I tried this restaurant last night, I liked the speed of the order, it didn't take long, and the food is delicious, but the quesadilla had a lot of cheese, which covered up the flavor of the chicken. The tacos were very delicious, and they served a lot of appetizers with the meal. The place is great and clean, and there are tables to sit in. I liked the lady who works there a lot, she is very helpful. I recommend it 👍🏻

Tacos are packed with filling and double tortilla’d!! I ordered asada, pollo, and barbacoa- I wish they were more juicy overall, but would definitely get asada again. I think pollo was bit more dry than the others. Ample amounts of cilantro and onion provided. The grilled onions they add are so scrumptious.

Best tacos in the RDU/Chapel Hill area! Was afraid to try tacos in NC but these do not disappoint ! Plus they close late (1am I think) which is great and deff worth the drive. I highly recommend Tacos El Niño. Plus their horchata is 10/10 too!

My boyfriend and I stopped at this taco truck Friday night. I woke up out my sleep at 3am with diarrhea that continued all morning long and the whole next day. I ate chicken taco and half of shrimp quesadilla . This was the only thing I ate that night. I have been having to use the bathroom ever since. I’m also 35 weeks pregnant so that isn’t good. I went in my fridge to inspect left over food and realized the shrimp was not even cooked all the way. Pictures attached! I’m praying I don’t get listeria. I will be reporting to health department. $30 wasted.

Good stop for tacos, which are put together to order. The chorizo is ground fine as you'll see in my photo. Friendly service. A few tables with umbrellas nearby, or just get them to go. Enjoy.
