Very small, unique restaurant. The food took time to prepare, which means it's fresh and homemade! I always love Mexican restaurants with actual rice and beans (not from a can!) delicious Mexican food, would definitely return! read more

The Soup and Taco 2 - Tacos Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

A bit of a diner feel - also small and a little dark with a small bar. I wouldn't call it cozy at all. Margarita was just ok. Their food does taste like its homemade - I particularly liked their ground beef which had flavor and some kick, unlike other Mexican restaurants I've been to. Their chicken breast was good too. Service was attentive. Parking can be a challenge. read more

How does this place have 3.7 stars? Love the yucca, steak and shrimp tacos, they do a good mole, great papusas. Staple spot for years. Only thing I don't like are their mixed drinks. read more

Had dinner here tonight. The location is great and the restaurant has a quaint design and decor. Very well done inside, a truly relaxing dining experience. Had the beef empanada, birreia tacos, pumpkin flan, and tres leches. Exceptional food! By a very wide margin the best Latin American food I've experienced in the Fredericksburg area. Service was great and low pressure, which is very nice. Will return soon. read more

Amazingly fresh food produced from a small kitchen where according to our server "the secret ingredient is love". No doubt. Pineapple Fritters were AMAZING!! Ancho Chile Lemonade was delicious! Fajitas (chicken) were plentiful (5 tenders of grilled chicken) and came stop a pile of grilled peppers and onions. The shredded beef enchilada was wrapped with a homemade corn tortilla and accompanied by a few mouthfuls of rice and homemade refried beans. read more

The tortilla soup was thin. The tortilla strips were chewy. The chicken arepa was bland and the tortilla was chewy. Didn't like the salsa. The chips were cold. The parking difficult. The ambiance was dark and dingy. But the service was good and the food came out fast. read more

Very good. Had the fish tacos. Waitstaff were quick and very attentive. I would recommend.

The food was alright. Not bad, but nothing I would recommend. Sad thing is the employees looked like they wanted to be anywhere but here and even more so wished the people eating here were also anywhere but here. After sharing this on Facebook, the owner to GREAT offense to the idea someone wouldn't think their restaurant wasn't perfect, and responded with a rambling post saying everything from they were super busy (they had zero people eating outside and only half the tables were taken inside), to give them a break because they are family owned (because you should be unfriendly it you are familly owned?) And they just got back from vacation. It was really sad. read more

The Soup and Taco 2 has a welcoming ambiance. The food has always been tasty and the service excellent.

What a great place! Great atmosphere, great food, and great service! We were in a rush and the staff were very accommodating. Get the chorizo tacos, might be one of the best I've had! (Chips were fire too) read more

Best place in town to get pupusas!!! A simple and delicious place with great service.

I came for lunch yesterday to meet up with a friend. My server was very nice, as my friend was 30 minutes late. She kept my chips and salsa filled, unfortunately. I ate an entire basket whilst waiting! Their chips are thicker than most restaurants and I love that! The salsa was a little spicier than anticipated, but delicious nonetheless! It was restaurant week and as I waited for my friend I went over the entire menu and asked questions. I finally decided I was going to get the two grilled chicken tacos and carnitas tacos for the special. My friend arrives at 3:01 pm and a server came over and took my menu and replaced it with the dinner menu. I was informed that the computers switch to dinner at 3, and I could take the dinner menu. I literally sat there for thirty minutes and all the servers stood around (there was only one other table) this whole time, and no one thought to tell me "if you want to order from the lunch menu you need to do so before 3"?? It's like when you go to a bar at happy hour, they tell you that special is over at whatever time happy hour ends! Nope! I got just the carnitas tacos, which were still good my friend got the crab stuffed shrimp with lemon caper sauce and white rice. My tacos were spicy, so I did have to get sour cream to cool them down, but they were fabulous! I docked the one star just due to common courtesy I was not extended. Other than that, I will definitely come back! The employees were nice and patient, and food was amazing! read more

I ordered papusas for lunch. They were delicious and filling (although only an appetizer) and chips were endless. It was a nice quiet place to have lunch. Can't wait to go back and try more items! read more

Had a worst experience, I'm not sure if she was a server or manager. She is rude. She should not be in the business where she at now. She acted unprofessional, she wanted to fight with my 14 year old daughter because my daughter accidentally knocked over a glass of water while getting up from our table. This is insane, never been embarrassed and disrespectful in our entire life except last night because of your employee. read more

It was a bit quiet for a rainy Wed afternoon. But, the food and service were top notch. I'm not crazy about their cheese enchiladas anymore. I think they switched the cheese to mozzarella (?)... so I tried the blacked tuna tacos. Definitely a keeper, even though it was on their "Specials" menu. Will definitely keep it on my rotation for lunches. read more

And In Conclusion.... Stopped by here when driving through. Everything was great. Loved the Pineapple Fritter appetizer. My favorite is seafood enchiladas so their Chipotle Shrimp Enchilada entree did not disappoint. read more

Tacos are one of my favorite foods so when I saw the name soup and TACO, I knew I definitely had to go. I went a little after the dinner rush, but the parking lot was still full - I had to park on the street a little further down. However, when I walked in, it was not as busy as the parking lot made it out to be. They brought out fresh chips (still hot) and salsa which my date could not get enough of. Before deciding on food, I ordered a strawberry mojito which I thought was super good; it was sweet and had a strong strawberry flavor. Be warned, if you don't like sweet drinks, don't get this one. They had a special where you can get 2 tacos and a bowl of soup for around $8.50 so my choice was made. I got 2 carnitas tacos and a cup of sopa de tortilla (tortilla soup). The soup had bits of chicken, corn, cheese cubes, and avocado topped with tortilla strips. I thought it had really good balance and each spoonful had a different combination of flavors. I was bummed when all the tortilla strips ran out until I remembered there was a basket of tortilla chips on our table; pro tip: break them and add them to your soup if you want an extra crunch! We also got the yuca fries served with a jalapeno mayo. These were steaming hot and the perfect addition to our meal. I've had yuca fries before, but really enjoyed this dipping sauce with it. By the time our tacos came out, I was ready to dig in (and forgot to take a picture of them). My carnitas tacos came with cilantro, onions, avocado, and crunchy fried potatoes. I usually love onions, but the ones on these tacos were a little bit too overpowering; maybe it was because of the variety they used or because they were diced too largely. The fried potatoes made this taco really unique. They were little squares that added an extra crunch to the taco which I enjoyed a lot. The service was just alright; it was sometimes hard to track down our server, but we were always able to ask whoever walked by. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in FXBG. I get the shrimp tacos w/ a side of queso almost weekly. If the crab soup is on special...get it! Their salsa is so good- it's smoky with a little heat. So fresh and delicious. I like this location the best because there's outside seating and it's a bigger restaurant. Definitely give them a try! read more

The Soup and Taco 2 is pretty good and basically tastes the same as Soup and Taco on Caroline Street. It has a nice warm environment with a friendly staff. It is more spacious than Soup and Taco on Caroline St. However, the food taste the same and has the same good quality. We also had great customer service. As the one on Caroline, you are brought chips and salsa to the table to start. Both the chips and salsa were good. My only small complaint is that the chips do not have a natural tortilla chip taste, they taste slightly like the oil they are cooked in. The chips are thick and not thin and that's fine but they seem heavy as far as taste because of the oil. They aren't greasy but it's just this slight taste. You can still eat the chip just be aware. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Burrito and my husband ordered the Grilled Chicken Enchiladas. Both meals came with rice and beans. Both meals were good and the chicken was good on both meals. My burrito had sour cream, gauc, and lettuce on the inside besides the chicken so it gave it more flavor and wasn't dry. I also had queso and salsa on top as well. My husband's Enchiladas were good but there was nothing on the inside besides chicken. It had a sauce on top but in my opinion the over all enchilada tasted dry like it was missing something. Taste wise the food is pretty good besides the pointers I listed above and seasoned well. The rice and beans are good just like they are at the one on Caroline. Overall, Soup and Taco 2 is good and has a friendly staff. If the one on Caroline is crowded definitely don't be afraid to try the one on Williams. It's the same good quality and taste with a great staff. read more

We love their grilled veggie tacos & their mango gazpacho is so good! Great customer service & also willing to make some items vegan for my husband. read more

Split a chile relleno and tortilla soup with my mom. The soup was very good, relleno had to have meat in it according to our servers which is atypical of the real thing so we ordered the carnitas version which was pretty good. The salsa was very good -had a distinctive toasted flavor. Margies were just ok. First ones (805 something) were creatively made but overly sweet. Cadillac margies had too much mixer. We had 4 other family members with us so a big group ordering a lot of food and drink from this place. Ok now here is why I gave this place only 2 stars........the SERVICE!! There were two Mexican women serving our table. Sullen as could be! They acted like they were doing us a favor to do their damn job. So pouty. Had to ask to get the salsa refilled each time and they acted like it was a huge bother each time. We were a pleasant and cheerful group in spite of this. My east coast family goes here all the time but my husband and I who were visiting have to wonder why?? Never again for us! read more

I have never been more disrespected as a guest at a restaurant ever. I love this restaurant, we go all the time. So I will admit guilt, I vaped at the table outdoors, but never blew near anyone especially near the guests or the baby at the table next to us, because I understand since we have kids too. But your server took it to a new level. I apologized to everyone outside at the table. but that wasn't enough for her. She continued to berate me and my wife and kids, it was beyond rude and embarrassing. She made my wife cry, then as we were leaving my daughter hit the table by accident while getting up and the water spilled because we were in such disbelief of what was happening and she wanted to fight my 14 year old daughter. The rest of the staff is great, but this server was beyond unhinged, she also could have been either drunk or high. Completely unacceptable. I'm literally at a loss for words for what happened this evening. read more

We had the yucca fries (served very hot!) steak burrito and taco salad. We both were stuffed with leftovers to take home. The service was very very fast, and the food was delicious!

Great food with "amazing flavors". The four of us enjoyed the drinks on Cinco de Mayo. The joint was really busy but the staff worked really hard to keep up with the crowd. We will definitely be back!! read more

Very enjoyable experience. Good food and friendly staff. We will definitely be back. Right now it appears they're busy with take out orders and not so much dine-in. We felt a bit rushed but also the staff were hustling which we can appreciate. I think this place would have a line out the door if they improved the indoor ambiance a bit, but either way well worth the visit. read more

Not so good,but I guess if you're not used to good Mexican food you would probably think it was good. Me I really know my Mexican food and then after eating my daughter and I were talking and we are like this is not Mexican food so,we politely asked the server,ma'am is this Mexican food and she replied well we are Salvadoran so I'm like I knew something wasn't right. So needless to say I probably will not be going back here. Oh,the pinto beans were really cooked well but I asked for refried beans and these were whole. It was nice that they did bring out a slice of cake with whipped cream and a candle for my husband,it was his birthday today. I was just thinking the tortillas were like they just took them out of a pack not even heated and threw the tacos together,who doesn't heat a tortilla before making a taco. The steak taco I ordered had no seasoning, I don't think it even had salt and pepper, and it was cut in cubes which is good but they must've cooked it that way which made it so tough. My opinion if you're going to make steak tacos cook the steak whole then chop it,it comes out much more tender and please heat them tortillas. Asked for a hotter sauce and they replied that's the only one we have besides a green sauce. So if you eat there make sure you ask for heated tortillas read more

It was just okay. I had two taco special, chorizo (hot) meat was a little dry and cauliflower taco was very good. However I didn't like the addition of the pineapple. Beans and rice were tasty. Overall it was just ok. I would like to try a different option if I go back again. I also wasn't a fan of their chips and salsa. read more

Underwhelming and blah. I had really high hopes for this place because I had heard from other people that it was good but that was definitely not the case. This location is on a fairly busy street near the college, so parking can be difficult. The restaurant itself is colorful with the typical "Mexican decor", papel picado, piñatas, etc. My bf & I were greeted and seated immediately, although our waiter seemed like he wanted to be anywhere but there. We ordered 2 orders of beef empanadas to start. The empanadas are relatively expensive for only 2. The beef filling reminded me of the meat from Taco Bell. Not impressed at all. For the main meal, I ordered carnitas tacos and my bf ordered a steak burrito with beans and rice. My carnitas tacos came out with a decent amount of meat, but also an overwhelming amount of cilantro. I asked the waiter for some limes for the tacos and he brought me 2 tiny wedges, definitely not enough to make up for the lack of flavor in the tacos. The meat was very moist, but had zero flavor. My bf enjoyed his burrito but didn't like the beans and rice. The rice was bland, with no flavor at all. All in all, definitely not what I was expecting. I was hoping for much more. Will definitely not return. read more

The wonderful team here accommodated our party of 12+ following a graduation at Quantico. Overall, they made a great effort to serve us. The outdoor seating was nice. On to the food. The soup of the day, in this case Cream of Crab, was delicious, fresh, and obviously home made. Those that chose it could stop raving about it. I had the shrimp avocado salad as an entre', and enjoyed the flavors, The shrimp was in a cornmeal coating, over an avocado, greens, and sprinkled with tomato, corn, and onion. The dressing was suitably spicy, with a bit of cayenne and cumin, I believe. The iced tea I had was brewed, I would guess. The steak fajita was the most impressive I've seen, with large strips of a quality steak. Hammered by my brother big-time. The chimichanga was reportedly a bit spicy, with jalapeno pieces. My granddaughter loved her quesadilla. The chips and salsa were very fresh. The chips had a nice corn flavor. The pico/salsa was just spicy enough. Stole some guacamole from others and found it well balanced and tasty. Overall, we would stop here again. read more
