I LOVE having this in Liberty! We desperately needed better restaurants in town. The food was delicious, good portions, and served fast. The prices are fair and a better value than some places I've seen. … More

We did take out. Place was outdated, hole in the wall! (Liberty NC) Chips were stale, but my food was good. Just an honest review. Maybe they will update the place to make it nicer, that really matters!! More

Royal Tacos is a great place to sit down and enjoy a good meal, whether it's lunch or dinner. The menu has a large selection of traditional Mexican items. Today was their one year anniversary, and they had a live band playing. Very nice! More

What's a great find right here in Liberty North Carolina! Fabulous food, excellent prices, (Tuesday night taco specials - 3 for $4.50, And you get their homemade chips and homemade salsa with it). I had the grilled chicken with onions and cilantro, and my husband had the carnitas. Both were delicious. Nanneth, our waitress was really kind, made sure we had everything we needed and answered all our questions. We even got some of the salsa and chips to bring home. Everything was perfectly cooked and flavorful, not too salty, which we really appreciated. We will definitely go back!
And we came back the next week to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary! Again delicious food, very reasonable price, and delightful staff. This time we tried the dessert - chocolate cake with flan. As you see we ate every bite!

5 stars all around! We used Royal Taco for a catering need for our team and we cannot say enough positive things about it! Great communication, great food, great experience! Everything was ready on time and our team had plenty of food. We are happy to have a Mexican restaurant that we can locally order from now! More

Always a wonderful experience. They offer traditional Mexican cuisine along with American Tex/Mex dishes. The staff is always very kind and helpful. The kids also love the food so you know it's good. If you want a little kick to your meal be sure to get the salsa verde.

It’s a hole in the wall, but these are the best tacos I’ve had in NC, easily beats any I’ve found in Charlotte since moving here. Fresh corn tortillas, well seasoned pastor meat, fresh salsas - and the steak fajitas were fantastic. Everything was good, reasonably priced and generously portioned.

This is a great little Mexican restaurant in Liberty, NC. The food came out of the kitchen looking freshly prepared. The food was the perfect temperature and delicious. Chips and salsa were brought out before the meal to snack on while your dish is being prepared. Service is fantastic. Stop by here for an outstanding lunch or dinner. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

I was having my car fixed at Liberty Tire and Auto, but it was going to take at least an hour. My friend and I walked over to Royal Tacos, and I was blown away with this wonderful addition to Liberty! First, I am not strictly vegetarian, but I eat meat sparingly. As a result, when I got to a restaurant, I love to see vegetarian options, and this restaurant had plenty! I ordered the spinach enchilada, and wow was it good! It came with rice and a salad plus the chips/salsa they put on the table. Everything was excellent. It was technically three enchiladas smothered in cheese, and wow was it good. My friend ordered the chimichanga and loved it too. The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed.

The food was great. Chips were warm, the chicken and cheese quesadilla was very good, and the steak burrito was great, too. Friendly service was fast. People came and went the whole time. Lots of take outs. Saw many friends there. Great place to meet new and old friends. Best thing Liberty could have!
