Fresh made tacos are outstanding. Best traditional tacos I’ve had on the island. Reminded me of the ones I had in Mexico. So fresh and tasty.

Chicken and Taco is hands down the best spot in the area for fried chicken. The crispy, flavorful coating on their chicken is out of this world! I’ve searched high and low, but nothing comes close to the taste and crunch of their fried chicken. It’s simply unbeatable. But don’t stop at the chicken! One of my all-time favorites is their Chicken Tex-Mex Nachos. These are the first nachos I’ve ever finished entirely in one sitting—they're that good! The flavors are so unique, and even when eaten cold, they remain absolutely delicious. Another must-try item on their menu is the Pupusas. Made fresh to order, they come with amazing flavor-enhancing additions. I personally love the cheese pupusas, but no matter which one you try, you're in for a treat. As for their tacos, these are the real soft-shell tacos with authentic flavors. With options ranging from chicken and steak (my personal favorites) to shrimp and more, there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend trying each type—every bite is worth it. On top of the fantastic food, the best part of Chicken and Taco is the family that runs it. They are some of the nicest, friendliest people you’ll meet. Make sure to strike up a conversation when you visit; you’ll leave with a full belly and a smile on your face from meeting such a kind-hearted family. If you haven’t tried Chicken and Taco yet, make it your next stop—you won’t regret it!

Best of the Best,, and I’ll definitely be back. Tried out 3 Birria Tacos - TexMex style. Wasn’t sure what it meant but I said yes, and it didn’t disappoint. Workers were extremely friendly and the place was filled up with people within 2 minutes. We went around noon on a Friday and the nice workers knew everyone. Seemed like a great place, and definitely the best tacos I’ve had, and I’ll EVER have in my life!! Consume was great as well.
