The wait is long sometimes but totally worth it! So far I've tried the tacos, flautas and menudo

I don't know how this place is still open. There were so many flies inside the establishment and the Kearny Asada had a lot of fat on the meat. I will never go there again not even to use the restroom. read more

We ordered burritos and tacos for a party. You cant beat the price here. Tacos had a hearty portion of meat and was tasty. Burritos were a decent size. read more

Their tacos of tripitas are amazing! All of their food is authentic and delicious. Their service Is fast and efficient.

We went here thinking it was something else and it was not what we expected. I wasn't disappointed in it too much but my family didn't care for too much so I might go back there again and try. If I remember correctly, the prices were what bothered me seem like it was a bit overpriced. Check into the prices before you go. The prices I saw online we're not the prices in the in the restaurant, so do call them to make sure what their prices are A good role of thumb I have with any Restaurant if you're not sure about it call him and say what is your least expensive and most expensive main dishes and what are they? Some people get weirded out by that but that's a good way to get an idea and get caught going in a quick oh my gosh this was so much more than what we realized. And be sure to look online like here and check reviews The food as I said, wasn't that bad it was very quiet restaurant when I was in there, but we went in between meals about 2:30 in the afternoon when you're not gonna have very many people in there. Good luck wish I could've given more. read more

Amazons food. Very very good. Staff was friendly and the prices were good. One of the best Mexican food restaurants we've had in OKC.

Came back for their carne asada fries! So hefty. Meat is delicious. GET THE HOT SAUCE read more

It was good, our family enjoyed the food. The Al pastor was greasy so be aware. Carne asada and carnitas were good. The carne asada fries were mid cause the fries were soggy and it was just thrown together. The salsas real complemented the meat. Burritos were on point with meat, rice, and beans. I would suggest eating there instead of taking it home if you get nachos or meat fries. I will come back. read more

It is hard to enter the parking lot and place was pretty empty when I visited. The cashier was very friendly. They have agua frescas that i highly recommend. I can be very picky about agua frescas, and i was having a hard time deciding which one to order and she let me taste a little bit of all three and they were all delicious! I ordered the menudo and asked that hominy be included. I enjoyed it and it was very filling read more

Good, authentic tacos are everywhere these days, but time and time again, I end up back at Taqueria Express. It's an actual restaurant, so you can dine in, or use the drive thru. Service is really fast either way! If you decide to dine in, you're able to get drink refills, as well as help yourself to their sauces and relish bar. I enjoy the fresh pico on days that I do dine in. With regards to the seating, there's a lot of it, and it is family friendly inside. Their menu is huge, so I'm sure everyone can find something to enjoy. It's not just a taco place, as they do serve full on dishes, like fried tilapia or breakfast items, like French toast and eggs! My usually go to items are tripa tacos, which come out so crispy and chewy, and chicken taquitos. This all pairs well with a refreshing horchata--to put out the fire from the sauces! Overall, it's a great place to try if you want something other than Taco Bell one evening! read more

Food is okay, nothing impressive, but also prices are not very high. Customer service was nice.

I happened to be out past normal dining hours on the South Side last night, so I decided to grab something to eat. No shade on fast food (sometimes nothing will do but something battered pulled from a vat of bubbling fat), but I was looking for some Mexican/Mexican adjacent fare from both a dietary and flavor standpoint. So, like any good Yelper, I fired up my app. It led me to Taqueria Express. Now, I was born on the South Side and worked over there for several years, so I know this turf pretty well. I forget exactly what Express' building used to be (I'm thinking it was a Captain D's, but it might have been a barbeque joint. Anyway, I only bring this up because I'm always fascinated when entrepreneurs repurposed chain restaurant buildings, especially ones that have strong branding elements. When you're my age, you can spot an old school Braum's or Taco Bell at half a mile, but hustlers find a way to make it their own. It was around 11:15PM when I pulled in to the parking lot. When I walked in, they were mopping. I was the only customer there. I had no problem with that; I've worked late at restaurants and as long as I get fed, you can handle your business and get out as soon as the doors lock. The first thing that caught my attention was the extensive menu. Everything was displayed by name, menu number, and a photo. I was so hungry that it took me some time to decide, but I eventually decided on the Steak Ranchero. I omitted a couple of things for dietary reasons, and took a seat to wait for my order. Someone else came through the drive-thru and placed an order. After about five to seven minutes, my order came up and I was out the door. Now, I will bring up that as I was leaving, there were some young guys yelling at each other while traipsing through the vacant lots/fields behind the restaurant. It should be noted that there's an OnCue across the street from the restaurant, and a large newer design 7-Eleven a block north. May Avenue is a busy street, there are several apartment complexes nearby, and it was after 9PM. Nothing bad happened, but sensible people open their eyes wider and observe their surroundings the later it gets. As a wise person once told me, "If you stay ready, you don't gotta get ready." Enough said. So, I'm in the car and headed home. The food smells amazing, and I'm really hungry. I noticed the container's weight on my way to the car (surprisingly heavy), and I'm uncertain about how the dishes will be set up, so I put my hand in the bag to see if there's any way I can grab a bite of something. When I do, I feel something wet and it's not condensation. A little something had leaked out. I really didn't want to stop the car to investigate, so I stuck some napkins in the bag and hoped I didn't have a major issue on my hands. Once I parked at home, I saw that the container was so full, some of the sauce had leaked out of the styrofoam clamshell. The only reason why I bring this up is to put you on alert that if you get takeout or delivery. My portion was enormous, but so big that the clamshell couldn't hold it all neatly. Hey, God bless generosity. So, I park and I open the box. WOW, that's a lot of food. It's set up to be consumed with tortillas, so there was lettuce, tomatoes, a big chunk of lime, and (thank you, food gods) pickled carrots (pretty sure they're called Zanahorias en Escabeche, and they're proof that Latin culture is brilliant). The extra acid was welcome, because this dish was RIIIIIIIIIICCCCHHHHH. Incredibly flavorful. The sauce was thicker than what I typically see with most Ranchero dishes, and it made all the difference. Either they use roasted tomatoes in that sauce, or they let it simmer for a long period of time and then assemble the dish when it's ordered. Regardless of the method, this was one of the better dishes I've experienced in OKC in the past five years. It's that good. I literally sat in my car with the door open and just scarfed through that huge amount of food. It was amazing. Looking back this morning, I have several observations. One, I really want to go into the restaurant and have a sit down experience. Having all the ingredients presented the way they're intended at a table would probably be even better than the caveman approach I took last night (although I'm not complaining). Two, they have a number of breakfast dishes on their menu, and they look/sound great. If I would have known about this place when I was working on the South Side, it would have solved my persistent breakfast issues. Three, anyone coming here should temper their expectations with regards to decor. It's obviously a restaurant run by food-focused ownership/management. The finish/decor is inexpensive, and has some wear on it. However, it's clean, and the service was unfailingly kind. You're not coming here to be impressed by the table setups or the cool interior design. You're coming here for kick-ass food. And that's why I'll be coming back. HIGHLY recommended. read more

Found out about this place through work 5 years ago and haven't stop going since. If you like authentic Mexican food give this place a try. Also, if you like breakfast burritos, you will love theirs no matter what meat you choose. read more

Hoy pase torta dije morra no cebolla echan extra cebolla. No pienso volver comer ay. No recomiendo

I hit their drive thru last night. I ordered a three taco plate with one Al pastor, one carne asada, and one carnitas. I was going to order a lengua taco too but they didn't have it. Idk if they were out, or just don't offer it anymore. It came with rice, beans, lettuce, guac, a lime wedge, and the spicy pickled carrots. It was DELICIOUS. All the meats were tender and juicy. Rice and beans were great, lettuce was fresh, guac maybe needed some salt and lime but I'm not holding that against them. I live 20 minutes away and will definitely be back. I'm from San Diego, and I am so glad I found this place! read more

3 meat breakfast burrito is amazing! service is fast. dine in is clean. Definitely recommended! you won't be disappointed.

After a few visits, honestly, I was torn on this place. But their awesome Asada Fries have finally won me over for good! They are made a bit differently here than where they originated in Southern California, in that they get both melty shredded cheese and gooey nacho cheese, plus they mix in sauteed onions (a wonderful addition!). I do wish they would give you a bit more sour cream and guacamole. It goes super fast. Even so, they are still quite possibly the best smothered fries in the metro! The small chunks of asada/steak are plentiful, tender, marinated and cooked until dark and packed with flavor. They make them LA style with added refried beans, which I recommend to ask for on the side for a truer version. These fries are so delicious I almost almost forgot the ice cold service we had here on our first visit...Oh, and my husband insists his multi day bout with food borne illness could only have originated here. Anyway, that's all water under the bridge. Well, nearly, I docked just one star. (BTW, I left healthy each visit) Their street tacos are also flavorful and authentic. Just keep in mind their salsas are packin' some serious heat. Carne asada fries are a rare treat here in OKC, very hard to find. They need to be experienced. read more

Holy hell. This place is a serious hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and please try it. The asada fries were absolutely out of this world. The service was extremely friendly and the food is so insanely good. We took breakfast burritos to go (fries subbed for the potato, of course), and we were not disappointed. We'll be back. Most definitely. read more

I literally go here every Friday to get tacos.. you will not be disappointed. The beans and rice are fire also!

Great food and service. Nice selection of choices of food to select from. Menudo and Pazole are great.

Not tooooo bad!! I ordered take-out for my co-workers and I. We got a mix of asada, carnitas, and barbacoa tacos. In addition, we got a side of asada fries. Food is packed VERY well! Overall, everyone enjoyed the food, everything was hot, meat was tasty, toppings were just right. The only downside, their salsa could use some work. Nothing special about their salsa and I felt didnt bring much flavor to the overall meal. Quick and easy drive-thru service! read more

Amazing food and staff ! Also close to home so if I want something that's quick and easy to grab other than Taco Bell or Braums I go here .

The food is decent but they are taking absolutely no precautions for customer safety. The person who took our order had her mask below her nose. The person cleaning up and walking by all the customers was wearing no mask whatsoever. The cook had their mask below their nose (you can see them through the little window. Most customers are wearing masks but those that aren't are not being told to put one on. Do not recommend to anyone. read more

Dear Lord baby Jesus, your tacos are made for someone that cares. I have not had carne asada this good since California and I sure missed it. I wish I could take a picture but I ate it all. I will be coming back every time I drive into the city. read more

First time visit and the food was fantastic. They have a great selection of bottled beverages, fountain drinks and agua fresca (and HORCHATA!). Service was good, too. There's even a drive-thru. The only bad mark was that the cook had their mask below their nose. But, improper masks is a common sight in restaurants these days, it seems. The cooks get really hot, so I understand. Seems like the restaurants or owners could at least spring for a ventilated mask for these cooks who have to be se diligent in such conditions. Thanks for a great take-out meal! read more

Long wait for food and the service isn't the greatest but the food is really good and cheap. Asada fries and anything with the al pastor is a safe bet here read more

In a ghetto location of OKC but the food is definitely worth it! The price is not over $10 for my favorite (Asada fries). The customer service could be a bit better but as long as my food is good that's all that really matters. read more

Good food, reasonable price. I would say what people don't know with these tiny restaurants that they don't have stuff premade as in everything's made fresh and throw in the microwave or fryer so that way maybe long when rush-hour hits. read more

This food is the best in OKC. Cooked perfectly. Attentive service. I had a complicated order and it was prepared exactly per my request. I had a chicken burrito with everything less onion, added spicy pork, lettuce, cheese, soul cream on the side and the wet portion also on the side. It was delicious. My wife had lengua tacos and said they we perfect. Every bite was tender and delicious. This was ordered on a Saturday at 9am. We ate in and the food was out in 5 minutes. We highly recommend this place for the friendly people and amazing food. read more

Proof that you should not judge a book by the cover. This has become the secret go-to for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. The carne street tacos and chicken burrito are my go to meals. Improving the score is the price; 5 tacos for a little over $5! Having shared this hidden treasure with some friends has resulted in T-E (as my wife calls it) becoming a weekly occurrence for us all. Don't miss a chance to give this place a chance. read more

Yeah. I went in for breakfast and cup of coffee. I walked out with all of my daily calorie allotment consumed. The price is inexpensive and portions are huge. I had a huge plate of huevos rancheros with a cup of José, and my bill was seven bucks and change. This place is great, for what it is, inexpensive Mexican comfort food. read more
