Hand-folded tacos, family recipes passed down through generations, and flavors that honor the heart of Mexico — right here on Baseline Street.
Corona Taqueria was born from a simple conviction: that the best Mexican food comes from real ingredients, patient preparation, and a genuine love for the craft. Every morning, our kitchen begins before dawn — hand-pressing tortillas, slow-cooking meats in traditional styles, and preparing salsas that carry the heat and soul of the regions they come from.
Located on Baseline Street in Cornelius, we've become a gathering place for families, neighbors, and anyone who believes that a great taco is more than a meal — it's an experience worth sharing.
Each dish on our menu is crafted with intention — honoring techniques that have been perfected over decades.
Slow-roasted pork marinated in achiote and guajillo, finished with fresh pineapple and cilantro on hand-pressed corn tortillas.
Our mole is simmered for hours with over twenty ingredients — chocolate, chiles, spices, and nuts — creating a sauce of extraordinary depth.
Every salsa is stone-ground in a molcajete — from our smoky tomatillo verde to the fiery habanero roja. Taste the difference grit makes.
Oaxacan cheese melted between freshly pressed tortillas, filled with your choice of carnitas, chorizo, or roasted vegetables.
Corn tortillas filled with shredded chicken, drowned in tangy tomatillo sauce, topped with crema, queso fresco, and onion.
Crispy on the outside, warm and soft within — stuffed with dulce de leche or chocolate and dusted with cinnamon sugar.
Whether you're joining us for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, we'd love to serve you. Stop by or give us a call — we're always happy to help.
Every visit to Corona Taqueria is an invitation to slow down, savor, and enjoy food made the way it should be.
