    Friendly service, delicious fresh food. Pretty damn good. Seems pretty authentic to me, but not as good as the food truck. El Taco Naco has a much more diverse menu, though. Some of the items on the menu include tamales, tacos, tortas, fruits on a stick (mango, pineapple, etc), and others. You can choose the type of meat (carne asada, al pastor, carnitas, etc). And yes, they also have the native agua drinks, like horchata, tamarind, coco, and mango. We ordered the torta and tacos last week. The meat was tender and marinated well and bursting with flavor. I ordered a tamarind agua to go with my torta. It was smooth and refreshing. It cost $5 for 3 tamales, and each torta cost $4 each. You can find this little food stand near stall D2 at the Beach Blvd Flea Market on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Recently tried out this food truck at an event and unfortunately, I think we ordered the wrong things. We ordered a steak burrito and chicken nachos, both were eight dollars. Neither item tasted very good, the cheese sauce on the nachos seemed like it came out of a can. I read the other reviews after we had already finished eating and wish we tried something else since so many others have had great experiences.

    This is literally the most authentic Mexican food in Jacksonville Florida hands down!!!!!!!! If you don't believe me come put your taste buds to the test Honestly, I can't even type the rest of this review because I have to get back to eating it's that important Nom nom nom nom nom

    Chicken and steak tacos, chicken was good, steak marginal

    I had remarkable Mexican food at a nearby food truck the night before I tried Taco Naco and I have been to Mexico several times so the bar was already set high. Simply put, the food didn't live up to expectations. I had the chicken and steak tacos. The chicken tacos were good but the steak tacos were marginal at best. The steak itself was dry and had an unusual taste to it. I had to add an excessive amount of mild sauce to the steak to make it edible. The atmosphere was not evaluated since the eatery is within the confines of a flea market (just do not take your first date here) and the service was better than expected. In sum, there are several places in the area I prefer over this one for tacos.

    I visited Taco Way for the first time recently on a Tuesday to check it out. They have two kiosks…read moreat the counter that you order from. The 30% off code - LOVETACOS - is good on the entire menu on Taco Tuesdays. The deal & code are advertised on a window poster you'll notice as you walk up in addition to another poster advertising a great lunch deal available. I ordered the Shrimp Tacos (corn tortillas, lettuce, breaded fried shrimp, chipotle mayo, and cilantro) minus pico & they were great. The shrimp were freshly fried and steaming hot. I had to wait a bit because a large catering order was being finished as I arrived. The manager offered me a free Jarritos and apologized profusely for my wait. I took it as a good sign that their tacos are that popular plus it gave me time to enjoy the gorgeous murals by ARTBYJAE. I visited the Baymeadows location (open until 3am Fri/Sat & 1am Sun-Th) & they now have a second location on Parental Home Rd (open until 1am Fri/Sat & 11pm Sun-Th).

My sister placed an order and picked up the order. Since it was taco Tuesday we each got three birria tacos. The meat itself was fairly flavorful and the consome was decent. I appreciated they charred the outside of the tortilla and it was nicely crisped. Since I'm from Southern California, I was expecting some type of hot sauce like all of our taco shops offer, but sadly there was none. I would have loved a little spice, but the tacos were very good with the onions. I was pleasantly surprised they were out of cilantro, which for me makes me happy since I'm not a fan of the stuff. Overall it was a good meal and for Florida, they were pretty decent birria tacos.

All were delicious! We will come back and try their brunch menu next time!

Taco Libre was just 1.5 miles from the hospital so we gave it a shot, and happy we did. Tasty free salsa and warm chips placed on the table. Delicious tacos filled up - they don't skimp on the ingredients. Large cups of Diet Coke - hey, gotta watch my figure! Tacos came in an order of three and I was able to have three different types. Perfect meal for what we were craving. Service was friendly and on-point. Food came out quickly. Terrific Lucha Libre wrestling theme with murals, paintings, and masks adorning the walls. Very colorful and fun decor. Clean bathroom. A few TV's showing soccer games. Outside seating area in front. Taco Tuesday specials. Plenty of food options and drinks on the menu.

I ordered the Wet California burrito with steak, and it was mostly rice and beans with very little steak. The "wet" was just queso poured over the top and onto the plate. Some bites tasted decent, others were inconsistent. The steak that was there was okay. The margarita was also a letdown -- more sour than expected and likely house tequila, with very little ice. Chips were unsalted (which I didn't mind), and the salsa had a bit of a pinch to it. Unfortunately, I woke up the next morning with a bad stomach ache and didn't feel great while eating the food. I probably should have said something to management at the time. Our waitress was friendly, but couldn't really elaborate when we asked about the menu. Overall, I'm paying for great food and service -- not just "okay." I don't see myself returning.

Be aware that there is no free water (only $1 bottles) , there's no chips included, and they charged us higher prices on the bill than the prices on the menu. And this wouldn't be so bad if the prices were affordable, but things like the guacamole and street corn were both $13 dollars, which is crazy because those are usually side dishes. So if you want the best bang for your buck here I'd recommend just getting a taco cause those are pretty filling and only around $7, but overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. Edit: There's also another extra fee if you use card.
