Fast Break: Taco n Sabor

In some areas of Baton Rouge, it’s hard to find anything like the authentic tiny taco shacks that populate the Southwest, but Tacos n Sabor on College Drive (Map It!) is the real deal. With a menu entirely in Spanish and tortillas cooked up fresh right behind the counter, this quick lunch stop is worth it.

The menu offers a solid lineup of Mexican standards—burritos, tostadas, gorditas, tortas and quesadillas—but the simplicity of the restaurant’s namesake dish makes it a winner for less than $5. An order of Tacos n Sabor’s signature tacos will get you one beef and one chicken taco on corn or flour tortillas—just enough for a satisfying take-out lunch—and the toppings bar lets you choose whichever additions you want at no additional cost. Crisp onions, flavorful pico de gallo and an assortment of salsas piled atop seasoned, slow-cooked meats make for a full and balanced taste experience proving tacos don’t need to be fancy to be good.
