Celebrate National Donut Day
Wondering where you can celebrate National Donut Day? Celebrated on the first Friday of June, this day was originally started by Salvation Army in Chicago as a way to honor their members who assisted in WWI by serving donuts to the troops. There are a few places in Greenville where you can grab some donut deals in celebration of National Donut Day.
We recommend checking with your nearest location to ensure that they are participating. In years past, there was local participation.
What is National Donut Day?
You can even show your kids how intelligent you are by telling them some fun facts such as:
National Doughnut Day commemorates the “donut lassies,” female Salvation Army volunteers who provided donuts to soldiers on the front lines in WWI.
Donuts were actually fried in soldiers’ helmets! (Talk about using what you have!) -The donuts were fried seven at a time. -The Salvation Army started National Donut Day during the Great Depression. This was a way to raise funds and bring awareness to The Salvation Army’s social service programs.
Rations were poor, so the donut idea was conceived as a means of bringing the soldiers cheer.

Inside: A solid list from local taco lovers- where you can find authentic tacos in Greenville, SC and across the Upstate.
Are you looking for tacos in Spartanburg, SC or tacos in Greenville, SC? We’re right there with you. We’re big taco fans around here, and we’ve tried several restaurants in Spartanburg and Greenville searching for that perfect taco. Here’s our list of authentic taco qualifications and restaurants where you can find them! Buen Provecho!
I recently saw where a national poll declared a fast-food chain as having the best tacos in the country. After some reflection, I realized that this poll result was (most likely) because of the fact that it’s a national chain with a location in every town. I also recently saw where that same chain won runner-up in the local newspaper’s Best Mexican Restaurant Category.
For this, there is no explanation. I can’t understand, or explain it.
That’s one of the many reasons I decided to seek out the best authentic taco in the Upstate. My search was also a quest to relive the tacos of my childhood. As a kid I spent quite a few weekends working at the flea market with my dad, enjoying tacos from a taco truck before it was a trendy thing.
My search in Spartanburg and Greenville is just beginning, but I have some places I’ve tried and some I’m excited to try.
Comal 846
What Makes an Authentic Taco
Before I get to the list, let me just clarify what an authentic taco means to me.
It’s got to be on a soft corn Tortilla. ALWAYS. Don’t get me wrong, I love flour tortillas and hard shell corn tacos. But for the purpose of my quest, only this type of corn tortilla will do
Next and most importantly, is the meat. Save the ground beef for the burgers, we’re looking for grilled meats. Ideally, pork or beef.
The tacos are then completed with a simple topping of cilantro, onion, and a squirt of fresh lime juice.
Occasionally the tacos will be served next to a salad of lettuce, tomato, and cheese – but surprisingly these are not meant to be piled on top of your taco.
NEW to the mainstream (American) Mexican menu – Birria tacos! These are not new to Mexican cuisine; they’ve just become trendy. Now the tacos that were invented to use up the small bits of meat left on the bones after stewing them are expensive. I find this hilarious, but I’m super excited that more of our Mexican culture is being embraced. Have you tried these insta-popular tacos yet? They come with a cup of consume broth for dipping and with or without the melted cheese.
I love their tacos, but I also love the story behind this taco joint neatly tucked away next to the Reedy River. Jorge “Papi” Barrales worked his way up from dishwasher at Soby’s to having Carl Sobocinski, the owner of the Table 301 family of restaurants, invited him to work on a concept. The result is Papi’s Tacos and some of the yummiest authentic tacos you’ll find downtown.
If you stop in for their taco Tuesday happy hour, tacos are just $2 each. Pair your tacos with a cold horchata, Jamaica drink, or a Jarritos Mexican soda, and you have an instaworthy meal, with the beautiful Reedy River as the backdrop. My son and I like to have mother & son dates, catching a show at the Peace Center. This is our favorite pre-show meal. 300 River Street, Suite 123, Greenville SC | 864.373.7274
New to the taco scene in Greenville is Chucho’s Taco Grill. They exploded onto the scene by offering the frequently sought-after quesa-birria tacos. The menu includes a great set of kid’s options too, as well as a drive-thru for contactless pickup. They have Greenville’s BEST Elote too if you like street corn. 3111 North Pleasantburg Drive, Greenville 29609 | 864.568.5133
After this article was originally published, readers encouraged readers to head over to the Barnyard Flea market. I was told that the tacos sold from the stand there were insanely good. Guess what? They were right! Plus, due to the low overhead of being located at the flea market, the tacos are inexpensive. I made the mistake of mentioning the taco stand to my dad, a native of Mexico. Let’s say they were a hit. So much so that he was there every weekend eating tacos, weeks in a row. 2000 Highway 101 South, Greer
When you walk in, be prepared to hear the sounds of a telenovela on the TV in the corner. In my opinion, it just makes the experience all the better.
We usually order an assortment of tacos from the menu. They are cooked to order and while that happens you can help yourselves to the freshly made salsa, from the salsa bar. I usually grab a salsa selection and some of the pickled onion/jalapeno mix. Those are for the people who like the heat that makes your sinuses open up, and your eyes water. The tacos were served simply, Just the meat, onions & cilantro. It’s like heaven on a corn tortilla.
Make sure to get an authentic Mexican soda when you stop in. The Senoral Sangria is one of my favorite sodas and it’s non-alcoholic! If you’re planning on eating dinner there, go early. They say they close at eight, and they will politely make yours a to-go order if you get there too close to closing time. 3058 Wade Hampton Boulevard, Taylors | 864.991.8888
Dayna Lee is a Mexican-American transplant from Texas, and she’s bringing the flavors of her childhood to life with pop-ups around the Upstate! You can find her most nights at local breweries, offering up traditional items and fun and creative dishes, like her nachos with a flaming hot Cheeto base, “Flaming Hot Nacheetos”. Follow Comal 864 on Instagram to see where they will be slingin’ tacos next.
Although the tacos at here come with melted queso in them, I think they still warrant being on the list. The tacos here are served in a boat with meat piled high, on two tortillas. So, some assembly is required, but worth the work. I’ve never had a taco here I didn’t enjoy. 903 Wade Hampton Boulevard, Greenville | 864.770.3450
Where to Find Authentic Tacos in Spartanburg, SC

Looking for a new restaurant to try? Our very own CAMP restaurant in Greenville is one your whole family will enjoy! But this isn’t the kind that will require an overnight stay. We have all the information you need to know before you visit CAMP.
CAMP | Tostada
The location that formerly housed the Greenville News offices is now one of the newest social hubs of Downtown Greenville. The AC Hotel, Insomnia cookies, and CAMP offer guests to Camperdown Plaza fine dining, cocktails, warm cookies & entertainment on the outdoor stage.
About CAMP
CAMP restaurant in Greenville is newest member of the Table 301 family, and just like its siblings, is another local favorite. Bringing on Executive Chef Diego Campos, who is bringing his experience at The Lazy Goat, Soby’s, and Passerelle Bistro, with Sous Chef Matthew Ballero at The Lazy Goat is quite the coup for the restaurant. His love for locally sourced ingredients and his Mexican heritage shine through in the dishes that are set before guests.
With his talent, and experience, Chef Campos could very easily be the screaming caricature of a chef you see on reality shows; but nothing could be further from that than this. He interacts with patrons and takes great pride in the food he’s sending out. His Executive Sous Chef, Matthew Ballero brings his unique passion, and we couldn’t be happier about that. The talent and creativity that these two chefs bring to the “Table (301)” will shine through, no matter what items you decide to order.
The menu might sound intimidating and meant for special date nights only, but CAMP is family-friendly right down to the sourcing of its ingredients. The Upstate family that owns Colonial Milling is fostering a young entrepreneur in the family. Their young son, Grant, has created his own side business selling the fresh eggs from the chickens on the farm he loving refers to as “His Girls”. It’s these eggs that CAMP uses for their Mixed Green salad.
Imagine the look on your children’s faces when you are enjoying your meal at CAMP, and you lean over and share that story with your child! I think it’s pretty impressive to have to supply a fine-dining restaurant with the main ingredient on your resume at the age of ten!
The restaurant is center stage in Camperdown Plaza and offers outdoor dining and a walk-up bar. Families are able to visit the plaza for an event and grab a drink to enjoy. I can’t wait to head back and sample more off of the menu at CAMP.
Oh, and save room for dessert! Trust me.
