Taqueria La Original: Reviews & Ratings
My family and I have been eating here for many years because it is so very good and always hits the spot. Everything is great here! The employees are friendly and helpful.
My family has been coming here for years we always visited the one on memorial. When we found out it was closed probably because of the pandemic we discovered one on Rockwell. It was just as tasty. My boys when they were younger Al way ordered the nachos. I still get them. Mmm mmm good. Hubs always gets the flautas and burritos. Our son did the same. It was really crowded when we last month. A lot of families. The girls that take our orders are really friendly
As a west coast Mexican-American, it was hard to find place a in this city that's as good as home. This place however, hit a home run with me with the first bite. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone one looking for real authentic Mexican food, and not that tex-mex stuff you find in most "authentic" restaurants. This place is the real deal.
Huge, delicious tortas. (Hubby had a giant burrito big enough to merit its own ZIP code.) Clean tables, floors, and men's room. Friendly, cheerful service. Extremely modest prices, to boot!
This place was the real deal! Really good tacos for a nominal price. The meat was perfectly spiced and tacos were well garnished. I would go back if I am ever in the area.
I happened to notice this place while I was picking up my laundry. Outwardly, it looks like another little family-owned restaurant that litter the streets of OKC. There was nothing about this place that screamed "great food" but that's what really got my attention. I reminded myself that the greatest eating experiences I've ever had were in restaurants that looked as mundane as this establishment. So, with a new culinary adventure in mind, I ducked into this little Mexican restaurant and threw my money down... Immediately as I stepped through the door I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place. Everything was organized and hygienic. The chairs were all pushed in and the tables shined with cleanliness among the tasteful and vibrant decor. I enjoyed the look of the place and the smells were even better. The menu was simple with a few pictures and I was immediately drawn to the tacos! I asked for tamales but they were out (which isn't necessarily bad) so I went ahead and ordered the street tacos with extra cilantro and chorizo!!! I could have ordered many different meats. They offered chicken, steak, carnitas, chorizo and barbacoa but I had to taste some good chorizo! After about 6 minutes my order was brought to me with two wonderful sauces. The gentleman was very friendly and my tacos were quite large! I ate the first one with no sauce as to enjoy the taste of the meat/ingredients. At first bite, I was in heaven. Hands down, best tacos I've ever eaten! I tried the next with the green sauce and desperately wish I could remake the flavor because it was fresh and unique. I adorned the third taco with multiple squirts of lime and the red sauce that was deliciously spicy and smoky yet unfamiliar to my taste buds. I scarfed these tacos down! The total order was around $6.50 but I was deathly full and happy for it! I highly recommend this place and I will post more reviews in the future.
