Mexico.. a place I have loved to visit in the past and look forward to visiting again in the future. I know you will find this hard to believe, but when I was in my early twenties back in the '70s. I was visiting some friends in California and decided to drive down to Mexico on my own with my rental car. Those days it was pretty easy to get through the border and I drove all the way down to Ensenada, Mexico. The drive was spectacular and the scenery was gorgeous. Being a typical college student I decided to save some money on a hotel and slept in my car on the beach. I rolled down the windows, crawled in the back seat and fell asleep to the gorgeous sound of the waves and the cool summer night breeze. Can you imagine doing that today? Haha. Who in their right mind would sleep anywhere other than in their driveway in their backseat with the windows wide open and the doors unlocked in 2021? But, back in the 70s I had a beautiful night's sleep, woke up the next morning, took a dip in the ocean and had a fabulous local breakfast for a couple of dollars Having interacted with the Mexican/Latino Community here in Greensboro, growing up in New York and during my many trips to Mexico, I have come to the definite conclusion that if there are any "stereotypes" I can attribute to the Latino community, it is that they are gentle, warm, kind, very family oriented, incredibly hard-working and have delicious cuisine. It is their delicious cuisine that tempted me to try Taqueria Latinos, and boy am I glad I did! Nestled in a small shopping center on Bessemer avenue, you will definitely miss this place unless you are looking for it. It is set back from the street with a small modest sign. The parking lot is huge so parking is easy and it is just a couple of minutes from my house. Talk about the real deal! I don't think I have ever gone in there and seen anybody other than local Mexican families dining. Not only is it mostly frequented by the Mexican community, but most of the people that come are working class people which says a lot for their menu and prices. When I step inside there I literally feel like I am in Mexico. Everybody is speaking Spanish, the menu specials on the blackboard are in Spanish and I am greeted in Spanish. Why didn't I take Spanish instead of French in high school? LOL The restaurant is small but charming, clean and inviting. I was happy to see yesterday when I went to get my dinner that they added a couple of outside tables which is great to know for the future I tend to gravitate towards fajitas whenever I go out for Mexican, but I decided to try last night their whole tilapia dinner. Yum yum yum!!!. It came with a whole fish, a large portion of salad that included multiple vegetables as well as avocado and a heaping portion of rice and many homemade tortillas. It was absolutely delicious and fresh. If there is any complaint I have about this place it is that they charge you extra for tortilla chips when you do take out. I wish they included that with a full dinner like most places do. There's nothing like a batch of warm tortilla chips with salsa if you ask me! They gave me both a mild and a hot. I devoured the mild and saved the hot for my kids! Their prices are fair and portions are hearty. You can always find a table. They have specials every time I go there and next time I may try one of them. I came back to the house, got in my pajamas and robe and sat down for my Mexican feast. By the time I was done there was nothing left but fish bones, a paper bag and a take out plate. I got into bed with a full belly and fell blissfully asleep playing the sound of the waves of the Pacific Ocean on YouTube. I was suddenly transported back to Ensenada, it is 1973 and life feels simple and safe. That's what a meal at Taqueria Latinos did for me. Check them out and see what it does for you! Buen apetito!! read more

The only good thing is their salsa. Had their lunch steak fajita. I think 1/3 of the meat was not chewable. I told the waitress and while she said sorry she didn't care and had heard that complaint before. The drinks are cans of Coke and refills are extra. I walked out spending over $18 and not sure for what If you can avoid this joint do so. It is so not worth it. read more

my friend and I ended up at this place because the taco truck in boost mobile was closed. (I forgot it was Sunday.) walked in, there was a dirty water type smell. a lot of places on Bessemer have that smell so i ignored that. ordered food, she told us there would be a 15 min wait. I went in 10 mins later because I wanted a cup of Elote. my friend went in to get the food 10 mins after that and she said the elote would take more mins. we were kinda confused, but ok. 10mins go by he goes in and is in there for 5mins, I go in and we're still waiting. After another 5. I just asked for the money back. Didn't realize a cup of elote took so long. read more

Me and my boyfriend went fried it was delicious we ordered 8 tacos total with 2 drinks for $30 but we did get refills on on chips and salsa so delicious the Agua de horchata was good it was bussing I would go again and I live in Raleigh it was totally worth the drive it did smell funky tho but ya it chill vibe read more

First off, it smelled fishy in there, in a bad way. The pictures fooled me into thinking this would be a great place to eat. As soon as I was looking at the menu, I thought about getting up to leave. The prices were higher than I expected. The choices were not great. 8 different types of tacos but no Al Pastor. The atmosphere was weird because they are playing Deadpool on a TV and it had all the sex and violence unedited. Who plays a R rated movie during lunch? Service was okay, but I have to give 1 star for the smell. I can tolerate fish smell to a point. Tacos de carne asada came out to be $11.74 before tip. You can get better, cheaper, and in a place that smells better in town. read more

Well, as usual, Michael P. was right, this little place has some pretty good food to offer. We hadn't eaten here in several years (guess it was the same ownership then), but did remember that the food was pretty darn good then. This is a small place, but clean and well lit, and the service is very good, though language can be a bit of a problem. The menu is very broad, with all the usual items, from nachos, to street style tacos, to stews, to fajitas, to rotisserie chicken, to the always exciting, Molcajetes and Parrilladas - and they even have the normal lunch specials, and the "Speedy Gonzalez" is listed, of course. We chose 4 tacos (Carne Asada, Chorizo, Carnitas, and Fish - about $6.75), and the Roaster Chicken Lunch ($6.59) served with rice, beans, tortillas, and nopales a la mexicana (which I thought was cactus leaves in salad form, but I must be wrong, as there were none), and a Chile Relleno ($2.95). Everything was very good to excellent, except for the Chile Relleno, which was simply awful - tasted bland and I'm pretty sure it was not made fresh today. The tacos were are nice, with the chorizo and carnitas being particularly nice. I would have liked either of the typical sauces, red or green, but I couldn't make myself understood - either would have take the already good tacos to another level, and there is no commercial hot sauce on the table. The rotisserie chicken was excellent, well cooked, falling off the bone tender, and nicely spiced - the lunch portion is 3 pieces, though the only piece I recognized was a leg. The rice and beans were nice, and the salad mixture, with a little sour cream and guacamole, was also very good with the chicken. We'll be back to try more items, and soon. read more

I'm rarely in this area, but just happen to be around Bessemer Avenue at lunch time on Friday, and was in the mood to try a new place. I saw that Fred B. and Michael P. recommended this little Taqueria near where I was, so I decided to give it a try... and boy am I glad I did. Taqueria Latinos is a small place, but has a surprising amount of dining space and is clean. The employees are friendly, and while I'm sure the language barrier can be a problem at times, my wife and I did not have a problem on our visit. She ordered a pair of beef chimichangas, and I had the roasted chicken lunch special. Chips and salsa were served to open the meal, and I particularly liked how zesty the salsa was. The chips had good flavor and some visual character to them, but ultimately weren't better or worse than others I've had. As you can see from my pictures, the roast chicken looks delicious, and I'm happy to report that it is as good as it appears. Tender, flavorful, juicy. Came with fresh corn tortillas, beans, rice, guac, sour cream, pico, and lettuce. Bueno! Her chimichangas were very tasty and came with A LOT of cheese sauce poured over the top. Which is never a bad thing. We mopped up with some chips and salsa and all was well. For lunch, even though my wife's entree was actually a dinner, the tab came out to only $15. A fantastic deal on some very authentic mexican cuisine. We will be back soon! read more

Now the restaurant maybe small, but I assure you that this restaurant is really damn good. I've use to come here a lot as a kid, but now as an adult it hasn't changed. read more

This place is located in an "L" shaped strip mall type deal where the old Monroes Drive-in once stood. Most of the stores in here cater to the Hispanic community. Beside the restaurant is a Mexican bakery, I believe the two are associated, but have seperate entrances. The restaurant has maybe 4 booths along each side wall & maybe 5 or 6 tables in the middle. You can see everything that's going on in the kitchen as there is only a counter with plexiglass seperating from the dining area. I was always afraid to go in here because I knew you may have a hard time if you didn't speak Spanish & my Spanish is not the greatest to say the least. My first visit I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door by a nice lady, in Spanish. After a couple of exchanges in Spanish she started saying things that I had no clue what she was saying so I told her that my Espanol was no bueno, she kinda laughed & said "for here or to go?" in English, I was relieved. This is one of those places where the Mexican folks go for real Mexican food. The food I've had here has been outstanding, I ordered tacos the first time I was here, as I waited on my order I could see a rotisserie in the kitchen loaded with whole chickens going round & round, the chicken looked & smelled amazing, I knew I would return for that. The tacos are awesome, homemade corn tortillas with your meat choice with fresh cilantro & onion. The carnitas are great, tender chunks of roasted pork then cooked on the grill to give them a nice outside crust, I swear there had to be a 1/2lb of pork in the 2 carnitas tacos I had the other day, the chicken tacos were great as well. Then of course I had to return a few days later to get in on some of that rotisserie chicken action, and it was ridiculously good, I could have eaten a whole bird it was so good. They offer a rotisserie chicken lunch special, which is what I went with. It has 3 pieces of chicken served with rice, beans & homemade tortillas along with lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole & sour cream, I would go here everyday for this if I could. They have a pretty extensive menu with many authentic Mexican food options, a good number of seafood options, some with octopus. They run daily lunch specials which are written on a small chalk board on the wall on the right as you walk in. Super nice people here cooking up some awesome authentic Mexican food. Deifinitely gonna be regular stop for me when I'm on this side of town. read more

We were looking for a good local Mexican restaurant and this place got great reviews. When we walked in we were the only people in the place. It took 5 minutes to get our drinks. Another 5 minute to get our chip and salsa. Then we she finally took our food order my empty glass of water was at the edge of the table and I had to ask for more. The reason that it got 2 stars is because the food was excellent! Best I've had in a long time. The service however was the worst. Once we got our food the waitress never came back to the table despite the fact there were no other customers. If you want to try this place get it to go. read more

I ordered the combo of three items. I chose a steak burrito, a chicken tamale, and a steak taco along with receiving a side of rice. I was completely turned off when I tasted the food. My steak resembled and had the texture of a pebble, the rice was hard, and my tamale was just blah. Long story short, I won't be back. read more

This the most nastiest Hispanic food I've ever had!!!! Rice taste old didn't have any taste and hard shell tacos was not even hard shell NEVER GOING BACK . I should of known it was nasty when you see employees lounging around and nobody in the inside read more

I fell in love with this restaurant about two years ago. My friend's and I happened to stumble upon this hidden gem one day and loved it. The food is fresh and has a more authentic taste than most mexican food places around Greensboro. read more

Super clean place inside and out even though it's in a sketchy area of Greensboro. Super nice people and fast service. Delicious authentic Mexican. I got the 4 taco dish. 2 chourico (which I fell in love with in Cancun) and 2 barbacoa( beef barbecue). I ordered cheese dip and pico de gallo on the side because I like to put both on my tacos. Ordered to go and it came with chips and salsa plus the tacos were garnished on the side with a charred jalapeño, lime slices, some other pepper, a container of diced onions, and sliced radishes (not sure why?) but the best part was a whole little container of fresh chopped cilantro. The flour tortillas are homemade and yummy. They are different from what I'm used to and have a bite to them like al dente pasta but they were really good. Everything was delicious and fresh. Really enjoyable and authentic. Only complaints; the cheese dip was really thin so it's a mess to try to get to your mouth on a chip. And the barbacoa meat was a bit dry. I'll definitely eat here again though. read more
