Amazing amazing place, been going here for about 4 years now. ALWAYS the same, good consistent food. Best birria i've been able to find in the entire state, and i LOVE their carne asada and hard taco shells. The staff is always lovely as well and are always working very hard to get the line through!

Finally took the plunge and tried Tacos Nayarit out. I was surprised to hear they are opening a second location soon in Lexington, which now that I know is awesome news! The Percival road location is nice, parking can be a bit tenuous depending on time. There was a fairly large line, it was difficult to see the menu at the point you place the order. It was very cool to see the assembly line and employees that actually hand form tortillas that goe straight onto the black stone grill. All the employees seemed to have a very good working relationship for tight quarters and lots of orders. As for the food: For my first of what I can only describe as many visits to come/ I had the 3 birria queso tacos and a shredded chicken burrito. I am somewhat of a birria snob, so please take the next comments with a grain of salt. If you don't know you don't know... The birria queso tacos were well grilled and had the perfect consistency that I make at home. The meat was tender and juicy. The cheese was great. The spice that birria should have was not there like it should be. No hint of guajillo or pasilla chiles, no color that should have been there from the emulsion of said ingredients I am accustomed to. That's not to say it was bad by any means, but if you want spice add salsa from their salsa bar. The consomé was good and plentiful, and the salsa verde added a good kick to the spice. I also decided to go full on fat and order a burrito. Now let's talk shredded chicken burritos.. I was VERY impressed with the flavor and consistency of the shredded chicken burrito. I chose refried beans and rice, guacamole (which was awesome), pico, cilantro and onions and the shredded chicken obviously... I was blown away by the flavor of it all on the whole.. far better quality and flavor of food and portions than one gets at those corporate chains. I will absolutely be returning to try out more flavors and selections on their menu, and look forward to their Lexington location opening... However they could take birria to the level it deserves with its own selection of meat prepared as it should be.

First time visiting did not disappoint! The line was long but moved relatively quickly. Setup is similar to Chipotle where you order your meal and toppings going down the line then pay at the register. We ordered a variety since we don't go to NE cola often. The chicken Gordita was just okay, the chicken had SO much sauce and flavor but it was dry. Fish taco on flour had a nice "crust" from the flattop and was perfectly seasoned. Birria tacos were our favorite, possibly the best we've had in Columbia! We also ordered a horchata and churros with caramel. Our today was around $35, which I thought was decent for the portions and service.

Consistently the best, freshest more traditional food geared more to go, but there is plenty of seating. Staff is always friendly, and even though there is always a line out the door anytime near supper, they keep it moving. They DO A MILITARY DISCOUNT AS WELL!

What a hidden gem and a great place for excellent mexican cuisine! I found this place on Yelp (like normal) and the reviews came through again. We arrived and immediately noticed a long line up to the door. It was so packed, we waited a few minutes before entering the restaurant. It took a while, but we finally made it up to the ordering area. The ordering went smoothly once we got to the ordering area (after 15-20 minutes of waiting). After ordering you tell them what you want on your food such as guacamole, corn, cilantro, etc. similar to Moes. Then, you go to the end of the line and pay for it. We ordered a few orders of Birria tacos and regular tacos. they were very delicious! For drinks, we ordered horchata and a Mango drink, which were all very tasty! I would highly recommend this place and definitely come back.
