The Soup and Taco 2, nestled on William Street in Fredericksburg, VA, is a hidden gem that offers an authentic Mexican dining experience. With glowing reviews from customers like Scott Lisech, who praises the “great service” and lovely outdoor seating, it's clear that this restaurant isn't just about the food—it's about the entire experience.

Rick Johnson’s enthusiastic endorsement brings attention to the standout offerings: the brisket tacos and shrimp salad, which boast fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors. But the real showstopper, according to miss elise, is the tacos de birria—described as “crunchy, cheesy, and delicious,” with a consome that's simply “chef’s kiss.” Such rave reviews suggest the chef’s commitment to quality and authenticity.

Brenda Miller emphasizes the significance of their signature Cream of Crab soup and the addictive salsa that patrons find hard to resist. Each dish seems to tell a story of culinary passion, making every visit memorable. With quick service and reasonable prices, it's no wonder that Maria Gaffney is eager to return. The Soup and Taco 2 is more than just a meal; it’s a delightful journey through Mexican flavors that keeps diners coming back for more.

I have to say I was thinking it's just another hole in the wall place, but it's geniunely great mexican food. We've enjoyed the brisket tacos, shrimp salad, and few other items that were just wonderful. The flavors are great and the ingrediants are very fresh. This has become our goto place when craving a great taco or such.

Soup and Taco 2 es el amor amor de mi vida. If you want GREAT tacos de birria you have got to come here. I test other restaurants out but not a single one has compared. The flavor is delicious, it’s crunchy, it’s cheesy, the consome is chef’s kiss! Hands down favorite taco place, I would eat it everyday if I could.

Bring your appetite! We've been frequenting Soup & Taco and Soup & Taco II for 15 years and never once have had a bad meal. This Mexican/Latin American restaurant has become one of our favorites in Fredericksburg. The Cream of Crab is a signature soup AND SECOND TO NONE! You won't go wrong with either black bean or chicken tortilla soup either. I'm not sure how they make the salsa, but it's incredible. WARNING the salsa and chips are addictive. Save room for the entrees! I've tried everything on this menu, and it doesn't disappoint. Tacos del Birria are my favorite (this month). The staff is the best. The owners are hard-working and extremely charitable within our community. Do yourself a favor and stop on in!

The black bean soup was delicious!! They brought chips and salsa which was really good too. They were really quick to bring out the food and everything was reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be back!

I love the tacos here! We ordered our food to go and enjoyed a margarita and a beer on the outside patio as we waited. They have very friendly staff and make a good drink. The food is terrific and filled with awesome flavor, yet simple and easy for a quick snack or a fulfilling lunch/dinner. The location seems perfect for walking from the UMW or from the downtown. It’s away from the crowds and across the street from Freddy Doughnuts. They have plenty of locals and foot traffic to make up for the lack of a parking lot. Inside is cozy and there is also a small bar. We preferred to sit outside under an umbrella and we had a puppy with us. This is a great local gem and I highly recommend a visit.

Decided to check them out as a family for dinner. Service was great and quick. Tried a few items from their appetizers menu and some soups (black bean and clam chowder). Everything was delicious. Definitely recommend it, and we will be back

This is really cool little fusion eatery in Fredericksburg Virginia. The menu is Latin/ Cajun inspired tacos, soups, and more. I had the Creamy Crab soup and Blackened Tuna tacos. Both were excellent. The flavors were bold, the food was seasoned well, and everything tasted fresh. If you are looking for something a little different, do yourself a solid and give them a try. Will return for sure!
