About

About Taco Roos

Taco Roos is a homegrown North Carolina fast-food concept that has quietly earned a devoted following since opening its first location at 429 South College Road in Wilmington, NC. Operating alongside a Cook Out drive-thru, the brand blends classic American fast food with Tex-Mex staples, giving customers an unusually broad menu under one roof. The Wilmington location draws heavy traffic from nearby UNCW students and late-night diners, with the restaurant staying open past midnight on weekends.

The menu is anchored by approachable, wallet-friendly items: pressed quesadillas for under $2, the signature Roos Walkin' Taco served in a Doritos bag, and the trademarked Roos Rounds. A second location at 839 Julian Ave in Thomasville, NC, has expanded the brand's reach into the central Piedmont region of the state. Reviewers consistently praise the quality-to-price ratio and fresh lemonade offerings. Sauces — including a house cilantro adobo and a salsa verde — add a scratch-kitchen feel to the fast-food experience.

With just two locations, Taco Roos remains a true local gem rather than a franchise chain. The restaurant's informal, drive-thru-friendly format and late hours make it a perennial favorite for students and budget-conscious families alike, where feeding a group of four for under $30 is entirely achievable.
