We've been to this place 2 times. The 1st time we ate inside & the 2nd we used the drive-thru to pick up our to-go order. Our 1st visit was around dinner time and the place was packed. We were worried about finding a table for a family of 4 since the main seating area is not the largest & it was really busy. But a table cleared right after we ordered so it worked out. The service was warm and friendly. They have a good selection of food - we wanted to try so many things. I had the chicken, barbacoa, and al pastor tacos. My wife tried the vegetartian tacos. Our kids ordered the asada baked potato and the asada nachos. Everything was delicious and tasted authentic. We've eaten many good meals in Mexico and this food tasted as good & possibly better! It's been a while since we've been this excited and satisfied while eating a meal - everyone was so quiet devouring their food. Just driving up to the restaurant you can catch the awesome scent of delicious food working up your hunger. There's so much to like about this place. The workers are friendly. There's an app you can use to order ahead & have ready to pick up using the drive through. They have an awesome menu & delicious food. The churros & agua fresca are great. The main area is family-friendly, but there is a bar/more lively indoor area & outdoor seating where you can hang out with your friends while having drinks and good food. There is an energetic happy vibe here. We have added this restaurant as one of our top go-to places when we go out to eat. Our kids get excited when we tell them that we're going to eat here! This place is a hidden gem - I highly recommend trying it out! read more

We ordered the marinated pork street tacos and chicken quesadilla. The greasiness of the street tacos soaked through two paper plates and dripped on the table. Gross.... The chicken quesadilla was good, not remarkable. What is remarkable is how inexpensive the food was and how enjoyable it was to watch our food being made in front of us as we moved through the service line. Good sized portions, also. It's a very busy, noisy, family and a young people hangout. read more

Tap N Taco is serving up some top notch authentic tacos. It is a light in a dark area of D'arco Highway. When you come upon Tap N Taco you know something is happening. There is great energy. There are two sections: one for the full bar and sports watchers and the other for families, both with the great food. You have a variety of meats you can top tacos, quesadillas, nachos, and papas; all served up with speed and a smile. They are willing to make your personally requested adjustments to fit your needs. They have all the standard drinks, and also traditional horchatas and agua de jamaica (sweet and not very strong). We enjoyed everything we had including the asada, al pastor, shredded beef, birria, and the potatoes were a revelation (melt in your mouth and a great pairing for any of the meats). Come and enjoy! read more

The Barbacoa tacos are so good and the salsa has just the right amount of flavor and heat! Fast and friendly service in the restaurant and the bartenders are amazing, it gets busy and they always serve with a smile! read more

I'm so disappointed, for years I have regularly been eating here and today,we threw our food away and left, it was just awful. The tortillas were thin and dry, the fish tacos tasted like they sat out all day they had an overly fishy taste.The pastor was overly salty, tough and dry, the asada was also dry and had a burnt taste,and the nachos didn't have enough cheese. All in all just a bad experience. I would have been better off eating at Taco Bell. Sadly I can't recommend this place anymore. read more

Tap N Taco is probably one of the best tacos joint I ever visited in the greater ABQ area. It's a little put of the way for me towards Rio Rancho, but what I loved about the place was the expansive space (you could sit indoors and outdoor) and the super reasonably priced and tasty variety of tacos that you can order! Lots of parking spots and a great place to hang out casually with friends for sure. It does get busy so you may have to wait in line to order and pay at a cashier. But the food and chill environment is worth it. read more

All you can about this place is - Excellent! Food is fresh and very good. The atmosphere is lively, fun and relaxed. We came at lunch on Sunday and there was a huge line, but it moved fast. They have a bar next to the restaurant section. They have 10 tvs too read more

This is always a quick to go to place for good, but inexpensive food. The tacos are $2 each, but today we opted for the carna asada French fries and the carna asada baked potato with the works. I like extra butter and sour cream in mine. They prepare everything in front of you, so you know it has to be good. Quick and friendly service, and close to home. read more

Tap N Taco - Carna asada baked potato and carna asada French Fries - Tacos Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

What a find! We recently returned to New Mexico and have missed street style tacos. The atmosphere is exciting and offers a bar section for those interested. The process of order is quick paced to be ready! Everything looked super fresh and we love having a salsa bar to change up the flavors at each bite. The heat range on the salsas will meet everyone's needs. The seating can be a bit challenging if they are busy. The bar top isn't super comfortable but that's all that was available when we entered. read more

Tap N Taco - Carne Asada Taco's! - Tacos Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

I love Tap N Taco so much it's not even funny. The tacos are all $2 but with their size and quality I would pay whatever they wanted for them. They have the best fish and barbacoa tacos, and a drive through to pick everything up. I do suggest going inside, because not only do they have a HUGE salsa bar, but you can mod your items to your liking. I have tried pretty much everything, but my tops are as follows: a barbacoa quesadilla add grilled onions and sour cream and a few fish tacos mmmm I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!! From the person making your food (right in front of you may I add!), to the cashier, to the bartenders you couldn't have nicer employees. The agua de jamaica is perfect, and their micheladas and cocktails? Don't get me started. I could go on and on about their baked potatoes, the tender meat... but go see for yourself you won't be disappointed! read more

Who doesn't like $2 street tacos. It was our first time coming here. A friend of ours said food here is really good. We ordered different tacos, a quesadilla, and the baked potato. Their El Pastor taco was one of the best I've had in the ABQ area. The baked potato was really good after putting all the extras on from the salsa bar. Service was great, it all flowed well from getting in line, grabbing a tray, putting in your order, seeing your food prepared, put food on plate, and pay. We ate in the main area and not in the separate bar area where they had sports on the TV. It has a great theme on the interior. I would worn you, if you eat in the main area your clothes may smell from all the smoke from the cooking. I'm the end the food is worth it so enjoy yourself. We will definitely be back for more. read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile. Stopped in when we were in the area and really glad we did. No only were the tacos $2, they were quick, and so tasty. We got a variety, everything except the chicken this time. They were all delicious and there is a salsa bar. The drink bar looked good, but we didn't try anything this time either. Only complaint is seating inside is limited, but there is plenty of seating outside and more in the bar (but those are high tops). read more

Still haven't found a better red sauce. The flavor is delicious, and it has great heat. You may want to douse your taco in it since it tastes so good, but you will not be able to taste the food for a while if you do. (Worth it) read more

Chill Saturday with a little hair of the dog after the Fourth of July. First time trying the Michelada which is like a mix of a Bloody Mary and a choice of beer. I chose a Michelob Ultra since it's called a Michelada and it came with a rim of tajin and tajin straw. My nephew is a fan of the tajin straw so we had to get his own tajin straw. What great place with so many special drinks and happy hour specials. Service was quick and easy. We ordered at the bar and took our drinks outside on the turf at the picnic tables. What a great treat and definitely quenched our thirst. read more

This is an awesome stop for great food and drinks! The place is divided into a bar and a restaurant. However, you can carry your food into the bar area, but I'm not sure if you can carry your alcohol into the food area. The food is very much reasonably priced and very tasty! In authentic tasting treat for anybody that looks Mexican food. This is going to be one of our normal stops in the future! read more

Overall: The food is good and very well priced, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at Tap N Taco. Food: Tacos: For just $2, you get a taco with more meat than tortilla. The shrimp are battered and fried and super crispy. The al pastor was flavorful and had pineapples, but the meat was a little dry. Quesadilla with carne asada: Although their quesadilla is half the price of other restaurants, it is about half the size. I like that they actually grill the tortillas are brown and toasty. Service: 5 You order at the grill and wait for your food. Once it's ready and has been given to you, you go to the cashier to pay. Ambiance: 3 The restaurant has a lot of parking. There are tables in the restaurant and in the adjacent bar. My main gripe is that the restaurant needs better ventilation as it gets quite smoky/smelly. read more

I have to agree with the other reviews here, this place is a top taco joint here. I mean, the prices are super low, the food is so delicious, and the staff. SOOOOOOO friendly. We bring our 6 month almost everywhere, and they were super kind to her. The pork taco - amazing. The Quesadilla is just amazing flavor of cheese and whatever meat I had on it. The churro's, so tasty. The only thing I struggled was is the spice from the lowest spice salsa. I'mfrom the north, north north. Spice doesn't sit well with me sometimes. It was tasty tho. Overall, check this place out. It's awesome. read more

Thank you for fixing the problem with the tortillas that fell apart. We just had tacos for dinner and they're back to the good tortillas that hold together. And most of all thank you for listening to your customers. I'm sure I wasn't the only one unhappy with the tortillas you had switched to that were not so great. YOU'RE THE BEST!!! read more

$2 tacos!!! Yes please! They have a variety of meats and shrimp/fish! They salsa bar also had so many kinds of sauces! Each taco I had was juicy and flavorful! Service was quick and easy! Definitely will be back! They also have a another area which seems like a bar area that I will have to try next time read more

What a terrific surprise this place is! Had been driving past it for the last year and finally made the great decision to stop and check it out today! The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming and the people working there were super friendly and helpful! The food is prepared right in front of you and with all of the great choices, tough to decide where to start! I decided to try a combination of a fish taco, one with barbacoa, and one with asada. With the amazing selection of salsa toppings at a huge salsa bar, all three were scrumptious! Everything was very fresh and full of flavor! All in all, a great place to chill, have some great food, and a beer if you choose! Awesome place! Loved it! read more

Stopped here on our way home from balloon fiesta. It is counter service and they have a full bar. Food was good and service was quick. Place was packed too on Sunday afternoon. We got the shrimp tacos, asada tacos and asada nachos and I would recommend all of them. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again. read more

One of my favorite little taco places. I come here frequently and really enjoy their menu. Even if you don't like tacos, there is options for everyone. The only thing knocking this down a star is that the food quality isn't as consistent as I would normally like to see. Some days the meat is super dry, some days it's perfect. Other than that, some of my favorite asada tacos. read more

The freshest tacos you will ever have while sitting at the bar top. These tacos come loaded and for two dollars apiece that is very good compared to the way things are going at other establishments charging almost 5 dollars a taco or more. They have a very fresh salsa bar I would say, and they're cooking the tacos in front of everyone. It is very good. Love this place 10 out of 10. read more

Great for little street tacos. I tried 2 chicken and 2 asada tacos and both were good. They come with the fixings (cilantro and onion) if you want. You can ask for a jalapeño if you want that also. The salsas and everything else is self serve. We also got the asada fries which were a generous amount. Aqua Frescas available were melon, mango, and horchata. Would def come again. I like that you see them prepare the food in front of you as you order read more

Needed to talk with a couple friends on that side of town. Tap 'n Taco was a friendly atmosphere, clean, straight forward place. No wait staff, but come on is that why you go to a place like this. Sat outside on a great New Mexico day. Beer was good, one of friends had the chai tea. They have bakery items...even GF selection....and a drive-thru. The smell of the chicken tacos next to us was amazing & looked great. I decided I have to come back to eat here. Everything from the staff, drinks, & atmosphere will draw me back. read more
