Elotes | 602 Donald Preston Dr #104, Wolfforth Tx | (806) 855-2023
Head south to visit Wollforth’s newest must-try. At Elotes, the chef puts a local twist on a tradition favorite. Guests can’t go wrong when trying the baby back rib taco (does anything sound more Texas than that?) and delicious roasted Elotes, a sweet corn mixture missed with mayo, crema, chili powder and cheese. 

Now We Taco’N Taqueria | 1021 University Ave | (806) 778-6913
At Now We Taco’N Taqueria, quality meets authenticity. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this taco hot spot since my first bite into a carne asada street taco. The ratio of cilantro, onion and lime to the flavorful meat is scientific.  If you love a good taco, you can try out Now We Taco’N Taqueria’s food truck or restaurant near Texas Tech University campus!

Chimy’s has a range of fish tacos, soft or crispy, with all the combinations you could ask for. We recommend the green chili chicken soft taco. You can’t go wrong with Chimy’s fun atmosphere – day or night!
