9 Best Taco Restaurants near Clayton

“Owed my buddy a favor and took him here to try it out. We both got 3 tacos and had a few beers. Tacos were amazing, steak hombre style and steak traditional style. Sally M. Was awesome!! Gave great service and made some amazing tacos. She was very friendly and fun. Give this place a shot and you won't be disappointed.“

“Best Mexican food in Johnston County! We’ve had most everything on the menu and these ladies are unmatched! Pictured is a quesadilla, machete and birria tacos. Their Tortas, hurraches, Gorditas and sopes are also excellent!! At a minimum we order from here 1-2x a week“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (for the tacos… not the emotional trauma from my washing machine)

My day started with my washing machine choosing violence. Not a gentle “needs repair” situation… more like the gates of hell opened and chaos was unleashed. 🔥😩

Since the repair part didn’t come in (of course), I had no choice but to haul a WEEK’S worth of laundry—mine, my husband’s, and my two teenagers’—to the laundromat. Yes. A full family field trip to Laundry Land.

Surprisingly, everything went smoothly. No missing socks. No breakdowns (mine or the machines). A miracle, honestly.

BUT THEN…

We walk outside, arms full of freshly folded laundry, and like a beacon of hope shining down from above… 🌟

A taco truck. 🌮

We immediately abandoned all previous suffering and made our way over. Customer service? 10/10. So sweet. So welcoming.

Food? Even better.

I ordered a chicken quesadilla, the kids got tacos (shrimp, steak, the works), and the second we took a bite… we all just stopped and looked at each other like, “Wait… WHY is this so good?!”

I’m not being dramatic when I say it took me straight back to Puerto Rico. Authentic, flavorful, absolutely incredible.

So yes—my washing machine may have betrayed me…

…but this taco truck?

Restored my faith in humanity“

“This food truck has amazing dishes. I got a plate with fried chicken, plantains and slaw and it was incredible. My wife got tacos and my daughter got a deep fried burrito. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I was just passing thru Durham when I did a search on Mexican food near me. This place popped up and I didn't realize it was a food truck. Based on the perfect 5.0 score I decided to give it a try. Next time I'm in Durham I'll be looking them up!!!“

“My family and I love this taco truck so much! Coming here on a Tuesday will give you one taco for $1—so 8 tacos for $8! Food is always super tasty and consistent—and the gas station makes it easy for you to grab a drink to have with your food!“

“Amazing Mexican food. Perfect lunch or dinner spot. They get pretty busy during lunch so don't wait! Food is always consistently delicious and the classic drinks are always available. There aguas frescas can run out since they only make so much for a day, but if you can get them, definitely worth it. Highly recommend.“

“Omg! Best quesadilla and burrito I’ve had in a while! Cooked to order and delicious!“

“great food, real Mexican food! muy buena comida mexicana. excelente sabor de tortillas y carne.“
