Tampa Taco - Pollo, Asada, and Al Pastor tacos with roja sauce! - Tacos Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This is one of your hole in the wall places inside of a small little store. I had some high hopes since the reviews were quite high. However, I was a little disappointed with the quality of the food. Food: Al Pastor Tacos (6/10): I got this with cheese. So the corn taco was wrapped in another corn taco with cheese between it. This was quite delicious and cheesy, and I loved that. The pastor was cooked well with a nice crisp to it. But where it took a turn was the flavor of the taco. There was not much flavor, which is what ruined it for me. Typically, I am expecting each bite to be burting with some flavors with the salsa, cilantro, onions, etc. But this didnt have it, just the flavor of cheese. I wish it came with hot sauce, as there was no spice to it. Quesa Birra (5/10): My wife initially said she liked this, but when I tried it. This was something else that lacked a lot of flavor. Just like the al pastor taco, this was wrapped in cheese. The consomé tasted like water soup to me. It lacked the salt and spice in it. After a while, my wife said her stomach was hurting, so something was not adding up. Overall, I was disappointed since the reviews spoke so highly of this place. I probably give it a 5/10. It's worth checking out if you are in the area. But I am not sure if I will go back. read more

We love tacos and I have to say these are the BEST and most authentic tacos we've ever had. They are packed with flavor and you get yours money worth of meat. They fill them full with meat and cheese. The tortillas are homemade! We tried the queso birria tacos which is as shredded beef taco with melted cheese in between two tortillas. I've never had something like that before and it was sooo good. It comes with a delicious dipping sauce too. My favorite was the quesa asada which has the same tortilla with cheese in between but filled with marinated steak. It was juicy and so flavorful. We will definitely to try the rest of the menu and buy some other items from the store. Tampa Taco is located inside the El Rancho Groceria in West Tampa. It's owned and run by a local family. Go give them a try!!! Classic Quesobirria Tacos read more

Located in a little Mexican bodega, and only open two days per week, Tampa Taco is the place to go for all things birria and also tasty drinks. I went for the birria ramen. I placed my order, and then browsed around the bodega (where I bought all the different types of chiles I need to eventually make my own birria -- I hadn't been able to find these in any of the usual grocery stores). It took about 15 minutes for my order to be ready. The birria ramen was served in the ramen cup and thankfully wrapped in Saran wrap. Not a drop spilled on my drive home. The ramen was very good. The noodles were a bit soggy as they kept on absorbing soup. But the flavor was awesome. I appreciated that they gave me a small container of chili oil to add since birria itself is pretty mild, and I like everything picante. There were a couple slices of avocado on top for a creamy texture. The meat was very tender. I also had a mango melon agua fresca. It is served with a Tajin/Chamoy rim and a scoop of mango sherbet. It was super refreshing and also sated my appetite while driving home. I'm so happy to have finally had the opportunity to check this place out. I can't wait to return to try their crunch wrap and classic quesobirria tacos. read more

The BEST tacos in Florida hands down! I was so excited to dine here since it had been 2 years since our first visit. The authenticity and flavor of these tacos is insanely delicious. The Quesa Birria features loaded shredded beef and melty Mexican cheese, topped with cilantro, onion, salsa, and perfectly cooked tortillas. The birria sauce is like Mexican French dip juice - OMG finger licking good! read more

New addiction. Kind of thankful they're only open Friday & Saturday 12-9, or I might become something resembling a Crunchwrap. Everything here is ON POINT. Customer service, recommendations, everything has been delicious & we've so far tried tacos (steak, chicken), nacho fries, Crunchwrap, quesadilla, guac/chips, agua Fresca. They have a menu but consistently have other offerings, so ask!! Located in the back of El Rancho on the corner of Chestnut/Habana & everything is served to go, feel free to eat the second you hit the curb, I've seen more people snacking out in their cars, truck beds, on the sidewalk... part of the experience if you don't live closeby and you won't be sad about it. The food is fantastic. read more

Parking is kinda scratchy (street parking). Walking in the grocery store, everyone is very nice. However food took a little over 20min even though i was the only one there, and the ramen was not as good as I expected. The birria was good though. Also the agua fresca was a good summer drink! read more

Tampa Taco - Al pastor Quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Wow so this place definitely doesn't look like much and it's one of those if you don't know you'd never stop in. It's located at the back of a convenient store. Like old school shady looking bodega. But let me tell you it was oh so worth it. I went with a friend and we literally couldn't stop saying, " oh man this is good" with every bite. When we finished we looked at each other and said we fat lol we wanted more just because the flavor was over. It was like a roller coaster that ended and you want to get back in line to do it again. Yea these tacos are that amazing read more

I was RIPPED OFF!!!!! I would give No Stars if I could! Ordered 3 Birra tacos & 3 Asada tacos for $13 each. After I paid, I was told they were out of Birra tacos, so I changed that to 3 Chrizo tacos for $10. When I asked for my $3 refund twice, the guy said Too Bad, no refund. It's not about the amount of money, it's that they completely refused to refund anything. I like the food but their customer service sucks! Avoid this place at all cost, unless you want to get ripped off like I did. You can find just as good, if not better, tacos anywhere in Tampa. And with better personal service. read more

If you know about bodegas in New York that serve delicious and tasty food and your home sick or just want a new flavor in ya mouth, then go check out Tampa Taco. I was starving and had just moved into the neighborhood and needed a spot to pick something up real quick, and stumbled upon this gem. If you love Barria tacos I would recommend this place, the flavor from the food is authentic and worth the wait because I taste that it was made with genuine love and care. I order a Barria Ramen, and the flavors through the sauce hit different parts of my palate, there is ramen noodles, shredded beef, cilantro and avocado. If you like your food a little spicy, I would suggest requesting the additional sauce seen in the above pic. With every bite you take you may feel like being in your workout for the day, because the spice will make you sweat, but 100% worth it with every bite. read more

Tampa Taco - a person dipping sauce onto a plate of tacos - Tacos Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Best tacos in Tampa. I don't know anything about authenticity, but I know a damn good taco. This is one of them.

Can be tricky if you're unsure what you're looking for but they are actually Located inside of a corner store bodega! Parking available on the street walk all the way to the back and you'll find a small counter taking orders. No tables or chairs inside or out for dining-to go only. Made to order to be prepared to walk thru the isles as you wait. We tried the birria ramen which had sliced avocado on top, a pretty large portion and very tasty. The tacos were nicely stuffed and had plentiful onions, cilantro and salsa on top. The asada fries was a hearty large portion with lots of toppings, eat this first because the fries will get soggy if you wait too long. Overall filling and very flavorful! read more

This place is tucked in the back of a bodega, you know like the corner stores they used to have in local neighborhoods. I ordered the queso Birria food came relatively fast. Got a couple jarritos and off to the vehicle I went, I might add there is no seating you just pick up your food and go. My tacos were delicious hot the broth was delicious. You can add an extra taco à la cart if you want I will definitely be back to try the steak Asada fries their culinary concepts are unique yet simple and their food is good. They do have adult beverages, beer with Clamato and a seasoned rim if you feel like a cold adult beverage. They also have a few desserts which I didn't try unfortunately. If you're in the neighborhood stop in, it's definitely good eats. read more

Tampa Taco - Steak Crunchwrap supreme - Tacos Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This place sells out fast - order early. Try their asada fries -- but ask for them to sub out the asada with the birria meat. It's tender and juicy and the flavor soaks into the waffle fries perfectly. The toppings of warm cheese, cold guac, sour cream and pico de gallo create the perfect balance. My second favorite food here is the quesadillas. They're cooked like the birria tacos with the flavor and juices cooked into the shell, and the inside is gooey and perfect. It comes with a side of broth for dipping that makes the whole meal just melt in your mouth. Don't leave without trying one of the Chamoynito agua frescas. The tamarindo is 10/10. Their horchata (made with almond milk) is also a must-try. Call ahead and pick it up. Or order when you get there. But you probably won't make it home before you pull over to eat some of it in your car. It's just too good. read more

This was the best quessabirria I've ever had. It's located in the back of the market, everyone that worked there was friendly & while we waited I was able to walk around & grab a drink to go. We got an order of quessabirria & surf n turf... those surf n turf tacos were PHENOMENAL. Like no exaggeration lol. The steak was crispy and delicious, the shrimp was not overcooked and super flavorful. Omg... me and my friend sat in the car across the street and went in, they were not going to make it! I wanted to give him his first "birria experience" & I had taken him somewhere that wasn't authentic & this made up for it x10. Amazing, amazing, amazing & this is now my go to spot. They're only open fri & sat so I will make sure to be there. Lol Next time I will include pictures. read more

You have to go into a bodega towards the back. The steak tacos were amazing! I also got the Mexican ramen.

Really good birria tacos! You have to look for it, it's in the back of a grocery store, but it's yummy when you do!

Very tasty and nice serving sizes. Easy access to get to but parking is a little limited.

It's seriously addicting!!! I've tried multiple quesabirria spots in Tampa and Tampa Taco IS just like, if not better then the original ones I tried in California!! The fact that they have HOME MADE tortillas beats every other spot I've tried. I wish they opened everyday. FYI it is to go orders only.
