Your Taco Express - Near the corner of Market St. and Park Ave. in Salem, OR

I found this place by accident when I was looking for the place that was there before it and closed. It's at the back of a little strip mall running north and south off of Market St.

This is one of those places where Mexicans go to get real Mexican food, and it's a pretty good place. It takes a little longer to get your food, but it's because they don't pre-cook and re-heat, they cook your food when you order it. I got four tacos: pollo, asada, lengua, and al pastor. I noticed that the al pastor had pineapple chunks in it, and that it was cooked in a pan instead of on a spit. The tacos were all very good. The lengua was $1.50, but the others were $1 each.

In some ways, the place is kind of budget, like the doorbell that you have to push at the drive thru. In other ways, the place is really nice, like the murals painted on the walls. All in all, the place seemed clean to me, and the staff was very friendly. It isn't a big place, and there isn't a lot of seating, so don't take a large group here.
