Real taquería food for Rustburg and Campbell County

Campbell County doesn't have a taquería on every corner. We're a straightforward drive through Lynchburg and out Forest Road, and ordering ahead means the stop takes two minutes.

Why people drive up from Campbell County

Slow-cooked birria, house-made salsas and corn tortillas griddled to order aren't easy to find close to home in Campbell County. That's usually what brings people up from Rustburg and the surrounding area — not convenience, but the specific thing they're after.

Since you're already making a trip, order-ahead pickup is the difference between a quick stop and a long one. Pick a slot on the ordering page that matches when you'll arrive and the bag is ready when you walk in.

It's also a good reason to order for more than one meal. Tacos, burritos, sides of rice and beans, and a tres leches for later all fit in one order, and the drive back is the same either way.

Worth knowing
  • Order online before you leave Rustburg
  • Slow-cooked items can sell out later in the day
  • Sauces packed on the side by default for pickup
  • Catering available for Campbell County events
