Anytime Victor's is mentioned, my friends and I immediately, in unison say "mmm, Victor's" Everything on the menu is worth trying, though my personal favorites include their Five rolled tacos and their Carne Asada Burrito "chimi" style. They don't have a wait staff like a traditional sit down place. You place your order at the counter and they'll call you up when it's ready. The employees are always nice and they keep the place pretty clean! read more

"I absolutely love this place! Finding authentic Mexican food that reminds me of home in Nevada has been a challenge since moving to Tennessee, but Victor's is by far the best I've had. It was such a relief to find a spot that feels like the food back West. The service is incredibly friendly and fast, and the whole shop is very clean. It's located right near the college, so it has a great, lively energy with a lot of students around. My kids loved every bit of it--they even have a cute little video arcade game to play while you wait for your food! You can't beat the prices for such high-quality, cheap plates. The Carne Asada Fries are easily the best I've ever had. We will definitely be back!" read more

Don't be led astray from the fake comments, they pay for these reviews. The girl upfront was incredibly rude and the tacos and burrito was essentially only tortilla and nothing else. This place is honestly one of the worst Mexican places I've been to. And it was the worst restaurant ambience I've ever experienced. They didn't even give us salsas and the food was so skimpy and expensive. It was basically all tortilla and two things of meat. read more

Food wasnt bad, however my chicken didn't have a single drop of seasoning on it, and for $10 me and my friend's burrito's were TINY. When chipotle offers you a better dollar proposition than a small local taco shop that says something. read more

I see why the place is normally empty. There's definitely better Mexican places that #1 are cheaper and you get better quality food #2 actually cook their food all the way. Also Is the girl with holes in her face that works the counter good? Her attitude is off putting and she doesn't know how to properly do her job .. why are u working in the service industry if ur gonna huff and puff like a hippo when u have to ... do ur job that u clocked in for read more

Stopped at Victors based on an add they had posted in their window. Once inside I tried to order the special and was told it didn't include the (4) Al Pastor tacos as advertised. I still ordered the special and when it arrived, the tacos were street tacos (small) but had next to no meat, just lots of onions and cilantro some kind of mix they make. In addition, the lime wedges were cut so thin, they are useless to squeeze any kind of juice that it may have had. No salsa or hot sauce was provided either. Walked out still hungry. read more

The best tacos in Tennessee! Fast, friendly service. Freshly made with fresh ingredients. Quiet during off-peak hours but packed full of the local university students during mealtime. We travel 45 minutes to enjoy this well-kept secret. Everything we had was worth the drive. Our new local taco shop! read more

Open on Sunday. So thumbs up. I ordered 3 mulitas, chorizo, pastor, and tripas. It was all good, the pastor could use a little more marinating and some pineapple but I'll definitely go back and try some other items. The salsa was not bad either, in comparison to other establishments that tried to serve me "salsa". read more

My wife comes here often and loves the food here. I got to try it for the first time a few months ago and I am now a fan as well. The carne asada tacos were absolutely delicious and the queso and chips were very tasty as well. Their mild tomatillo salsa was very tasty and I would take that home if I could. The staff are also very kind and the food is very affordable, which is great. This is a little gem in Cookeville and I would stop in any time I'm in the area! read more

Victor's Taco Shop in Cookville is a real find. I've been looking for a place to get a chorizo breakfast burrito, specifically chorizo, egg, cheese and potato. They did not disappoint. Although we moved here from the West end I've been here for six months and I've driven by this place It's somehow had stayed hidden from us. But Friday I finally walked in its door and it's a hit on all points. First off cleanliness. This place was spotless very well cleaned and maintained. Specials posted and menu board easy to read. Very reasonable prices. Tables well spaced for the current conditions. We received a very friendly greeting. That feeling of caring continued throughout our meal. And the food definitely did not disappoint. I got my breakfast burrito my wife got her taco salad plus we got a side order of chips with delicious queso sauce. Everything was perfect and matched our authentic western taste. We will be back soon and often. PS Online they have a very easy uncomplicated and clear menu system. read more

Victor's has become my go-to since moving back to Cookeville. Rolled tacos smothered in guac and the pastor & fish tacos are amazing. The fish tacos are a marked contrast from the usual fish-sticks-in-a-soggy-tortilla that other places around here tend to serve. The service is always quick and the employees are very friendly and eager to help you figure out what to get if you aren't sure. The menu is varied enough that you can get something different every time you go -- though I always get the same thing -- it's sooooo good. If you've been to a similarly-name taco shop in the Franklin/Nashville area (starts with an "O") it's similar fair, just better. Give Victor's a try. read more

yyyyyyyuum! We think it's awesome. The place is clean, the staff are friendly. The food is great.

Delicious and very affordable!! These tacos will make you happy! The people that worked there were very nice too. I can't wait till go back!

Paid for a delivery. The food did not come out as instructed. I called and the employee Dan, did not care to fix the issue, said it was ChowNow's issue, not theirs. Than hung up on me. I'm beyond upset and dissatisfied with the customer service. So disrespectful and rude. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside but we ordered the shrimp tacos, great sauce and slaw but tiny portion of shrimp. The taco salad also had great flavor but barely any beef. Overall a decent meal for the price. read more

The food is here is phenomenal. The cashier there is always friendly. Every time I've been there the place has been quiet and not too busy. The place is also clean and right next to TTU, which is amazing. read more

Victor's is a nice little spot on Tennessee Tech University Campus. The prices are decent for a small location such as this and the Staff very friendly. Now, onto the food :) Me and my daughter visited for Dinner after a full day of playing Pokemon Go on Campus and I decided to surprise her with Dinner at Victor's as it's one of her favorite places to eat, she had a taco all the way and I had the rolled beef tacos and an order of Chicken Cheese Fries, The Food was delicious! The plate of Chicken Cheese Fries was large enough for me and my daughter to share! We both left very satisfied! We both will be back! read more

I had the chicken nachos which were on special for 5.99. I liked them and it was enough food, really, to share. I will say that I didnt like the toppings here as much as what you would find at a traditional restaurant like cinco amigos or el tap. I would probably choose those places over victors (at least for nachos) because here if you want lettuce, tomato, etc you do have to pay extra to add it. I believe my nachos came with sour cream, beans, meat(chicken), and pico. Then they have salsa you put on yourself. It was still quite good though and very convenient to campus. I will note that if you dont get the special I think the prices are quite high. So expect to pay around $10 read more

The breakfast burrito was a good size for the price but could be so much better. It lacks seasoning, salt & pepper and the tortilla was thick and tough. read more

LOVE this place! First time here and I got veggie nachos and a carne asada taco. Phenomenal! Great flavor, hot sauce was actually hot, and only $10 (the nachos were a hefty portion). Will be here again! Great atmosphere, clean, and right off Tech campus. read more

Girl working at the front was very rude. Looked at me like I was stupid when I asked a question about one of the tacos on the menu... considering I didn't know because this is my first time. Not friendly at all. Not coming back because of her... Got beef tacos and the beef was burnt and barely on my taco. Crappy experience. read more

Edited review: Okay. I've given Victor's Taco Shop three chances. Tonight was the last time I'll eat there. My food was cold when it was handed to me, continuing the trend. Enough said. Let me preface this rating by saying that this is based on a delivery, and I might reconsider after eating in. I ordered cheese enchiladas and shrimp nachos. Two cheese enchiladas without sides just aren't enough food for me. I live pretty close, but the food was cold when it arrived. I can't blame the delivery driver. My food was in an insulated bag. When I cut into the enchiladas, the cheese wasn't even melted. The flavors were good. The nachos were, too, but again were barely warm. I'd like to see this place offer a la carte items and add sides to the enchiladas like rice and beans. read more

This is a new restaurant next to crepes and creme next to Tennessee Tech. The restaurant is clean, the menu is easy to follow for a first time visitor and the prices are reasonable! I was very happy with the breakfast burrito (which is served all day!) The shrimp tacos are also delicious! The ingredients are quality, and the flavor is great! My order was ready quickly, and the staff is very kind. I will definitely be back this week! I'm looking forward to trying the chip & guac, nachos, and other burritos and tacos! read more

Nothing but good things to say. Authentic corn tortillas are something you don't come by that often in Cookeville, so Victor's hits a sweet spot for me. Fair prices and high quality food with an extensive menu. Prompt, prepared-to-order service that still only takes a couple of minutes at most. Their Horchata is next-level and the biggest sleeper on site (definitely give it a try.) read more

Victors Taco Shop - Great tacos - Mexican Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

Amazing! There taco Tuesday deal is perfect! The people are really nice, it's a must to go here.

Good Mexican food! Close to campus! Store is very clean! Decent prices. They need far more seating than they have!

If you come here, there is only one thing you need to order...every. single. time. El Pastor. I don't care if you have it in a burrito or in a taco or as dessert; you must get the el pastor. It is amazing! The flavor of the pork is succulent & with just the right spice level. It's also moist & not dried out. If I were to be picky about the el pastor burrito, I would prefer a lot less onion in my pico de gallo & more guacamole on the burrito, but I love the pork so much that the rest matters little. I am in love! My husband also likes the California burrito. And we enjoyed the steak breakfast burrito & chorizo breakfast burrito. (If you get breakfast burritos, they have a deal for a breakfast burrito & either orange juice or a fountain drink for only $4.50! ) One afternoon, my brother-in-law ordered the two taco plate with a shrimp taco & fish taco & said the shrimp was bland but the fish was better; not the greatest fish taco he'd ever had but good enough. Just stick with the el pastor. You'll thank me later! read more

Outstanding chorizo breakfast burrito. Very extensive menu. Will definitely eat there again when I'm in that area.

Great food, friendly staff. Clean and simple seating. my only complaint is that they need more seating. Next week when Tech begins, this place will be slammed. read more

Excellent food and service! The fish tacos and chicken tacos were great. Cheese dip was good and I loved their chips! Will be back next time we're in Cookeville! read more

Stop and Victors and had their chicken Fajitas. Very good fresh mex food. Very clean place and the food was fast and hot Would stop again next time am in town read more

I got the fajita play with shrimp and it was very good. The beans were good and the rice was also good. Overall the restaurant looks very clean and you feel that they use high-quality ingredients. The portions are also great for the price read more

Food was delicious and very filling. Went in hungry came out mostly full( doesn't help that im a bottomless pit)

I had a couple of hours to kill while my son took a test across the street. The people at Victor's were so kind to allow me to stay there. I ate one of their bacon and egg breakfast burritos. It was huge and so good. Their tea is brewed there and it was good too. I can't wait to go back. Oh good prices too. read more

Love the food here.always fresh with excellent service. Prices are great too. They all had masks as well as customers except those chewing.
