The food was not very good. The quesadillas were small and barely had cheese for $11. It was not worth my money and will not be going back.

The food was phenomenal. We are from Houston, Texas where there’s an amazing Mexican restaurant every block. When we moved to Virginia, we couldn’t find the same authentic Mexican food, so when we saw this taco truck, we had to stop by and try it. That was the best decision ever. The tacos were delicious, the salsas that come with were rich with flavor. The Al Pastor is the best and the Birria had a deep beef flavor that was unforgettable. If you’re looking for good food that will be served quickly by kind people, this is the spot to go.

I am VERY picky about tacos birria and this place is DELICIOUS. My family and I were on our way back home from a family trip on a 30 ft drivable RV at 10:30 pm. The entrance was easy and parking was also easily accessible. The staff was super kind and patient.. we have a big family and an indecisive mother lol. Our food was ready within minutes. It was beyond delicious. Their consume with the tacos is TOP NOTCH. It has a lemon like taste. I saw the guy boiling it in the pot, freshly made. Tacos are $3 each and sodas are also $3 each. Absolutely worth it.

Best tacos in Charlottesville, no doubt. Tacos are amazing and salsa has tons of flavor. First bite surprised me with how good it was! Grilled onions were so good. Don’t pass this spot up if you’re in the area

Tako Nako serves up authentic Mexican street food, including delicious quesadillas, tacos, and more. The food quality was outstanding, and we got to enjoy our meal in the cozy restaurant, sipping Coke from a glass bottle while a soap opera played on the TV. This family-owned gem definitely deserves five stars.

This is my go-to spot on my way from lynchburg to charlottesville, richmond, or DC. It’s quick, delicious, and the salsa that comes with the quesadillas is free, so that’s a great bonus. They’ve got a bunch of beverage options and a good, covered spot to stop, rest and eat!

Excellent food, service and prices! On our way to see Eric Church and happened upon this place on Route 29. Chicken quesadilla and steak tacos were delicious. We had to get a steak quesadilla to go after eating our meals.

We were happy to find a delicious tacos at El Take Nako at 11pm on a federal holiday after a long day of travel. Turns out they are open EVERY DAY from noon to midnight so we will definitely be back. Photo is the Birilla, a taco with stewed meat that comes with a side of the stew for dipping and overall enjoyment 🙂 Staff was friendly!

Didn’t have time to take a picture of the consome because it was to good but here’s the ode to a flavor I didn’t know existed..
“This ain’t just broth.
It’s a slow-burn sermon.
Oil thick with truth,
spices that don’t ask — they command.
It hits deep.
Like smoke in your lungs
and fire in your blood.
You sip it once,
and your brain rewrites what flavor means.
No shortcuts.
No gimmicks.
Just real heat, real depth,
and the kind of silence that follows greatness.”

Solid taco truck options in Cville with some decently late hours to be able to get yummy late-night food. In the laundrybmat parking lot. Has a few tables to eat outside but a great place to grab and go. Food comes out fast. Cash and credit card accepted. Green sauce is rather nice. Very good taco truck!
