Mexican Taco Shop: A Taste of Authentic Flavor in Topeka

Food was well above fast food, which is what it appears to be. My cheese enchiladas were great and the sauce was great!

This spot it great at all times of the day. The service is quick, the staff isn't mean or nice, and the food talks for itself. I was told to try the Carne Asada fries and honestly it didn't hit like I hoped, but the traditional dishes are decent. They have a delicious salsa verde which ties it all together nicely.

Mini Street Tacos (carne asada) FIRE They have always been fresh and ready to eat. The rice and beans are good too.

The food is very good. Fresh with good flavor and plentiful. I have a very good feel for what "Mexican food" should taste like...grew up in a border town so not talking TexMex. And this is Mexican style simple food. Don't know about service since I did drive thru. But good food and good value for sure.

I love the rolled tacos here at The Taco Shop. It's 3 rolled tacos filled with chicken. I ordered mine w/cheese and sour cream. They do give you plenty of sour cream but I think it ends up cooling the tacos down, by time I got home( I went through the drive-they) to eat them they were a little cold. I still enjoyed them along with the salsa verde. If you go through the drive through expect to wait a little as they make your order when you place it, which is a plus!

After a dr appointment I was in the area so tacos for lunch was the plan. Lucky for me it was "Taco Tuesday", street tacos are only a buck $1, a deal. I got a few pork and chicken tacos. Fresh, fresh..fresh. They hit the spot, fresh onions and tasty cilantro. I'm not in the area often but I hear it's popular with hospital staff (Topeka's main hospitals are a few blocks away) and the drive-thru is open 24hrs. So if you are having an acute chicken quesadilla attack at 3am this spot would be your best bet..

5+ on the value for this Ginormous mixed breakfast burrito. Although I love Mexican taco shops like this all over, this one lacked the Mexican twist and seemed SW gringo. Decent burrito made better by the green and red sauce. I'll try again for sure.
