Taco Mama

Triad’s Best Lunch

Taco Mama, in both Guilford and Forsyth Counties, is bringing the heat in this year’s YES! Weekly’s Triad’s Best.

Located on Lawndale Drive in Greensboro and Burke Mill Road in Winston-Salem, the causal Mexican style restaurant chain debuted in Greensboro in 2017. The specialty taco bar originated in Alabama, and the Lawndale location was their fl agship franchise here in North Carolina. Since the doors opened, people have been fi lling the tables and chairs, ordering tacos and tipping back margaritas, long before the North Carolina summer weather came back around.

The interior style of the restaurant is eccentric yet classy. Filled with old-school artwork, accompanied by large-scale paintings and an extensive, colorful menu, a brightly lit bicycle, and Edison light bulbs draped from the exposed-wooden ceiling creates a hipster vibe for authentic Mexican. A vibe that Triad residents have come to expect along with the array of great, affordable food.

This year, both locations racked up almost 10 awards in the Triad’s Best.

The chain, known for its handcrafted tacos, build your own burritos, free toppings and marvelous margaritas, takes fi rst place in the Best Lunch category, Best Tacos in Forsyth County and Best Margaritas in Forsyth County. They take second place in the Best Margarita in Guilford County, Best Family Restaurant, Best Mexican Restaurant in Guilford County, Best Mexican Restaurant in Forsyth County and Best Taco in Guilford County categories. They came in as runner-up in the Best Cheap Eats category.
