Wondering if you should try Burrito Hub in Spartanburg? Find out all about the owners, the menu and the little things that make this locally owned Spartanburg restaurant special.

Hugo Montanez is bringing the joy of eating authentic tacos to Spartanburg with the food at Burrito Hub. For most people it only takes a single visit to get completely hooked on the delicious street tacos and other menu items.

Burrito Hub sits quietly on a corner, adjacent to the courthouse in Downtown Spartanburg. Just a few blocks from Main Street. It was on my “Taco-to-try” list for a long time, and for that I’m regretful. How can you argue with a $1 taco Tuesday deal? I usually order enough to enjoy them for lunch the next day, I wouldn’t be able to make them myself for that price!
