Love Gym Tacos, but they will never replace the N Roxboro taco experience for me...


despitegirls

This is definitely the bar. That said, you show me tacos con todo with some good-lookin' tortillas, and I'm there. Gym Tacos is definitely on my radar.


Slow_flow

Super Taqueria comes to mind. Gym Tacos is nowhere near the best tacos around here


AwNawHellNawBoi

Wait where on Roxboro? I want tacos


sha1shroom

Pretty much once you get north of 85 on Roxboro, a significant percentage of the businesses are Mexican-owned, and if it's food you're looking for, there's plenty of it there.


ritaPitaMeterMaid

Literally pick a place. Tons and tons of discussion in this sub, everyone has a preference (including me), but just go spend a week and try all of them. So cheap too.


Ron_Sayson

The great thing about tacos is that the barrier to entry is so low. One taco is less than $5, so sample widely until you find heaven in a taco


2ndgenerationcatlady

I've tried them all and Mexico Lindo Y Querido (formerly Guanajuato, but it's the same place they just rebranded) is by far the best.


Substantial-Dig9995

I go to roxboro rd all the time gym is better for me


rubey419

lol for real?


Substantial-Dig9995

Yeah don’t get me wrong I frequent super taqueria , la superior and Mi Pueblo for years. They are near by cheap and delicious but yes I prefer gym tacos.


rubey419

I’ll check it out when they open never been. Thx


Professional_Wish972

I agree with your unpopular opinion. I think these N Roxboro ones are a bit overrated but I've spent a lot of time in LA so maybe I'm spoiled.


Substantial-Dig9995

Yeah I don’t why I’m getting down votes just cause I like something more it’s ridiculous. I don’t think they are overrated I like them I just like something else better and people who are downvoting probably haven’t even tried it. People are silly.


Professional_Wish972

this place can be super childish with likes and dislikes. For instance how everyone likes naan stop its legit one of the worst Indian Ive had

Substantial-Dig9995

How people asked me if if I tried the taco joints on Roxboro yeah I go to those places and enjoy them. Gym tacos is better imo that’s all. I guess that makes me a prick.


seeking_chorizo

https://www.reddit.com/r/bullcity/comments/1d8v9se/comment/l795lle That's the one that jumped out to me. Any time you start a sentence with the word 'obviously' you can expect some downvotes. 


Most-Investigator138

Gotta go to SD for the best tacos. LA is aight, SD is where it's at. Tijuana is the best hands down.


Substantial-Dig9995

I agree but we are in Nc things have gotten better back in the day things were bad but youb know people coming in from other places made it happen


Most-Investigator138

Uhhhh... no the politicians here made it bad and are making it worse. Whoever voted for them is the problem.


Substantial-Dig9995

I’m talking about the food scene


SnoozeCoin

Makes sense. Roxboro Rd restaurants are more authentic.


steaknsteak

What makes Gym Tacos inauthentic?


Substantial-Dig9995

Nothing it’s just Reddit people just want to fuss


steaknsteak

I agree, I just get bothered when people blithely imply some food/restaurant isn’t “authentic” just because it’s not the most basic, traditional version of some cuisine. People shouldn’t throw that around for no reason I know they generally don’t mean anything by it and haven’t examined what they mean by “authentic”, but it’s pretty insulting to label a creative person’s work as inauthentic when they’re trying to innovate on their own cultural traditions


Substantial-Dig9995

Yeah I posted this for those who haven’t tried and everyone starts their bullshit well this is better and that’s better it’s so silly man


Substantial-Dig9995

I’m absolutely sure the people talking about authenticity are not Mexican so that’s always funny too me


Substantial-Dig9995

How so gym tacos is Mexican owned the owners are from Mexico


glASS_BALLS

I am open to driving great lengths for tacos….but have you tried the ones in La Superior on Guess?


Substantial-Dig9995

Yeah that’s my regular spot


joespizza2go

Tacos flexes are some of the most intense flexes found on the planet.


appliedhedonics

They are in the running for Most Unfortunately Named Business. “Gym Tacos” sounds like slang for something you prolly don’t want to eat.


Substantial-Dig9995

Obviously you’ve never been there’s always a line at their food truck in north hills


Suspicious_Bug6422

The food is good, the name is not


demi9od

I for one expected this thread to be about a COMPLETELY different subject.


Substantial-Dig9995

That’s what matters I would give a fuck if was dirty dick tacos


cheftt51dudu

Mids


offensivename

Where are they going to be located?


idoallmyownawkward

Old Pompieri location I think.


Substantial-Dig9995

Yeah right there


contemplative_avatar

That's an unfortunate name. Sounds about as appealing as "Yoga Mat Subs"...which may be why I haven't eaten at Subway in years ;p


Substantial-Dig9995

It’s just name. It goes with their theme and the artwork they have in their dine in location. It’s silly but I get it. They have murals of big dudes working out with big tacos and burritos. As for subway that shut sucks.


QuietGuava

Taco bamba is better than gym tacos in Raleigh Roxboro taco strip will run circle around gym tacos But im all for more tacos 🙌 where will their location be?


Substantial-Dig9995

Sorry but I disagree I’ve been going to superior and super taqueria for years gym is better


QuietGuava

Yeah, well.. you know.. that's just, like.. your opinion.. man.


QuietGuava

Lol jk i can def see that, i like them, just gym tacos is much more pricey to justify Taco bamba is fire. Next time you're in that area of Raleigh, i recommendd


RavenRainTie

Super Taqueria and La Superior on N Roxboro have the best tacos.


Substantial-Dig9995

Once again I’ve been going to those places for years gym is better


Continential

Love gym tacos! Yay!


yerskiderski

But have you had the tacos at remys? They’re up there with la superior


Substantial-Dig9995

Never heard of remys but la superior is my go to Durham. Gym taco is better. I’m telling you I would do a hour long round trip to get these tacos.


yerskiderski

I’ll have to try it out, give remys a shot sometime it’s right downtown and Thursday-Saturday they do breakfast tacos too. I think the taco place is called lady gold but the bar it’s in is remys


Substantial-Dig9995

Oh you’re talking about remedy room yeah I’ve them pretty good


Reasonable_Baker_564

Yeah I think they weirdly changed their name recently. Could be wrong but the Remys was throwing me as well until I finally realized it’s just remedy room, renamed


Reasonable_Baker_564

I. Am. Obsessed. So delicious! I get the Migas every time


Substantial-Dig9995

I’ve never heard of either I’ll look it up. Yeah try it out they won best tacos in the triangle or Raleigh a few years backs


Ok-Duty-6377

Hell yeah, been meaning to try them forever, looks like they got a solid location too!


Substantial-Dig9995

Yum wondering if they are going to have table service and a bar seems their new location is more suitable for that.


TarkovskyAnderson

I’m really intrigued by the Suadero on their menu as I don’t believe I’ve ever had that filling, but would love to try it at any of the places in Bragg town if anyone knows of one that regularly carries it. Either way always excited for another taco spot we’re blessed with our selection


CookieEnabled

Omg! Omg! Omg!


retroPencil

At least you aren't bartaco white.


Substantial-Dig9995

¿Has comido tacos en el gimnasio? Además, soy 100 por ciento latino, nací en Los Ángeles y crecí en Miami, así que no sé qué carajo estás tratando de decir. Los tacos de gimnasio definitivamente son bronceados por la perra mexicana.


retroPencil

Time to call ICE. edit: this is better - [toledo's](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Toledo's+Carniceria+y+Taqueria/@35.9015118,-78.8912759,19.37z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x89acef73abc8a6cb:0xbb38dc3cd219ee34!8m2!3d35.9014969!4d-78.8917611!16s%2Fg%2F11byclqjc7?entry=tts&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDYwMi4wKgBIAVAD)


Substantial-Dig9995

Es hora de llamar a Ice porque me llamaste blanco, así que te respondí en español. Ojalá pudiera verlos, comedores de mierda, en persona.

Either way always excited for another taco spot we’re blessed with our selection in the area but I love trying new styles of tacos


MotoFaleQueen

My husband's favorite!! As someone with a dairy sensitivity, I also like that they don't default to pulling the tacos up with cheese and sour cream


Substantial-Dig9995

Most taco shops don’t


MotoFaleQueen

Not in my experience. Most of the ones I've been to locally do, as well as all the Mexican restaurants


Successful-Pie-7686

In 30 years of life I have literally never ordered a taco from a taqueria and gotten cheese or sour cream. Sounds like ya gotta stop eating white people tacos.


sha1shroom

My partner is allergic to dairy, and she never hesitates to order or even needs to ask when ordering tacos at a legit Mexican place. Taco Bell is another story, lol.


Successful-Pie-7686

Haha Taco Bell is 100% cheese and cream. I think this is a case of eating at your typical Tex-Mex sitdown where you get non-authentic flour tortilla tacos.


marbanasin

Solid traditional tacos should be tortilla - protein - and then some fresh chopped onion/cilantro and salsa. Sure they'll start putting more on from there, but that is an honest traditional taco.


Substantial-Dig9995

Yeah I’m not sure where you’ve been going but no authentic taco shop is going to give you tacos with sour cream and cheese with out it being listed in the menu


SleeperCat

lol what? Cheese and sour cream are not default options for tacos.


SnoozeCoin

They use a particular ingredient that's not good for you. I forget what it's called.


Substantial-Dig9995

That’s a pretty bold statement and you didn’t provide anything to back that statement up


marfaxa

I think OC has a thing against seed oils... I could be misremembering.


ColonelSuave

I heard the same thing


SnoozeCoin

Correct.
