Classic Mexican Street tacos. The salsa bar is very authentic. The tacos are very good and are great value. Don't expect much of a elegant dining experience. This is a typical Taqueria and nothing fancy. However, the tacos are excellent and it's worth popping by if you are a taco aficionado. These are not fancy tacos they're just basic street tacos that are affordable and delicious. read more

Place doesn't look like much from the outside (used to be a Sonic drive-in a long time ago), but on the inside it is clean, bright and the food is terrific and reasonably priced. More authentic Mexican than New Mexican. Don't miss Taco Tuesday. There's also drive-through if you're in a hurry. read more

The food was exceptional. The menudo is clean and tasty with just the right amount of chili spice. The caldo De Rez was excellent as well with a home cooked taste. The service was good. read more

Taco Tuesday is my favorite day to eat there but they don't have carné asada tacos. Boo! The service is great and their menu is pretty extensive too. read more

Amazing food and service! Definitely recommend. The horchata, birria tacos and burritos are my favorite.

This place is unassuming, I've passed by 1 million times. Very good. I wish they were a little more generous. I will try this place again.

Best vegetarian burrito! I get the veggie burrito with rice, beans, cilantro, onion and green Chile. It's under $6 and so so delicious! The staff is always friendly and helpful too. I highly recommend Taco Mex! read more

Great food, excellent service. We decided to go to the new Taco Mex y Mariscos on Southern in Rio Rancho. Today we did the drive through since we were in somewhat of a hurry to get home. Myself and my daughter ordered the Cocktail de camerones, and an watermelon Agua Frescas. Oh my goodness. Our cocktails were fresh, nice and chilled, with giant shrimp, diced cucumber, tomato, avocado, purple onion, radish, cilantro and lime juice. The broth was full flavored and a little spicy. It came with a packet of tapatio if you want it more spicy hot. And with lots of crackers. Good crackers too and lots. They were SO friendly at the drive through, like seriously they greet you with a smile and really good service. You just cant find mexican shrimp cocktails anywhere and these were so good, refreshing and flavorful. The veggies and shrimp were very fresh. We'll definitely be back to try more things. Next time were going to get the berria tacos! read more

Taco Tuesdays there is no better place to celebrate tacos than TacoMex. Have not tried other dishes yet but seen them served and they look great. read more

A little slow, but very tasty. Comforting tacos, rice, and beans. Worth the wait. The salsas are very good! read more

Prefer El Paisano Market or Baha Mexico restaurant over this place. Personal choice and taste decision.

We have tried several dishes here and they have all been amazing! The chile rellenos are just like my grandma's! Their Carne asada is so flavorful in all the dishes but their burritos are the perfect size and are always yummy! Heading there this morning to get burritos for our staff meeting to hopefully get more people to fall in love with them! read more

True Mexican. So good! Highly recommend. We had the asada tacos and ceviche tacos. The ceviche tacos are two for $6! They should do $6 per tostados . Don't sell your self short :) read more

Omg. Didn't get to really eat as had eaten already. I will come back just to try the food. Looks very inexpensive and just good food read more

Tacomex - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

There's a "4 taco 1 meat" limit, which is ridiculous in itself. The corn and flour tortillas were disappointing at best. The "bacon" breakfast burrito was Canadian bacon (wtf). The chicken on my quesadilla and chile cheese fries was unseasoned and kinda wet? The chile cheese fries were super watery and soggy. I was not allowed to pick my salsas (two salsa limit). I waited 25 minutes for this very over priced and underwhelming meal and I was the only person in the drive thru line. All of the food/salsa limits and disclosures are posted on the inside of the tinted drive-thru window. They aren't posted at the menu board where they would be helpful to the people ordering and they're incredibly hard to see through the tinted window. The staff were sterile and cold at best. I felt like I was in a psych ward not a drive thru. To the positive reviews: y'all okay? Will not be going back. read more

Excellent Mexican food. Perfect tacos . So delicious. Wonderful service. Friendly lady waits on you

"Back in my day, you could buy a pack of bubble gum for $0.05!" Well sorry gramps, those days are long gone. But you know what is surprising to me? $1.25 for a taco, and a good taco in fact. My days of hitting up the weekly stop by Taco Mex off fourth was long gone when I left my old job down in the area. To come out to eat tacos would now require a 20 minute drive. Thankfully, I happened upon a Tacomex now open in Rio Rancho. This place is an excellent reproduction of my old chomping ground off 4th street. The food is just as good and the restaurant is probably twice the size. They offer a wide range of options to suit your hunger cravings at any of the three meal times during the day. They have traditional Mexican but also feature seafood. The main attraction here is the $1.25 tacos. They may come off as small at first glance, but they are capable of getting this hungry man right here full. I usually go with 3 asada tacos and 3 al pastor tacos. I typically wobble out in satisfaction. The tacos may be small but they come with a huge helping of meat. The next time you are craving some good, Mexican food and are feeling like stretching that dollar, Tacomex is the place to be. read more

Tried this place since I was craving some tacos. And at $1.50 a taco, I was not gonna be heartbroken if they were terrible. But I was pleasently surprised at the flavors. I would of prefered them to be a tad bigger. And maybe packed in the foil a little better. But they were still really good. And THAT is what matters. I look forward to coming back in the future read more

Ordered some tacos from there on Saturday night. Took them home. The order was not complete. Ate the tacos and minutes later we were both very sick. Both me and my wife were very nauseous, had stomach cramps, and diarrhea. We almost took a trip to urgent care. Will never go there again. read more

It's a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. The are lots of choices. They include platters, burritos, and seafood. You can opt to eat in or get it "to go". I had a smothered chicken burrito. It was very tasty and not overly spicy. The chicken was very savory and tender. There weren't very many other ingredients but what they used was good. The sauce was cheesy and had some mild green chilies. There are also a variety of hot sauces at the table if you do feel like burning your stomach or mouth out. I will go here again just to check out the other plates. The prices are decent and this made for a very filling lunch. read more

This little gem popped up on my yelp so we decided to give it a try. Quaint little place. Good variety of food on the menu. We ordered enchiladas and 7 mares soup. Pleasantly surprised. Good portions. Very tasty Chile. Soup was very good as well. Definitely give this place a try if you are in the neighborhood. Will definitely return. read more

Like I didn't have enough of the street tacos from yesterday, I had a craving for them today. My wife and I decided to try tacos in the Rio Rancho area. We found two taco trucks off of Southern road and both were closed at the time. I discovered a restaurant right next door to El Paisano market called TacoMex. We thought, let's give them a try. They had multiple combination plates, shrimp dishes, Gordita, Torta and Tacos. I couldn't believe it, they had a longer list of different types of tacos. You get 5 tacos for one low price depending on which meat you get for all the tacos. My wife ordered her usual type which are Asada tacos. Now, I was very much excited that they had a variety and didn't see the words "same meat for all 5 tacos". I ordered 2 Al Pastor, 2 Buche (stomach & cheeks) and 1 Cabeza (head). The waitress couldn't believe I was going to eat 15 tacos then she stopped in mid conversation and stated no problem to me. My wife pointed to the sign about the same meat for all 5 tacos but the waitress was okay with giving me what I wanted at the time. It was a dream come true having to experience what a Buche and Cabeza taco tasted like. All the tacos come with onions and cilantro on them. The Buche taco tasted what I suspected as having a spongy and chewy texture to it. The Cabeza taco tasted something similar to a Barbacoa taco. Not what I was expecting. The Al Pastor taco was sweeter in flavor instead of it being tangy as I experienced yesterday from a Taco Truck. All in all, the experience was awesome. Definitely, a hole in the wall restaurant that you should try out. read more

Tacomex - This is a combination of Al Pastor (pork meat), Cabeza (head) and Buche (stomach & cheek) tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Simple location with lots of space but not much atmosphere. But if you're looking for great food at a very reasonable price ($1.50 street tacos!), who cares. Nice selection of salsa and other toppings (great fried onions), and very friendly and efficient staff. I thought my sopes were pretty bland, but my wife's chicken enchiladas were some of the best she and I had ever had - - the red chile was plenty piquant so I imagine the green chile would be out of this world. My sister had the chili relleno, which she said was excellent. Definitely a place I'll visit again next time I'm visiting ABQ. read more

I have tried several of their dishes and I absolutely love the food. The dishes are economical and very filling. The gorditas plate is fantastic and generous. My absolute favorite food here is the tacos de Tripa. It's hard to find a place that makes good tripas and these are the BEST!!! I know it's an acquired taste. The also have a great salsa variety- the red is my favorite. This place never disappoints. Oh don't forget to try the aguas frescas. The horchata is my favorite. read more

After reading several reviews, I decided to try this restaurant. You walk up to the counter, look at the various food selections pictured on the wall in front of you, place your order and pay. Your food is delivered to where you are seated. Simple enough. I usually order the chicken enchilada combo plate or the various incarnations of tacos. My first five or so visits were great. The food came out hot, generous helpings, good selections of salsas. What's not to like? Subsequently, this wonderful experience has gone downhill, from a 5 ***** experience, to at best a 3 ***. Why? There used to be paper towel rolls on each table/booth. Eating tacos is inherently a messy affair. Now there are no paper towels, but instead you are supposed to get paper napkins when your food is brought to where you are sitting. Inevitably, you are not given any and have to request them. Each. and Every. Time. The food comes out either very good or barely warm and not particularly fresh tasting. What used to be dependably delicious is now a crap shoot. But the thing that bothers me the most is I don't feel very welcome. I do not speak Spanish as do so many other customers. I am rarely greeted with a smile, my order is taken abruptly and sometimes even rudely, and I feel like my business is not appreciated. I have experienced this my last 4 visits and will no longer patronize this establishment. read more

First time here. I'd been wanting to try this place for a while now. Just glad I finally did. The restaurant is pretty spacious. I think that the mirrors inside the restaurant make it seem bigger. I did see that they do have a room in the back that maybe you can ask to reserve for a large party. Their menu is quite extravagant. So many choices! They serve different kinds of street tacos which are omg $1.25, that's what caught my eye! That is what I tried, since I love tacos! Who doesn't?! I also tried their red chili beef enchiladas plate. That was as delicious as the tacos. The tacos I tried were the pastor and the carne asada. They had onions and cilantro on them. I drizzled those tacos with their avocado salsa. There's something about that avocado salsa that just made the tacos much more delicious. As for the enchilada plate. It was a good sized portion, 2 beef enchiladas, rice and beans. I'm definitely going back to try more of the menu items. Maybe their gorditas or their breakfast items. This place is a must try! read more

We just ordered Tacomex through DoorDash, and have found our new favorite place in town. Wow! We got a sampling of tacos and while all were very good; the Chorizo and Pastor were out of this world. I can't wait to try them hot at the establishment. I also need to mention the refried beans. Oh my, legit frijoles made with lard. It's so hard to find good (non-New) Mexican food in NM and this place hits the spot. Go! read more

Best Horchata better than what I have around the area! And the el pastor tacos are bomb.

Nice little neighborhood place. First visit but will return Had enchiladas with beef and red. Very flavorful My companion had the tamales with red. Also a win. Very reasonable price. Was clean and simply appointed. Ordered to go took about 8 minutes to receive food. Fast and efficient Would recommend read more

I loved this place. Never had a problem. I ordered a total of 21 tacos and only got 16. I called thinking they would just give me the ones they forgot but the so called cook/ owner argued that it was correct. I wasted time and gas going back. Poor customer service. Please make sure your order is correct before you leave. read more
