Asada southwest taco to go
Reese T.

I just came for the first time and ordered an asada southwest taco and it was amazing. It was like 4 bucks which is in my opinion a little more than I have paid in other places but the taco was loaded and taste great I also got the lunch ACP and it was also delicious but I liked the taco more lol.

Barbacoa &  chicken tacos. Delicious!
Janice U.

I had the barbacoa and chicken tacos (1 of each), the free chips and salsa, and a Jarrito soda. No complaints at all. Service was VERY quick and everything was fresh and tasty. The dining room was also very clean and staff was friendly. Can't wait to come back to try the huarache.

Burria tacos
Lexi L.

3 ! I found this gem in Kannapolis. Who doesn't love a good taco joint! Taco express is a cute taco spot in Kannapolis which is right outside of the Queen City, Charlotte. A nice quaint spot. This place seemed very homely, an out the way spot in the cut that u enjoyed my time at. I got chips and salsa upon sitting down. The salsa was pretty good. I ordered some quedo dip as an appetizer. I will say that the dip cake out colder than expected but the waitress was super nice and gave us another one heated. For my entree, I had the Burris tacos that were a menu special. I keep seeing these all over IG so of course I finally had to try them. They were pretty yummy. I only ordered two since I wasn't super hungry but they usually come in threes and with a lot of cheese. (I ordered mine with light cheese and thankfully they honored that.) my friend ordered the southwest burrito and tore that thang up! I also tried horchata for the first time. It was really good. It gave me the milk after eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch vibes. If in the area, I'd def come check this place out again.

Vegetable Huarache
Sof G.

Authentic, delicious food and welcoming staff. Will definitely be coming back. The vegetable huarache is a generous portion of flavorful sautéed veggies over a crispy masa dough. Very filling and good option for vegetarians. We tried tacos with alpastor, lengua, and barbacoa. The meats were fresh and well seasoned. Barbacoa was a favorite, it was juicy and perfectly cooked.

Tacos, tamales & jalapeno
David C.

I ordered wonderful chorizo tacos and tamales. The service was quick and the food perfect. I was very happy the charred, fresh jalapeño was included. With a side of rice & beans, I'll definitely be returning. https://youtu.be/3fpxadj9ofY Chorizo Taco

2 chicken tacos and a chicken tamale

Definitely a breath of fresh air after having some other Latin restaurants in the area. I moved here from south Florida we had some great food. So i was very happy to find this place. I love the corn , tamales , tacos and really all of it. Give it a try you won't be disappointed

We walked in on a Sunday night around 6:00. We were the only ones in this hidden gem. Living so…read moreclose I'm so mad we haven't found this place before today. Quesabirria spring rolls - Holy smokes. Why is nobody else doing these?!? 10/10 Catrina Burrito - shrimp, steak, and chicken smothered in a mole/cheese sauce combo. The size of my fore arm. 10/10. Chicken chimichanga - loaded with chicken fried perfectly with a crispy crust. Smothered in cheese sauce. 10/10 They make everything fresh here so we missed out on the Quesabirria special but the owner heard us asking about it and brought out an order of the Quesabirria spring rolls and smoked BBQ egg rolls to try. Server was very warm and knowledgeable. I just hate that we were the only once's lucky enough to be enjoying this place tonight. This should be a destination spot for all of Charlotte-Salisbury. PS - inside decor was great and pays tribute to Kannapolis history. These guys rock and know exactly what they are doing.

I really wanted to like this place. Very well drawn murals on the walls, decent service, cheap…read moretacos on Tuesdays, Good Mexican beers on draft and a not the run of the mill menu. Unfortunately, the food was bad. The chips and salsa were bland. The taco meat was dry and bland. The refried beans and rice were bland. The cheese enchiladas and tostadas were bland. Are you seeing a theme here? Maybe they think Gringos prefer bland food? I'm not sure but Mexican food can be a lot of things but it should never be bland. Oh well, at least I got to try practicing my Spanish!

I was visiting NC from NYC and was looking for a place to grab a quick bite with a friend who just…read moremoved out here. After sifting through like 20 options, just picked here and I'm so happy she did! BirriTaco is a cute and fun spot. The decor is of skulls, flower walls, and blackboards where you can write your name or a note. It's a It has a small parking lot in the back and there's also some street parking. We walked in just before 3pm on Saturday and it was fairly empty. A few other tables did come in after us but it was still pretty slow (or maybe I'm just used to the business of NYC restaurants). We were greeted and seated by Angel, who was also our waiter. He was quiet and reserved but very attentive. He checked on us frequently to make sure we had all we needed. Drinks: they have sooo many good options to choose from it was hard! We decided to go with the margarita flights that come with 4 flavors of your choice and there's a lot to choose from! We tried 6 different flavors (see pics) and all of them were REALLY good! I think the guava might've been my favorite but it was a tough choice. Food: they give u chips and salsa on the house. The chips are a little different; it's 4 big circular chips, they don't exactly taste like regular chips but I liked it. My friend had the Caribbean bowl and asked if she could get it with Al pastor instead of the meat options offered and they accommodated her request. She enjoyed her bowl but did say maybe she shouldn't have gotten the al pastor after all lol she thought the pork would've been shredded instead. I went for the tacos. I was so excited that they had chicken birria tacos cuz everywhere usually just sells it with beef which I don't eat. I also had an Al pastor taco. The Al pastor was good but just a bit dry, it was just missing some sauce but the flavors were good. The chicken birria tacos were amazing! The broth was the perfect cherry on top. The chicken was seasoned well and they had just the perfect amount of cheese. They were sooo good I had to order another one and my friend decided to order one of the beef birria tacos as well. While I don't eat beef it looked soo good! My friend loved it and it had an amazing cheese pull (see video). If I lived out here this would def be one of my favorite places! I will definitely go back whenever I come visit. While $5.25 is a bit much for 1 taco, man those birria tacos were worth every bit of it!
