About This Place

Don Becerra Taqueria is a vibrant gem nestled in the heart of Durham, NC, offering an authentic taste of Mexico through a menu that exudes rich tradition and bold flavors. Specializing in classic Mexican cuisine, this cozy taqueria invites you to indulge in a culinary journey where every dish tells a story of heritage and passion.

Their Al Pastor stands out as a crowd favorite, perfectly marinated pork cooked to tender perfection, boasting a delightful balance of smoky, sweet, and savory notes. For those craving comfort, the Chicken Enchiladas envelop tender shredded chicken in a rich, velvety mole sauce— a plate Mark Babbitt raves about as "superb" and not to be missed. If you are seeking something lighter but equally satisfying, the Pork Taco and Chicken Taco topped with fresh cilantro and onions deliver vibrant, fresh bursts of flavor in every bite, as Bob Campbell elevated their tacos to the best in town, emphasizing their juicy, flavorful meat and fast, friendly service.

Seafood lovers will appreciate the Mojara Frita, a fried whole fish that promises crispy skin and succulent flesh, a dish so intriguing that Ben Miller highlighted it as a must-try. For hearty appetites, the Carne de Res Con Papas En Salsa Verde, served alongside rice and beans, offers a comforting, savory experience bursting with traditional tastes. And for a truly authentic experience, the Menudo and Chuletas de Puerco showcase rustic Mexican home-style cooking that warms both the body and soul.

Despite its modest size, Don Becerra Taqueria delivers generous portions that won’t break the bank, offering unbeatable value without compromising on flavor or quality. The atmosphere is inviting and unpretentious, making it the perfect spot for a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner, or a gathering with friends and family.

    Small tacqueria with great food. The red sauce is awesome! I got three tacos for under ten dollars. It's hard to beat that lunch deal. If I lived here I'd be going back all the time. I think the chorizo was my favorite of the three varieties I tried. I also had the al pastor and carne asada. All very good. All the other plates looked amazing too, especially a fried whole fish.

    We have been hesitant to write this review because we love this place so much and we are scared we will have to wait longer for these delicious tacos! Durham is secretly a small hub for authentic and delicious street tacos. There a dozens of taco trucks and small taquerias speckled around the city. We have tried many and have come the conclusion that Don Becerra is at the top of the list! They do offer other menu items, but we love the tacos too much to venture away. These are traditional tacos consisting of homemade fresh tortillas, the most flavorful, saucy, and juicy meats, cilantro, onion, and a lime wedge on the side. They are perfection. Our favorites in no particular order are al pastor, campechano, lengua, and birria. 10/10 would recommend but keep it on the DL.

    Best place for original/ authentic tacos and sopes. This is an unassuming little place, but don't let that fool you. You will have real Mexican food at a very good price. The salsas are all made in house , fresh and delicious. These ladies treat you like family.
