Taco Mayo - Norman

Taco Mayo has been one of my favorite places for TexMex fast food since the late 80 's. Not astoundingly good compared to a sit-down full service Mexican restaurant certainly, but consistently good for over 30 years in my experience. I appreciate that most of the food is prepared on site and they use a lot of fresh ingredients. I can look at my plate and identify each thing and not wonder what it is or what lab it came from. Nachos are a real treat here because they serve up a good portion and not some sad little cup of petrochemical cheese sauce with a handful of broken chips. Their masterpiece nachos can be an actual meal into themselves. The 'locos ' are another unexpected item. Sure, fried potatoes are nothing new on fast food, but these are little hash brown discs fried crisp with a chili seasoning that adds a nice alternative texture and flavor to the usual taco and burrito fare.

I just discovered Taco Mayo 6 months ago when I moved to Norman. I love it! It's my fav fast food!

Great prices and pretty quick. I like their crispy tacos and potato locos. Their beef quesadilla is also really good. The workers are friendly and helpful.
