Came in around 10pm with no expectation whatsoever - it was one of the best street tacos experience outside CA scenery. Asado, pastor, babarcoa, and queso birria, all were superb, and the tortilla chips (always expected to be greasy and stale as F) were the crown jewel. Great services from the staff, prompt and nice. The ratchetness of the area and old building it's in def added the authentic taqueria experience, and that unhoused gentlemen panhandling in/out of the restaurant nailed it for the wholesome experience. read more

Dined here on a Saturday around 12 PM. The drive-thru was busy as usual--this spot is open 24 hours, and there's always a steady flow of people coming through for their tacos. This was my first time dining inside, and I'm glad I decided to. The front counter staff didn't greet me when I walked in, but they were friendly when taking my order. The menu is extensive, with plenty of options like fish, shrimp, tacos, chimichangas, sopes, quesadillas, breakfast burritos, and even chicken nuggets for kids. Everything is clearly listed in English and easy to read, which makes ordering simple. They have a self-serve area with chips, salsa, cucumbers, and carrots, which I liked. After placing your order at the counter, they give you a number to take to your table. My food came out in about 10 minutes, and it was good as always. Overall, a solid spot with lots of variety and quick service. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu! read more

I went back to Taqueria Express again, and this time it was around 10:30pm. I wasn't sure what to expect that late, but the food was actually even better than the first time! I ordered three steak tacos on flour tortillas, and they hit the spot perfectly. The steak was juicy, flavorful, and freshly cooked--even at that hour. The tortillas were soft and warm, and everything was seasoned just right. You can tell they put care into their food no matter the time of day. I'm honestly impressed by the consistency and quality. This place is definitely becoming a late-night go-to for me! read more

A ordenado varias veces, la última ves que fuimos ordené un burrito de tripas y me salieron medias crudas. Hoy ordené un cóctel de camarón y me lo dieron caliente. Antes cuando ordené el cóctel de camarón me lo han dado frío. No se a quien se le occurio calentar un cóctel de camarón, que pecado. Nunca jamás vuelvo a este lugar. read more

This place is quick and cheap. The tacos are tiny so order lots. The chicken has a weird flavor but it's got flavor at least. They also have a salsa bar which has some good options. It was a nice quick stop. Loved: - Taco: Carnitas Liked: - Taco: Pastor Ok: - Taco: Pollo read more

They have a nice area to sit in and eat. Plenty of different salsa and hot sauces to add to your meal. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. The food was delicious although the burritos they add way too much rice. I do not like rice and burritos. read more

Food is still the same. Same great accessories and sauces, but prices have increased approximately 40%-50% overall. For example, a previous $.99 chicken taco is now $1.50. While still somewhat of a value, customers should be aware of the price change. They have updated their menu screens above the register areas. read more

First I love TACOS! Second, I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. The drive thru line stayed packed but they we very efficient on keeping the line moving. My son and I went on the inside to order since it was our first time visiting. I was highly disappointed with the cashier. Being a first time visitor I guess I expected more than what was offered. The young lady was watching something on her phone with a earbud in her ear. I was trying to ask questions and she kept having to remove the ear bud and asking me to repeat myself. On top of that she was eating at the counter while taking my order. Once we received our food the chicken tacos were decent but the lengua tacos were very dry and unseasoned. I will return for the pineapple water my son lo read more

I've been looking for the best taco place in town and this is one of the best I've found so far. It's fast, inexpensive, authentic, and delicious. I've tried the Steak, Spicy Pork, Fried Pork, and Chicken Tacos and the Sopes. The meat was flavorful and tender. The sauces they have from the sauce bar on the side are all great. If you don't like spicy, be careful because they are on the spicier side. I love spicy so it was fine for me. I also love they give a pepper on the side for an extra kick. read more

Every single time I order here they get it wrong. The people working the drive through do not understand how to work the register when adding and removing items. I asked for no onions on my daughter tacos they added extra onions. I asked for onion and peppers on my burrito and the girl asked "what do you mean" just another restaurant who doesn't hire trained people. Do better! read more

I happen to be in Memphis for the weekend and wanted some tacos. I was recommended this place. Love the variety of tacos and food that this place offered.

Wife surprised me with a burrito from here because she's awesome, and it was top tier. I also had a bite of my kids' tacos, one al pastor and one barbacoa, and they were great as well. And the place has a drive thru! It's not in an area I frequent, but I'll be sure to stop by again. read more

Well, really not much to say about this place. I had two chicken and two shrimp tacos. The chicken tacos were really small and bland. The shrimp tacos were worse. The shrimp were so dry and over cooked. The lettuce nor the ingredients were fresh. They are rather cheap, but in this case you really get what you pay for. I definitely wouldn't go back and would be strongly more likely to go to another taco spot in that area as there are many! The line was long and slow. The young lady at the speaker was not an attentive listener and I had a really hard time understanding her. read more

I really miss the Pancho's here. The food wasn't really all that great, and they had microwaves, but it just became a spot for nostalgia. This place is so much better than its former glory! I was impressed by how clean the place is. Especially the bathrooms. They are outside the building like they used to do on old service stations. You kind of need a little background if you want to know what you're ordering. I stuck with a chimichanga because I felt safe with it. They have beer, but I opted for a soda. Food was excellent. Salsa was spot on. The price was just right. I'm lovin it! read more

Found this little gem on Yelp. This is now on my list of favorite Mexican restaurant in Memphis. It's just a little hole in the wall that has really good food. The carne asada can be a bit chewy, seasoned well with good char flavor, the carnitas are well seasoned with moist and crispy pieces. The refried beans are delicious too, Served with flour or corn tortillas. Oh ! and the orange and green hot sauces are yummy but HOT ! I love them ! read more

My second time eating their food and is amazing. I have the steak taco salad and burrito. The meat seems to be smoked and the flavors of each food is mouth watering.

Stumbled upon this gem on my way to Sonics (and I'm sooo glad because I really didn't want Sonics). I was pulled in by the long but manageable line of cars, Latin music played by customers, and sign advertising 99 cent tacos - I knew this was my kind of place! I ordered al pastor (which they called spicy pork but it's the same) and carne asada tacos which are $1.25 each - 99 cents is apparently only for chicken. Carne asada were good but the al pastor was definitely the star of this show. Absolutely delicious and authentic and they come topped with everything you'd want. I also ordered an horchata and it was freshly made and well worth the $2.50 for a large. Service was fast and friendly as well. I will definitely be back again and again. read more

My favorite place to get tacos. Their taqueria sauces are off the chain! Yummy tacos for such a reasonable price. Small restaurant and not a lot of frills but it's just right to get your taco fix. They are the reason I honor "Taco Tuesdays"! Friendly service and fast. They even have a drive thru if you don't want to get out of the car. A must try! read more

Never go thru the drive thru. They will always mess up your order. Food is good though but service is horrible!!!!

Tacos 99 cents can't beat that and they are delicious... if so happen I'm back in Memphis I'm definitely coming back to Taqueria Express

I would appreciate honesty. That horchata is not natural!!!! I was craving some & I get koolaid. So disappointed! y los cosineros ponganse las pilas. Siempre tengo que checar la comida Antes de irme y con la envoltura cheap! Es todo un lío. Llegó a la casa con la comida como si un perro anduvo allí lol. Todo por asegurarme que fueran como lo pedí read more

Taqueria Express has only been around for a couple of months but I have already been there at least 5 times on lunch breaks. They're fast, affordable, and great quality. I'd describe it as street taco quality in a sit down location. They also have a drive through, although I haven't tried their take out. Tacos are $0.99 each and are delicious. Their Pupusas are also tasty but I usually will just grab 5 or 6 tacos and be good to go! read more

We came here for a late lunch/early supper after it popped up in a quick "near you" search. We walked in and immediately realized we were in an authentic Mexican eatery. The place was very clean and inviting. We perused the menu and ordered a carnitas platter for him and a carne asada platter for me. I went to the hot sauce bar and selected some of each of the sauces available. Chips and salsa were brought to our table, followed not long after by our meals. Each came with a tin foil package of corn tortillas so hot and tasty I could have eaten them all! The portions were large, the food well cooked and flavorful. We can't wait to go back to try some of the other dishes on the menu! read more

This place has decent .99 soft tacos but the customer service makes it a one-star. The teenage girls who work there have the nastiest attitudes. I know I'm not their target audience so maybe that's it as I see that majority of the customers are Latino. So I'll pass on the bad customer service & basic tacos. For great tacos & service check out Taqueria La Guadalupana food truck on Germantown Parkway & Cordova Rd. read more

My new favorite lunch spot! I went with a friend who told me about it and I'm so glad we went because the tacos are super good and cheap! The place is small, clean, and definitely authentic. The tacos are a little smaller than other places but its definitely worth paying a dollar or $1.50. I ordered 5 tacos de lengua and they were $1.50 each. I also got a small agua de horchata which was also really good. We ordered to eat there so they gave us chips and salsa. The salsa was really good as well! Better than other Mexican restraunts that give you watered down salsa for your chips. The people that work there are also super friendly and check up on you even though you order at the register. They also have a condiments bar so you can get all the lime slices and salsa you want. read more

Doesn't look like much but definitely packs a punch. We had the chicken taco, quesadilla, and chimichanga and absolutely loved them all. The only reason I gave 4 stars is just how long the wait was, took nearly 30 minutes through the drive thru, but all in all it was great. Will be back. read more

I ordered a shrimp fajita for $15.00 and this is literally all I got. I counted 6 shrimp and barely anything else for the fajita itself and then there's a little lettuce and guacamole. Like this is disappointing. I got it through Uber eats but they've never been a problem. This is the restaurant itself. I use to eat here all the time but I relocated so it's harder to dine in but the amount in the restaurant is wayyyy different than deliveries. read more

Chips and salsa are phenomenal. The salsa is chunky, flavorful and spicy. I got 3 tacos de carne asada and they were superb. Refried beans and rice were excellent as well. This place may be considered a dive but the food is on point. I ordered the melon agua fresca too. Great! All that for less than $8!!! read more

It was my first time going. Looked kind of sketch on the outside, and there were no other customers inside or in the drive-thru, so I definitely was skeptical. But I saw that they were selling $.99 tacos so I had to try it! I ordered three tacos: one steak, one cabeza, and one beef tongue. They were kind of on the smaller side but they were all tasty! I really liked the steak taco; I would definitely recommend it. I would say you can get a pretty good meal for 5-6 tacos and be satisfied. The cashier and other employees don't really speak English that well but you know thats an authentic Mexican restaurant lol. I am definitely going to go again and I would recommend this place if you're looking for good and cheap tacos! read more

Taqueria Express - Awesome Carne Asada tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

This is the best restaurant find for me in a long time for several reasons. I had three carne asada tacos, a bottle of water and they brought me chips and salsa. Food quality was excellent. Great flavor, no grizzle. Salsa was fantastic with good heat but not overwhelming. The place is small. Don't mistake hole in the wall for dingy, it's a clean restaurant. To top it off, I was out the door for $4 and some change and was full. FYI...I am not on a budget and I would frequent this establishment on a regular basis if I resided in this area. read more

I love it here!!! Tacos are awesomely delicious. Melon drink is the best! The sauces and salsa are fresh.

The food here is truly excellent. From outside, I was skeptical. Then I looked at the menu on the wall, and I almost left. BUT don't leave!! The service is great. The food is top notch. Prices totally reasonable. Only reason not 5 stars, and I probably should do anyway, is that the ambiance is not altogether inviting or comfortable. The pork tacos - both fried and not - are great. Salsa is spectacular. And the guacamole is among best I have had. read more
