Reviews of Tacos Nayarit
TL Lux
The food was very good and authentic. Very large portions so if you think you need a lot good luck eating it all in one sitting. From food truck to restaurant and the lines are still out the door. I am very glad my daughter recommended coming in a trying it. If you get the chance, while waiting in line, take a look around at the artwork inside it is absolutely beautiful .
Soledad Guzman
I came here after a friend of mine mentioned that this was the best taco spot outside of Fort Jackson, and he was not lying! I had the steak nachos, a traditional asada taco on a corn tortilla and 2 shrimp tacos on a handmade hard taco shell. The food was fresh and the salsa bar offered a great variety of spice levels and flavors. There is ample in door seating as well as main level and second level outdoor seating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kristen Greco
Went here after Yelp had written it up as the best tacos in all of SC. My husband, dad and I went and OH BOY it’s fantastic. You order at the counter then they make it and put on topping as you want. We had tacos: fish, barbacoa, pastor, pollo, camaron, chorizo, y carnitas. We also had the queso with chips, rice & bean, a sopa and a chalupa. Top favorites: taco pascado, taco camaron , and taco chorizo. Definitely coming back again, highly recommend you come out and enjoy this place. It has character and the line moves quickly.

Order the Bierria Tacos. Overall, they were good. The tacos were pretty filling and the consomme was good as well. FYI, although they say are open till 9pm, ordering stops around 8:30.
Latoya Houser
You know the food is good when the parking lot is full and the line is extended into the dining area! My kids and I were thoroughly pleased with the authenticity of the food served. Especially the freshly made Birria Tacos and churros with choice of 3 dessert sauces. *chef's kiss* Muuaahh!!!
Yadira Lopez
Yummynesss! Line out the door is always a good sign of greatness ahead! No disappointment here, I had 2 tacos de Birria with consome( the au jus like the French dip sandwich) but it the broth of the birria!!! Also a gordita with carnitas (pork) and a sope with carnitas. As well as an order of the plantains with crema and queso fresco!!
Chamal Mediwaka
They serve high quality authentic food. I had always heard great things about you and finally gave it a try. Food was amazing. Definitely going back!
Phillips Family
Been grabbing Birria tacos from here for a few years now. Never disappoints. Pretty much everything on the menu tastes delicious. Food is always fresh off the grill.
Hana
This place lives up to the hype and blows all competition out of the water. I got a barbacoa bowl and it was jam packed with flavor. To drink I got a mango agua fresca which was very refreshing. I never had plantains with condensed milk on them but after eating theirs.... I don't know if I can eat them any other way. All the food tasted fresh and the staff held it down even during the busiest of times. This place is awesome!
Kyle Heimer
Holy cow! We were driving though on our way to Charolette and planning to grab something quick from Chipotle. I am so thankful we looked up some other options. This place blows all other taco shops out of the water. The food was amazing and was really quick even with the line out the door. If you stop by and see a line out the door do yourself a favor and stop in. It will 100% be worth it and is very quick. We got the nachos with chicken and they were awesome. We also got the bierra tacos and they were the absolute best entree ever. We finished off with the churros with condensed milk and were thankful we did.
110% do yourself a favor and eat at Taco Nayarit. We will be stopping often on our trips though Columbia.
Quanda luckey
Very authentic, flavors burst with love, first bite will take you to a tropical place you wish you could stay at forever!! Highly reccomend you try this place out!
Candice Nelson
If you like authentic Mexican cuisine then this is the place for you!!! I dived into the Birria tacos and they were absolutely amazing! If you’re in the area this is one place you don’t want to pass by. Heads up… there is normally a line so come with patience. Thank me later!
Genaro Ruiz
Not too many Mexican Restaurants here in Columbia, South Carolina. Came across this restaurant, Tacos Nayarit. This place has outdoor seating. The inside of the restaurant has it's cultural setting. The menu has it's variation. I tried the carne asada and chicken tacos. Both meats were tender and good flavor.
Nathan Lamourt
Very good authentic Mexican food, so far this place is definitely on top of my list. I will come back next time I am in town.
jada silver
food was FANTASTIC. 15/10. BEST birria tacos we have had. (family agrees). tacos flavorful, and so is the sauce, it’s not just grease and cilantro. churro with caramel is fantastic as well. long wait, but only because the food is so good that they get so many customers 🤣. def recommend the birria tacos. whole family loves them.
Taylor Alexis
After seeing all the videos finally went to check them out. We went after 5pm on a Sunday and there was a pretty big crowd. Took us about 30 mins until we were able to order and less than 10 min to get it. Ordered Birria Tacos with 2 sides (half rice & beans plus chips & queso). Food was really good and definitely will be going again. Ordered as takeout due to the inside being full however, by the time we paid most of the seats were empty so we decided to seat and eat at an open table. The parking is pretty hard as its not much space for the amount of people. For those who like to eat leftovers - their still good even next day
Zoey Martin
This place is amazing! I love the food so much. The cashiers are so nice and polite every time I go in. They definitely deserve all the tips they can get. The politeness and costumer service is out of this world! Definitely recommend going here! The girl with the tattoos is the best worker there! Give her some props!
Robert Gordon
The food is authentic and delicious, the prices are great. I ordered 2 Birria tacos (the only place I've been a able to find that have these this good) 1 Barbacoa and 1 Pastor. The staff is very professional and make sure they have your order exactly how you want it, I will definitely be back and will be bringing more friends and family.
lilwetduckie
Great place! We searched up "best tacos in Columbia" and this place came up a few times.
It was VERY packed the night we came in. The lady helping us with our order didn't understand English and had to get some help. No biggie! We got our orders and sat and ate some amazing tacos.
Probably more of a lunch stop place... but if you're craving tacos or something of the sorts, this place is pretty great!
Elijah “Chunk” Reeves
Very fast and friendly service. The tacos were very very good. Some of the best I have had in a long time. Felt very authentic. The crunch of the taco was superb. I def recommend this place and plan on going back…. Best tacos in Columbia. Wow
TR Camacho
This place is a gem! Everything was fresh and delicious. Cannot wait to come back for more tacos!
Chris Scott
This is a very reasonably priced, super authentic restaurant. It's set up 'Chipotle style' so you can build your own dinner. Everything is made fresh there - you can watch them roll out and cook the tortillas from dough. The food is absolutely fresh and is always made to order right in front of you! If you're craving better-than-average tacos or an amazing burrito bowl, this is absolutely your best bet!
K L
Love the Birria tacos. I think they are the best in town! Everything else on the menu is worth a try too.
Earl Suber
I have had a lot of Mexican food in Columbia and these are the best Tacos in the city!! If you are a fan of Chipotle or Moe’s you should definitely like this place because…it is set up like them in the line fashion but much better food! The authenticity is top notch along with service and cleanliness! If you are looking for some great Mexican food definitely try them out.. I’m locked In!
Jessica BG
Food is always amazing in flavor, their food is ALWAYS fresh.
Thasha B
This place is great! Short drive from post, the prices are reasonable, great service, and the tacos were on point! 👌🏽 Definitely recommend this place for a quick lunch. There’s also a nice area to eat outside.
Elle L
a-MAZ-ing. Friendly staff, quick hot food, great prices and selection! There are five 4-seat tables and a 2-seater inside with outdoor seating available as well, so small place but never felt crowded as most people got their food to go or ate outside. Was recommended by a coworker, and now I'll recommend to others! Food was delicious!
Aton Bridges
Birria and consomme had very little pepper in recipe. Was very plain. Meat was tender. Like they had put a couple Mexican spices in a basic roast beef recipe. Oil used to fry tacos and quesobirria was very flavorful but had not even a touch of spice. Meal was fulfilling but lacked any nuance of layered pepper combination found in west coast birria. Disappointed.
Treasures By TracySC
It's one of my favorite Mexican food spot in Columbia. I'm originally from California, and finding really good Mexican food has been a challenge. It's always packed. I've never been in there, and there wasn't a line or one didn't develop while I was there. I love their shrimp tacos, Mangonada, birra tacos, and church's. I've never had an item on their menu that wasn't yummy. All food is made to order right in front of you . I only wish they served breakfast burritos!
Christopher Spence
The menu is large but easy to understand. Every meal I've had here has been fresh. The service is great and long lines during rush hours are serviced quickly. Tacos Nayarit is my #1 favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbia for its convenience and consistently delicious food. I recommend the chorizo burrito bowl and the churros for a sweet treat.
James Aaron
Went in for lunch. It had a pretty long line that move fairly quick. In a word, delicious. The food was as authentic as you can get in South Carolina. The only glitch was a language barrier and it was slight. Will 100% got again. And again.
Sophia Sposato
Tacos Nayarit is surely one of my favorite places in Columbia. Their food is amazing and authentic and the menu has a good variety. Everyone is very friendly and it feels like an experience every time i go. 10/10 recommend plantains and birriria tacos
Luna “Cookie_Monster”
Some of the best tacos/Mexican food. The staff are awesome!! Always working hard. Tends to get busy and parking can be a pain sometimes. But overall one of my favorite places to go to for tacos.
Jillian Holmes
I love grabbing tacos from this place! They have plenty of other types of foods to choose from too and it’s all really good. I wish the chalupas had thicker bread but that’s my only complaint. Everything always seems extremely fresh and the staff is very friendly as well. The prices are extremely reasonable and the place is well kept whenever I have gone there. They don’t have much parking and can get busy quick but the workers are quick enough to where you won’t have to wait too long unless someone has a large order. I would recommend getting there before 6.
S Wallace
I had the birria tacos for the first time ever yesterday after a long anticipated wait. They absolutely did not disappoint. 10 out of 10. The half mango half agauva juice was delightful as well.
Charles Sacco
This place was definitely on point! You could tell as you pulled up seeing a line wrap around the inside dining room and the revolving door as people exited looking satisfied 😌. The food was excellent and the group I was with was appreciative that I was able to introduce them to such a great taco/burrito establishment. You will not be disappointed with this choice, especially with a Mangonado to go with!
The Hood Technician
They are the truth!, they been around for i think 3 years & i just found out about them on google. Only 10 minutes or less from the the house. Sum of the best I’ve had, and the first time I’ve tried a Mexican barrie taco on corn tortilla and sum of the best chorizo tacos on flower the 5th star is cause it’s clean and my folks stay gloved up…♐️👌🏾🥃
Ke Garira
Hands down best street tacos in Columbia SC
Very authentic and yum yum. The place is a self service ... Offers a lot of variety ... Let's you customise your tacos. They have other food besides tacos too.
Colin Williams
The food here is wonderful. I absolutely loved the food. The only thing I would complain about is that there is no menu prior to entering the establishment and once you get in range of the on-screen menus (which shift images every 5 seconds, not giving you enough time to see more than 1-2 of the items), the person behind the counter is asking for your order.
Ernest Redd
Just all around great!! Fresh food
Ayye_jazzya
My first experience here was on cinco de mayo day I didn't enjoy for food as much because it was busy and by the time I sat down my food was already cold. So I decided to try this place again outside of a holiday and it was great I enjoyed the tacos and the queso and chips. 10/10 recommend this place to eat!
Beth Nichols
Main dishes are delicious. Not a fan of the cips and queso/salsa, but that doesn't matter at this place because the flavors, quality, efficiency and price are great!
Antoniah Campbell
I haven’t had Mexican food this good since I lived in Columbia. The local spots here in Texas does not even compare to Tacos Nayarit. Miss this place terribly❤️ I’ll be back soon to catch up on what I’ve been missing!
ADRIENNE DAVENPORT
The food here is really good. Everything was fresh and you get a good amount. The churros with caramel we amazing. Definitely will go back.
Nikki
First off the food is a 10. The service is averaged 3. No one is smiling no one greets you. The employees seem overall rushed and annoyed. Expect a line and a busy dining room whenever you go. Regardless the food is absolutely worth it and makes up for the unfriendly staff.
T Turner
I wish I could give them 10 stars! The food is outstanding! Great Service and you'll understand why the line is out the door!
Keisha W.
The food is pretty good, service is decent. The language barrier can be a slight issue (I was overcharged for consomme), but repeating the order several times could've resolved that problem. The burrito bowls are comparable to Chipotle. The tacos and quesadillas are like no other.
Cows With AK47s
I hate Mexican food with a passion. But here comes along this "Nayarit" place and puts my taste buds into overdrive. The food is amazing and the only issues is how to park there.
Kenedi McLeod
I really enjoy the food at this place however, I hate how this establishments says it closes at 9 and locks the door at 8:45. If that’s so, then you need to change the business hours to closing at 8:45. I was very disappointed thinking I had enough time to come in and get food Togo just for them to already be cleaning and locking up when I pulled up 15 minutes before closing time. If the business hours are open 11am-9pm then that is expected for the last person to walk in by 8:59 and still be served.
Greg Corker
I was passing through Columbia and decided I would eat something other than chain fast food for dinner. I found Taco Nayarit on Yelp.
Arrived about 7:30 PM. Note the restaurant is not located in a heavy commercial area. As such it is easy to pass. Fortunately Google Maps was spot on and I got there without issue. The restaurant is also fairly close to the street.
I got three soft tacos, chicken, shredded beef, and pork, The experience was similar to what I get at Chipotle: Go through the line selecting the components of your creation, pay and pick up your meal at the end.
The food was fresh and tasty. I am likely to stop through here again.
bobby edwards
My daughter and I goes there often. We both love the food. It's the most Authentic mexcian food in South Carolina
ian kornmeyer
If you want clean, fresh Mexican food, this is the best restaurant I have found in Columbia.
I had a burrito, so I could try more of their fresh ingredients and it was a good choice. I might try the tacos or a tortas next time, but I didn't see anything that didn't look good.
I will be back and I can highly recommend trying it.
Victoria C
My first time stopping here. Glad I did! It's super cute! There were a lot of patrons ranging from military personnel to construction workers. While I was leaving two Richland county cops came to eat as well. I tried the sopa with steak and the gordita with grilled shrimp. It was good and filling. I even tried the agua fresca. Make sure to ask what flavor is available because it changes daily. Definitely tasted more authentic than the chain stores in the area. I used to read about the Tacos Nayarit food truck in the Free Times and never got a chance to visit. Now I'm ready to come back to their restaurant!
Steve
The food was ok the didn't seem to be very much seasoning. it was good enough but would be better with some kind of marinade or season on the meat.
Ruben Resendiz
I stop by this place first time see this place i have not seen it before though I give a try and man it was very good good taste delicious tacos de birria not many places have this birria tacos
Swain Keaton
Great authentic food at a reasonable price. Very busy but line moves fast.
Lacey Smith
Everything was delicious and fresh! Barbacoa was my fave, so tender! Queso is great too 😋 …
Chelsea Savage
Wow. Great food. Just off the highway, very clean, and awesome tacos. Build-your-own concept, very fast, great toppings. I got a taco trio and each meat (beef, pork and chicken) was tender, juicy and very flavorful without being overly salty. Love the simplicity of street tacos with a perfectly seasoned meat, fresh onions, cilantro and a drizzle of one of their salsas from the bar. If I could snap my fingers and turn every taco bell into one of these, I would.

2022 April 14 - Tacos Nayarit continues to deliver excellent food. Parking continues to be the most challenging part. Prices have increased significantly from Dec 2021. Birrhia tacos with consome is my favorite.
Dec 2021 Good food but stressful experience. Parking is really close to a fast moving highway. Long line with hungry customers behind me made me feel pressured as a first time visitor. I had to order quick and speak loud. It's nice that dishes are customized exactly to the customers' liking but I kind of like being able to order a creation that a chef has designed, not me. Tacos Nayarit is fast casual like the Chipotle chain restaurant but better. Tacos Nayarit is not bad but I like Tex Mex Columbia better.
Samantha Arnold
Hands down the best tacos & Tortas with the nicest staff! I admire this family owned business so much because I've literally watched them grow from their taco truck to the construction of their establishment❤
Star Thomas
Was good....long line but it went fairly quick. Food reasonably price
T D
They have the best Birria Tacos, freshly cooked & flavorful, highly recommend them. The drinks are great too (Agua frescas & Mexican Coke).
Butterfly Kisses
First time there and the birria tacos were on point. The salsa has a uniquely homemade taste I just wish the chips had more flavor
Avery Rucker
Great tacos. Simple menu but that generally translates to better quality. They keep it simple but very flavorful. Seemed a bit expensive for 3 tacos and a drink but worth it if in the mood for Mexican.
Grace
I absolutely adore this place! Best Mexican food I have had in awhile. I wish it had a better location but from what I heard they also have a food truck. Adorable place, great staff and incredible food!
Chanda King
The best tacos in Columbia hands down. My favorite is the Birria taco (get it you will not be sorry). The rice is delicious as well as the guacamole..yummy!!!
ItsJustTheLyfeStyle
Ordering process was pretty smooth ! Everyone's wearing gloves and mask which is great ! Me & My Bf Had The Birrias Tacos (Flour and Corn) with the sauce as well ! They were beautiful and tasted really great !
Geoffrey Hart
WOW... just WOW. The best description of this place is a hole in the wall that serves absolutely the best happiness. I say this because we all know that great tacos bring happiness. Taco Nayarit serve just wonderful tacos. I had two shrimp tacos. Colleagues had a good selection of different tacos... all reported yumminess. This is not a fancy place. I understand it was originally a food truck and it still has the feel - even if it has moved its operations inside. Yet... I do not care. Come here. Get a couple of tacos and be happy. You will not regret it.
Nikki McJunkins
My son and I went for lunch. It was pretty busy but the line moved quickly. Food is made to order. I had 2 shrimp tacos and a side of rice. My son ordered the burrito bowl. Our food was quite scrumptious. Full of flavor. Can’t wait to go back.
Crystal Bryant
I normally love the food but this time it was not good. The brirra tacos are normally very flavourful but this time was bland. My queso was cold and lumpy. And my chips were not warm or hot like normal and the had no salt or anything. I hope its improved by the next visit or that will be my last visit.
Nikki Sonija
Pricey but worth the drive. The birria tacos were amazing only suggestion is to drain some of the oily juice and a bit less cheese. I would definitely go back there.
Robert Schmitz
This food is A-Maze-ing!! Nice little establishment that started with just a food truck. 100% worth a try!
Ryan Moore
Have been here now twice when in town for business. This place should have 5 star rating. The food is fantastic and place is always packed, which they handle flawlessly.
Michael Britt
To be fair, I just moved here from southern Arizona so my view on tacos is skewed. These were just ok. I can see the crowds so it must be the best in the area. I will give them another try though.
Benjamin Brown
I came here because it was very recommended by a Mexican friend who couldn't get enough of all the great choices available. I got three tacos to try some of the flavors available, and they were all great. The steak and chorizo tacos tied for second, but the carnitas were off the chart! An order of fried plantains with sweetened condensed milk and a cup of horchata made for a complete meal. I wish I could eat here all the time
Dec 20 update: Holy smokes I wish I'd tried the churros the first time I came here. Fresh and hot and crunchy with cinnamon sugar, I've never had a churro this good. And it's filled with vanilla cream or something amazing. Totally recommend. The gordita and sope are also up there to compete with the tacos
Joshua Williams
I had a steak burrito and it was excellent. There was a huge line (it was around noon and the line is a testament to the good food) but the food was worth it and the staff was definitely moving it along as fast as they could. The chips, queso, and salsa were also excellent. The prices are comparable to a place like Moe's but the taste and quality of the food is so much better at Tacos Nayarit. I will definitely be returning.
ROBERT HOLDFORD
Quite crowded, but relatively fast service. Food was delicious and portions were excellent for the price.
Nathan Roman
The food is really good and they have a variety of meat to choose that it’s very authentic my only recommendation is that the portions are considerably small for Mexican food we spend spend $36 in Al pastor burrito ball, carne asada burrito ball and refritos beans with rice and a soda. Ton of potential if that small detail of the portion get fixed.
Darnell Young
I gave 3 stars due to pricing was off because I’ve ordered the same thing a few times and they charged me different amounts. Also didn’t receive a few items on my order. But the food was good.
Leann Holloway
Quest is thin like water. Chips had no taste. Tacos were good but they were cold. Need better napkins for such messy food.
Henry Bolanos
Flavorful great food!
Do me a favor and get the chicken or pastor gorditas with black beans and the hot sauce you'll love them.
Kenneth Faison
I'm a taco freak and this place was best in Columbia. 1st time and wanted to go back the next day. Portions are super large. Stuffed all day
Jim Little
Very good food & quickly prepared. Not a fan of the electronic menu screens above the counter (changes too quickly, & real menus preferable).
Andrew Gibson
The Cuban torta is my new guilty pleasure and soooooo good. It's also huge and cheap for what you get. Everything else we have eaten had been excellent. I'm from San Diego and this place meets my standards. Their homemade sauces are also killer.
julia gometz
Wow!!! What a great menu and great food. Got a bowl with rice, beans, meat, etc. The drinks were sooooo good too. We got guanabana. Fresh and delish. Great atmosphere!
Marc Paul
Good little place not well known but hands down quick hot and fresh they hook you up with the toppings and guacamole. I had the Torta and will be back to have more ..
Anthony Romero
Best place in town for mexican fast food. Dont miss out on this place if your Local or in town for a day or two. Prices are reasonable for the great food.
Sasha Matt
This is a delicious little eatery. And they have vegetarian/vegan options. And the people are very friendly. Love it here.
Michael Radzavich
Everything about this place was authentic and genuine. The tacos were yummy! I will definitely return next time I'm in the area.
Adrian Xu
This place is amazing. 2.50 for a taco, gordita, sopa, chalupa with whatever meat you want inside it. I really like their carne asada and their carnitas. Their horchata is great too.
Jaquanda Lee
Very authentic! Try the Birria Tacos!
Paul Brown
Small little restaurant tucked in a neighborhood just off of the highway. Food was great. Had the tacos Birria. Right on time. Perfecto!
Kristal Blake
It's a nice little restaurant. They have a digital screen that was scrolling quickly so I missed the prices, but the food was good.
Shana Ryner
Amazing food!! I am a huge fan of Birria tacos and they have a quesadilla version that is to die for!
Bruce Robertson
Great food and service. All ways busy, but that's a sign of how good the food is for the price.
Daniel Martinez
Busy restaurant but for a good reason... the food is amazing! Highly recommend the Birria tacos👌.
Victoria Onufrik
Tried their burritto and it was amazing. It felt very authentic all around. The roasted jalapeños with caramelized onions are my favorite part! Simple yet flavorful. You stand behind the counter and create your own, like Moe's. Def go and try it!
Najja H
One of the top restaurants in Columbia and I definitely can attest to that. Our food was very fresh and a heck of a lot better than chain restaurants (i.e. moes, chipotle, etc.) With the pandemic still going on, was very pleased to see spacing, strict guidelines of COVID measures, and all staff wearing gloves and masks. This ensured the safety of the guests were not at risk, which made it reassuring to see that.
Brian Wright
Great flavourful food and portion sizes. No more Chipotle/Moe's for my family!!
The Fraser's
Amazing service! Make sure you come early, line around the building. Food is worth it
Kay Ali
Very clean restaurant. The Birria tacos are delicious. Undeniably some of the best I've had so far. Will return.
Nora Carr
Best Birria tacos in town. Great service, nice people, and awesome food.
Maritsa Richardson
This was my first time eating there. The food was soo good! The line was out the door, but it moved fast! Authentic Mexican food at its finest! Everything was soo good!
Francisco Saavedra
Excellent Mexican food inside a beautiful place. There are several options to choose. I highly recommend the beef, it is outstanding! And corn tacos are really tasty.
Glenn Gamolo
The food there was great!! For a first timer, I noticed the menu posted on their monitor were shuffling a bit too fast that makes it difficult to read it.
C. Pellerito
I had the Birria Tacos and they were great, we're exactly like the ones I would get in Tijuana. This is definitely my new taco joint from now on!
Audrey Burrell
Great food every time I come here
Barbara “Bobbie” Davis
I really liked this place. It has a VERY dedicated following so the line is ALWAYS long but the food is delicious and the staff is friendly. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Found this hot sauce there and searched for it in the store to use at home. Delicious! I'm gluten intolerant and there were many options even for me. Excellent.
David Dumm
Great food! Fast service... Hopefully they can screen in the outdoor patio area but definitely will be back.
Calvin Jefferson
I’ve been going here since they have the taco truck now the restaurants on my favorite places to get tacos from. Real authentic street tacos🌮 …
Ap0c P0ny
The birria tacos here were to die for! A friend had told me about this place and we tried to visit on a Saturday but it was so busy we went somewhere else, but came back on a Monday night and I'm so glad we did! You know the tacos are good when you're still thinking about them the next day!
Monique Gary
Great food and fast service, I will be visiting again.
PR Reviews
This is the most authentic and delicious Mexican food in the area. I could eat there every day!!!
Roger Hawkins
Easy to find, good look and vibe, lots of choices, and outdoor seating. It's a great value, too! If you love tacos, this is worth the try.
gail
Mexican flavor explosion....small location, but big on customer service and decor. Love the food....located sorted of out of the way....but well worth it!
Justin Brown (Justin)
Great food, if you like the California styles Mexican food, then this is the place!
Kionne Spann
The food was really good. It reminds me of Chipotle.. The mango smoothie was EVERYTHING! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I will most definitely return in the future!
Alexis Bascourt
Good fast food place. The al pastor tacos are great.
George Busto
Hands down best tacos here in Columbia area. Coming from San Diego, it’s as authentic as it can be compared to any Mexican Restaurant establishment around. Clean, friendly staff, simple menu with complex flavors! Deliciously satisfying! I recommend for anyone wanting Mexican food!

The best Mexican food in SC and very friendly staff! Prices have gone up recently but they have everywhere... you've got to try the tacos de birria!! They are must! Don't be weary of a long line at lunchtime, it moves surprisingly fast and definitely worth the wait. Parking can sometimes be challenging for a big truck like mine but there's always a place to sit inside or outside. This is one of those hidden gems that you will want to go out of your way for. Enjoy!
Roger Vance
I like tacos, and this place is great. Friendly and good selection to customize however you like. They have other dishes as well. Affordable and nice. Usually busy, so that is a good sign of quality. They keep the line moving. Mmmm
Chamere Phillips
The lady's looked nice everyone had on gloves.. Very nice good customer services
. I love the food.. i didnt take any pictures cause i ate it to fast..one just one picture
Alan Roach
Best food ever! My go-to taco place.
Richard Harvey
Prices went up a lot. Food still ok but 5 tacos for 20 after taxes is a bit much.
LaMaky Evol
Absolute must have tacos, I 100% recommend anything on their menu. I really enjoy the taco barria too, the staff is super friendly as well
Vicky B
If you go expect a long line, but not a long wait. Usually only takes about 10 or 15 minutes. The Birria Taco or Quesdilla is the best !!
Rebekah Jones
This is the second time we've been to this place. Definitely close to authentic. I think the masks don't help with ordering because I ordered one thing but got something different. Just lost in translation. But the flavors are good and the service is quick.

Authentic Mexican restaurant, everything made fresh. Food was excellent
Dot Mick
Love the food, hate the service. It's a build your own dish type of spot (kind of like Chipotle) except with authentic Mexican food. When you ask for "a little more" of certain things (i'm even willing to pay extra if i have to) they act like you are greatly inconveniencing them. So, inasmuch as I love the food (they are always packed so it's a common sentiment) I don't go very often. I can make food like this and get what i want how I want it without the attitude.
I must end on a good note - the salsa is (I think house made) exceptional!
Valerie Hendrix
This place is AWESOME and the food is authentic! The flavors and cleanliness of the restaurant are spot on. One hiccup is the ladies that run the register can sometimes be very rude and don't put all of your order in your bags. You have to remind her of your order and check it before you leave. It's time consuming if you have a large order but it beats coming back to the restaurant after you have left. But the food is awesome and i don't have o work there just eat!!!!!

Legit authentic Mexican Chipotle style plus more options. Can't go wrong with any meat selections in your tortas, bowl or burrito. Don't put the American stuff on it like sour cream. Go simple with fresh ingredients and it will complement the proteins. The plantains are delicious as they serve them uniquely with sweetened condensed milk. To top it off, the have horchatta. They have different sauces for toppings once you sit down as well i love the decor. Clean facility with 2 bathrooms. They have a cute tiny people table outside for your kids. Staff is decent. One of my favorites to go for a quick bite!
Jesse Gomez
Hands down, best Mexican food around town! Food is perfectly seasoned!
Katy Harrington
Delicious tacos… Probably the most authentic I have had outside of Mexico. They have really good food truck that includes more of the traditional Mexican meat options like trite, cabeza, etc. The staff speaks a little bit of English and a few of the workers seem rude but it may be they are just unhappy. Haha 😬
Edgar Olvera
Authentic, local, and a new favorite spot of mine! Staff is super friendly, the selections are amazing, and I made a second trip back in line for more food to take home 😋😋😋 …
Ace Campbell
Love finding hole in the walls treats? Tacos Nayarit fits that to a tee. Do you like real authentic Mexican style food? Like torta's and barbacoa? Then this is a must try if ever near Fort Jackson area. Ordering style like a Chipotles or Salsarita's. Only Real Mexico beats it so far in Colatown. Ace approved 👍 …
Jeannine Lemmons
The food is really good. I would have given it five but the lady behind the counter was trying to rush me in the line even though I was standing off to the side looking at my options. I wasn't even in the line and I moved so people behind me could go so I could take my time.
TCPUDPATM PORTS
Great place! Hearty and great tasting food and no nonsense and unassuming place. Go there!
Kandice C
I love me some tacos but didn't feel like cooking so I decided to try this place and I'm so glad I did! Order street tacos, tostada's, birria all with different meats and all were delicious. I will definitely be coming here again even their desserts were great!
Robert Matthews
It was my first time there. I heard about it from a co-worker and decided to try it. The food was good, the wait wasn't bad and the staff were very friendly. It was just a little pricey for a taco salad. The taco birrias were very good. I would probably return and try something different.
Kaleisha Banister
Always flavorful ! Love this place ,anytime im on this side of town i make a stop even if there line is long i wait just because i know my food is fresh and will be delicious!!! :):)
Steven Holliday
I LOVE this place. I try to go get Birria tacos every weekend
Jacob. Plows.8819
Tacos Nayarit is so delicious. Gorditas, Tacos Birria, Quesadillas, pretty much anything is good here. Prices aren't as low as other places, but the flavor and quality are worth the cost. The line and wait are the biggest setback but you get the food made fresh and you can customize as you like it. Just get there before the lunch rush or plan a bit longer for the meal. You won't regret a meal from Tacos Nayarit unless your taste buds are broken.
Joseph Hoskins
They have the best Mexican food in town! I had a chalupa this afternoon, and I had to restrain myself from ordering more because I’m on a diet! It was delicious. I’m definitely eating here again.
Kelly Jacobson
Nothing fancy but the food was great. Tried Tacos Birria and a chicken quesadilla.
Selim K
Fresh ingredients, many options for making your own tacos, sopes, gorditas, burritos, and tortas. Great to see locals opening up a brick and mortar Mexican restaurant. Definitely going back in the near future. Also, reasonably priced.
Andrea Catina Duren
La Comida es Qué Rico!! 😋🙌🏽😋 The food is so good and fresh here. The staff is amazing and very Friendly. I suggest you dine out on the top deck/balcony; because the atmosphere is so soothing from up top especially on a Sunny day. Bring a friend,sit a while,and enjoy the Good food with Great People. 💗💯💗 …
Keri Wilson
Long lines may be aggravating but the food was so worth the wait.....a hidden gem that is soooo delicious
Jack Porter
Really great food! Can be busy at lunch but worth the wait for sure! Will definitely be back!
Ethan Ballard
Amazing! This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant.
Paul jurja
This is probably the best Mexican place to eat at within at least 30 miles of this place ! It's fast service, in an out , you can eat inside or outside or you can take it to go .. is as fast as subway really... and everything is made in front of you..good place to eat at !
Judd Chase
After moving from Texas, I was in search of some amazing tacos, and this place was it!!! Definitely my new spot
Kelly
The food was so good. This is now my fave spot in Columbia. The Burris Tacos and consumè were so flavorful. The plantains were really good too. The mangonada was sooooooo perfect. I couldn’t put it down. The kid’s meal I wish the quesadilla was a little bit bigger or if they had a little kid’s meal and a big kid meal with drinks would be awesome. Overall, 10 out of 10. I WILL be taking everyone I know lol
lync452
Not bad... all the salsas were just OK. The Birria was good... but my burrito tasted heavily of salt and Bay.
Jim DellaValle
Was driving down the road on business and spotted this place. What a find. Food was awesome. So good. Definitely worth checking out. Best rolled tacos I have had since living in San Diego.
Nick Mattingly
Great place. Food was awesome. Clean and well maintained establishment. I will go again, that's for sure.
Eric Castro
The BEST place to get authentic Mexican food. I come quite regularly and my personal favorite are the Bierra Tacos. The Owner and Staff are super friendly and care deeply for their customers. I highly recommend you stop in for a bite. 👍👍
Miguel Guzman
Tacos Nayarit is like if Chipotle were really authentic. Lots of variety and great food, the ambiance is great. Food is a bit pricey for what you get and the place could be bigger for when it gets pretty crowded, but i just can't say no to those gorditas de carnitas!!!
Lamar Woods
First time trying them and I have to say awesome..
Jade Wright
Always a great experience and food whenever I come here. My favorite Mexican spot in Columbia!
David Watkins
Its one of the best kept secrets in Columbia! The food is wonderful!
Kendra Smith-McLeod
this place is my go to for some authentic Mexican. It’s so good, I eat it all before I even take a picture amazing. The birra tacos 😩😩😩 …
Renata Cheagle
Food was good, but not as great as I had been hearing from other customers. I went because the reviews were exceptional. Service was fast even with long lines. The parking is a nightmare.
Ben Kohsmann
This place is Amazing!!! Great food!!! Reasonable prices and always fresh ingredients. Go a little early for lunch because everyone else i. The area will be there to😉 …
Victoria C
I only wish they had a 2nd location in or near Irmo. The food never disappoints. Delicious and fresh every time!!
Rudolph Swatzyna
Authentic food. Barrita is amazing... Highly recommend. They have all traditional Mexican menu items. Churros and plantains are awesome.
Kimberli Murphy
My only complaint was that I only got 3 tacos, and I should of bought more! The flavor of the tacos and the consommé was excellent and just left me wanting more. Definitely a must try, just buy more tacos when you go lol
shelley muilenburg
I have been here twice now and the food has been incredible both times. The food is fresh and made to order. My husband eats here regularly with his coworkers. We moved from El Paso and Tacos Nayarit has been one of the best Mexican food finds in Columbia.
AQUIL582
Fast service, patient staff... Good Food
Quentin Barnes
I love the flavor the service is fast and clean I’ll come back
Dot Mickens
The food is really good but they nickle n dime you to death. Folks don't seem to mind though cuz it'a always packed.
Angel Bane
Best tacos I've had since moving here.. get the birria ..
Megan Sherman
I love this place! It's only my second time here, but the food is good, staff is friendly, and the art and decor is amazing!
Briana Rehill
Hands down my favorite spot in Cola for Mexican food. Anytime we consider going somewhere else, we don’t (lol). Seriously, y’all - stop by, order to go food… regardless, you won’t be disappointed.
Beth Eiser
Fantastic authentic Mexican tacos. Fresh ingredients. Family owned. Inexpensive. What more could you ask for?
Damien Barber
2022 yelps best restaurants in the US. #74 on that listing but, the only mention of SC. PERIODT 😂
Savannah Pellegrino
I LOVE tacos nayarit! Every time I come here it’s amazing. The fresh corn tortillas are excellent, they’re always perfectly cooked. The pastor pork is my favorite meat option. I also love the chips and queso. I haven’t tried much besides the tacos because they’re always so good! Definitely stop in soon.
Keith Barjj
ABSOLUTE GEM!!! This is undoubtedly the best Mexican grill in South Carolina. At least out of Charleston, Cola, and Hilton head island. This place is incredible. I had the Birria tacos, 2 regular street tacos, rice and beans, queso, pico, chips, churros, AND plantains with condensed milk. Everything is reasonably priced and the servings/portions are HUUUGGGGGEEEE! I moved to Columbia from Miami/st Petersburg so this place reminds me of being back home. Muy authentico wey! Mucho mucho gusto! Mucho gracias!
Ken Denk
The food is always top notch. Flavorful, good portion size, and the staff is always friendly. Don't sleep on this tucked away little joint; one of the best Mexican places in Columbia.
Lillian Flores
Love this place. Especially because good Mexican food is hard to find out here. Being from California and missing some good Mexican food I come here for the birria tacos or the sopes and churros. It’s hits the spot!
Ron Jacobs
The meat is flavorful. Had 4 Chalupas
Zouleika Williams
The food Is a 5 star..they are so busy and the line move so fast.. I learn from the customers on what toppings go on what..lol the attitude is a little iffy.. and I know it's because they are so constantly busy with people and the demand for the food..so don't go in expecting to ask too many questions.. they won't have time.. know what you want.. the fruit drinks are amazing and hydrates your body.. I love this place overall and will keep eating their food!! Also love how they started and worked hard for their restaurant!! Determined family!!🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🤑🤟👏👏🙌🙏💪
Brian
This place is always amazing and reminds you of Mexican street food. Whether you want chicken, chorizo, steak, etc. You can't miss with anything! My go to meal is a chorizo quesadilla with chips with their pico de Gallo and queso and it's like tasting a quesadilla for the first time.
Alyse Smalls
Great service! My server asked several times to make sure my order was correct. Friendly and fast. I took one star bc my taco's shell were soggy when I got home to eat(live about 20 minutes apart) so you have to eat right away. And my husband mentioned the beef could've had more seasoning.
Perspective Vision
If you love moes or salsarita then you will definitely love this place! The layout is the same like the two other restaurants I mentioned but the food is actually authentic since the owners used to have a food truck. Good hot food, and seasoned great. Only thing is it's a small place and it's usually packed, so if you want to be in and out that won't really be the case because they are usually packed majority of the day.
Bella Crowe
Highly recommend Tacos Nayarit for delicious food & great service! Well worth the drive from downtown Columbia, I will be back as soon as I get the chance. Love this business!
Juan Carlos Jaramillo
It was really good, the real chipotle but for real.
Lex A
got the birria tacos and they were great! too much cilantro, but i’m not a fan of cilantro, probably perfect for anyone who is. next time i’ll get no cilantro . get there EARLY because the line is out the door within the first ten minutes of opening. i love the small self serve salsa at the end of the order line too . rice & beans are also good
David Parrish
The corn tortillas were being made fresh. Enuff said!
Jaanai Enríquez
It's sooo good, everything is fresh and the tortillas are hand made, so cheap and super authentic, I love coming here!!!
Kendra Mallett-Brunson
Love this place!
Shannon
Fresh and hot. Best taco place I've come across since moving here. It's always a line and that's great. Shows they are doing something right! They make it easy for you to order. Over head it has a sign with pics and instructions to guide you when ordering.
Dedria Gaffney
Tacos everywhere!! Can't pronounce all the various types but they are all beautiful!!
Krystal Abu Rayyan
The food is authentic & good. The plantains are delicious. We took my cousin & she wanted to go back the next day. It's worth every penny!
Jon Crawford
I have been out of state for 2 years and one of the first things I had to do when I got back in town was get me a burrito from Tacos Nayarit. Man, it was just as delicious as I remember. And they don't skimp out on the fillings either; you absolutely get your money's worth. The staff is friendly and fast as always.
Oh, and I love the porch they added!! The restaurant is really looking great.
yo4967
Very busy place. Fast friendly service food was great!
Darnelle Russell
This place is awesome. I cannot believe I’ve driven past this place daily, and never stopped! This is definitely my new go to location for great food. I always went to the 2 big chains that serve this style of burritos and bowls, but that won’t be happening again. Support the local community!
Kat Price
This place is so much fun and the food is really good. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is patient with you when you're trying to decide on what to get.
Missy Griffith
Every time we go to the beach, we plan our departure time so we can stop here for lunch. Simply some of the best Mexican food you will ever eat.
David Crow
The food here is great the atmosphere is cool. They have a lot of great outside seating. The only thing that is holding me back from giving it 5 stars is the fact that they don't serve any beer. Also note this is not a sit down restaurant with table service, it's cafeteria style. Still great though!
Bradley Shirer
Absolutely amazing and delicious. Way better than any Moe's, Chipotle Mexican style place you've ever been to. Prices were reasonable and service was quick. Delicious fresh food. Go try this place out!!
Sandra Serra
I mostly do reviews on either really bad service, or of things that stuck out that made amazing service. The things that sticks out here is the good food and amazing service. The associates who work here are always extra nice and very helpful. I watched a customer come in today who described what they wanted because they didn't know the name and two employees helped her figure out what she wanted. It was funny to watch with both parties getting a good laugh out of it. Good customer service and good food is always a plus, would def recommend.
Dee D
Taco Salad was just okay nothing I'm running back for, the build your own burrito was pretty good. They were a bit expensive for average food. Taco salad and a burrito was $30.
Justin Thomas
Excellent quality food with great, friendly service at an affordable price. This Choose-your-toppings style spot has you ordering authentic Mexican food from a line with lots of options, quality ingredients, and friendly service. Places to sit including outdoors, but no table service available. Great place, but gets very busy with military service members at lunch time so come a little early or a little late for a daytime meal.
Marcella Rodriguez
If you want tacos, you have to come here. The quality of the meat is amazing and you get to see everything being made right in front of you. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful, and the staff are always on their A game. They also sell birria tacos which, if you don't know, are addicting! This is a perfect example of a food truck going brick & mortar and absolutely CRUSHING it. The prices are fair and reasonable for the consistently mouthwatering goods they serve here. It will become one of your favorite places here, GUARANTEED.
LaTed Fuller
I took my daughter's with me, and 2 of them got 🐔 quesadilla, and the other got 🐔 street 🌮 with the sides. I don't like the fact that the chips are cold, and not fresh and hot with salsa on the side. Overall I love this place. You see them preparing it as soon as you start ordering. If you're hip to the famous and very popular taco de birria aka birria queso tacos then this is the place for you. To be honest, I've had them from Real Mexico, El Crazy Taco, and now this place. Tacos Nayarit has the best birria tacos by far!! Major flavor and so juicy. I love the mango ada as well. The fish and shrimp taco are good too.
Elias Magula
Had the best gorditas and sopes there. Never thought I would find and be amazed by an authentic Mexican restaurant in the east coast. Good job to them. Definitely worth stopping by if one ever finds themselves in Columbia South Carolina.
Jeff Soots
Incredible tacos - don't be scared of the long lines, there is a reason so many people come here. Tacos are very good and the line moves fast, however some people have very large orders that slows down the process, a must try for authentic Mexican restaurant and very friendly staff - outdoor dining is nice as well
Sonya Fearrington
I've heard of the restaurant before but, I've never been. Today was my first time trying them out. The place was clean , the staff was friendly, & very helpful. Most importantly, the food is amazing. I will definitely be back!
Decaris Jones
Only wish I would have gotten more of those birria tacos 🌮
maria espadas
I totally love this restaurant. The food selection is great, it's in front of you to pick your mix. If you are a vegetarian like me you will appreciate this place. I highly recommend the veggie taco bowl and their burritos. It's not easy to find good Mexican food when you are Mexican and this place is really good. The staff is friendly and bilingual, the prices are also good and the place is clean and cute. You can eat there or simply order a take out. The servings are really big and you won't regret to try it, we did and came back several times, we will continue visiting and enjoying our meals there. Thanks!
Brian Blank
I live in an area where good tacos are hard to come by so I search for tacos whenever I travel. I went to Tacos Nayarit on a Wednesday evening and it was mostly empty. Staff was super friendly and put my order together very quickly. I ordered three soft tacos (beef, pork, and fish) and was satisfied by all. However, the fish taco was outstanding to the point where I would consider another visit during my short trip. Only thing I would change is leaving the tortilla on the stove for an extra minute or two.
Mrs. Victoria C.
The food was made fast and delicious!! I ate it so fast I forgot to take pictures but I enjoyed every bite!! I will definitely be back.
Frances Jackson
This is our go to spot. Go here once a week. Line is long sometimes, but it's worth the wait. Doesn't take to long to get in and out. Food is so good
Alexandria Bradford
The food is always good but the burrito bowls are getting smaller and they are skimping you on your rice. I understand business is booming but that doesn’t mean short people on their food especially when the price is high but what you provide is low
Bridget Brown
The best Mexican food in Columbia. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and homemade. Their guacamole is perfection. The only place that would have come close to Tacos Nayarit is El Burrito, but that closed years ago. The line was long but it was totally worth the wait.
TheRealPontificator
First time visit today. Had three street tacos corn tortillas and carne asada filling. Very good food and fun vibe. The toppings and fillings are all displayed for you to see. Ingredients were very fresh. My dining partner's tacos birrias looked amazing (he said they were!).
Establishment was clean and since we arrived arrived mid-afternoon there wasn't a crowd.
My only suggestion is that they give you two corn tortillas per taco as just one won't hold them together. I'm sure that had I asked they'd have done that. I don't mind paying for it.
Jennifer Cipullo
Always a delicious experience here.
The torta is by far the best menu item and the one you are least likely to be able to get at other Mexican places around town. It’s essentially a Mexican sandwich and it is delicious.
We’ve been several times and have also gotten the tostada, Gordita and nachos. These were all also quite good as their ingredients are always fresh and high quality, but again, the torta (in my and my husband’s opinion) is the star of the menu.
They have some nice outdoor seating for the warm weather. Indoor seating is available as well.
The only downside is that sometimes they get very, very crowded. Last Friday night, we waited in a line around the building and they had run out of guacamole, which was disappointing. However, clearly they are popular for a reason.
They also have a really fun social media presence.
A Columbia, SC staple and favorite
Ava Davis
A must if you live authentic Mexican food
Dave & Aspen Evans
Wow. I have eaten Mexican food all over the states and abroad and this is one of the best ever. We will probably never bother to go anywhere else in Columbia from now on. You know when the parking lot is full and there’s a line to the door, it’s going to be good. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. The salsas are amazing. The place is clean even though it was really busy. I’m so impressed.
Norma Sweet
Busy place that's worth the wait. Birria Tacos are the best I've had in Columbia.
Amber B
So glad I decided to give them a try, the birria tacos are so freakin good. I had been craving them but didn't feel like driving to Real Mexico, can't believe I've been sleeping on Tacos Nayarit! This is my new taco spot the location is so convenient and the food is great. Friendly service also.
Freya VanEvery
if i could give more than 5 stars I would! Fresh, authentic, delicious food in a super clean environment, with exceptional customer service.
Kerion Carter
This place was chosen by someone in my office. The food was amazingly delicious and fresh. The line was pretty long but for hot made to order food it's most definitely worth the wait. The staff was helpful and friendly. The young lady at the cash register bagged all 8 of my orders, they marked each container for me so it would be a breeze for me to distribute once I returned to the office. I got the taco biarra which was slap your own face good. Lol (sp) man oh man I could eat here everyday. Definitely would recommend this place. Enjoy!!
Marc Reitzel
We didn’t know what to expect when we walked in this restaurant. We had never tried it before. I was pleasantly surprised to see the setup was super casual and the prices were great. Their variety of toppings and meats was nice and everything tasted great! My wife got Sopas which you can’t find in other similar restaurants. My tacos were delicious and my children each customized bowls. We can’t wait to go back!
Alexander the Great
The food was tasty, The service was good. I will go back!
Victor Perez
Love the true Mexican food 😋 taste just like I remember it 😋
Jennifer McGehee
Long lines constantly, but the food is THAT GOOD. Well worth the wait.
Karl Heinmiller
Excellent street tacos in a sort of fast casual serving style. In particular their corn flour tortillas have the consistency of fresh hand pressed mass tortillas (I don't actually know if they are but they're definitely not the usual bulk store bought flour tortillas). The chorizo, carnitas, barbacoa, and pollo tacos were all delicious!
Douglas Chilson
The food tasted great and the staff was very friendly. It is a clean establishment. I tried three corn tortilla tacos. They tasted great! Only reason I didn’t go with 5 stars is because the price. It was just over $10 for three tacos and a drink.
Scott Mathusek
Really good food. Everything is great. It's authentic. Don't take my word. I'm not Mexican, but I have heard it from my Mexican friends' mouths.
Jai
Fast service. Good prices.Ordered 3 tacos: shrimp and pork tacos were delicious ! The chicken taco was pretty bland and the queso was too watery. But the plantains were amazing!! Will definitely return for a second visit.Overall you can’t go wrong eating here.
Brian Ochieng
Food is flavourful, I had 3 tacos of chicken, pulled pork & chorizo. Of the 3 the pulled pork was my favorite.
Brittani McCartha
The best authentic Hispanic food I have ever eaten in my life. The food is very fairly priced, and it is always consistently amazing. I drive out of my way to eat here and I don't mind. I would recommend anyone who loves consistent good fresh food to go and try this place!
Brian Bagby
This is some of the best authentic Mexican food I think I have ever had and it keeps me coming back. Friendly staff a great ambience and they're always busy but they get you through quickly. Highly recommended! I know they started as a food truck and now they have a location hooray for local business support we need to keep places like this around.
Stephanie Heimer
Dreaming of the Birria tacos I ate here last Sunday! Everything was delicious!!!!
Nicholas White (Nick)
Lines are very long and slow moving but the food is incredible!
Amy Frieb
This place is also great! We eat here probably at least twice a month. My husband loves the Taco de birra. Highly recommend and worth the wait in line.
Derek Tsuboi
Some of the best authentic Mexican food in Columbia.
Nathan Hoover
I've lived in NY and now SC and I think this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. It's set up like a Moe's (but with way more authentic ingredients, and I love Moe's) where you make your order with the toppings you choose. The building and parking lot are kind of small so try not to pass it.
Barbara Player
We met owner Juan this morning and were anxious to try his restaurant. Good food and friendly staff. Homemade tortillas especially good! Met son Juan, who was very welcoming. Love the comfortable feel of this place!
Amber Goff
Oh. My. Goodness. This place is so amazing! Everything tasted fresh and crisp. I've been places in which the flavors just blend together for a cheesy, salsa mess. Not here. You go through a line to place your order kind of like Chipotle or Moe's. It went quickly and so delicious! We had tacos and nachos...yum! I highly recommend checking it out!
elegantlyfit
I went there last Thursday. It's overrated to me personally. The shrimp tacos were ok the churros were ok as well.
Ryan Miller
Best fish tacos in town. Don't fret the lines cause it's worth the wait!
Mark
My favorite place for tacos in the Columbia area.
Jehad Hameda
Delicious food, but be prepared to join 5 mins line.
James Findley
I’ve only been here a few times but I wanna make it a regular thing. Food is soo very good!
Bravo Kilo
I was curious about this used taco truck being towed up the highway and found it to be a small Mexican restaurant located in South Carolina only. I guess this is a recent truck that they purchased etc. and was bringing it up from Florida where I spotted it at. I have never eaten here but I’m gonna give them five stars anyway because of the many satisfied customers that they seem to serve daily! And if I am ever out that way, I will stop by, taste the food, and tell them about seeing their truck on the highway in Florida that they purchased...
Carrenaese Williams
First there the food was good, will visit again.
Matt Gamecocks
Can't wait until they open neat Lexington!
Casey Poffenberger
Birria tacos were on point, my girlfriend tries them everywhere we go and she said they were the best yet. We are from Northern Virginia and lots of places have them up there. The plantains weren't very sweet though, the only disappoint.
Wonderful Jewels
Very good food. Long line but it's due to many customers. You won't be disappointed with the food. Calling ahead won't help you still have to wait.
Kateisha Robinson
My fiance and I had a taco craving and googled the best tacos in Columbia. This place was rated at the top so we decided to drop in. TOTALLY happy with our decision! The tacos we delicious, authentic, and the ingredients super fresh. My daughter isn't fond of tacos but they had no problem making a tiny quesadilla for her. She's the pickiest eater on the planet and ate EVERYTHING. I see why this place is the top rated. Will definitely visit again
Rocio Fernandez
I liked the shrimp and pork tacos and I didn’t like the fish taco, it was burnt. Their salsas were excellent both of them verde and roja. They need to improve the tortillas quality because I ended with all the meat in my fingers and the tortilla on the plate. Also, I don’t understand why people say that this place is cheap.
Alex Hdz
Best tacos in town hands down.
If your traveling thru Columbia stop here to eat tacos. Tortillas, Gorditas are hand made. This place started of as a taco truck and now have a permanent place but has never lost the quality of food.
Ms Jai
This food is soooo good. It's the authenticity that makes it so many ch better. You definitely have to try this place once. I promise you'll be back
Ginger Smith
Oh my, delicious! I had a bowl with rice, black beans, shredded chicken and whatever toppings I chose. It was amazing! Chips were good, fresh! I only wish their salsa wasn't so spicy! Even the salsa verdé had too much heat for this wimpy mouth!
Kashawnna Kennedy
I’ve had the birria tacos a few times now and they’re always spot on. Everything is hot and fresh. Love it!
Riley Spath
We stopped here in the middle of a long road trip because of all the positive reviews. We were not disappointed! Everything was absolutely delicious! The fried plantains were my favorite.
J L
highly recommended. reasonable prices, delicious food

This is the best place in Columbia for real tacos. The food is fresh, and well prepared every time I eat here. The tacos even come on handmade corn tortillas. The location is small, but does a brisk carryout business, and it is no wonder. The location is also clean and well lit.
Jennifer Perez-Rawls
Great food tried the regular birria and chicken birria
Tylor Peruchetti
Hands down one of the best spots outside base! Price and quality is delicious! Lines are always long so that should tell ya they good, atmosphere inside is amazing
tim young
Amazing food I've eaten there twice already in one week. The food is amazing staff is great and the outside sitting area is very nice as well
Emily M
Fast and simple ordering, delicious foods and lots of options. Aguas were good and they had bottle drinks. Flan was really sweet. Effective authentic delicious food
Joey Cables
As far as reasonably priced Mexican restaurants go, this place is up there with the best. In Columbia of SC I don’t know of anywhere better. All their meats are delicously seasoned and perfectly cooked. Their horchata is just right too, not too sweet. To the owner/s and team at Tacos Nayarit I say, bravo. Keep it up.

I am addicted to this restaurant, the best Mexican food in Columbia. The food is so fresh tasting, not greasy and heavy or drowning in sauce. They have so many options to choose from, but the taco salad might be my favorite. Don’t forget to finish of your meal with some of their deliciously sweet juices and an order of churros.
Brittany Chisolm
The food was great. The customer service was on point. Most importantly can you say in and out in one breathe? That's exactly how fast I gotten my food. I'm so satisfying.
Marie Davies
The best Mexican food you can get in Columbia. I am from LA where street tacos and taco food trucks are a hit. This is by far the closes to what I have had in Los Angeles. My family and I are regulars here! I highly recommend getting their fully loaded burritos with either Carne Asada (beef/steak) or Pollo (chicken) with retried beans, rice, lettuce, pico, guacamole, cheese, and sour cream. Make sure to ask for a side of their Serrano peppers, watch out they are spicy but delicious. Ask for a whole bag of chips and queso on the side my favorite side. If you would like dessert try out their churros, yummy!
During the week and weekends they are pretty busy. Make sure to not get their during rush hour which is lunch time and dinner. So anytime in between those times there will be no line. The parking lot is a bit small so watch where you park or hope there is a parking spot for you there.

Amazing! Makes me wish we had one in Augusta, GA. Haven’t had Mexican food this good since last time I was in Guadalajara!
Barrett Hurd
Since coming East from El Paso, I've struggled to find anything like this. I was so excited and enjoyed the food so much, I had to go back through the line and grab more. This is definitely my new favorite place.
Curtis John
They've made the vegetarian options easier to order which gives them another star in my book. Good food too. Def the best Mexican I've had in the area.
Nina lindo
My son and his friends informed our family how great the food tastes. I went there along with family visiting SC and they enjoyed the various food from the menu. This is now our favorite
James Stewart
Fast and fresh. Delicious chicken tacos with just the right amount of spice where the cilantro flavor comes through cleanly. Wish the portion per taco matched the price tag. Oh, word of warning: Don't order the Dorado (crunchy) tacos unless you intend to eat them right then and there as they get too soggy to pick up and eat when ordered as takeout.
Talia Vinson-Serafini
Authentic Mexican dining easily accessible by car. Generous servings cooked fresh at a reasonable price. I have recommended this place to all my friends. Love the pastor (marinated pork) and the carne asada! Great for lunch, but be aware that it gets crowded between 12 and 1pm during the work week. If you are short on time come before or after those times. Otherwise, be patient for your turn at the line. Well worth the wait!!
Rose Corbett
I visited Tacos Nayarit for the first time yesterday. It's a nice, new resto that I imagine was built with Mexico in mind. It has the main, interior restaurant, but also a lovely, shady porch that wraps around part of the building. On the porch, there are tables for eating outside, and farther back, there appears to be a raised, second floor open deck with tables and large umbrellas for shade.
I feel that the food is the best Mexican casual cuisine that I have had. Everything was really good and fresh.
The menu is reasonably varied. You order by way of a food line like Moe's or Chipotle, which allows you to choose how your entree is made. I had their taco salad, and it was the best I've had anywhere. So much better with black or pinto beans rather than the watery, tasteless stuff that another Mexican restaurant uses in their taco salad.
We had to wait in line before being able to order, but once we ordered, the food was ready quickly, and we paid for it at the end of the line.
The main restaurant is not particularly large, but there are places outside where you can sit and eat, and they do a lot of take-outs, too.
I'm already ready to go back and try something else! Yum!
Marie Haggerty
One of the best Mexican places I've ever been to! Beans and rice were especially the best. Anytime I go to a Mexican restaurant, I avoid the rice and beans because it tastes so bland. However, dont skip out here. Enjoy and take a your entire family and a huge appetite! It was all delicioso!
Colin Edwards
NOTE: Sign says they close at 10 PM, but they actually close at 9 PM.
WARNING: A ton of people from Fort Jackson come here for lunch everyday from 11 am to around 1pm, so be prepared for long waits. Expect to wait 15-30 minutes in line during this time.
Dinner usually isn't as bad.
I come here at least once a week. I love the fast casual setup, the variety of options, the quality of the ingredients, and the great customer service.
Cale Rollings
I enjoyed lunch at Tacos Nayarit with some co-workers this afternoon. There was ample room for the 7 of us to eat lunch and converse without being in anyone's way. The Torta was recommended by my esteemed colleague but I invested my appetite into a delicious marinated pork burrito with fresh toppings to spare. The meal was very enjoyable and I quenched my thirst with mango juice. My only complaint was that I wanted salsa with my chips but I didn't realize I needed to get the salsa at the bar when i ordered my food initially.
Overall I really enjoyed the meal and I believe my coworkers did too!
Bilal Haroon
Bye bye Taco Bell. This food is Crack. You will want more. Real authentic Mexican cuisine in all of Columbia. Everything is made fresh, in house including their fresh tortillas. Beautiful staff and great food. Try the Barbacoa and fresh guacamole.
Kasie Caswell
So so good!! These were the best nachos I've ever had! Nobody at the table had a bad thing to say, we all went home full and happy. Would recommend!
RedDee
This former food truck turned bright orange restaurant is the BEST in town. Hand rolled tortillas! Fresh bread for tortas! And they aren't stingy with the guacamole. We eat there almost every time we are on that side of town!
Wanda Cannon
Best place to get food I would recommend it over taco bell. Better choices also to select from on menu but if you like taco bell then that's you. Me I love 💘 ❤ 💕 this place please go there the food is delicious. …
Alex Garcia Martell
Great restaurant and food! This place is always busy so get there early especially during lunch. Authentic food great prices and great customer service!
Anthony Ulmer
This restaurant is excellent! Food is fresh and tastes better than anything on Chipotle's menu.
Brad Saunders
Tacos Nayarit can't be overhyped. It truly is that fresh and delicious. The birria is maybe the single best dish I have had of any Hispanic cuisine! Support local and you will be rewarded. Very affordable and also meals available for kids. Our favorites meats were pastor, carnitas, and fish
dylan murphy
Awesome, like Moe's but much better and authentic! Great food, very affordable, good atmosphere, friendly staff. Got bowl for $7.90, they have three aqua frescas ($1.90), jarritos, and other beverages. Plenty of seating indoor and out, really good place all around. No alcohol yet
Hunter Williams
Great food and nice atmosphere!
Jina Humphries
Great birria tacos and decent price for authentic mexican food! 🌮 …
Vanessa McGill
I can eat here every weekend. I love the fact that you watch them make your tacos. My favorite are the gorditas. Its amazing how far they have come. I thoroughly enjoy it here. It is always clean.
Jack McGregor
Had lunch at Tacos Nayarit, 1531 Percival Rd, today. Excellent. It’s a new, bright, clean restaurant with fresh, homemade everything. You will dig it. I would enjoy a good beer if they choose to expand their beverage selections.
Anthony Zupo
Really good food. Great portion sizes. Quick service and clean environment. Really good barbacoa burrito!
Cynthia Levi
This was my first time at this establishment, and I must say I loved it!! My daughter and I dined in. After we finished, we got back in line and made 6 to-go orders!!!
By the way, the line was out the door, and the wait was still less than 10 minutes!!
Michelle
Will be coming back to try more menu options!! Very clean and the fresh tortillas are absolutely fantastic!! Very friendly staff
Jennifer Forshey
Delicious quesadillas and tacos. Not your average Mexican Restaurant! So much better.
Warning! If you like very spicy, use the green salsa! There is a milder one than the green.
Sam Cook
All of it was great. My wife and I tried multiple tacos but the favorite by far was the Birria.
Andrea Bennett
Omg these tacos are LIFE
FSU SC
Authentic Mexican is putting it mildly.
You won't be disappointed.
Renee White
Very polite, helpful and welcoming. Carnitas tacos were my favorite, but then I tried their chicken in a bowl for the first time, and I was surprised at how amazing it was. So far, they've never disappointed!
Cody Pitts
Probably the most unique traditional Hispanic restaurant in Columbia. It's easy to mix and match different forms of entrees so that you get a taste of everything. You'll leave feeling satisfied for less than $11.
Herlie Cruz
This place is great. Food is always fresh and customer service is great! Keep it up!
Stacy Watson
Bierria Tacos. The best. Stop here a get One, heck get Two!
Darrius Mosley
I’ve watched this restaurant business increase in under a year. The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious. The best Mexican food in Columbia SC.
KANDY MENDOZA
Fast service and friendly. Shrimp tacos were super delicious 😋 definitely coming back🙏 …
J Harris
Awesome Authentic Mexican food. Really clean with a beautiful dining area. Really clean bathrooms that also smells really nice. Outside eating area. Friendly and helpful staff. The food is absolutely delicious and the price is really reasonable.
I hope they don't get tired of seeing me 😆
Marquis Webb
Best taco place in town, hands down my favorite. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. The “taco Birria” is my favorite. Also, fried plantains with condensed milk 😍. You want be diss appointed at all. …
Damian Amos
Food is out of this 🌎, it was quick, tasty and pleasing to the taste buds …
Danny Jr
Best taco's I have EVER had. Many more yummy options. Started as a Food Truck now Restaurant.
Gregory Crabtree
First time ever having it, the only reason they don't get 5 is because of my own mistake of not adding onions lettuce and jalapeños to my dilla before they threw it on the grill...still delicious as all heck and will be returning soon to give that 5th star
Nicole Carey
This place was awesome! Kinda reminded me of other Mexican restaurants but with better ingredients and more choice. You pick tacos, taco salad, burrito...etc, then move down the line and choose your meat, toppings, cheese etc. Everything tasted so fresh and you can see the food being cooked right in front of you, will definitely go back
Alex Hutton
I wish I could give this place more stars! You haven't had a burrito until you've had one from Taco Nayarit. Everytime I go I'm absolutely amazed with the consistency, quality and cleanliness of the place. The counter looks like it could be an OR. The glass is Crystal clear, counter is pearly white and knives are so clean I can see my own reflection in them. Then you get into the actual food and it's absolutely incredible. I honestly thought Moe's was a good burrito place until I ate here and now I can't even imagine cheating on my beloved taco Nayarit with any burrito chain. The staff is always polite and in a great mood. Every restaurant has something to learn from Taco Nayarit because they have done something really special. Fresh, authentic, fast and freaking delicious. I'd put them up against any of the best restaurants in Columbia.
And if you haven't tried the fried plantains you're missing out.
Gary Brinkly
Fast service. Fresh ingredients. True Mexican food. Not Americanized. If you are a Taco Bell fan, this may be a shock to you. Eat here a few times and you will eventually figure out Taco Bell is not Mexican food. This place is kind of like a Subway sandwich shop. You order a taco, burrito, tostata or whatever, and tell them what you want on it. Just like ordering a sub but, you're ordering Mexican. 5 stars. This is real Mexican. Love it. Give it a try.
Nicole Jimenez
Great food. Great service. Kinda sad that tacos alone are pricey. That's all I ever want but not 3 tacos for $7 something. We will be back just not as often as I would like because of the prices. 😕 …
Heike Schmitt Hampton
Best tacos I've had in a while. Fresh ingredients, they make your tacos right in front of you. Great atmosphere.
Joshua Mason
Went there for lunch the other day their tacos are so good especially the Barria. This is most definitely my new favorite taco spot.
Alysia Long-Moses
My FAVORITE taco spot ! I invite everyone that comes to visit me, to dine at this place. Never disappoints ! Lovely staff and even better food! 100 out of 10 recommend.
Paul Lippe
...wow! I am from texas and I have been living in south carolina for 4 years now. This is my favorite taco place. It feels like I am back home when I am there. The barbacoa was great, the marinated pork was delicious. Everything was so good!
Aymaan Aslam
Absolutely delicious authentic Spanish cooking. Highly recommended the tacos de birria con consome.
Flexin' Mexican
This is a great place to have lunch. It's always clean and the food is great. Good selection at a reasonable price. Indoor and outdoor seating. Fast service and friendly staff. Food is made to order.
Tracy Davis
I love Tacos Nayarit. One of the fews Taco places that remind me of Mexican Food in Cali here in SC. I love their shrimp tacos and tostadas. Their food is authentic, fresh, made to order and delish .I wish they were closer but the are well worth the drive across town for their food weekly .
Lola Langley
By far the best Mexican food. As close to California as I am going to get. Everyone is friendly. The service is nice. The atmosphere is peaceful. First time there and finally impressed.
Zaire Gaynor
The food here is absolutely amazing. Seating and parking are limited but my understanding is this place started as a food truck 2 short years ago, I'm a sucker for success stories and they give both quality food and service. The wait during lunch could be as long as ten minutes but it is well worth it.
Terrence Dupree
First time visitors. Had the Taco De Birria. It was a good experience. The authentic latino flavor is one of the best!! Will visit again.
Sandbags C
Never should have eaten here because now this is all I ever want to eat. Everything is so fresh and delicious, not to mention everything is very affordable. You’ll spend less feeding two people here than you would at moes and you’ll be way happier. So glad this little gem exists in our boring town.
River Viking
I ordered the shrimp tacos. The shrimp were fresh and cooked on the grill as I watched. They were delicious! Prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly.
M McMeekin
Great food. Efficient/ friendly service. Clean environment. Would def go back if in town.
Mac Hendricks
New to Columbia and a co-worker took me here for lunch. Very cool atmosphere and blend of traditional and contemporary Mexican cuisine. The carnitas were my favorite. If you like homemade corn tortillas their's are incredible!
John Schon
Authentic Mexican food always fresh and tasty I have taken a number of my friends and have yet to have anyone who doesn't love it. They started with a food truck and were so sucsessful that they opened up a restaurant. The chorizo, barabacoa and pastor pork are amazing
Dale Burke
Tacos here are awesome! Fast and friendly service!
Tammala Parris
Was very surprised to find this little gem out by a Fort Jackson. All of the staff were very pleasant with smiles and knew their stuff. It was clean & delicious food very cute decor and very busy which tells me that they do a good job!!
Ashton Turner
I'm so glad we have an authentic version of all these chain places like Moe's Chipotle and salsaritas. Those 3 are notoriously everywhere and extremely bland compared to the real deal. This is what you want if you like any of that
Mike Allen
Boss food and great service. Next time you want a great meal from a local give these folks a try. I ate three shrimp tacos myself and the whole family ended up happy.
Rocky Giglio
Tacos are amazing as is everything else on the menu. Fresh corn and flour tortillas. Aqua Fresca to drink and they added extra outdoor seating in the shade. Yum!
Brittany Fortner
Small building, tiny parking lot, but so good! I had street tacos with carnitas, chips and salsa and queso, horchata, and churros. Everything was fantastic! I'll definitely be back!
Rochelle Doty
Food was excellent. Plenty of outside dining. The flavors were really really interesting and more unique than most Mexican restaurants. Staff very careful of covid.
Alison Grant
Love Love Love!! Fresh, authentic Mexican food. If you go at peak lunch time, be prepared to wait a while. The line gets loooong, but it's definitely worth the wait.
PROJECT JUANARCH

I Garcia
Delicious! Is the only word I can think of to describe it... You got to taste it for yourself! Great service, awesome environment, fresh natural flavored waters, amazing condiments and salsa bar.
Courtney Batallones
This is the best Mexican food that I’ve found since I’ve moved from CA! Tastes very authentic and flavorful! The service is very quick, easy and friendly.
Wendy Vrooman
Good place for Mexican food, nice atmosphere for a casual meal. The menu needs to be clearer and better communication for how the food is prepared. The chips were a bit overcooked.
Brian Newell
Very good. We tried the birria and chiorzo tacos. Surprisingly filling too. The fried plantains and churros were good also.
A C
best mexican food i’ve had. period!! you can’t find mexican food good like this down south. their churros are addicting
K Penney
Excellent tacos birria and guava Fresca, fast service
Monika Zambrana
Very Clean, Food was so fresh & tasteful. Service was great. My first time eating there, will definitely be returning with friends & family.

We stumbled upon Tacos Nayarit coming off the interstate, what a happy accident! Absolutely delicious and fresh, fast and friendly, and the outdoor seating area was a cute as it could get! Definitely will be coming by again!
Truewinnah Summers
I love this place I visit twice a week food all always fresh awesome like I’m obsessed literally 🥲 …
jonathan flores (Mr nyapple)
Valid place, came here after army graduation and it was just amazing to have some real homemade mexican food, that good mexican tacos de barbacoa and al pastor👌after only eating defac and MREs. 100% recommend especially if ur mexican. Really nice environment. The interior and exterior designs and placement of seats and tables Reminds me of a mix of chipotle and traditional Mexican restaurant.
Katerina Belstra
I'm visiting a friend in SC and we stopped here for lunch. Seriously considering coming back for dinner too. It's SO freaking good. F Chipotle, go here.
Chris Marler
One of the few good Mexican food joints around. It has a order at the counter and build your own meal setup. Definitely more authentic than some of the other chains around the area.
Amanda Hecker
Best Mexican food I’ve ever had!! Great prices. Staff could be a little friendlier. Inside is nice and cozy
Michael Taylor
They have amazing tacos! But also the nachos are fantastic. Its a great spot for a quick midweek dinner
Jonathan Limpalair
I've only been there a handful of times but I keep wanting to go back for more. So many food options and they all taste amazing. Staff is always very friendly. Highly recommend.
Michael Neeley
Great food, excellent service! A friend who worked at DHEC highly recommended this spot to me knowing their cleanliness scores. One of my favorite restaurants in the area and definitely the best Mexican restaurant in Columbia.
Judy Hicks
Found this little gem while out on a ride on the bike w/ hubby today. Food and service was awesome! Authentic to the taste buds. (Ladies room: make sure the door shuts completely!) Lol
DeCean Brown
Top 3 taco spots in Columbia. Staff is nice and food is always on the mark
Chris Payne
So damn good, get the churros
Alan Salinas
Mix between Chipotle and authentic Mexican food but probably the closest to authentic Mexican that I've found around Fort Jackson.
Mathew Sturdevant
Best authentic taco-truck style restaurant that I've ever been to. Spicy or mild, if you like Mexican food, this is the place for you. It is worth traveling to, as well. Definitely recommend!
Samantha Rainwater
This place is seriously the best Mexican in Columbia. Amazing, marinated meat, handmade tortillas (how can you go wrong with that?!), and awesome toppings. They even have churros and fried plantains. You have to go here.
Nataly Brinas
I LOVE THIS PLACE. The food is amazing and authentic, the place is always so tidy and the people so friendly. So sad I am now about thirty minutes away, this used to be my go to spot when I lived in that area. Please come to Lexington soon!
Melanie Davis
Group had burrito bowl, burrito, and nachos. Everything was amazing. Not far off the exit if you’re traveling, so it was a great lunch spot.
Jamie Lynn
Sooo good! The Birria taco and Sope with Carnitas were delicious, and my husband really liked the Barbacoa Burrito.
B Alemar-Rivera
The most amazing taco place in all of Columbia. The food is so amazing and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely eat here again.
Ira Thomas
They catered to our store and it was FANTASTIC! Great service, setup, and the food was wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.
Marian
Great place to stop in for lunch or dinner if you're on or near Percival Road. Good prices, food is made to order (like at Subway or Moe's) and very flavorful and fresh.
Megan Howe
Best tacos in the state!
elizabeth rost
My husband took me here for lunch and by far the best Mexican good I have had in 10 years. The good was fresh well seasoned and the place was clean. I would defenetly recommend this place.
Timothy T
Just passing through town and was lucky to find this place. Hearty portions, authentically friendly staff, comfortable seating, convenient location and of course a flavorful meal at a reasonable cost. Will definately make this a regular stop should we pass by again.
karen bailey
The food is great. We wanted some Authentic Mexican food. And it was great! Be careful with the grilled peppers they are pretty but very hot 😊😊 …

Christopher Burch
Place is amazing! I love everything about it the service and quality of food. Never have a complaint.
Skip Welborn
Are you kidding? Tacos Nayarit is the real deal!!! Super delicious, authentic Mexican street Tacos... with lots of the other standards, (burrito, quesadilla, tostada, ect)... limited seating, and always a line so be sure to arrive before, or after the lunch rush... The best "bang for the buck" in Columbia!!!
Sean King
Great tacos. Delicious verde salsa. The ingredients were fresh and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back to try their other menu items.
