La Capital Tacos

Anytime my cousin and I break for lunch in Troy, there's only one place on our minds: La Capital Tacos. This gem of a taco joint has won us over time and time again with its authentic fare, friendly staff, and laid-back ambiance. As self-proclaimed "hillbillies" from upstate NY, we may not have aced Spanish in school, but we've certainly mastered our order at this little slice of Mexican heaven. Right off the bat, the staff at La Capital Tacos are always welcoming and patient. They're happy to navigate us through their Spanish menu, answering our questions and guiding us to delectable selections. The language barrier doesn't impede the order; instead, it adds to the authentic charm of the place. Then there are the drinks. They offer an impressive array of Mexican sodas and traditional beverages. Standouts include the sweet and refreshing horchata, and a vibrant hibiscus tea, the name of which slips my mind, but the taste certainly lingers on my tongue. After ordering and picking our drinks straight from the fridge, we're handed a table number. The efficiency of their service impresses us every time as our order arrives promptly at our table, hot and ready to be devoured. The tacos. Oh, the tacos! Whether it's beef, pork, fish, or chicken, each has its own unique burst of flavors. Topped with fresh pico and creamy guacamole, they're a feast in themselves. But the real game changer? Their salsa verde and hot sauce. They pack a punch and take the flavor to another level. Fair warning though - they're not for the faint of heart! La Capital Tacos has undoubtedly become a favorite of ours. Their authentic Mexican food, warm service, and relaxed setting make each lunch break feel like a mini-vacation. It's a place we highly recommend to anyone at HQ looking for a memorable lunch break in Troy. So, here's to many more lunches at La Capital Tacos - a genuine culinary gem in the heart of Troy!

This is my first time going to a more Hipster Taco Spot. Its very hipster and you can tell by the prices. I ordered 2 horchatas and 1 order of quesa birria tacos and 1 order of tacos de carnitas. Total was 36$. The food we got was good , I for sure thought I was going to get some super american tacos. I almost did not order but gracias a los cosineros la comida tenía buen sabor especialmente el consume de la birria.

Absolutely amazing authentic tacos! My friend and I stopped for lunch and had the most wonderful experience. We ordered a couple of different tacos to share from the friendly cashier and headed outside with our drinks to dine inside an igloo. We decided to try the carnitas and the al pastor tacos con todos and the birria tacos with consomé. The tacos came incredibly fast and were delicious. Everything was so fresh! I had the horchata and my friend tried the Jamaica water. The horchata was delightfully creamy and refreshing with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. The Jamaica water was pleasantly sweet and tart. Eating outside in a warm igloo on a cold winters day was a novelty worth repeating. I highly recommend, go today!!

Authentic, fresh, and delicious. Birra was really awesome. Burrito was made with delicious Al pastor. Food came out quickly and the outdoor seating area was lovely. My only complaint is for the price the burrito could of been 2 times the size. Not a legit complaint, but I like my burritos to absolutely put me to sleep like the warm embrace from Mom.
