8 Best Taco Restaurants near Leicester

Los Tacotes - Tacos & Burritos Mexican • $
2935 New Leicester Hwy, Leicester

“Very cool place. There's the taco truck out front and the little store behind. I've only been in the store a couple of times (Seriously, I'm the whitest Scots-Irish guy you know), but it had some interesting Mexican/Hispanic products. The candy was really cool.

The taco truck is what I usually hit when I visit. The portions are enormous. This is not Taco Bell stuff. A single taco comes with two soft corn tortillas and enough stuffing for both. They come with onion, cilantro, radish, lime wedge, your choice of meat, and (though I always decline it - did say I was super white, right?) a grilled jalapeno. The green sauce is so flavorful without being too hot. Mom loves the quesadilla.

Just be cautious pulling in/out. The bottom of the drive is kind of washed out and lumpy. Easier to come and go from the drive near Sluder's (Eastbound) unless you have a truck or SUV.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tortilleria Molina has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. I’ve tried both the chicken and steak tacos, as well as the steak and pork burritos — and every single bite has been nothing short of amazing. The flavors are rich and authentic, the meat is always perfectly cooked, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. You can tell they put real heart into their food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Next level!!! The al pastor was absolutely phenomenal! It was grilled with pineapple and served on a fresh tortilla alongside roasted scallions, roasted jalapeño, nopales (cactus), radish and lime, as well as two outstanding sauces. So, so good. Our new favorite Mexican food truck!“

“Best tacos in Asheville. Homemade tortillas that don’t tear when they are soggy. They are good size tacos too, none of those tiny 2 bite ones. The Gordita is the size of a take out box and very good. Pastor and steaks tacos were amazing. Highly recommend!!“
