The service was great - very friendly and accommodating. I had the tacos - beef tongue, beef cheek and pulled pork. They were tender and delicious with all of the perfect fixings. My husband had the chicken fajitas, and the flavor was exceptional. We can't wait to get back and try some more items on the menu. read more

Taco Riendo - Beef tongue, shredded pork, beef cheek tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Seneca, South Carolina

OMG! Total dive location but the street tacos are amazing!! The pork carnitas were my fav and the guacamole was so fresh and good too!

Riendo was HOPPING between the dining patrons and the DRIVE THROUGH takeout window, and with good reason. Food was great, service was fast and friendly. Great neighborhood Mex with good food, substantial portions. (Kinda wish my portion wasn't so substantial, but Pollo Fondido was yummy.) read more

This should be your first and final stop for top notch, 'authentic' Mexican grub in Oconee. After spending a little over a decade in Los Angeles, the thing I missed most upon returning was my beloved taco stand. I miss no more! $2 a pop for chorizo, pollo, asada, puerko, carnitas, etc. tacos is a wonderful deal. They even have cheek and tongue for those seeking something even more legit. The menu boasts far more than tacos but for your money, they're your best bet. My only complaint is that their horchata machine has been down forever... and I really like horchata. Beyond that, I have nothing but praise for these guys. Delicious, reasonably priced food. If you're in a hurry you should skip the drive-through, though. Especially if there's someone ahead of you. read more

Two words... LOVED IT! I consider myself a Mexican food expert. I searched for over an hour online and on yelp specifically to find the right Mexican spot while in town. I have high standards and was scared I wouldn't be able to find what I was looking for in a small town. We could not have been more pleasantly surprised for a couple of foodies who love Mexican and who spent quite a bit of time together in the D.C. restaurant scene. First, the chips, salsa and cheese dip. Chips were average but did come out warm. Salsa had good flavor and lots of bright fresh flavors. It is not a pico de gallo style. It is a smoother and more well blended style. I was very pleased with the cheese dip. It was fresh (didn't have the film on top that makes it clear it has been sitting) and had the perfect flavor. It was good and creamy and seasoned perfectly, not bland at all. Drinks- we were very pleased with our beverages. I was relieved that yelp had it wrong and that they DO serve margaritas and not just beer and wine. The drinks were a good size and the prices were fair. My fiancée was happy that they offered dos equis amber and I was excited that they offered a texas margarita (nicer/higher end liquor and significantly stronger than traditional). I can't speak for their traditional rita but they did not skimp on the Texas style. Perfect! Entrees- we decided to share a few things so that we could try more. We got the chori pollo (chicken breast and chorizo covered in cheese sauce and served with rice and lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream) and a selection of a la carte tacos from the authentic menu on the back. The chori pollo was to die for. My fiancée couldn't stop talking about it. The chicken was incredibly tender and was seasoned to perfection. The combination of that with the cheese sauce and the chorizo couldn't have been better. I was even impressed with their presentation and the quality of the rice. The three tacos we chose were the chorizo, cheek meat and carnitas. I loved that they used corn tortillas that seemed to be hand made for the tacos. They also brought you two bottles of house sauces to use. We didn't try the green one but that's because we tried the other one and loved it so much we couldn't make ourselves switch. The sauce was smoky with a touch of spice. The chorizo taco was good but since we already had chorizo in our other dish it was kind of overkill. The cheek meat was impressively tender and flavorful. The carnitas were also quite good. They were not as heavily seasoned as I am used to but when we added the sauce it made up for it and rounded it out. The restaurant itself was kind of small and we did have to wait for a table. They also offer drive through service which I thought was odd. The staff was very friendly, helpful and patient especially considering that we were newbies to the place and didn't know the menu and that we are still in the honeymoon stage and are "that" annoying couple who sits on the same side of the booth, does goo goo eyes constantly and are heavy on the PDA. I did wish the menu had more thorough descriptions of the way items were prepared but I went with things I was familiar with so it was fine. We will, without a doubt, recommend this place and be back again. read more

See all

Best damn tacos outside of Mexico! Skip the regular menu and go straight to the traditional menu! Three tacos and a Dos Equis for $8 during happy hr. They accidentally brought out a different taco than I ordered and without a word brought me the correct one for free. Ventured out and tried the cheek meat taco and was pleasantly surprised. They also had beef tongue and tripe tacos if that's your thing, the chorizo and pulled pork are more my speed . I didn't care for the margarita but with cheap beer who cares. If I lived here I probably wouldn't spread the word, it's really that good. --T read more

This was my second visit here and the place is awesome! Grilled fish tacos out of this world. Carnitas burritos were very fresh. This is definitely the go to place for Mexican food in Seneca!! read more

First visit here was great a bit awkward staff not very family but I over look it and thought they had great food. 2nd my order taken wrong again staff gave me attitude now 3rd time my husband and order a asada burrito instead got a asada plate we got thinking they got order confused but they said my husband order it. And would charge me extra if I wanted burrito. Avocado that was added to this asada plate was rotten just disgusting I will never again come here. If they can't understand a mexicana or my white husband. I don't know what to say besides I will never go there. read more

Taco Riendo - Mexican Near Me - Seneca, South Carolina

This is a great family restaurant for any occasion. Delicious food for a decent price! They also have a drive thru which makes it very convenient during COVID-19. The entire staff seems to be taking the right precautionary measures by wearing Masks as well as gloves. read more

Pretty authentic. Loved the salsa bar. Fast service. I liked all the chunky vegetables.... The husband, not so much.

Food was amazing!!! Service was great! Best shrimp fajitas ever!!! We had other people in our party also that was very happy with their meals. read more

This place is legit! Try their tripe, cheek, or tongue tacos, delicious, but one of my favorites is the chorizo and egg taco. Their poblanos are also excellent. Always a ton of food for very cheap!!! The Texas style Margaritas can be dangerous though! read more

First time there today and love the ACP. You can totally share it! Chicken was tasty. Rice was moist and flavorful. Salsa and chips were good. It was very busy and had to wait but it was Cinco de Mayo at lunch time so it was expected. Will totally come again! read more

The food has gone way down. Dirty glasses, plates and food has fallen to a all time low for me. I will not go back.

Me and my four girls loved it. I had a good size ribeye steak fries and salad and for it not being a steakhouse the steak had great flavor. Two of my daughters had Texas fajita and my wife and my other daughter had different things. We all left full and satisfied with the price. read more

Really great! I live in California and I liked the food. Good guacamole and great hot sauce.

Great service and tasty food! Prices are fair and the beer is cold. Definitely my choice for Mexican food in the area. Facilities are deceivingly nice. The restaurant looks small from the outside, but is plenty big enough once you go in. I will definitely be back! read more

This is by far the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten at. The food was blah no taste, how can Mexican food have no taste? Well this place sure nailed the bland food. I was expecting spice but got tasteless. Everything ordered was soggy, from the taco, enchilada, tostada to the rice and beans. The only saving grace was the cheese dip ... but come on how could anyone mess that up. I will defiantly say major fail on food, service and décor. read more

We decided on Mexican tonight so we went to Taco Riendo. We had eaten there before so decide to try it again. We usually go to Puerto Nuevo which is about 4 miles away. They both have the same menus and I ordered the El Burro de la Roqueta. It was good and I enjoyed the meal. The place is a little smaller that Puerto Nuevo but the service was good and it was a good meal. read more

Excellent flavor, good prices, and service with a smile. I will definitely be going back soon.

This is good mexican. I will be back to try many items from the extensive menu. It might be wise to ask about the spiciness of the food if you don't like very hot. However the tacos are pretty mild and so are the enchiladas. The food is delicious and the wait staff is friendly. Our waitress explained lots of things on the menu clearly and willingly. The one thing they could change is to relocate the dirty dishes bus trolley away from the front door. It is generally unappetizing and leaves a bad first impression. Fortunately the food is good and the restaurant is overall fairly clean. We visit Seneca once every couple of weeks and will be back repeatedly. read more

I like the Carnitas tacos. It's similar to pulled pork. This place is the closest to the taco trailers I miss in Texas, but this place is a little better. The staff is friendly and they have a frequent diner punch card. read more

Food always hits the spot, if we want either one of their menus. Quick service, most of the time friendly. Great margaritas too! If you're new to Riendo they have a salsa bar up front, they sometimes forget to tell you. Good for sit down, take out, or drive through! read more

Great food. Love the salsa. Staff is friendly. Chicken fajitas was well seasoned. Sometimes I put salsa on fajitas but they were good without it. If I'm back n this area I'll definitely come back! read more

We were amazed to find such good food in the middle of nowhere/Seneca SC. Carne Asada was one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Seneca. read more

Stopped on the way to Asheville. Ordered from the traditional menu --an assortment of tacos and the ceviche tostada. Fantastic. Really, really fresh. Food served hot. Sauces served cold. Big slices of beautiful avocado on the tostado. Lots of cilantro. Plated with caramelized onions, limes, and pretty radish slices. Clearly, the locals love this little place; it was packed. I can see why. read more

Authentic family food from Mexico. Love the food. It's always prepared correctly and in a timely manner. Love the staff. They are warm, friendly and kind. My go to item to order is the Burritos Mexicano and a large fruit water like horchata. Great to pick up a bag of real tacos or for a nice sit down full meal. Thank you to Taco Riendo for their hard work at making a restaurant that has stayed good for years now. read more

The cheese dip is was very good. I love the salsa and how fresh it is. The tortillas is always warm. The el burro la roquetta is always prepared well! Kids get the shredded chicken nachos. We enjoy the food and service!! read more

Just moved to the area & was looking for a fresh & authentic Mexican restaurant. So glad I found it here! Lots of choices with big flavor & not slathered in cheese. Prices are great & portion size is large. I challenge you to try something new like the octopus tostada or grilled cactus or the cubana torta through the drive thru window if you're shirt in time. read more
