    Carne Asada Torta. Best one that i have found while living in Greensboro!!! A must try...:and that green sauce, yes please !!!!!!
    William B.

    Hands down best tacos in Greensboro, and to top that they sell them at 8am. Carne Assad are our go to taco, but their barbacao are legit as well. They also have lunch plates, soups and other specialties. Monday thru Thursday are dollar tacos. Many other options that you will Just have to check out on your own. Small little store that sells spices , hard to find Mexican items, a butcher counter. Definitely a great spot for tacos. After all tacos are life. Also, grab a couple of their homemade popsicles made with fresh fruit and milk. I was hesitant at 3.50 a pop, but oh my the strawberry one tasted like a milkshake. Wish I bough 10 now

    Happy Cinco!  Carne Asada!!!

    Taqueria Hildalgo is off the charts! This Salvadorian/Mexican spot is absolutely to die for! The slow roasted chicken plate, that comes with rice and pinto style beans, was without question the best I've ever had! With a definite spicy heat, and meat that literally falls off of the bone, this is the go-to plate for ordering! The carne asada tacos was no slouch either! The meat is cooked perfectly, seasoned very well, and no fatty pieces to be found. They have three different tamales at any given time, and seeing how hard it is to find good tamales around here, I definitely ordered two and went verde in my selection. Again, a noticeable heat in the interior portions, but absolutely some of the best I've enjoyed! Our server, which was extremely helpful, beckoned us to try a pupusas and I gladly obliged! Filled with beef, beans, and cheese, laid on a flat top to brown the exterior, all I can say was "Have Mercy"!! These are people serving their food, made with love, and it shows forth in each item on the menu! BTW, their tortillas are homemade!!

    Gorditas con carne!

    Very kind and accommodating folks who make authentic practically homemade Mexican food. Nice waitress and good service by happy associates. I had gorditas con carne and they were very good. Plenty of food and superb pickled jalapeños. Worth the drive and time.

    This has become one of my favorite lunch stops for some outstanding authentic Mexican food. I've been coming here for a while now and everything I've had from here has been just awesome. Every time I stop here I'm always the only non Hispanic person in the place, employees and customers all speaking Spanish to each other. The girls at the check-out counter and the one waitress that's always working at lunch do speak English, but there could be a slight language barrier at some point, the folks here are just great and so hospitable. It's a little Mexican market about the size of a convenience store, there is stuff stacked everywhere in here. They also have a butcher counter in the back right beside the kitchen, not the greatest looking meat counter, but I'm just here for the real deal Mexican cookin'. Figuring out the ordering process was a bit tricky the first time I went in, there's nothing directing you as to what to do. So if you want to dine-in, you take a left just passed the register as you walk in the door and go take a seat in the dining room and the waitress will attend to you, if you want to place a take-out order as I always do, you walk to the back where the kitchen is and the waitress will come and take your order then you just stand there and wait on it or browse around the store and check out all the cool stuff on the shelves, they have a great selection of hot sauces, I actually found my new favorite hot sauce here, it's black. It's made from roasted habanero peppers and the charred peppers make the sauce black, not really really hot as you may expect, but it does have a little kick and makes whatever you put it on taste like it was cooked on a grill, it's awesome. I usually get tacos when I stop, all the varieties I've had here have all been great, but I must say the barbacoa just may be my favorite. They do beef and lamb barbacoa, both are outstanding. It's the only place I've ever seen lamb barbacoa offered. These two options aren't always available, but when they are, I'm on it. The fresh made tamales cooked in the husk are ridiculous, they do two kinds, Tamale Mexicano(has pork and red sauce filling) and Tamale Salvadoreno(I believe has chicken and a green sauce filling), fresh made tamales $1.25 each, every day. I love their beans that come with the lunch plates(platillos), they still have some whole beans in there along with diced jalapenos, just great. I could go on, but you get the picture, awesome authentic Mexican food here...yeah it looks a little rustic and not much as far as atmosphere, but the food is outstanding and that's what it's all about right?

    Blurry, but here's the papusa with the cabbage on the side. It was soooo good and the cabbage was surprisingly really great as well.

    Update for our 2026 annual visit:…read more We ate in this year and the service and ambiance matched the quality of the food we had last year. I have been looking forward to the World Ninja Championships so that I can eat here again and the team did not disappoint. I had the special, chilaquiles supreme and YES! Flank steak butterflied and so tender that I cut through it easily with a butter knife. They make the chips fresh for each order of chilaquiles and you can taste it. Generous amounts of every flavor that went into the meal and I left stuffed! Hands down, my favorite place and I have a feeling we are making a second trip here this year for sure! First impression as you walk in, or look at images of the menu: AUTHENTIC! First impressions when you bite into your food: They nailed the first impression! I had the lingua, tripa, pez, and Pastor tacos. My family had the California burrito, chicken and beef tacos, and the Enchiladas Mexicanos with mole and salsa verde. We also added a side of guac and chips. Guac: thin mixed avocado and perfectly sized chunks mixed in with the tomato and seasonings. An absolute must! The 4 tacos I ate were succulent to say the least. The tripa was thin and crispy, but you could taste the rendered fat in them. It had the texture of perfectly cooked bacon. Al pastor is one of my favorites and this one did not disappoint. Then there was the pez taco that was just the right amount of crispy without being an iota overcooked. At last I ate the lingua taco. It melted in my mouth and I immediately wanted another. I don't even like mole sauce, but I couldn't stop eating the mole enchilada. Aces, hands down. The California burrito was phenomenal and had the perfect amount of each ingredient and a delectable amount of heat and sweet cream sauce. The chicken was obviously hand shredded and had equal amounts of larger chunks of meat and thin pulled pieces to soak up all the flavor in endless nooks and crannies. If you have not been here please do your palate a flavor and stop in. The value far exceeded the price of our meals and we plan on coming here every year when the World Ninia finals rome to town

True to its namesake, there are brightly colored folk art designs throughout the restaurant in line with their Mexican heritage. The trees that make it look overgrown from the outside actually serve to allow sunlight while masking the surrounding city, facilitating the transformation that makes you feel like you're in Mexico City. We came at an off-peak time in the afternoon and it was nearly empty. We were seated immediately and the service was prompt and attentive. I was pleased to see some unique menu offerings like Birra Ramen and Sopes that deviate from the standard American-friendly fare in most places. Drinks were good - we had a regular house margarita, a triple berry margarita, and a jalapeño cucumber margarita. All were tasty and I would order again. I tried to order a Mezcalita, since it's not often I see a Mezcal option, but they were out of that particular liquor. We tried to get street corn as an appetizer, which they were also out of. We got cheese and salsa with chips instead. The chips were hot and fresh, the salsa generous with the cilantro, and the cheese bold and warm. For entrees we had the Al Pastor Quesadilla and the Birra Ramen. The quesadilla was good, though the beans on the side were pretty bland. The ramen was a unique and very tasty option, and I was not able to finish such a generous portion. I think I'd leave the cheese out next time since it made some weird textures, but the flavor was great overall. Overall, there are some small things to improve (having menu items in stock, bland beans) and the prices were a bit high, but we had a great experience overall. I'm not often in the area, but I'll certainly eat here again if I am!

Met up with a friend to grab lunch today, and had another great experience. Surprisingly, especially for a Friday, we were the only people there for lunch another small party arrived toward the end of our meal. The hostess/waitress was very friendly and attentive, checking on us, keeping chips, salsa and drinks topped off. I got the lunch ACP, which was quick to come out, and a first for me, it was served with choice of corn or flour tortillas...I opted for flour. The food tasted great, and portion size was perfect, honestly, probably a little more than I should have eaten for lunch, but it will tide me over until dinner. Definitely worth checking out. This spot has an amazing bright and vibrant atmosphere, beautifully decorated with bright colors, a much different look inside then out. I'm sure I'll be back again soon, good food, great, and quick service!

The name Bandito Bodega is extremely accurate, as the store itself is a small and unassuming looking place, with a charmingly decorated interior and some indoor and outdoor seating. It was very convenient to order at the cash register as soon as you walk in, and the staff was very patient and efficient. I adored the unpretentiousness and individuality of the place. It did not need any flashiness or grandeur- just some good food and good vibes. Now the food: WOW I was blown away by the pork belly garlic fried rice. The pork belly was so incredibly fatty and perfectly crispy, the shrimp add-on was juicy and well seasoned, and the fried egg over a bed of DELICIOUS steamy garlicky fried rice was absolutely perfection. And they do NOT skimp on the portions. This heaping bowl was just $15, and it was generously topped with the pork belly. This will easily be a place I plan to frequent often, for the convenience, food, and charm.
