In 1990, Roselia Flores left Mexico and journeyed to California. Eight years later, she found herself in Durham with a dream. In 2001, she was able to secure grants and a loan from Mechanics & Farmers Bank, a historically Black-owned community bank, to open a restaurant that would help Latinos succeed and integrate into the greater Durham community. Super Taqueria, which continues to operate today, serves tacos and other authentic Mexican food.

Excellent Mexican food! Unfortunately, we are at the end of our stay in Durham or we would have returned many times to Super Taqueria to taste everything on the menu! Good value for dollar spent.
We had the torta with pastor (marinated pork). The sandwich included the pastor, onion, jalapenos, may, muenster cheese, pineapple, tomato, lettuce, sliced avocado and cilantro. What a great taste combination! Chips were good. Got a side of refried beans which were pretty good.
But, the big deal was the salsa bar. Two green salsas (one a little hotter than the other), one red (mild), great pico, fresh cilantro, chopped onion and a habanero salad that was extremely hot, but incredibly tasty!
Very nice and colorful decor and paintings. I would have liked more Mexican music playing. I think the only music we heard was from the kitchen.
Tres leches cake was amazing (moist but not soupy). Coffee was good, served in a unique mug with a side of three little cookies. -
The absolute best torta I've ever had in the United States. I've been looking for one like this for many years after having had them in Mexico. Beans, meat, onion, lettuce, tomato, avocado, jalapeño, and really good cheese on perfectly grilled bread. BTW this was my third visit to this restaurant, I've also been impressed with their tacos and huaraches. I recommend the brisket (suadero) for your taco and your torta!

I ordered 4 pounds of carne asada and 2 pounds of pastor, spending a total of $105. For that amount of food, the only pico de gallo provided was a small container that was barely filled. It was not enough for such a large order.
This has happened multiple times, and it is very disappointing because we order food for parties often. I would like to speak with the owner and get clarification on the store’s policy regarding sides and portions, because the same issue continues to happen. I hope this can be addressed so customers receive consistent service and fair portions with large orders. -
We just had the suadero huarache platter and asada tacos — absolutely amazing! 😍 Flavor was spot on, portions were generous, prices super cheap, and the staff (as always) were wonderful. A perfect meal all around! 🌮✨

Great place for authentic Mexican fare. I ordered the beef tongue burrito, asked how big it was... was told "not so big" so also ordered a taco - turns out the burrito was fairly large. In the picture I am only showing 1/2 of it. I was still full at dinner time. Both were full of flavor and the condiment bar was well stocked to spice it up any way you want. Will be back! 13/10
