This is a family run Taqueria. The salsa and taco sauce are made fresh daily and are delicious. I'm not sure if I'm there for the meat or the salsa/sauce! The meat is seasoned and delicious. I would love to know how the chef does it. The meat has no gristle, fat etc. We have eaten here for approximately 2... More

Second visit to this restaurant. Food is consistent. The tacos are great and very authentic with the cilantro and onions. The guacamole is creamy and a nice portion with chips. The flautas are crispy and very tasty. The atmosphere is very friendly and the service is great!

I had an order of guacamole which was better than average to go with a carnitas a la mexicana which was very good. Another in the group has tacos which were authentic with cel intro and onion. The...

We were in town recently and my brother, who worked in the area, suggested Taqueria Muniz. Being an avid Tripadvisor eatery researcher, I had my sights set on another Mexican restaurant touting the best margaritas. Not one to miss out on a chance to imbibe during dinner, I pushed my recommendation but eventually gave in to my younger, but not... More

I think Aurora has the best Mexican restaurants. But this place is my go to restaurant. Also when I meet people and we discuss favorite restaurants the Taqueria Muniz always seems to be mentioned first. They have a large assortment of menu items but no tamales and no alcohol. I think they make the best chips and salsa. They have... More
