Taqueria Soto, Llc - Shepherd

This is one of those I hate to do because I don’t like any of you enough to be willing to share this food.After spending the winter in Texas five years ago, I learned there is no Mexican food in Michigan! Places I used to think were a Nine in Michigan were actually a 4 when compared to Mexican food in Texas. Of all the places to find awesome Mexican food? Oil City! How is that possible?I have driven by Taqueria Soto many times. A quick glance at goggle maps shows a rating of 4.8. Today I decided to try going there for lunch.I expected the place to be a dive inside. It is not. Very clean, neat, and simple. Some Mexican groceries and nick-nacks are prominently displayed. The menu has a nice assortment of choices. When my wife and I try a new place, we try to order at least 3 different things to get a varied number of choices. Today, it was a steak burrito, chicken gorditas, and a chicken quesadilla. Turning a couple into dinner added rice and beans.Tortillas – made fresh, perfectly cooked to order.Meat – Wonderful flavor and texture.Vegetables – crisp fresh lettuce and tomatoAvocado – Fresh cut and pristineRice and bean – Made fresh and delicious. I have not enjoyed anything close to this good since Texas.I want to head back right now and sample the rest of the menu.Mexican music playing, appropriate décor, and charming staff. Sergio was the consummate host. I wish I could give 6 stars.And yes it looks so good we were already eating before we took pictures!

Delicious food! Best taco place in the area for sure. Orange salsa is spicy but if you can handle it, absolutely delicious! Will be here very often

Great authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices. Pleasant atmosphere and staff very friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone in the area.Wheelchair accessibility: One level building with no steps and easy access.

I had not idea this was here until yesterday. I'm so glad we decided to try it yesterday! The corn tacos are amazing! ? Service was nice, instant fast! We will be back.

This food was excellent and authentic. The menu is not overbearing while still giving everyone plenty of options. We were given fast quality service and the music made us all feel like dancing. Definitely will be back. If you’ve been driving past this spot you’re missing out on a great meal.
