These thick, fried corn tortillas are topped with your choice of Asada or Adobada, accompanied by beans, lettuce, sour cream, cheese, and a drizzle of salsa. It's a satisfying, comforting dish that’s perfect for lunch or dinner, offering a rich and satisfying bite that combines crispy, savory, and creamy textures in every mouthful.
3. Quesadillas: Cheese Lovers’ Paradise
No Mexican meal would be complete without a quesadilla, and Tacos Selene delivers one of the best in town. The quesadillas are packed with melted cheese and your choice of protein, including the popular Asada or Adobada. They’re grilled to perfection, crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, making them a favorite for both kids and adults. Add some guacamole or salsa on the side for extra flavor!
Reviews
We stopped here kind of randomly for a quick lunch and enjoyed it. Great tacos, refried beans and rice. Simple clean atmosphere, good service with smiles. Seemed like a place with a steady lunch crowd. Nothing extraordinary but really quite good. We would definitely go again.
We wanted to try a new taco spot and decided to ordered tacos Selene to go. My husband got the smothered burrito which was seriously massive! The green chile was really good. I ordered beans, an adobada taco, barbacoa taco, al pastor sope and carne asada sope. My favorite was the barbacoa taco. I had high hopes for the sopes bc I hadn't had one in so long but they were just okay. If I went back I would definitely order the barbacoa again!
You would think it's your run of the mill taco place but it's actually really good. I've been to several food trucks and eateries. I would say this place is only about 2 steps down from kikes red tacos. It's very authentic and very well priced! $9 for a huge burrito.
One of my favorite things about this place is the variety of both meat & salsa options! It's hard to find tripas & buche but this place not only has them, but they know how to do it! I ordered a burrito & a few tacos with an array of meats. I ordered at the restaurant & I did not have to wait too long. MUST visit!
This is some of the best Mexican food I have had. I have traveled all over and it's very authentic and old school Mexican, not Tex mex. The service is also great and fast. Their red sauce is also their spiciest and very delicious. The ambiance could use a little work, but it adds to the charm.
