30 Best Taco Restaurants in Columbus

“This is one my favorite taco spots in the city, they have CHICKEN birria tacos, SHRIMP tacos and plenty other options that I haven’t got to try yet because the chicken tacos are so good and hefty they got me hooked. These chicken tacos are fat! The price is very reasonable and they give out buzzers to alert you when your order is done, 10 mins usually. I go here once a week at least if I can get out of work in time. They moved closer to my job so I’m happy with the new location.“

“First time eating here. We had a couple different people recommend it so we gave it a try. We had the carne fajitas and a small burrito. The fajitas were excellent. The food came out super fast. It was fresh and delicious. Also liked the two sauces that were brought out with the meal. Services was friendly. The place only had a few other dine in customers, but plenty of take out customers. Plenty of parking around back. Will definitely be going back.“

“I love Mexican food. today, after driving by this truck daily, I finally decided to try it out. it's so delicious!!! all Mexican food is now ruined for me after eating this. I got a burrito bowl and a taco. when I tell you this is the best I've ever had, I'm not kidding. and my total was $15!!!“

“My far the best food I’ve had in years. Fernando the owner/manager is one of the most genuinely nicest person. I’m not big on leaving reviews but this food was so good along with the service that I had to. Go try it. You won’t regret it. ?“

“Muy rico! I was very impressed. Great service great food. It’s authentic and the tortillas are homemade even the flour ones which I’ve never had except in Mexico. So very pleased to see that. I wish there was one in Dayton. They’re tacos suadero I a brisket style Mexican beef and it’s rare to find in America, so cool that they make it.“

“I am visiting from Boston and just happen to spontaneously tour the Ohio Statehouse. Here, I lunched at HouseTaco which locates inside the Statehouse itself. The food is quick and fresh. Chef Zach prepared the tacos on-site with passion. They were delicious! What a hidden gem!!!“

“Cuco's was established more than 20 years ago, by three brothers from Mexico, Juan, Alejandro, and Roberto. The Menu at Cuco's features their mother's and grandmother's Family Recipes. This makes dining there a unique and authentic experience. Cuco's is one of a kind. The cuisine is outstanding and reasonably priced, with very large portions. The experienced staff are all very friendly and attentive. Many staff members have been serving at Cuco's since the beginning of the restaurant. Starting with one storefront in the building, they have expanded to include several additional, adjacent storefronts. Their business and reputation for excellence have grown accordingly. The decor and ambiance make you feel as though you have stepped into a lively and popular restaurant in Mexico. This includes Mexican music, and the televisions show Mexican cable channels. Cuco's is my family's favorite Mexican restaurant. We dine there often, and for special family occasions. Since we started going there more than 20 years ago, Cuco's is now the only Mexican restaurant we go to, since The Best cannot be improved upon.. Cuco's very well deserves its Five Star Rating“

“The food here is literally so delicious ? The service is excellent. Very nice, very friendly. This will be our new favorite place. We got the birria ramen, birria pizza, Carne asada Street tacos, Baja shrimp taco, Carne asada, and horchata. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS “

“This was our first time going to this establishment. We were a party of 4, with my husband in a wheelchair. We were greeted by CJ, most kind, wonderful individual with a great smile! Our server Sophia was very patient, kind and offered many wonderful food recommendations. Which I might add, we loved everything! If I could suggest one thing if you’re in the area, or just wanting some great tacos, nachos, guacamole, salsa, and chips this is the spot to go to! THANK YOU ALL!!Wheelchair accessibility: The dining area is kind of tight, but what I will say when we arrived there, CJ made every accommodation for my husband in a wheelchair to feel most comfortable.“

“Amazing and friendly service/food! Since moving to Polaris, this place has been my go-to when I chose to eat out and there’s no doubt why. My boyfriend and I always get Garrett or Stephanie as our servers and they are nothing short of amazing at their jobs!“

“Great tacos and a super fun atmosphere! We had a great server and the manager Dawn was very enthusiastic about welcoming us into the restaurant when I brought my friends for their first visit. After today it will definitely not be their last!“

“The smash burger is like the prototypical good burger. Perfect crust. Perfect amount of cheese and pickles. Add some ketchup and it is magical. And for 9$ (6$ on Wednesday, 9$ with fries) it is a steal.The atomic fireballs are deliciously cheesy and complemented the food well.The drinks are also great too.10/10 Would come back next Wednesday.Parking: parking lot is tiny, you'll need to find street parking near the residential streets on the side.“

“Excellent food, reasonable prices. The manager Zoe was our server, it was such a busy night so she was helping out. She made great suggestions, was warm and welcoming. The cocktails were tasty, and we each enjoyed a few tacos. Honestly, all of it was good! The restaurant was packed and a bit loud, so if you're looking for a quiet meal, I'd say look elsewhere. But, if you want a fun and night out, this is the place!“

“I love this place! I ate lunch here every dayI was in the city! I ate in and did take out. Brussel sprouts, cauliflower bites, the BECKY!!!… everything was delicious. There was one day they were very short staffed so service was understandably slow, but everyone was still kind, efficient and really killed it honestly! The little red corvette frozen marg was amazing!My only complaint is that I tripped on the broken floor boards at the table behind the bar… the floor there is pretty damaged.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian options“

“My 11 year daughter and I came here for a mother daughter lunch date and we had THE BEST experience. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the lovely hostess to the fun atmosphere. Our server, Vaugh, was an absolute pleasure! He took his time with us, helping us to figure out what to order and was super friendly and kind. I wish all servers were more like him. The food was delicious and came out quickly! We definitely will be back!“

“The food is great!! I always get either tacos or gorditas, the burritos and quesadillas.Please understand that Mexican tacos are corn, tortillas, red meat with cilantro and onion, if you want to order chicken with lettuce, tomato and cheese that is American, your are ruining the experience, just go to taco bell instead. ??‍♀️“

“Today was my first time visiting Pachucos Taqueria. The food truck offers authentic Mexican traditional entrees. I called in my order (recommend) in the late morning. I ordered a regular chicken taco, a chicken supreme taco, a regular steak taco. The chicken and steak meats were savory and deliciously seasoned. All three tacos were amazing! There is an eating area that is covered and is just a few feet away from where you place, pay, and pickup your order. Parking is limited and tight. Decent prices. Nice and friendly service via phone order and picking up my order.“

“this spot was amazing, my boyfriend and i were visiting from brooklyn and were told by the staff we picked a good spot to stop at for tacos. waitress was the sweetest to us and we chatted a bit about new york. the tacos were phenomenal, i had the lucy's fire and sweet heat. i feel awful though, the table next to us was two gross drunk men who kept harassing the poor waitress every time she came near them, it was so much i was ready to shout at them.“

“I have never had tacos in my life as good as these tacos (besides the ones made by abuela and las tias and I have had at least 10,000 plus tacos in my life. They are so tender and full of flavor. The sauce of the tacos is also delicous yet not spicy.“

“I love this place! Everything is good here. I've had the tacos, the quesadilla, and my favorite is the tostada. When the food is ready, you have the option of adding sauces to your meals. The light green cilantro sauce is fresh and wonderful. Place an order (cash payment is cheaper), get a drink from the gas station and have a nice meal outside on the table by the truck.“

“Just stopped here for lunch 12/18/23. Top tier tacos. I always get carne asada everywhere I go and this place was just as good as any full service restaurant. Service was fast. Proportions were perfect. Excellent salsa verde. Cucumber slices on the side. I hate cucumber but hey I ate them because a fresh veggie never hurt anyone. 10/10 will go again when I am in this part of town.“

“I love my friends here Marco and the rest of my friends was wrong about me because I have been there over two weeks I stop in to see my best friend s tonight always treat me with respect and kindness and always have the best tasting tacos I would go to no other place but this tacos stand love u “

“One of (if not the) best Mexican food trucks in the Columbus area. Actually authentic and delicious. If you are looking for a Tex-Mex style place, this isn't the place for you.My favorites there are tacos de cabeza, barabacoa, asada, lengua y huaraches con asada. I haven't had anything here I didn't like.“

“I was in town for a conference, and opted to check this place out with a coworker. The interior is really vibrant, and features a self-serve chip + salsa bar. I ordered a margarita and two tacos (tempura mushroom and sweet potato + pumpkin seeds), and they did not disappoint. Our server graciously split our bill, as we needed receipts for work. Would definitely recommend!“

“Delicious Mexican food! I find that asking the server for recommendations always pays off. The burritos and tacos are great. I've tried their beef head and it was amazing. They have a dish called Mexican quesadillas with cabbage and although it doesn't sound very interesting, it's super yummy! Its my new go-to dish here. You can also text your oder on Whatsapp and pickup. Gracias!!“

“DOS SABORES MEXICAN GRILL AND CANTINA is Fabulous ?. LOVE my shrimp ? & chicken ? fajitas. It was some of the best food I've tasted in a while.

“Stopped in here looking for a sunny patio and Junior's did not disappoint!Monday Special was $15 for 3 tacos and a margarita. Al pastor was excellent. They have a chocolate cake that is amazing. It's from a local bakery. Didn't care for the queso but everything else was excellent!The bartender was great and we met the owner, Carlos. I'll be back for sure!¡Gracias!“

“We love this location!!! We use the drive thru all the time!!! So convenient. Staff are aleays friendly and helpful - and the food is always packed appropriatley for to-go orders!!! (I prefer sauces on side anyways to dip the tacos in vs. Putting them on the taco)!Out favorite are the trailer park (make it trashy :)) and the Wrangler breakfast taco!!“

“The best authentic Mexican food in Columbus Ohio! Tops! Fantastic! Right on Cleveland avenue corner w Radnor street, unassuming, you blink you miss it. Don't miss this place! The grilled chicken over real wood fire is epic, plus they give you a dozen tortillas to help you pound it down . Still dizzy from the good food!Vegetarian options: The tacos dorados de papa...likeMom used to make“

“Kept seeing this when driving across 17th, never had a chance to stop. Made a chance today. 17th is closed for the Quarterhorse Congress, so plan a route using 4th and Summit. Easy access, though, right on the road at the carryout.Friendly owners. A menu with all the usual suspects plus a few. It all looked good; I just went with 2 asada tacos, 2 pastor, and some tostones. Oh, and some horchata when I noticed that (they also have Jarritos I think.)The tacos were very good. Diced, tender, flavorful meat. Fresh veggies. Sauce on the side, plus limes, etc. 4 was plenty. The tostones were perfect. Huge, crispy outside, a little soft inside. Come with a thick, slightly tangy sauce. Yum.The horchata was pretty standard. Rare enough that I get it when I see it.Nice little parking lot. A couple of big tables with umbrellas. Everything you could want for a quick lunch. Tasty. reasonably priced, fast.“
