15 Best Taco Restaurants near Canal Winchester

“Great authentic food. Very friendly staff and great service“

“I just had a carne asada bowl from the truck on the beach at the Coronado Shores. It was fantastic!“

“The food is delicious and the customer service is probably one of the best I’ve experienced.“

“I love it when a first try of something new to me is a sensational first impression as well! friendly staff and great food! I'll be back for sure!“

“My daughter had me try this place and it was all she said it would be. She said their tacos are good but I wanted to try her favorite item there, the Mexican burger and it was so delicious. A little messy but the flavor was amazing. I will be going back. I wish I had taken a picture. It smelled so good, I just dug in and totally forgot.“

“We were staying at the Day's Inn across the street and saw the place from our window so decided tip try it. My wife got the nachos and I got a Mexican pork sandwich. Both were delicious and so big we didn't eat it all. This is more like a food truck, outside the market, than a restaurant but it had a few picnic tables top eat on if you like. I recommend trying this place.“

“One of the best little taco trucks in Columbus, they all have rotating menu items like torta jamon and elotes that are well worth it. The burritos are amazing and the tacos are on special for taco Tuesdays (highly recommend at least 4).

It's a great place on the go, doesn't take long to get your food and it's exactly what you want from a taco truck.

Update 10/8/24: I have been coming here for a few years now and I will continue to come back again and again. I feel like most restaurants have dropped in quality over the last few years but Taqueria Morelia is consistent, fast, and delicious.“

“This is my first stop after work, when I work in the area. She’s so friendly and the food is amazing. It’s like comfort in a bag. The tamales ❤️ the gorditas 😍 and don’t forget the tortas 🥰 It’s been a year or so since my last visit where I live in West Virginia, but the food was even better than I remembered. Thank you 🙏🏻“

“I’ve had Tacos El Mitote 2 days in a row and it’s amazing. Will be going back often.“

El Tacoriendo – Columbus, OH
Tacoriendo

Ever have a dinner plan fall through, only to find something even better by accident?

That’s exactly how I ended up here. My go-to Thai place was closed (my heart was set on pork belly fried rice), so I pivoted—and honestly, I’m glad I did.

This was only my second time at El Tacoriendo, and it was a 4/4 taco win.

I tried:
🌮 Asada – tender and smoky, almost buttery in a warm corn tortilla
🌮 Suadero – juicy and rich without being greasy
🌮 Cecina – salty-savory in the best way
🌮 Barbacoa – soft, shredded, and perfect with a squeeze of lime

Everything came loaded with fresh cilantro, onion, grilled onions, and crisp cucumber slices on the side. The green salsa was mellow, the red had a little kick, but honestly, the meat didn’t need any help.

Even after not eating all day, two tacos filled me up—these portions are no joke.

The menu has so many proteins you don’t see everywhere: beef tongue, tripe, buche, chorizo. After today, I’m open to trying all the unique ones next time. If you’re the adventurous type, this is your playground.

🚨 Outside the building looks like the kind of spot you'd second-guess after dark--like pulling up to a Linden carryout when the streetlights flicker--but trust me, If you judge a taco by the tortilla (and honestly, you should), this place is worth checking out.

Inside feels relaxed and colorful—painted chairs, bright walls, and no pressure. You’re just here to eat good food.

I’d bring y’all with me if I could—because this is the kind of spot that’s easy to love.

🌮 5/5 – Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe a little curious about what you’ll order next.“

“had a steak burrito. it was awesome. The sauce on the side took it to the next level.“

“We have made this spot our date night club; the music starts out with our ole school and music we can relate to, once it turns, its our time to leave because the crowd changes. We now have date nights on Friday and Saturday with on a good night we leave around 11pm. We meet new people here and always enjoy ourselves.“

“Hace tiempo que no iba , pero volví a ir ya que sus tacos y todo era muy rico, me gustaban mucho sus tacos recién cortados del trompo, el señor que los cocina y corta realmente sabe hacer su trabajo. Pero esta vez que volví a ir , los tacos muy buenos, pero me recibió una muchacha que desde que llegamos estaba como enojada su servicio mal, y no se diga la salsa estaba servida en vasitos parecía agua, ya no es nada igual que antes ojalá pongan más atención“

“Al Pastor Tacos from Los Guachos never disappoint! Though they do add up in cost if you have a big appetite (regular price of $2.50 each). This location does needs some renovations. There is no lighting in the parking lot at night. The parking lot is just a few feet from a busy street which could be potentially dangerous if you have kids. Overall the experience was good.

Parking: Small parking lot that is just a few feet from the road. I feel like a fence would be nice to create some separation from my family and the cars passing by on this main road.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs, but at least two were broken.“
