Chips and salsa
Chad B.

Generic name, speciality tacos! The Taco Shop is the real Mexican deal. In an unassuming strip mall, the Taco Shop is a speciality Mexican food store and sit down restaurant. This shop does not mess around--the chips are thick and real and the salsas are made it house. The menu is streamlined which makes things simple. I had three different tacos: grilled chicken, fish (tilapia), and vegetarian. The chicken was cubed and crisp without dryness. The tilipia was fried and in one filet which worked to hold the taco together. The vegetarian was fresh and varied with avocado, cilantro, shredded iceburg lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. The verde (green) salsa complimented each of them with a bit of bite but not too much for this Midwestern palate. A friendly, unpretentious, and pickers' choice place!

Tacos delivered tonight. New owners. Taco Shop.
Frieda M.

This place has recently been sold. The 'Taco Shop' of old was AWESOME, The tacos I ordered tonight arrived, THEY ARE HORRIBLE. Photo Attached. Sold or not, new owners or not, why try to fix things that aren't broken in the first place. On to the next taco shop for us here in Oxford, they're a dime a dozen ...I'm sure there's a really good right around the next corner.

Asada taco and shredded chicken tacos
Lauren H.

This place was delicious! The shredded chicken was seasoned very nicely. The onions and cilantro on the tacos add so much. Two tortillas for each taco to make sure they don't break and fall apart. The cheese was really runny which I wasn't expecting, but it had nice flavor. The chips were yummy. Not too expensive either.

Chips and queso
Brandt B.

This little hole in the wall toco shop is very impressive. They have all you need. 1- Chips and queso- this was unreal. Homemade chips, fresh every time and very tasty. Queso honestly not all that bad, kinda runny. But the mix of chips and queso is perfect. 2- chicken toco. Tortillas are fresh and flavorful. Chicken was kinda dry but the tortilla and cilantro helped it out. 3- margs are not that bad being a very picky drinker when it comes to margs. It will get you to where you need to go. They have a little sweetness to them that is nice.

Beef burrito and chips with guacamole
Stephen W.

This place is the real deal. Fantastic authentic Mexican food! We had the BBQ taco and beef burrito. Both were incredible! Service was fast & friendly, prices good, and outdoor seating. There's something for everyone on their menu, trust me, you can't go wrong!

Cheese dip and tacos.. Outrageous!!!

We love The Taco Shop and eat there at least once a week. The street tacos, margaritas, and horchata are a must.

The workers were very rude and they acted as if they didn't see. Idk what was the cause of that but definitely won't be eating there again.

Traveling has been a thing this year! While in Oxford, MS, I went to a totally different…read morerestaurant than El Charro. No judgments but I was headed to the breakfast spot with the initials WH. When I arrived, across the parking, there was El Charro; looking like restaurant you might see in Texas or Mexico. It was packed, it was a no brainer; I'm coming to this place. I lucked up on parking, go in, and head straight to the bar. Bartenders were immediately attentive! Patrons near were nice. I asked for a recommendation, fajitas were among the favorites so let's do it! In my short time sitting several locals chatted with me making this feel like home! Overall with the amount of people there I knew this was the place to be! I liked it so much and raved about it to my family that I had to bring them the very next day! Ambiance is that of a Alamo theme. Decorated with a Mexican theme, this place is beautiful! Attire, it's hot in Mississippi so casual dining it is! Let's get into it! Chicken Fajitas- So Good! Chips and Salsa - Delicious! Combo - Taco and Enchilada - Good! Shrimp and Steak Fajitas- Delicious! Margaritas- YUMMERS!

Went here during the Winter Bender of 2026 and only had to wait a measly 2 hours. The food was all…read moreaverage nothing special. The bartender white lady was very rude and makes a terrible margarita. Secondly the atmosphere of the place gives nowhere close to the homey feeling I normally get when I step inside to a below average mexican restaurant. I digress, I am giving 3 stars because they were able to keep us fed during the time of natural disaster. Gracias mi amigos
