Tacos Nayarit - Birria tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I have been a frequent visitor of Tacos Nayarit in the past. This visit visit was no different than all my other visits. The food is always spot on and fresh! They make your dish right in front of you. You order cafeteria style and shells are cooked (corn) or flour tortillas are warmed. The service is always fast and pleasant. I have rode right by because they have been slammed packed the last few times, so I know they are still pushing out a great product. The restaurant has authentic Mexican colors and decor. It is clean and welcoming. They also have patio seating and picnic tables in the front of their building. Go....walk, don't run! If you haven't been, you must try them out! read more

Barbie is my favourite thing to EAT She's perfect from her prissy mani to her famous FEET But when I'm in Columbia and feeling BEAT I always get Mexican from Tacos NAYARIT! The food is f***ing awesome and service is SWEET They're the nicest Mexicans you're likely to MEET They're fast and friendly and their toilet is DISCRETE So get your meal in SC from Tacos NAYARIT! WHAT What we have here is quite simply one of the best Mexican restaurants I've had in the whole country. I was not expecting to say that - not even a little bit - but it really is that good. So much so that I'll be taking my Mexican pornstar here if we're ever driving past Columbia in future - which I'm sure at some point we will be. To say I'm a big fan would be an understatement, because both the service and the prices are about the best they could possibly be. Nothing short of amazing. And do not get me started on the food, because it is so amazing that it makes me wonder why I haven't been eating a lot of Mexican food lately. Then I look at my bloated tummy and remember why I stay away from Mexican. But this food is worth the calories - it's just incredible. As opposed to inedible like most Americanized places are. Specifically: The gordita was spectacular. The co-pay was wonderful. I mean Sope, because co-pay is pretty much never wonderful. The taco was perfection. The girl here told me which taco to get and she was right. I can't even decide between the three although if you put a gun to my head I'd probably pick the gordita - like my Barbie, who is a gordita - but they're all perfect. The gordita just keeps all the juices inside (not like my Barbie), and keeps everything hot a little longer (like my Barbie) so that might be why it's my favourite, but they're all phenoms. Service was just as good as the food. They make beautiful looking mangonadas here as well, which actually make me want to drink a mangonada - which is not like me at all. All of their meats are wonderful - especially the wonderful greasy gorgeous pastor and the Carnitas are excellent if a little fatty but not in a Grizzly way at all, in a very tender way - and the carne asada is not that tender but very juicy and tasty and "Fresh Off The Grill" tasting, in a wonderful way. A lot of the meats sit around in their own juices which just makes them wetter and better and sexier than ever. So what we have here: One of the best Mexican restaurants in the country hidden away in Columbia. The reviews suggested that it could be, but I thought maybe they were fake because they were too good. Nope - it's the food, the service, and the prices that are too good! If there is only one negative - and there is only one - it is that the horchata is not very good. Someone said it was the best they ever had? Hmm, well maybe it's the only one they've ever had LOL. I'm not huge on the drink as much as I used to be, but it's not one of my favourites of the ones I've had. However another glowing positive is that the food is ready almost immediately which is not the case at most homemade delicious Mexican restaurants, quite the opposite normally. Yet here they manage to put out some of the best Mexican products and still have it be as cheap as a motherf***er. And as quick as a motherf***er. If motherf***ers are quick, I'm not sure, honestly. So, a wonderful system that they have down and I will be back here many times in my life. I hope so anyway - it's just that Columbia is not a place I get to very often LOL. But if you Nayarit here, you'll never know how good it is. read more

I've been to the Tacos Nayarit restaurant before and it was just okay, so I wasn't sure what I was expecting at this taco truck. I ordered a to-go order through the phone of 3 tacos: carne asada, al pastor, and lengua. They were out of tripe and chiccharones which were both tacos I wanted to try, but it was a Wednesday so I understood. I got to the taco truck around 6PM and it was empty. The woman in the truck didn't acknowledge me or say anything the whole time, she only gave me my food and took my money. I wasn't surprised at the lackluster service, but I also didn't expect much from the tacos. The tacos came in a large togo box along with radish slices, lime slices, grilled serrano chilis, and red sauce. There was a lot of meat, cilantro, and onions in the tacos. As I took a bite, I realized what they lacked in service and selection, they made up in flavor. The steak was not bad, but the lengua and al pastor were amazing. The lengua was a literally overcooked, making it a bit mushy, but the flavor on the tacos were some of the best I've had. The al pastor was so juicy and flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised. I can't wait to come back on a weekend and try the tripe and chicharron flavors! read more

Service was good and the food was even better. chorizo tacos and birria tacos were amazing 10/10 would recommend.

Service was quick and fast. FOOD IS DELICIOUS!! The queso was fresh and hot and so were the chips. The birria tacos were

Tacos Nayarit - Birria tacos, AMAZING !!!!!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I love there food truck on decker. Really good food. I love their Al pastor. Y'all need to try it.

"Tacos Nayarit" apparently isn't a food truck anymore. It's a standalone restaurant with an outdoor patio and parking, and credit cards are accepted. The address on Yelp is also incorrect. It is located on Percival, toward one of the Fort Jackson's entries. They have the popular Mexican staples, such as tacos, burritos, tortas, gorditas, quesadillas, tostadas and etc. Guests line up at their "assembly one" so he or she can see the the food made-to-order. There are also "torta especiales" available, meaning the protein combinations are pre-set. I had the "torta Tijuana," which included chorizo, frijoles, and huevos. For $8 per torta, I wouldn't say the price was great since I'm from Chicago and authentic Mexican taquerias are filled in almost every corner in the city neighborhoods. With that being said, I can head to Little Village and have a torta for under six (6) bucks. Well, we were speaking of the food scene in Columbia, SC. In my opinion, the size of the torta here was large enough to justify the cost. It was also nice to customize my torta the way I wanted. I asked for queso, cebollas, tomates, and some guacamole in the bread. The gentleman offered to cut it in half for me. Be careful the aluminum foil when you're about to take a bite of the torta, unless you don't mind having it in your system. On the other hand, their aguas frescas were decent; the horchata was a bit sweet for me. I've seen a good number of Mexican restaurants opening up in the soda city in recent years. I was glad that I gave "Tacos Nayarit" a try this afternoon. read more

Super long line. It is kind of like Subway or Chipotle, where you have to tell them what you want on your food. Personally, I don't like that model. I would rather just pick a thing and then have them make it. The tacos I had were good enough. I'd try it again. read more

This place rocks! Everything is great .. the employees are super nice and the food is fresh and perfectly cooked! I wish I remembered the name of the tacos I had there but they are grilled (the whole taco) stellar!! I'll try to do a review update next times we go lol read more

Amazing, family owned and operated. Tacos Nayarit brings a fresh, clean, and modern take on authentic Mexican Cuisine. Whenever I'm craving tacos, burritos, nachos, and everything in between, this is my go to spot! read more

I love this place. The food is sooo good! Love that you can purchase tacos individually so you can get 1 or you can get 5. Really good good.

One day my Four of my colleagues wanted to go to lunch, and we decided to go to Tacos Nayarits outside of gate 4 of Fort Jackson, and I've always seen a lot of cars there but never stopped to check it out, but on this day, WE DID! I ordered two birras, and they were AMAZING! I came back the next day by myself and ordered three more! read more

They've opened a "brick and mortar" location, but they've kept the truck going. We've gone to both once. I think the truck is better. More selection of meat, for one thing. The restaurant does not have lengua, buche, cabeza, tripa, salchicha, milanesa, or jamón, but the truck does. The meats are not kept in pans like at the restaurant, getting soupy over the heat. The only thing I can say negative about the truck is that it is cash only. Hit the ATM before coming, but don't bring a lot of money. You can have a full meal for $10 a person. read more

Tacos Nayarit - The menu - Food Trucks Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I'm a bit obsessed with tacos (and fried chicken) at this point in my life. Traveling to Colombia for business my coworker and I found ourselves at Tacos Nayarit. Absolutely delicious and flavorful food! My tacos were Asada, chorizo, and Pollo, and all three meats were really fantastic...I think the chorizo had a touch of cinnamon. I kept toppings simple because that's how I roll, but they have pretty much anything you could want. Co workers had quesadilla, which he really enjoyed. Friendly, clean, fast, cool environment and very modest prices. You have every reason to try this place! read more

The food is good & authentic a 5. Just beware, the price that's listed in the restaurant on their big menu board is not what they charge. If you bring it to their attention, they'll tell you, we haven't updated our prices. EG:If you buy a shrimp taco combo, they will charge you a higher amount. They will charge you individually like 4.69 each for tacos rather than 3 for $12.50. Keep saying I can't change the price & pretend to not really understand. Then added tax twice and lied and said that's what we do. Each time the price changes for the same menu items. Nice but staff need to be straight up. They make enough money to fix the menu prices if they're wrong. Overall they are pleasant. read more

This is my favorite place to get tacos in Columbia right now! I'm usually a carne asada girl, but their al pastor tacos are INCREDIBLE. I could probably eat at least ten, they're really flavorful. This place has also started selling chamoy candies which is really fun. Authentic and delicious! read more

Absolutely awesome Mexican cuisine, with the focus on preparation of dishes more inline with dishes from the Nayarit area of Mexico. They are always full to capacity whether inside dinning, patio(es) or on the elevated deck. Expect excellent food, hospitality and good times read more

I consider myself a taco lover!! (I mean who doesn't?) Tacos Nayarit are ah-maz-ing!!!!! I only eat corn tacos and theirs were perfecto! I had 3 tacos: pollo, pastor, and carne! The plátanos we're good as well. I wish they were sweeter and the mushy sweet ones. My only complaint would be the refried beans, they didn't seem to have much taste. Maybe add some sazón. Or a lot. Overall 2 thumbs up from me! Oh and the spicy red sauce is hotttttt and bomb.com read more

I moved to the South from out West and I have missed good Mexican food so badly. Every single restaurant I have tried in the last six years has made me want to cry. Tacos Nayarit was an end to my sorrowful search. We tried to get a variety of dishes and tried most of the meats, which were all excellent. The chips were served warm and crispy. Everything was fresh and flavorful; perfectly seasoned. The salsas are delicious. We won't bother to eat anywhere else in Columbia each time we visit. read more

Who would have thought that you'd find such awesome tacos in Columbia, SC of all places! Great price for incredible tacos. I think only $2 per taco. Nice selection of all the meats as well: head, tongue, chorizo, you name it they got it. Served the Mexican way on corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, radish, and hot sauce. About a 20 minute drive from downtown, but super worth it. Plus you can pick up some fresh veggies next door under the produce tent. Way way better than anything else Columbia (or SC or most of the south for that matter). Me gusta read more

Badass. Just... amazing. I loved all the tacos. I tried barbacoa (steamed beef), chicharon (crispy pork skin on top of soft pork belly braised), and asada (chopped flank steak). Hint of lime and they were amazing. The old hispanic lady is the sweetest. Be patient. Say please and thank you. Well worth it for 2 dollars a taco. 4 will fill you up for sure. For sure. Absolute recommend. read more

Tacos Nayarit - Food Trucks Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I am obsessed with authentic Mexican tacos. We had one taco truck in my hometown and I drove an hour and 25 minutes to get to it; and it's upgraded to a whole building So imagine my excitement when one was literally right off one of the Fort Jackson gates! I went for lunch with my husband, who is a picky eater, and he loved it. The food was fresh and hot, clearly not sitting out for a while like at Chipotle or Qdoba. And they had the most amazing horchata I've had since I moved to South Carolina a few months ago. The two sauces they have that you can add are amazing as well. I go at least once a week now read more
