I truly can't recommend this place enough.
I'm so upset it took me so long to find it, and that it was so close to when I moved away.
When my husband and I found TacoMex, we ate there three times in a single week.
Everything I've had was delicious! You can't go wrong with anything. But the birria tacos are my favorite 🤤
I recommend bringing cash to pay. The service is fantastic. While the food can take a little while to be made, I never minded because it was being made when you order.
I often take my order to go, but they do have a nice outdoor seating area.

Absolutely fantastic.
I visited today at around 2:30 and ordered two Tacos Al Pastor and one Taco con Pollo, and everything was delicious.
I've been trying to find the best tacos in the Columbus/Phenix City area, and this place can only really be topped by Supermercado Las Americas.
The tacos are reasonably priced considering that they are a mom/pop owned food truck. People seem to think $4/taco is a lot, but it only takes a bit of common sense to realize that you're getting a well-filled taco with cilantro and onion, a side of fresh cucumber and sliced radish, and a beautiful house-made salsa.
If you don't like it, Taco Bell is down the street.
They don't speak much, if any English, and that's okay. I promise that learning the basic Spanish needed to order whatever is on their menu will take you ten minutes at most. Speak with confidence and be prepared for some awkward laughter. Be humble.
They prefer cash, but DO take card. If you choose to pay with a credit/debit card, they will give you a slip of paper with the price that you can take to the grocery store a few steps away, where they will happily accept your card.
Give these folks a try, and I promise you won't regret it.

The freshest, most authentic, delicious food you will get. From the tortillas to the tacos and pico de Gallo is fresh. I have had the tacos, nachos, and every other part of the menu and this family owned business does not disappoint.

Family just moved from El Paso, TX— and I have been craving some authentic tacos and gorditas, I’ve been meaning to try this place and I’m so glad I did!
The asada tacos and gorditas are so delicious! The Horchata is pretty tasty, and I can’t wait to come back on the weekends to get their menudo

I love this little place! It's a food truck, but has a little building and covered patio attached.
Several tables with umbrellas set up on a gravel area outside the truck.
VERY courteous staff. It is helpful if you speak Spanish as well, because the staff do. But THEIR English is much, MUCH better, than MY Spanish!
I have eaten the chicken quesadilla (wonderful), the birillas (delish), and an currently about to try the burrito!

Ordered steak burritos and steak tacos. The burrito was like a fajita style and most of the meat was fat. They were not even full for $12. The street tacos were basic and not worth $4. Disappointing.

First time going 4$ for ONE small taco, 16$ for 4 and that’s NOT including drink, sauce, or side. Don’t waist money here until they lower their prices you will pay a lot and still leave hungry.
