I went back today, Saturday the 21st and the truck was gone. The big issue for me at first was I didn't understand the menu. It was written in paint on the windows and I couldn't see it. Then they got a nice big bright menu on the side of the truck (see attached photo). That was much easier to read, but it was still in Spanish and I didn't understand what it was I was ordering. I took pictures of the menu, went home and translated the menu. From that point on I went to the truck at least twice a week confident in what I was ordering. So sad to see it gone. I'm guessing, if they weren't getting enough business it's because not enough people could read the menu. Scott

Let's start with the small menudo. If you don't like spicy menudo then this might be up your alley…read more As for me I was looking for spicy in every bite and never got it. Something that was very different about this menudo was that is was entirely meat and broth/juice there was 0 sign of hominey which is something I've never seen before. I love for my menudo to have lots of meat and some hominey but the fact that there was absolutely no hominey made me unsatisfied. I give the menudo overall a 3.5/10 I probably won't get that again here. The flautas were a 10/10 they were perfectly crispy all around, the meat was seasoned and the flautas definitely had a great portion of meat. The chicken flautas came smothere in cream and queso fresco as well as lettuce and tomato which all tasted fresh and went really well with those. The red and green salsa were really good and flavorful. The red one was much spicier than the green both complimented the flautas. Fruit cup was good and made fresh to order. The carne asada burrito with potato's and cheese was HUGE, very flavorful, a hint of spice and had lots of meat! 9.5/10 highly recommended only thing that could've brought it to a ten would be if the potatoes had some sort of crispiness to them, they were super soft and I prefer a crust-like outer layer on my potatoes. Beans were good, love that they put cheese in them just like my family does. The rice was good, I did add a little salt to it but overall good. The staff was sweet and patient, I came in with my two toddlers and they interacted with the staff and enjoyed their food

Okay this used to be a more charming take on your local taq joint. But post-pandemic turndowns and…read moreever present Door Dashers have sadly taken a toll. While food is at least authentic and not Texican? It is alas also authentically weak. Even the tacos were mushy microwave reheats. Salsa was terrible. Chips out of low cost bag. Rice and beans were surprisingly good, but at $15+ per entree? Them's some expensive rice & beans, partner. Best to mosey to El Jardins or any other local joint if you're going to spend so much. The staff were very nice. But the DoorDash vibe added the usual chaotic divide between diners & dashers. Restroom reeked into part of dining room but moving across the ample sized seating area took care of that.

Great food, great service, and a pleasant ambiance--I'll definitely be coming back!

Food took over 10 Minutes but arrived mostly cold. The flour tortillas were cold and stale. Some of the meats were cold inside. Very disappointing for the price.

Honestly the charge for every small thing and I get that, that's the business side of things but it does feel very nickel and diming you. My husband had the crispy taco plate and he said the meat was too salty. There were 4 of us, got 4 entrees, 1 topo chico, 3 tap waters, a side of pico and after tip we paid $70.

Parking is pretty easy: a good amount of parking on in a small lot and on the street, but there's always available spots due to the low amount of traffic in the area. The place is small with only 6-ish tables, but again, not a lot of traffic, so there's usually a few tables available if you're dining in. The staff is super nice and friendly. They have a nice variety of tacos, with a bunch of classic and modern versions. My go to order is the Al Pastor, Barbacoa, and the chips and salsa. The Al Pastor is one of the best versions I've had, with pineapple chunks enhancing the flavor from the crispy pork. The barbacoa is tender and fatty, an big punch of flavor. The red salsa that is super spicy as well. A bit too spicy for me, but has wonderful flavor. This place is looking to be our newest default taco place.

It was time to try a new Mexican restaurant in our area…read more As an American Mexican, i have way different expectations of Mexican food/ restaurants. This unfortunately did not meet or exceed any... i came in with none. We ordered Quesabirria tacos. My wife got the order with the beans and rice... rosarita beans and mediocre rice. Minutes after eating the tacos i had a horrible lingering feeling in my mouth of grease.. i lined my mouth with lard it felt like. The consome/ soup type that you dip the taco into had garbanzo beans ... what in the culinarily missapropriated food item was that In MEXICAN food!!!???? The overbearing music that cuts out every 16 notes is obnoxious and loud. They have a few TVs for games, but doesnt seem like there was any thought as to placement. Need to do better I did take a peek at some plates around us... the chile verde looked good. So you know me, i will not slam a restaurant without the benefit of the doubt, so i will come back and have that, i hope its not just my topo chico what tastes good again

I visited Taco More today after a long and stressful day at work, and I was honestly just ready to…read moreeat. I noticed they had some new menu items and was excited to try the milanesa de res plate (as clearly written on their board). The waitress, a very nice young lady, took my order with no problem. But shortly after, she came back saying the cook told her that the milanesa could only be made with chicken. I showed her the board, which listed both beef (res) and chicken (pollo). This led to several servers having to check and communicate with the kitchen, which felt unnecessary and just made the wait longer -- I was simply hungry and didn't want the extra back-and-forth. Eventually, our server explained that milanesa de res is only available in tortas, but then added they were actually out of beef anyway. I accepted that and asked for a side of rice instead. About 10 minutes later, she returned saying the cook had decided they would go ahead and make the milanesa de res after all. At this point, I was frustrated -- why say they didn't have it, then later say they could make it? It really felt like the kitchen was making up rules as they went, which is not fair to the customers or to the servers. The only positive part of this visit was our waitress. She was kind, patient, and clearly just trying to do her job, but the disorganization and inconsistency from the kitchen left a very bad impression.
