Excellent Mexican food! Unfortunately, we are at the end of our stay in Durham or we would have returned many times to Super Taqueria to taste everything on the menu! Good value for dollar spent. We had the torta with pastor (marinated pork). The sandwich included the pastor, onion, jalapenos, may, muenster cheese, pineapple, tomato, lettuce, sliced avocado and cilantro. What a great taste combination! Chips were good. Got a side of refried beans which were pretty good. But, the big deal was the salsa bar. Two green salsas (one a little hotter than the other), one red (mild), great pico, fresh cilantro, chopped onion and a habanero salad that was extremely hot, but incredibly tasty! Very nice and colorful decor and paintings. I would have liked more Mexican music playing. I think the only music we heard was from the kitchen. Tres leches cake was amazing (moist but not soupy). Coffee was good, served in a unique mug with a side of three little cookies. read more

Pretty good tacos, a little expensive but good. You also get a bunch of toppings when you go in to the little bar you can get them yourself. Weird parking lot though read more

La comida es buena y todo, pero la señora de la recepción es un poco grosera, pero en general la comida es genial

I loved the tacos. Everything is authentic and freshly prepared. I also enjoyed the mango agua Fresca. Muy rico!

Quick serve and the food was really good. Nice late night eatery. Highly recommended. read more

Great food! Affordable! Lots choices. Fresh pico and hot sauces. This will definitely be a regular stop for me from now on!!!

We got a recommendation to come to this place since it is "authentic" and inexpensive. Came for dinner on a Saturday and ordered at the counter after perusing their menu posted on a digital sign. There are no prices listed but we ordered a carne asada plate, tostada cameron, and two horchatas. My Spanish is not great but I was able communicate with the clerk, pay by credit card, and take a numbered sign to our table. Note: there was no option to add a tip on the credit card charge so we put a few dollars in the tip jar. Food came out relatively fast and was good, filling and inexpensive (two of us ate for under $25). They also have a station with salsas and some sides like pico de gallo and vegetables. We don't come to this part of Durham very often but will definitely consider coming back. read more

I've been waiting quite a while to stop by "Super Taqueria" for my taco fix but it was not a good experience for me. I stopped in for a bite a bit after dinner and ordered 3-tacos. When I sat down and took a glimpse at my receipt, they charged me for 4-tacos. I brushed it off because it wasn't worth the fuss. Holy cow -- it took forever to receive my 4-tacos. There was only one other customer in front of me. It took almost 15-20 minutes for my food. The tacos were okay, it was a bit bland to be honest. I couldn't even finish it. I also ordered a medium mango frescas and it tasted like diluted coolay. Overall, not sure if I would go back. It was a negative experience overall. read more

I ordered the chilaquiles. First , they didn't come with beans. And two, the sause looked like it was just tomate sauce. Worst 12 dollars spent . read more

great quality meat!! amazing prices and customizable toppings bar for your tacos. the food came out so fast too. we tried the asada, pollo asado, carnitas, and barbacoa de res and they were all delicious! bonus-- amazing prices and great music playing 10/10 we will be returning!! read more

Came in for an early lunch and the food was fresh. The menu is broken down into categories but you'll also have particular items highlighted available that day. I'm pretty impressed with the tripe burrito Tripe can easily be a hit or miss if it's not cooked right. The chicken and the chorizo was well seasoned and the toppings were a plus. There is way more to try so I'll be back for tortas and their soups. I forgot to mention, really affordable! I spent $20 for two. read more

Tacos are always full of meat which is better than other places that barely fill them. So far each of my visits have been great! Great to sit down and eat or order to go. Service is great. Highly recommend their guava drink!! read more

Lots of choices and very reasonable prices - had a great meal there. Three of us ate for under $25.

The food is great, service good, the ambiance was good, the food was smelling very good when I entered the restaurant.

I have been to this place a few time and i like it, food is good and affordable, i live in Raleigh and sometimes i drive all the way to Durham to eat some Mexican food. The aguas frescas are really good. read more

Such a yummy little hole in the wall! I stopped in with some friends on a Saturday for an early lunch. These fast-casual style places are always my favorite- I feel like they're efficient, economical, and there's something for everyone. There's a parking lot around the back of the building, and plenty of seating. I tried the horchata and some tacos. The horchata was delicious, and I had a friend rave about the strawberry fresca as well, so I'd definitely try another flavor drink in the future. My tacos were brisket and chicken. Very generous meat portions! And the brisket was my favorite- next time I would get all of those! They have a salsa bar with many options, including cilantro and some pickles veggies. Everyone I was with loved their meals. Many of us ordered tacos, one for a burrito, and one the enchiladas. I'd definitely stop back in for this delicious and affordable food! read more

this place is amazing!!! their food is soo good and delicious, would 10/10 recommend! i will say though it gets packed sometimes but that just shows how good it is! everyone is always so nice there and welcoming. If you'rere looking for good mexican food this is the spot!!! read more

They have great horchatas! I got the taco al pastor, which was good. There's plenty of socially distanced seating outside. Street parking is easy to find. Overall, a solid choice for tacos, and an excellent one for horchatas! read more

Awesome, authentic Mexican food. The carne asada burrito is *chef's kiss*. Love this place.

So so happy we finally tried this place!! And really all you need to know about what to order here is their CHILE RELLENOS!! My goodness gracious. They are breaded perfectly, oozing with amazing cheesy goodness, I couldn't stop eating them! So if this is your go-to Mexican dish, this is definitely the best place in Durham for chile rellenos in my opinion! Their beans and rice are also pretty solid and their side of chips and guac is a actually a very large side of guacamole which I always love seeing! Their tacos were also a big hit--the carne asada was our favorite, and the chorizo we got on the quesadilla (slightly different style of quesadilla compared to the larger tortilla styles) was also pretty great! The one let down for us was their gordita which was fine (we got lamb in ours) but the gordita itself just wasn't as flavorful as others we have had in the area. But their red and green salsas poured on anything also made my meal! And we got this tamarind drink that was quite refreshing too since they were out of horchata which we've been told they are experts at making one of the best in Durham. So will definitely be back and will get more of those magical chile rellenos! read more

Authentic Mexican restaurant... Really good tacos Pollo asado, al pastor. Salsa bar really good. Very basic inside.

The food here was really good. The bar for toppings is a nice touch. Their tacos are $2 each, you choose the protein. The serving sizes are just right. I saw many plates going to tables with what looked like delicious meals. I, however, was getting my food to go so I left with 6 tacos, 3 asada and 3 pollo asada I would come back but for takeout only because the inside is not that clean for my taste. They do have a sanitation score of 98 though. That's why I decided to move forward with my order. read more

The pastor is very flavorful, but the carne asada is quite bland. Overall the food was good though. The speed of service was great. I would go again. Their esquitte was delicious. read more

Again, my expectations were too high because I'd been told they have the "best tacos" in Durham. I liked the place but they surely aren't the best tacos. They have a huge variety of proteins but NO vegetarian options. I ordered the chicken taco which I thought was dry and tasteless. The salsa bar made that taco and I still didn't finish it. They only have refried beans which aren't my favorite but they were flavorful. Their chips are thick and not quite salty enough for my taste. They do offer authenticate bottle Cokes with real sugar - small or large. That's always a win for me. Great prices! Friendly people work there. read more

After my meal today I was convinced I needed to write a review! This place is super good! Nice to see the name actually match the food. I've been here a couple times and have only ordered tacos. They make legit Mexican style tacos. No frills, nothing fancy, just delicious tacos with all the required fixings. Cilantro, onions and lime. But today I de used to deviate from the tacos and ordered the Fajita Tejana. Amazing! It's a mix a steak, chicken and shrimp grilled fajita style with a side of rice, beans and guacamole!!! It's a great value but even better flavor! I was super impressed by this plate. I'm definitely making a trip back to this place soon! read more

My first of the taco explorations on Roxboro Road and boy was it delicious! We stopped in about thirty minutes prior to closing and ordered a handful of tacos: asada (beef), chorizo and pollo (chicken). Honestly, I'm not going to lie, but the ordering process was a little intimidating for an English only speaker. The menu is on the wall as well as on paper, but there are lots of options and not much translation. Tacos were served up quick on two corn tortillas with a bar of toppings available. I love the pico, tons of cilantro and two types of salsas, hot and mild. And black label Valentina on each table. My tastebuds have been tweaked, the asada was hands-down knockout, although the chorizo was delicious as well. I can't wait to return for more of that mouthwatering flavor. read more

This place is awesome, the food is fresh, authentic and the prices are unbeatable! My husband loves the menudo, big bowl for 8$ (red chili soup with meat from the cow's tummy) my daughter and I like the quesadillas and gorditas. The carne asada quesadilla is huge made on a gigantic corn tortilla over filled with meat& cheese topped with sour cream and lettuce for 4$. The gorditas are equally delicious, it's like a thick corn tortilla but stuffed with beans, meat of choice, lettuce fresh cheese and it's crunchy exterior, also 4$. If you are ever in that area do yourself a favor and stop and visit this place, they are fast and food is delicious! read more

Love this place. Very authentic food. Fresh and delicious. Very good service. Wide variety of food.

I brought two new colleagues to Super Tac today. As per usual, they loved it and were amazed at the value. Six tacos for just over 6 bucks. Okay, you order 3 tacos, but since they use two tortillas per taco and enough meat to separate each taco into a pair...it might as well be six... then hit the toppings bar to top them off. Today I had lamb, brisket, and beef short rib. And if that sentence doesn't move you, I just don't know you anymore. read more

I absolutely love these tacos and this place. Mexican food is sometimes tough to evaluate because the ingredients are so similar at lots of different places, but I think the ingredients are what sets Super Taqueria apart. They have great quality, flavorful meats and they keep it fresh - you can only get carnitas on Saturdays and Sundays. The salsa is fantastic and you can get as much as you want. You can tell the tortillas are special and they're actually enjoyable to eat. They don't skimp on portions, you can't beat the prices, the restaurant itself is simple but welcoming, and I dream of their horchata daily. They now have a TV screen menu. Haven't tried any of the plates yet but I'm literally getting ready to go there for dinner as I type this, so maybe tonight is the night. Oh, and flan. They have flan and giant slices of cake. I could eat here every day. read more

Tacos are ok, no handmade tortillas though. I ordered a ceviche tostada and it wasn't good at all, tasteless. My husband ordered menudo and it was way too greasy and smelly . Won't be coming back here. read more

Very authentic Mexican food with a wide variety of meats. Unfortunately the power went out several times for a short duration during our visit, but the staff came around collected our receipts and did there best to get what they could out as quickly as they could. The empanadas and tacos were delicious. They also have a nice salsa bar. Will definitely be back for more tacos! read more

Been having a hard time finding good mexican food since moving out from California... this is as good as it gets. Soooooo tasty. Quesadillas are a little smaller from what I'm used to but amazingly good. Try the chorizo... Wet burritos are bigger than the regular burritos. Tacos dorados.... not what I was anticipating... taquitos. Tortas are gigantic!! read more

My GoD I live in Miami and spent some time in Durham last week. The BEST tacos have had period. Don't change a thing keep up the good work!

Food: 4.5 Ambiance: 2.5 Food/Price: 5.0 Walking up to Super Taqueria on a pristine stretch of Roxboro fills one with the warm nostalgia of discharged 9mms, oily chop shops, and clandestinely quaint amphetamine based transactions. But if you can get past all the heart warmy feels you will be more than pleasantly surprised by this authentic Mexican gem. Tacos is all I've eaten here so I can only speak to their superior quality, but to give you an idea of how good the chorizo, asada, and assortment of sauces are some context helps. Within four hours of eating these mouth-watering meat pockets an all out digestive assault was launched on both my upper and lower intestines, a rosy experience that only gets better when you consider the average Scoville rating of their offerings. And this happened not just the first, second, or third visit. I actually endured this peristaltic barbarism four times before finally developing some sort of flora immunity. But oh was it worth it, bullet proof bowels in tow Super Taqueria is now part of my regular line up. Bottom Line: The best tacos in the triangle and possibly the cheapest. *Note* About 50% of people who eat there notice this same trend, the other 50% seem to possess an inherent immunity. read more

All the following judgements are based on my experience and own opinion. Locations: In the middle of nowhere. It is close to a mexican grocery store. I have to say, if you do not look for this place intently, it maybe hard for you to realize that such a hidden gem exist in this neighborhood. Parking: Really confusing to me. Do be misguided by the vacant space behind the restaurant, because it is said that "IT IS PRIVATE" and "TOWING ENFORCED" without stating which property it belongs to. I guess it's a risk to park in this area. I instead just park on the road and pray that nothing will happen. Service: nice, friendly Food: ATTENTION: THIS IS THE BEST PLACE FOR TACO, SOPE! I fall in love with their sopes. Taco is also well balanced, even though I am not a fan of taco, I still eat 3 tacos! And they have salsa place for you to choose two spice sauce (green and red), two vegetable choices, and something else I did not remember. And it is free to refill those sauces. Sanitation: It is really clean and I saw their staffs voluntarily clean up the whole areas multiple times during my stay. I appreciate it! Plus: they have open kitchen so you basically can see their cooking process. Overall: It is a six star rating. The king of taco, and sope. And the price is cheap too. I will come back, I promise! read more

One of the best taco places in Durham. It's cheap, it's really good and service is quick. We got 6 tacos, 2 giant agua frescas, a coke, and a huge piece of tres leches cake for less than $20. It's inexpensive for a reason: it's not catering to the "white people" aesthetic. The menu is not translated to English and the orders are called out in Spanish. This is a place for Latinos, so if you want trendy decor with an English menu of typical Tex-Mex, go elsewhere. If you want to eat great tacos while watching soccer and listening to bachata, this is your joint. Some tips: when you walk in check out the agua Fresca flavors first - they are in the giant white buckets with a label in front of each flavor that day. Then go to the cashier and the menu is on the wall, order your food (and I highly recommend the agua Fresca). After you pay go get the agua Fresca and show the person your receipt. They will call out your order number in Spanish. read more

This place is AMAZING. I finally got off my butt and went with a friend. We went just to try the tacos. Tacos are 1.50 a piece. We each ordered three, but two were more than enough! As reviewers have noted, your options for taco fillings include the standard chicken, pork, and beef. There is one taco that was described to us as an assortment of meats. I passed on that, but my friend got it and said it was wonderful. My favorite was the chicken tinga tacos. The salsa bar is pretty straight forward, but really, how many options do you need? I put salsa verde on everything, and it was great. Additionally, the other customers who were in there were super friendly. Everyone was pretty much talking and saying hi to everyone else - including us. The table over from us seemed excited we were there and said we would enjoy our tacos. They also helped us identify when our meal was ready. When you order, you get a number. Numbers are called out in spanish. We were a bit slow on the uptake. The family next to us helped make sure we got up when our numbers were called, and we all got a laugh out of our difficulty to count beyond 10 in spanish fluently. Just a nice experience all around. read more
