We moved to Durham from Texas a couple months ago and love it here. However we are looking, with increasing desperation, for breakfast tacos. Not those crazy giant burritos in store-packaged flour tortillas, but real breakfast tacos, sold at like $1.50 each and scarfed in twos and threes with a strong cup of coffee. Fresh tortillas, delicious eggs and beans and meat, maybe a nice green salsa....is it hopeless?
One of the taqueria near my house sells them so I'm sure ones in Durham must have them. I have noticed the taqueria on S Alston across from the BP station seems to be open in the morning so maybe try there.
Oh man. I miss migas. Some nice freshly made flour tortillas. . . . some scrambled eggs with a little chorizo. . . some avocado. . . . you've got my hungry now. I was just telling my wife the other day that I really miss Sunday brunch at Blue Mesa in Addison TX.
Something is amiss with their website so I can't link it, but check out the brunch that Dos Taquitos Centro does on Saturdays in downtown Raleigh. It's been awhile since I've gone but I remember it being tasty stuff.
There's probably three dozen tacquerias in Durham, do a little exploring, I'm sure at least a couple of them can satisfy your needs. There's a dozen on Roxborro alone, I'm a big fan of Super Tacqueria. Never checked if they do breakfast.
For those who whine about the "lack of authentic mexican" in this area, I suspect it is due to the lack of 4th generation restaurant owners who have learned how to create a cuisine that fits the palate of suburbanites who want "authentic mexican".
Are breakfast tacos even a thing in Mexico? I always kind of thought it was some sort of Tex Mex creation. If they eat them in Mexico I'm sure somewhere around here serves them considering we have a Mexican population large enough to support our own Mexican Consulate.

I never saw the word "authentic" used in this thread, until you mentioned it

Agreed. Tex-Mex. From Wikipedia. . .
In Tex-Mex cuisine, migas are a traditional breakfast dish consisting of scrambled eggs mixed with strips of corn tortilla; the meatless version includes diced onions, sliced chile peppers, diced fresh tomatoes, and cheese, plus various spices and condiments (e.g. salsa or pico de gallo). Migas are typically served with refried beans, and corn or flour tortillas are used to enfold all of the ingredients into tacos. In some areas, it may have been traditionally eaten during Lent.[6] The meat version adds a spicy chorizo to the standard ingredients. The tortilla strips can also be deep-fried until crunchy (not traditional).
