Orlando was plating some great breakfast burritos this morning at the Durham Farmers Market! Mine was chorizo w/ eggs & cheese; my wife chicken... We loved both! Will return. read more

Checked out La Republica after hanging out at Mystic Distillery on Saturday. La Republica is a cool food truck with a diverse, but small menu of tacos, quesadillas, burritos, bowls, beans, and rice. The man at the window that helped me was so kind and helpful! He made sure that my bowl was taken care of with their avocado sauce added on the side. And wow! Everything was so good! The bowl was stuffed with lettuce topped with spicy chicken, shredded cheese, sour cream, onion, tomatoes. The bowl was full of flavor and so yummy! Literally this bowl did not need anything, just a box to take it home in! I enjoyed every bite and definitely will come back for more! read more

The owner of this truck was very kind to my son who was overheated from skateboarding and came to buy tacos. The owner gave him a free drink which was extremely nice and my son enjoyed his tacos. read more

Food Truck Time: La Republica at the Holly Springs Food Truck Rodeo My tacos were very good! I ordered the special for $7.99, it comes with two tacos with your choice of toppings, rice and beans. The chipotle chicken was my favorite, I also enjoyed the mixed vegetables. Overall, great experience. read more

Not blow your socks off tacos, but definitely pretty decent. I tried the chipotle chicken and the veggie tacos. I wasn't a huge fan of the veggie one because the veggies were soggy and could use more flavor. The chipotle chicken was really good! Tender pieces of chicken. Got a side of chips+queso - again, not super memorable or anything but, I mean, chips and queso are always good. At least in my experience. The best part of the experience were the workers. Super friendly and they even brought out chicken for me and my friend's dogs along with our food. read more

La Republica - Veggie and chipotle chicken tacos with chips and queso - Food Trucks Near Me

It was really hard to rate this food truck because there was some really good food and really bad food but all of it was executed very very poorly. I ordered 2 tacos - 1 Chipotle chicken and the other beef with all the toppings and a side of chips and queso. Let's get the awful out of the way: the chips and "queso". Idk what it is with Mexican food trucks using football game nacho cheese but it's gross. It was topped with shredded cheese and chips were carelessly thrown in to get soggy. Ugh not good especially not for the price. The tacos tasted great but we're sloppily put together - my Chipotle chicken had beef in it. The tortillas were so soggy that they immediately fell apart when I picked one up so I had to eat everything with a fork which is pretty bad for what's supposed to be street food. All in all, some great flavors and some really crappy ones but the execution was bad for both. I also had coworkers that ordered the special but didn't get the rice and beans side and one person ordered a quesadilla missing cheese so be sure to check your order! read more

La Republica came to our office for lunch and this is the second time I have had their tacos. The tropical truck has all kinds of hot sauces and brewery stickers on their doors. The service was super friendly and the gentlemen explained the different types of tacos. They offer chicken, chicken chipotle, chorizo, steak and a chorizo combo. The special comes with two tacos and rice and beans served in a styrofoam container. The tacos were ready rather quickly and the chipotle was made with a nice crema. The cost for two tacos and rice and beans was $7.99 and they accept square. They said they are based out of Durham and do many lunch work events instead of food truck rodeos. He said to follow them on FB so I will see if I can find them or on Instagram. Buon provecho! read more

Ran across them at Hi-Wire in Durham and had the quesadilla (chipotle polo) and man, what a meal! Very filling and goodness, delicious! Offered their red or green salsa, asked what would go best and they said, "here, try both!" Anyway, highly recommended. I was going to try their tacos too but the quesadilla filled me up. read more

Ten out of ten as always. Honest people and very nice. Always has something new. Worth the drive. (Every month or two I come down from NJ and I make sure I ALWAYS stop by. read more

La Republica - Chicken Tacos with Chips. - Food Trucks Near Me

Enjoyed this at Saturdays in Saxapahaw. Great, friendly service- even though they weren't able to turn their A/C on! Kids scarfed down the chicken burrito (high on flavor, low on heat- great for the kids). The Elote was literally bursting with flavor, biting into the corn made a delicious mess of sweet street corn on our faces. read more

The burrito was delicious and the service was amazing! We will definitely look for them again.

We went to the truck after having coffees at Cocoa Cinnamon, what a treat! Had a vegetarian burrito with a side of chips slathered in that cheese sauce that you just NEED in your life. The burrito felt as if it were right out of Mexico, and everything inside was cooked to perfection. Had some delicious avocado in it as well. Try the hot hot sauce, it's tasty, especially with a burrito! The owner is a really nice guy, made us feel right at home during our travels from New York down to North Carolina. Highly recommended! read more

We coordinated for La Republica to come to our neighborhood during this whole coronavirus stay at home order. It was great! The food was delicious and being able to order on Street Food Finder and schedule a pick up time was awesome. A previous review mentioned their queso being a nacho cheese out of a can... That was not how it was when we had it. It was like a traditional queso and had melted cheese on top. What makes cheese better? More cheese. It was great being able to support local and have a night off from cooking right in our own neighborhood! read more

My husband and I went to this food truck at an art event. It was the only choice, but it was tacos, so we thought it would be good. We will not visit this truck again- the food quality was fair, but it was all a giant mess and very hard to eat, which is particularly challenging when you're at a good truck. We both stopped eating about halfway through because it wasn't worth it anymore. read more

Service was great, very helpful and friendly. Portion size is decent for food truck standards, but the burritos me and my wife got were extremely bland. Chips were just about cold and they served it with the nastiest bland water queso. owners need to try again read more

I was coming back from the airport, starving, and on my way to meet folks on Rigsbee. Wasn't in the mood for the usual and, thankfully, my wife remembered La Republica. I had seen the truck outside of Cocoa Cinnamon a few weeks in a row but hadn't had the chance to try it yet. When I called Orlando (yeah, I know, calling a food truck to place an order is super weird) for some nachos, he sounded a little surprised. But let me tell you, I was even more surprised when I picked up my food. Piled high with veggies, beans, cheese, and all the fixings. Delicious and more than reasonably priced. Without a doubt, the best vegetarian nachos I've had in Durham. read more

Split a pastor burrito but it was so good, I could have eaten the whole thing. A great example of a really good taco truck. Can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

I was very skeptical about tacos for breakfast, but the food was amazing!!!! The chipotle aioli and house verde sauce stole the show, in my opinion. They have other options besides tacos for breakfast (plus a huge selection of salsa / sauce options), and everyone agreed the food was awesome. Looking forward to trying lunch/dinner items. Would definitely recommend. read more

The tacos are tasty but the tortillas are way too thin and soft. Two bites into the first one it fell apart. I couldn't even pick up the second one. Thankfully they have plastic forks so I could still eat the fillings but it's not the same. read more

This truck is amazing!!! I've had the chorizo, Carne aaada and chicken tacos. My favorite was the chorizo because it was so rich in flavor. Not that the others weren't but this one stood out. I definitely look forward to trying out their other items at the special events they have. read more

Best tacos, best nachos and best service! Especially accompanied by my favorite beer.

Tacos were on point! Loved the chipolte chicken and the taco of the day - a beer beef slow-cooked to perfection! The toppings were perfect. I also appreciated the variety of hot sauces! This is a truck to stalk!!! read more

We reserved Chef Orlando to come to our house as a surprise for my husband's birthday since my husband loves Mexican food. It was a huge hit!! The food looked and tasted delicious!! Several people said it was the best Mexican they've had in Raleigh, myself included, and everyone was going back for more. Chef Orlando was also so easy to coordinate with and they were such nice people to hang out with during the event. We look forward to visiting them in Durham and having them at another event! Thank you so much La Republica!! read more

The Best Chicken Burrito and nachos in Durham. The flavors were a Ratatouille style symphony in your mouth! Truly authentic and delicious.

I had La Republica out to my house so we could celebrate my husband's birthday responsibly. The food was the best Mexican food I've ever had, and all our guest shared the same sentiment. The customer service was the icing on the cake. I'm planning to find the restaurant and the truck because I've not stopped craving their food since the birthday gathering. read more

I waited till I had it for the second time to write a review to make sure it was consistent. They didn't disappoint. Between the incredibly well seasoned food, fresh taste, and great presentation, they also have a great selection of hot sauces. I wouldn't recommend the queso but the entrees are amazing! read more

Really enjoyed the chipotle chicken tacos, pork tacos, quesadillas and chips and queso. Excellent service. Very happy to have the truck parked at Nuese River Brewing Company Taproom! read more

Tacos were very good, and the people there were very nice. The side of rice I got was mush, and not good but the tacos were yummy. I also think for small tacos the prices were a bit too expensive. read more

Saturday morning breakfast in front of cocoa and cinnamon in durham was the perfect way to start my day. I ordered the campesino tray & also tried the tamales. Both were excellent and the bacon was the best in Durham!! Thanks guys:) read more

Just at at the La Republica food truck for the first time. I had the steak and chipotle chicken tacos with all the toppings. They were amazing! So many flavors and everything tasted so fresh. My favorite was the chipotle chicken taco and my favorite topping was the avocado sauce. read more

This food truck is A+. From the taste of the food (tacos and nachos are ridiculously good - and HUGE servings) to the quality of the guys running the truck... Can't wait to see La Republica show up at my local brewery again. Keep up the great work guys! read more

First - this would have been 4 stars but the chips tasted stale. The chorizo burrito was pretty great. It was a 14 inch tortilla stuffed full of chorizo, black beans, rice, cheese, and pico de gallo. I would not hesitate to buy from this food truck in the future. read more

Food was incredible. Huge servings, I couldn't eat it all & had leftovers. My husband had the chorizo burrito. I had chicken. Very delicious. Great service. Highly recommend!! read more

I only ordered the chips and queso, and felt robbed after getting crappy plastic-esque orange gel for $5 instead of real melted cheese with veggies and spice. At the very least I expected Qdoba-quality queso, but this was a true rip-off. read more
