Gym Tacos

Gym Tacos is a Mexican restaurant on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, near the NC State campus. The name comes from a line the owners like: it is better to eat some good tacos before going to the gym.

The kitchen cooks traditional Mexican dishes and makes them fresh, with the warm, quick service you want at a taco counter. Late-night options are on the menu too, and customers tend to describe the place as an easy favorite once they have found it.
