Super Taco

Third time, love it more each time. Good food, priced right. I skip the big Mexican places for this little dive every time in Champaign.

Great food. I love the chicken tacos on dollar tacos on Taco Tuesday. And for all the dummies forgetting a drink it says on the signs with purchase of drink! How do you eat 3 – 4 tacos without a drink anyways?

Ordered tacos today, meal came out, I took a bite, almost spit it out, something was so off with the meat. Looked a bit closer, meat was a funny grayish-​green color. Cheap food, just praying I don’t get food poisoning from it. Ended up throwing it away, and going somewhere else.

Ordered Chimichangas, Nachos, and some Guacamole on the side. It’s the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long while. I recommend this to anyone in the area looking for fresh ingredients, fresh corn tortilla chips, and perfectly prepared meals.
Definitely going once more within the next month.

I come here regularly and get the chorizo enchladas with beans and rice. So good. Place is unassuming and usually not crowded. People are friendly. Hot salsa is hot, but not to an extreme, which I’ve definitely had. I think the folks who have freaked out about it are overexaggerating, or just not at all used to it.

Siri can you let the Unilocal know that the chicken is cubed now and not shredded so I don’t think it’s a good place to go to have tacos cause is that shredded chicken anymore it’s cute so that’s a bad thing thank you

Good cheap food. Fast for being a Sunday night with seemingly only one guy working. Would recommend!

Great tacos, price is reasonable and quality always consistent. The hot salsa is very good too. Usually give one cup of salsa per taco on to go orders.

Best Tacos I’ve had in the area thus far. Service is fast and friendly. Wide array of beverages from Mexico plus standard Pepsi products. Always clean and usually not crowded.

First time at Super Taco and I was very happy with the food and the price. I got 2 soft chicken tacos, 1 cheese enchilada and a large bottle of coke (import from Mexico) all for only $ 6.94! I will definitely be back. Other than their vast selection of authentic Mexican dishes, they have more import soda flavors from Mexico than I’ve ever seen in a Mexican restaurant. Definitely a casual dress place, you order at the counter and they call you when your food is ready and you go get it.

I think they got their name inspiration from super niros across the street. I had the chorizo tostada, chicken quesadilla and chicken tamale. All were tasty for the price! Chicken quesadilla wasnt substantial, howeber doused in the sauce it was tasty. By the time I had the tamale, my mouth was on fire from their extra hot sauce. Everything was well cooked, clean and fair for the price.
Horchata didn’t taste syrup made and the restaurant was clean overall. Everyone was really friendly and the Tabasco sauce wallpaper fit well despite not serving Tabasco sauce in the store.
Good for the price, try it out! Will be back to try the mahi mahi tacos
Also they have a «super burrito» which is 20 inches long… What.

The food is always consistently good & authentic. Authenticity is important to me in foreign cuisines, and having lived in Mexico, I know the difference all too well.
Pros
Authentic
Freshly cooked
Full of al pastor versus being stingy with meat
Neutral
You fill your own cups with ice, not a big deal, but that’s about the only neutral thing I can think of.
Cons
No delivery
A bit overpriced per taco
I read another review complaining about the mild sauce being too hot. When eating foreign cuisine, it would be best to remember that you mild & their mild may vary quite a bit. It’s always best to try a little at a time.

Cheap way to fill your belly. Quick service. No tips to a server. Free drink refills.
Clean.
Friendly employees.

I always order vegetarian sopes, and I love them. My favorite ones in town. I also really like their salsa.

We love this place. We come here often and we have not had any of the problems described in the poor reviews. Food is great, price is good and they are always friendly. Salsa has always been on point too. The chorizo and pastor may talk back a bit but… hello it’s generally a greasier meal so it’s to be expected. We loved the fajitas (bisteak and pollo), and it’s food for days! The young one gets the hamburger… I know, I know BUT she always takes home a patty for the dog (it comes with 2) and she loves it. I think this place is great and we will keep coming back!

I’ve only been once, but I’m glad I tried it despite the negative reviews. I had a chorizo burrito to go with extra cilantro and jalapenos and it was awesome. The price was awesome, too. It was a huge serving, enough for two meals, and under $ 6.

This Food is terrible. We won’t be coming back.:(
Update: I ended up getting violently ill that night after eating at this place.
I had the chicken fajita quesadilla, and their cheese is not cheese. It is a white slimy sticky substance used to glue everything together. I literally ate about 5 bites of it, and threw the rest out. My daughter, who eats anything, got the super nachos and threw those out too.
These people need to do a complete menu overhaul.

My daughter (10 years old) had a taste for tacos… so since we were in the area I stopped at Super Taco! We had the 99 cent beef tacos since it was the special on Tuesday. We asked for mild sauce and was given xtra xtra HOT sauce! The sauce was so hot she gulped down her entire soda and my water… but her lips and mouth was still on fire! The tacos… one word… GREASY! Greasy like an oil spill! This place is such a disappointment and waste of good space.
Don’t waste your money! Go to Maize or Huaraches Moroleon.

Took my daughter and her friend here Saturday. We ordered tacos. When I picked the order up I asked for mild taco sauce and was handed a bottle. I gave it to the girls and they put it on their tacos. They took one bite and my daughter threw the taco down and started spitting it out and crying about how hot it was. Her friend, who can eat hot sauce with the best of them, said it was hot too. She took another bite and her eyes started to water. She then threw her taco down too and said she couldn’t eat it either. I on the other hand did not put taco sauce on my taco. I took one bite and grease oozed out of it! That was enough for me to throw down my taco too. Needless to say all of the tacos were thrown away and we left never to return again.
I did try the taco sauce the girls were handed and it was extremely hot. I don’t know if it was given to us as some kind of mean joke or if it was a mistake. But either way it was a very bad experience for all of us.

4.5 stars. Some of these negative reviews are totally out of left field. This might be the *best* non-​chain fast food currently in town.
This is a great taco joint, the kind of taqueria someone visits who knows what tacos are supposed to taste like. The place is immaculately clean, service is fast, and they follow all of the most important rules:
Tacos have onion and cilantro and two tortillas. Chorizo is well seared and a little crispy. Beef tacos, while not so traditional, have an amazing tomato base that makes this place Taco Tuesday destination dining. Mexican coke. Three salsas of varying heat, all delicious. I agree that the steak tacos are a little firm, chicken is OK. They have all the other stuff like burritos and quesadillas too, but this is fundamentally a great taco joint.
Really, for these prices, quality, a parking lot, and proximity to campus (about 3.5 miles) this is future destination dining for the University of Illinois students after a few drinks. There’s nothing this good by campus, and in a bad food town such as C/​U this place deserves a lot of attention.
