Best Tacos In Roanoke Va (2025)


There's so much that goes into making a great taco that your everyday taco enthusiast just doesn't have the time for. The mess that draining taco meat causes is worth the outsource alone.

From creating the tortilla from scratch, braising the meat, mixing the guacamole and more, sometimes it's good to let the experts handle the heavy lifting.

Below is a list of the best and most unique tacos of the Roanoke and Salem area that are a great example of how tacos should be done.
