After a couple of invigorating games of bowling with the grandkids, we popped into Taco Express on Carmack Blvd. I'm trying to give the kids different adventures rather than the mundane fast food joints, so T.E. fit the bill. The nice amiga behind the counter greeted us with a smile and some small talk while we decided what to order. I chose the rolled tacos, and the kids followed suit. I guess they figured that if it's safe enough for Grandpa, it's worth the chance. You see, they're used to Taco Bell, Sonic and places like that. Not the offbeat places. Besides, it gives them something to tell the parents about. "You should have seen this place that Grandpa took us to".... The food came to our table quickly and hot. The rolled tacos (taquitos where I come from) were great. Smothered in guacamole and cheese. Mmmm, muy Bueno. They were served with chips and salsa. Uh oh, as I'm writing this one of the grandkids just ran to the bathroom. Hang on, I'll get back to you. All ok, it wasn't the rolled tacos. Sounded like something else. Quick Tip: Make it authentic and have a Jarritos with your meal. My favorite is Pineapple. Their vivid colors can only enhance your experience....or remind you of a trip you took back in the 60's. Don't forget to get your frequent visit card punched.

I have tried everything on the menu more than twice never once have I been disappointed. It is a very clean place with friendly staff The food is out fast. The torta is a mexican sub like sandwich this place makes great ones. The pictures I posted are not great but the food is you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Tacos are good so are the quesadillas. The cook knows what he is doing. I am All ways happy to eat here . I am sure I am leaving something out never take time to take a good picture always ready to eat . I wanted to post this because this place is truly amazing ! They have free chips & salsa. I see a lot of people picking up to go orders but they do have tables you can Dine in . They Also have hot/green and mild/red sauce if you want extra spice or If you like really like Spicy food order some chiles toreados they are " jalapeño fried up in a hot pan Just note : tell them no salad if you don't want lettuce tomato and sour cream it comes on every plate. The desserts are great I normally don't have room for it . I have always been a fan of churros then I had some of their Sopapillas wow I have been missing out . The horchata it is a Mexican rice milk taste sweet like vanilla cinnamon very good.

We come to Taco Express every Sunday after church. Clearly it's amazing to have become part of our Sunday routine. I spent most of my life in Phoenix, AZ and have high expectations when it comes to Mexican food. Taco Express is some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. The food is incredibly fresh-from the fresh guacamole to the freshly grated cheese (I'm a sucker for freshly grated cheese that doesn't come out of a plastic bag) The menu is vast...tacos, nachos, enchiladas, pretty much anything you could want they have. My personal favorite is the steak supreme nachos, but my husband says the simple bean and cheese burrito is to die for. He has frequently said he is going to get a job there so he can learn how to make those beans. Definitely worth the trip to Columbia to eat some amazing Mexican food!
