hole in the wall place. Which makes it a diamond in the ruff. read more
