We stopped for tacos at Tacos Before Vatos at Clayton’s Rail in Morris and the food was awesome! I had chicken tacos and they were delicious, the best I’ve ever had. Tom had steak tacos which were also good. It not as good as the chicken. The chips and green salsa were excellent too, the salsa had just the right amount of heat. Our server was very good and attentive! We’ll be back!🌮♥️♥️

Great flavor in their taco meat (we like the Pastor and Cecina best), the BEST taco sauce in the area, and their fresh made chips and salsa are amazing. Out favorite spot for Tacos around here.
September 2024
DELICIOUS!!! If you want fresh, and authentic, this is your spot! We will 100000% be back. In addition, the owners couldn't have been any nicer if they tried. If I could give 10 stars I would.
