I have been here a few times for various things. It's in a strip mall so parking is available although busy at times. The staff is friendly and welcoming even when they are busy. I always do to go orders. I get the chicken and rice lunch special with cheese sauce. I love their horchata. I sometimes just go there for that. I have also had their dessert before. The food is good. When it warms up I will go and sit down and eat instead of to go orders. read more

Taxco Mexican Grill - Chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - Belmont, North Carolina

UPDATE: Well, eating here made the next night/Thanksgiving one to remember as I was up all night with food poisoning and missed the entire Thanksgiving day lying in bed miserable. The food I had here was the only food I ate that nobody else did in the prior 48 hour period. And at the time we ate, I distinctively commented that the chicken quesadilla didn't taste right (no, I didn't finish it). read more

Taxco Mexican Grill in Belmont is the real deal for authentic Mexican food! It's no wonder this spot is so popular--the comida is auténtica, and the atmosphere is super welcoming. The staff is incredibly friendly, and a special shoutout goes to Mo', who made our experience even better with his excelente service. We tried a few dishes, and everything was fresh and delicioso. From the tacos to the carne asada, every bite felt like a little fiesta. And, of course, we had to pair it all with some tequila Casa Amigo--it was smooth and perfect for the vibe. If you're looking for great comida Mexicana and a friendly ambiente, this is the place to be. ¡Muy recomendable! read more

Great food great place for dinner and lunch, also great service they are very nice, the place really is like Taxco.

The food wasn't great and just didn't feel like a enjoyable place to eat.Could improve their meals or food choice.And their atmosphere!

Their spinach and cheese dip is always so good with the chips. We really like their vegetarian burritos and the salad with tomatoes and cheese is always fresh. The service is really good and the food is cooked good and quick. It's a nice sit down place if you want to just relax for a bit. read more

Was excited to eat at a (what seem to be) nice Mexican restaurant with a fluctuation of people coming in through the door plus the 20 minute wait time. HOWEVER, this place SUCKS. I ordered a pina colada and when I asked the waitress what comes in it she tells me just rum and pina colada mix. When it comes out it is filled to the rim with grenadine WHICH IS SO GROSS TO ME and I was not made aware of. When our food came my enchilada was cold with the cheese not even melted. This place SUCKS. Do no recommend. BUT the atmosphere is very nice and the people are too. read more

Classic Mexican food or at least what Americans expect. The burrito had a nice mix of steak and veggies. The veggies still had some crunch which was nice. The steak was flavorful but not in abundance. The beans were the surprise. I'm usually not a fan but these had tons of flavor and I would bet money it's from good lard. The service was attentive even as they started to get busy. The tables are nicely spaced. I hate when it feels like you are sitting so close to others you can't hold a conversation. Big interior and great for groups. read more

Taxco Mexican Grill - Burrito Grande - Steak - Mexican Near Me - Belmont, North Carolina

I ordered the grande burrito to go. I had never been there before. I asked for an extra salsa for my burrito and was not told it would be $2 extra. I never in my life have been charged for extra salsa at a Mexican restaurant ! I got home and my burrito was good but my refried beans and rice were cold. It was disappointing and I will stick with my normal Los Arcos. read more

I've eaten here a few times and the food and service were excellent. The staff is very attentive to all needs.

Ordered a carnitas enchilada over the phone. The guy was taking someone else's order in person while trying to take mine. He messed up, and what I got was clearly not an carnitas enchilada but their "carnitas" meal which was just two thin sliced and overcooked pork chops, a container of lettuce and three flour tortillas. Thin sliced pork chops are not carnitas no matter how you season them. What a terrible thing to have wasted my money on. I thought this place was pretty decent before, not great not but bad. But when people order carnitas enchiladas and you give them two tiny thin sliced pork chops and a small amount of lettuce, that's not carnitas and it's not even a whole meal. read more

Always a good experience, clean, friendly and fast service, food is consistently very good, regardless of what you order.

delicious local hidden gem in clt. they got great lunch deals. got the chk jr burrito and it was fire

On the bottom end of Mexican Restaurants IMHO. Little to no seasoning. Bland tasting poor quality ingredients. Salsas are thin and weak. Would have to improve significantly to become mediocre. read more

Very fast service, and though I'm not a Mexican food lover, my order was quite good. My wife and grandson liked their meals too.

It started out pretty good but definitely gone downhill. The naked burrito is VERY good, but I like a good margarita and Taxco disappoints every time. There is VERY little tequila and mostly just sweet mixer with a ton of foam on top, which is gross. The last time I went there, I had to remove the ton of foam on top. They need to improve their margaritas. The salsa is also subpar. read more

First off, admittedly, the food was pretty good; the ambiance was nice and the restaurant and Men's restroom were very clean, but the service was horrible! The incident occurred today (01/02/2025), and while I did not get the server's name, she was very dismissive, only because my Spanish was not up-to-par (by HER standards). Here is what happened: My order was incorrect, since "I incorrectly ordered the Milanesa plate, instead of the Milanesa sandwich", even though I was clearly pointing to the sandwich on the menu, instead of the plate... (which she was quick to tell me that I would have to pay extra), I was okay with that... But, what REALLY got me was the $5 up-charge for "grilled onions" and "two jalapeños" which were minuscule; mind-you, the sandwich was supposedly "fixed" and STILL contained raw onions!! The server tried to make it an issue about money, but I was just saying that it was dishonest to not be told up-front about those extra charges, especially for what I was given... I always tip, but this was one of the few instances when I was tempted not to tip; instead, I left a tip for the other hard-working busboys (Busmen..? ‍) that were ACTUALLY doing their job well, since she took a condescending tone with me, and the rest of the staff does not deserve the negativity, since under different circumstances, my dining experience would have been much better. Overall it would have been a solid 4-star review, but due to how I was treated today, I have to bring down the score to a 2-star. read more

(｡‿｡) amazing restaurant best customer service in Gaston county DELICIOUS food nicest people I just love it pure beauty

Perfect every time! Best customer service and Mexican food in Gaston County! Family atmosphere.

We have been coming to Taxco for years and we enjoy their food and the service is usually pretty good. I recently discovered they have tamales so I am even more delighted! read more

Burrito was wet, wouldn't stick together. Would have been better off grabbing meat and making it at home. Not going back.

This spot has gone down hill since our last time here. Burnt chicken fajitas and a really tiny lunch quesadilla were disappointing. Good service, but poor mgt skills bringing out a second try serving of the same dry overcooked chicken. read more

So we went and had dinner here tonight, and the atmosphere itself was pretty laid-back and chill. It was more of a sit down and chill type of environment. The service was OK, the waiter couldn't remember what we ordered and had to come back, the drinks were brought one drink, because the waiter couldn't remember what the second drink wise. But most of them couldn't speak English when I tried to have a conversation about my order. But the big thing was the food wasn't terrible, but the food was completely full of grease, it was more like eating Street vegetable oil cooked and dumped on your plate It was to the point that my son didn't even want to eat his food at all, and then you have to watch your bill because I was being charged an additional four dollars for some thing that was supposed to be included in the meal I did adjust the bill and fix it, but it was definitely not a huge, pleasant experience, food, wise. read more

Taxco Mexican Grill - The plate was completely full of grease - Mexican Near Me - Belmont, North Carolina

Great Mexican grill. This place is tucked away in a shopping center but had a surprising amount of seating inside. Fast and friendly service that like to make it personal. They make it feel like you are a guest in their home. The menu was very good with tons of traditional and Tex-Mex options to pick from. The start you out with chips and salsa that has a variety of heat levels to choose from(the hot was no joke) The food was very reasonably prices for what it was and had large portions and a great drink selection(see giant martinis) the specials menu was perfect. The drinks and food came out fast after ordering and the beef milaness was everything you could ask for. Was well worth the stop for lunch and will definitely go back. read more

It's every bit of 5 stars for what it is- a fresh, fast, inexpensive Mexican joint. Nothing fancy, but hits its mark. Huge margarita for $7 AND it was actually tasty. Lunch fajitas were delicious as well. Got nothing negative to say about this one and I'll be back if I find myself in the Belmont area again. read more

Top-shelf Margherita is packed to the rim of the glass with ice! A good way for the Grill to make $$ since ice is cheaper! Chips are thin and salsa is tomato juice! Worst Mexican meal ever! read more

Service service service! I ordered super nachos and could swear I said beef but when she brought it out and I saw chicken I said oh I ordered beef and she said that's the way it comes and stormed off. Then when I was done rating and all the shredded chicken was on the side of the plate she said is everything okay and I said no and what I ordered and proceeded to get mouthy and said you ordered super nachos and never said beef and wanted to argue. I had a rough day and not in the mood to argue so I left before I got ugly. If she did not realize when I said I ordered beef when she brought it out then I cannot help you regardless of whether I said beef when I ordered even. Several times she could have made it right but instead wanted to stand there and argue so I was done. Why are you trying to make something right when I am done eating and you could have made it right when you brought the food out. We always get Mo is a fantastic server but this young lady tonight was horrible and argumentative. This young lady tonight wanted to argue and had an attitude and I am tired of that bull. So I will never be back. read more

Street tacos were good. Green salsa has a nice kick to it and was enjoyable. Good service.

Listen Taxco is under-rated and ALWAYS the bomb. Consistent with every dish they cook and serve. They listen to their customers and the service is great as well. We have been in the Belmont area now for 2 years now; and although we frequent other places (as we are foodies) haha. We always think of taxco when craving mexican food. SO give em a try, you won't be disappointed read more

Had the Gordo burrito and it is pretty good. I've had their tacos also. Their refried beans aren't the best.

A solid four stars for this place! I would give it five but nothing is perfect in this world LOL. Some of the best Al Pastore tacos I've ever had! Totally worth checking out! One of my new favorite places to go to! read more

I'm a small business owner and always try to support other small businesses. We teach a 4-day class here in Belmont, so each day is at a different restaurant. I've been eating at this location for years and never had an issue, so I decided to add it to our class. Today was the 3rd time we got food from here for the class. It usually has 8-10 different meals. To make it easy, when I call in the order, I always ask if they can write the name on it. The other 3 restaurants never have an issue with this. The first time I ordered from Taxco, they wrote the name like I asked, and everything was good. The second time, I called the order in like I normally would and asked for them to put the names on the box. The guy that answered the phone said, Yes, he can do that. When I went to pick up the food, nothing was written on the box, so I had to go through each box and open it up and see what belonged with what and to whom. When I asked the guy I picked up the food from, he said that he wrote down the names, but the kitchen must have forgotten them. I let it go. Today, I called in to order the phone, and I told Kevin what happened, and he said that they can't write the names on the boxes because everyone should know what they order, but he will do it for me this time, which is the last time. I told him that it's not sanitary to open 8 different meals and try to figure out what is what, especially when it's a burrito or a taco. He just kept on saying that everyone should know what they order and that they can't write the names on the boxes going forward. I was very disappointed. I asked to speak with the manager when I went to pick up the food, but he was the manager, so I just left. I will not be coming here anymore, and I will remove this restaurant from our class menu. read more

Average but my daughter loves it and especially the giant Margaritas. Hey, maybe the Margaritas make it better

Good food and service -- but nothing necessarily makes this different than all the other run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurants. Our food came fast but wasn't quite right. They also tried to throw away our leftovers before we got a box. That's a no-no for me. We'd go back. But this was nothing to write home about, as the saying goes. read more

Worst experience I've ever had. I paid $15 for a chicken plate and got 1oz of old dry chicken. We also had the rudest waitress, she gave attitude when we asked for tea refills, or asked her to do her job. When I spoke to the manager she argued with me, that she couldn't do anything about the food. So literally no one was any help at all, they just defended the unacceptable food, service. If you want rude, slow, and inedible food, this place is for you. read more

We finally checked out the local Mexican restaurant near us! This is pretty much your run of the mill Mexican restaurant, which is exactly what we were looking for. Their menu is extensive with all your favorite dishes- tacos, poblanos, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc. They also have great prices on margaritas and draft beer! Our waitress was sweet and attentive. We were served complimentary chips and salsa right when we sat down. We also ordered cheese dip, which was your standard delicious white queso with chips. For our entrees, I ordered the taco salad with shredded chicken and the fiancé ordered enchiladas suizas. His plate was huge, served with rice and beans. My taco salad was yummy, topped with guac, sour cream, and tomatoes. Don't expect anything fancy from Taxco, but it is a great place to get fast, easy Mexican food. They could definitely spruce the inside up a little bit. But overall, our bill was super inexpensive, and we left extremely full. I'm sure we will be back! read more
