Build Your Next Taco Order, One Craving at a Time
The best part of a taco menu is the possibility. You can return to a favorite, try something new, or do a little of both. At Tacos Monterrey, our meat choices include al pastor, chicken, carne asada, carnitas, chorizo, tripa, and birria. There is also a shrimp taco on the menu.
Instead of choosing at random, build your order around the kind of meal you are craving. A little contrast makes each taco more interesting.
START WITH SOMETHING YOU ALREADY LOVE
If your usual order is carne asada, let that be your starting point. If you always reach for chicken, keep one chicken taco in the mix. A familiar first choice gives you something to compare with the next filling.
That everyday appeal shows up in food creator Isabel Orozco-Moore’s chicken taco guide, updated in September 2026. It is one of her most popular recipes, and its appeal is simple: a well-seasoned filling can carry a meal without complicated extras.
ADD A LITTLE CURIOSITY
For your next choice, move to a different filling rather than repeating your first. Try carnitas beside carne asada, or compare chicken with chorizo. Birria is another option when you want to explore a different style of taco. Curious about tripa? Ask the team how it is prepared so you know what to expect before ordering.
Prefer seafood? Our shrimp taco is listed with grilled shrimp, bell pepper, onion, and tomato. It offers a different combination from the meat choices, making it a useful starting point for seafood fans.
TASTE BEFORE YOU TURN UP THE HEAT
Try a bite as served before adding anything extra. Then ask which salsas are available and add a little to your next bite. This gives you a chance to notice the filling instead of letting the hottest sauce make every taco taste the same.
When you eat with a friend, compare your favorites. Which filling would you order again? Which surprised you? A taco stop can become a small tasting adventure without needing a special occasion.
MAKE IT A MEAL
Our menu also lists a three-taco plate with rice and beans. If you want to combine fillings, ask the team which choices are available for that plate. For a sweet finish, look for the caramel churro on the sides menu.
Bring your appetite and one curious choice. There is always another reason to come back for tacos.
