Mario's Tacos — Restaurant in Greenville

I'm a former Californian who takes his Mexican and Central American food very seriously. On the east coast, I find that I am frequently let down by the quality of tacos when I think back fondly on my days in the west. But! today marks a bright spot in my life. That brightness provided by, Mario's tacos.

The Food I got two tacos de lingua and una torta de pollo. My lady got a burrito de lengua. I have to say, they did it right!

The meat was flavorful and tender and everything you could hope it would be. It was contrasted nicely against the bright white onions and cilantro; enrobed in a fresh made corn tortilla.

The torta had very tasty bread that was warm and inviting, providing a wonderful living space for the tasty chicken that surrendered its life to me on the bread.

My colleague had chicken tacos was also in love with them. The people are really friendly and not stingy. They gave me extra hot sauce and I was in heaven. I would recommend this hidden gem to...

Hands down the best tacos in Greenville!!! This local spot was so absolutely delicious, we had to get seconds. My boyfriend and I tried the steak, chicken, and beef bbq tacos and were blown away. The quality and price of the food— you can’t beat. Our favorite was the beef bbq tacos; so soft and flavorful. All the salsas were scrumptious and the pico de gallo was fresh and delicious. The owners were very pleasant and attentive. I would give more stars if I could....
