It’s easy to find a family-owned Mexican restaurant or large national fast-food Tex-Mex chain in just about every town these days, but that wasn’t always the case. Back in the day, North Dakota was lacking in burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. There was one shop that started in the Fargo area decades ago with the goal of introducing this state to the wonderful taste that is Mexican cuisine. Today, they’re still around, and they make some of the best tacos in North Dakota.

Taco Shop was established in 1961 in Fargo, North Dakota with the hopes of introducing the state to Mexican cuisine, and they succeeded.
