I love this place. Used to go to Tippy's Tacos in College Park....for many years, and only realized the connection about 10 years ago. I don't go anywhere else for tacos or any Mexican food. Their guacamole is top notch. Even the sodas are good! I like the low key atmosphere and the staff are quite nice. Toucan Taco is the best place to go if you want good food, low key atmosphere and good people.

A little shack on the side of route 198. Standard Tex Mex and carry out. I've been coming here since the early 1970's. It was called Tippy's Tacos ? in those days. The same family stayed with it when the name changed. Cornerstone of old locals, you could say.

The beef tacos are amazing! I love them so much I typically order like 10. The chicken tacos are not my favorite. I don’t typically eat there as the inside is somewhat run down and depressing looking. If you aren’t a local, you wouldn’t blink twice at this place.Parking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yes

Great place. Loved how the owner walked to tables and interacted with everyone. Very friendly. Food is fantastic. Always get the chili!
Some of the best tex-mex you can get in this area. I highly recommend going.

Toucan Taco will always be Tippy's to me, as I have been coming to your restaurant for over 40 years since I was a little girl. You for forever be my favorite, and I always come to your place when I am in Laurel. I came there less than a week ago, and in 40+ plus years it was ther first time I've ever been disappointed. Your queso is my very favorite, but this time I got it it was very runny almost as if it was watered down. I hope and pray you have not changed up your chili con queso recipe, as I would love to continue to come to your restaurant for as long as I can.

The service was horrible. I asked for 2 beef tacos and 2 chicken tacos. I got 4 beef tacos with a lot of lettuce. These tacos did not taste any better than Taco Bell. Everything was wrapped in aluminum foil and I also spilled the queso because nothing was secured.

Toucan Taco better known as Tippy's or Tippy's Taco is a Laurel staple. The name is from the Payerle's family toucan bird, Cyrano. It has been a family operated business since 1972 and a landmark to Gorman Avenue! I'm a third generation Tippy's patron. My Mom has been coming here since she was little and her Mom before. Tippy's is a family ritual and though many family members have moved away, when we are all in Laurel this is where we come. Ginger has done an amazing job at keeping her parent's restaurant identical to how we have all come to adore it. Including the tex-me menu that has been imbedded in our brains--SUNKEN BURRITO. Do yourself a favor and dump your queso on top of your sunken burrito. Do it. I dare you. We love you Tippy's!

A family-owned staple- same great food, service, unique atmosphere for over 50 years. The queso is a must try!

I've been eating here for almost 50 years. It's truly a favorite for the long-time residents of Laurel and every place for miles around. Everything from their Queso cheese dip to their hot ? sauce are the best ? that you can find. Note: they are closed on Sunday and Monday.
