The Best Tacos in Auburn, Ranked

The Best Tacos in Auburn, Ranked

As a huge fan of tacos and all Mexican food (or really just all food), I have tried quite a few tacos in my time here at Auburn.

As I approach my senior year, I figured I would share my copious amount of knowledge. There are so many appetizing places to find the perfect tacos in Auburn or Opelika, but here are my absolute favorites, ranked.

In first place is Sword and Skillet’s Hot Honey Chicken Tacos.

This food truck is permanently parked in Midtown and is absolutely incredible. These tacos are to die for; I mean, just look at this picture! I could eat these tacos every day of my life and be happy.

Next, any taco from Tacorita.

You cannot go wrong here. My two personal favorites, which are both tied for number two, is the California Taco and the Chicken Tinga Taco.

 La Cantina Surf and Turf Tacos.

Located in Opelika, La Cantina’s Surf and Turf Tacos are basically mouthwatering goodness. With a great mix of ingredients, you’ll love these tacos!

Be Well, Auburn.
