Ordered an assortment of tacos/gordita including barbacoa, lengua, tripas, pastor as well as a queso beef dip and Jamaica as a beverage. Was pleasantly surprised to get some free chips and dip which was decent. Some of the chips were undersalted or a bit grainy/sandy tasting but the salsa was decent. Tacos Barbacoa (4.5/5): Their best taco for sure. Very tender pieces of shredded meat, not too fatty but still very flavorful. Reminiscent of the cabeza taco at la jaliciense. Tacos Lengua (4/5): Good amount of lengua pieces that are also pretty tender and tasty. All their tacos are salty enough, and I liked how the lengua pieces were cubed into smaller pieces than other spots. Beef queso dip (4/5): Rich queso with ground beef mixed within, a decent appetizer for sure and would recommend ordering this. Tacos Tripas (2.5/5): I asked before ordering if they would be pretty crispy as this is how I enjoyed Tripas in Mexico city, San Antonio, etc. and they confirmed it would be. When I received it, very few pieces were crispy and many of them were oily/soggy. Some tasted slightly burnt. Although the portion of meat was very generous, I felt the quality could have been higher. Gordita Pastor (3/5): The tacos pastor also had decent portions and was well seasoned, but the issue was that it lacked tenderness and was pretty firm. The jamaica was a bit too sweet. They provide beans if you order 3 tacos but will increase the costs to accommodate this, I would request no beans and just order the tacos a la carte in the future. Overall, it is still an authentic Mexican spot in North Augusta and pricing is fair, but I prefer La Jaliciense by a fair margin for the variety and quality of meat within the tacos.

The menu is handwritten on poster boards with English descriptions to help non-Spanish speaking people like me. You place your order and then have a seat at one of the tables to wait for them to bring it out to you. I tried the Angel Rice which is made with steak, chicken, shrimp and assorted vegetables mixed with a cheese sauce. It was a huge portion and absolutely delicious. A also added a taco on the side just to try one, and it was also quite tasty. Washed it all down with a cold bottle of Mexican Coke. I had been wanting to try this place and am so glad I finally had a chance to do so. If you haven't tried it yourself, do yourself a favor and check it out! You won't regret it.

Very solid Taco spot possibly the best this side of the river. Stopped here the other day when some…read morecolleagues compared it to La Jaliciense which is my favorite mexican spot. I ordered an assortment of tacos and the elote (spicy). Carnita (4/5): Like most carnitas in the states, the carnita taco here is made with what tastes like a leaner meat, likely pork shoulder. Although lean and shredded, it retained a good amount of moisture and juiciness almost like it was brined for a long period of time. It was one of the better carnitas I've had and would order again, well filled. Chorizo (4/5): All of their tacos have a good amount of meat inside of them. The chorizo was well seasoned with a slight kick, just a touch salty. The pork had a nice charred flavor and was great with lime. Quesabirria (5/5): If la jaliciense has their cabeza taco being their best bite in my opinion, Taqueria Las Ruthis has the quesabirria. It has a generous portion of shreded beef that is very tender, well seasoned, and like the carnitas is super juicy even without being dipped in the consomé. There is a ton of cheese that like its tortilla is lightly charred for a nice texture. The consomé is warm and this is the perfect taco to order as it gets colder in Augusta. Asada (3.5/5): The carne asada taco was not as impressive as the others I had tried mostly due to taste and texture. It was not very tender at all and did not taste smoky or grilled compared to asada that I have had at other food trucks/Mexican spots. I enjoyed the grilled onions it comes with and again decent portions of meat within. Spicy Elote (3.5/5): Was a nice find to have elote again with the last time I had it being in San Antonio and Laredo, Texas. When I think of the great elote I have had in the past, I think of very heavy butter and crumbly cheese with sometimes having a cream or mayo within. This one had a decent portion of cheese but much less butter or cream/mayo than others. The spicy powder (tajin) was a bit excessive and I would order regular or hot cheeto in the future. Prices are fair at around $3.25-4 per taco and the service is fast. It comes with a green and red salsa that are both great and a few wedges of lime. I will definitely return to this spot when I want a changeup from La Jaliciense.
