Give this place a try. You will like it.Delicious. We had Pastor Tacos, Mix (beans, cheese, chicharron), and All Cheese pupusas. We really liked everything.The Pupusas came with fresh, crunchy, tangy coleslaw that really is the perfect condiment for them.The red and green sauces were smooth and tasty. I personally prefer a lot more heat in my Christmas sauces, but these were unique to the spot and I'm there for it.Importantly, the place was clean and comfortable. There are lots' of hole-in-the-wall (this is a term of endearment here) places that engender a certain sense of adventure/risk when eating there, but not this place. This is a well operated establishment.It really is a joy to find delicious, authentic options in my neighborhood (especially nice considering the best sushi in several mile radius of my house is at Publix lol).

The rice was instant rice. And the beans were dumped out of a can onto the plate cold. I ordered water, and they gave me a bottle that ended up costing $2.50! I would not recommend this place at all.

Really good pastor tacos on homemade corn tortillas. Photos show bar with liquor and beer but, I didn't see any drinks available aside from bottled soda etc. Cheap good food.

This place is very unassuming from the outside but the smells when you open the door make you so hungry. We were greeted by a wonderful woman who took very good care of us. We ordered food and it was out VERY quickly. And the food was amazing. A solid 9.7 out of 10. If you are in town, PLEASE do yourself a favor and stop by here. You will not regret it.

With so many great taco place options in greenville its impossible to say which is the best, which is why its better form to ask "which one should we eat at today?" This is a great location for me when out shopping or just leaving the house for a quick bite to eat. I usually get the unexpected taco varieties like cheek, tongue, liver, etc all of which I love but I know the options have changed so I can not say which of these are currently available. I do know for certain the chicken and chorizo are very good. They are served with fresh: lime, cilantro, and salsa. You are given the option of fresh flour or corn tortillas and the corn tortillas here are some of the best in town. Its a great place to share a corona and grab a bite with your friends or if you and some coworkers just finished a long day on the job and are ready for dinner. Theres usually news and futbol on the tv with captions on. Theres folk style paintings on the walls, colorful woven table linen, and cut paper banners that hang from the ceiling like it was a party. Theres many interesting things on the menu I am curious to try, especially the soups that are pictured. I like restaurants that entice me to try new things, I appreciate that. I have also had the enchiladas verdes plate which was so much food for the price! And the sauces on them were delicious. I can not recommend enough trying the Pupusas. Its like a grilled cheese sandwich but with corn flour. I get mine with the squash blossoms. You take a bite and the cheese pulls like a TMNT pizza slice and its served with this sort of tangy cole slaw type side- Im not sure what it is called but i love it. I would eat it on a carnitas taco or a hamburger.

This place is no comparison to any other Spanish restaurant. I'm a huge foodie and a local to Taylor's. I can assure you, your dining experience will be the same as mine! You will not be disappointed !

Not a fan of anything here except for the pupusas. They're not the best but they're are good enough, decent size portion as well.

Ashley Gary

Very good first time having pupusas and it's now a new fav food my only complaint is the wait time but it was worth it

Edgar C.

Pupusas were really good and generously sized. The Curtido topping wasn't quite as good but the pupusas were good enough to not need it.

Nelson Alberto

I order a soup (no bueno) however pupusas where better and so where the tacos ?.

Was absolutely overcharged for my food, but was not given an itemized bill. Was in a hurry, otherwise would have taken the time to dispute the bill. It's too bad - loved the food, but I won't be back for that reason. Also some of the other patrons (who seemed like regulars) had a staring issue. I didn't seem to be the ideal customer for them.
