This was my second time here and I decided to try the Turpido this time after reading good reviews. I am so glad I tried this because it was so delicious and they put a good amount of meat!!! This really is my favorite Taqueria I’ve tried in Sioux Falls. The first time I came I got asada tacos and those were amazing as well. Edit: Tried the asada burrito today and man it was another hit! So freaking good. I have not been disappointed in anything I’ve ordered here. Just keep in mind there is nowhere to sit and eat inside and they take cash only, no debit or credit. Everyone was super friendly when I came in. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Reminds me of the good Mexican food at home in California.

I saw this place a few months ago and finally stopped in... I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! Staff and the owner were very friendly!! I ordered a burrito, and it was probably the best one I've had in years! Big and full of stuff!! I asked to get a small sample of the menudo. The owner ended up giving me a partial bowl of it. I loved it, so I bought an order. The tortillas they make are amazing & have a very fair price! Highly recommend at stop in for fresh food & corn tortillas!!!

Fresh made shells for our street tacos! Wonderful flavor and generous portions. Some of the best sioux falls has to offer. We've been in search of the perfect ones since moving here. Make sure you have cash. They don't accept cards.

Great spot for tacos in Sioux Falls. Was coming to town for the marathon from Chicago with my wife and we stopped by here and grabbed some tacos and a burrito. Was blown away by the quality of the tortillas and steak. They make their tortillas by hand and don’t skimp on the portion sizes. The burrito I had is one of the best I’ve ever had. If you live in the area or visiting Sioux Falls, definitely stop by and give them a try.

This place is a mom and pop style Mexican restaurant, 100% amazing food. This place makes their own tortillas let me tell you about flavor! Very clean inside and in the kitchen. This is a must try if you are close to the downtown area!

First words that come to mind... Oh My Gosh! Absolutely delicious! We moved here from Texas and have been disappointed in the choices for real tacos and such. Well, we found our place! Staff is super friendly too which is always a win! If you're in Sioux Falls and want a tasty meal... go here! You won't regret it at all! YUMMMMM-E! OH, be sure to call in your order! They're SUPER busy! That's what happens when you create beautiful food!

Great service and great food to boot! Their burritos are huge and packed with flavor! My wife and I usually have them once a week for lunch, and it never disappoints.
