    This place don't deserve a single star. I found them on Google and went because of the positive reviews plus their $2 taco online special. I ordered 4 tacos (carne asada) tacos not only they advertise wrong prices but also their food taste nasty! I got greased up tortillas that had a weird flavor and the meat had no flavor whatsoever. Also got watered down salsa in small plastic containers barely halfway filled. Waste of time and money. My order went straight to the garbage! go buy tacos somewhere else this place is not it.

    Steak Taco

    The steak tacos are delicious with lots of flavor. Make sure you get cilantro and onions.

    This is one of the best taco spots I've been too! The sizes of the tacos are a bit bigger than the usual street tacos. I got three tacos two chicken and one al pastor for $8. The only downside is that I wish the al pastor had pineapples on it. Other than that, these tacos were flavorful and filling! I didn't wait too long to get them and I went on a Saturday around noon ish. The employees were nice and efficient. 5/5 recommendation!

    Best tacos I've had in ages! Flavorful and fresh at a reasonable price: $2.5 each. Had 3 of the steak tacos and left full. Will be back again!

    Amazing! These are delicious, authentic, Mexican tacos! You must try the al pastor and chorizo tacos. It's a food truck in a gas station parking lot off of Glenwood. I park my car along the side and get out to pay. Currently, you can't tip on a card, so I'd bring cash for a tip. The tacos are $2.50 (I haven't had any of their other food items). I've been a few times and can't wait to get back!

    This place was a little too authentic for me with the texture of the homemade shells but I definitely appreciate the price @ $2 a taco

    Dial up some taco masters.

    There's only one place in Raleigh that's so good I'll eat it in the front seat of my car, parked in a gas station parking lot _ Tacos Abarca. It's a food truck that's typically parked in front of the Valero at 6200 Glenwood Ave. in Northwest Raleigh. I would never call myself a taco truck expert, but this is the best of several where I have eaten in Durham or Raleigh. The pastor and asada both stand up to the corn tortillas, cilantro, onions and other toppings to make the flavor of the meat come bursting through. The prices are reasonable _ $2 per taco _ and posted on the side of the truck so you know exactly what you're getting. The service is fast and friendly, and it usually attracts a line of customers at lunch time. Its positioning on Glenwood Avenue has given me a good alternative to other restaurants near my office. And even if I'm heading toward Chipotle or Chili's on the same side of the road, chances are I'll stop at Abarca before I get to the next place! The same owners appear to also operate a second truck emblazoned with "Taqueria Abarca." My photos of the Glenwood location show some of the lunch crowd approaching to place their order!

    This is a food truck on Glenwood Avenue. I came across this randomly while I was stopping for gas. I was actually heading to get something to eat but I needed gas. Killed two birds with one stone. $2 tacos. CASH only. The tacos were really good. I got 3 deluxe tacos asada. Regular tacos come with cilantro and onions. The deluxe tacos are 50 cents more and include cilantro, onions, cream cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and shredded cheese. Full of flavor!

I remember it being really different before they remodeled. The inside is so nice now. Big and open. They have great line management--you order and pay for your food and then they bring it out to you. All of the food tastes authentic and comes out so fast. This place is great for groups as they have a ton of big open seating and they turnover the place really fast. You get your own drinks and bus your own table. They have a salsa bar where you can get all kinds of different salsas for your entrees or chips. Horchata is on point. Parking lot is attached and free.

When you arrive, there is plenty of parking around the building, and entrances in the front and on the right side. Once inside, you'll walk up to counter and place your order. Your then given a order number and it's open seating. Your number will be called out in Spanish when your food is ready and you'll pick it up at the counter. I ordered an al pastor taco which unfortunately was not good. It came out extremely cold and needed a lot of salsa for it to have any flavor. I also ordered a steak burrito which was much better and was served with melted cheese on the top. There were fatty pieces throughout the burrito but this was far better than the taco. Lastly, I ordered a horchata but it tasted like grainy and wasn't great. If I'm in the area again I may give this a try but I'd definitely stick with a burrito so your food is hot.
