    Where the taco truck is located
    Alyona Z.

    This place is packed regularly. It's a taco truck right outside of a liquor store. Many times the workers will come to your window and take your order, then they'll bring you, your order along with the sauce. Once finished, they'll come collect your plate and cash. It is only cash, so go to the atm before you come here. Everything is pipping hot and fresh to order. Friendly, fast and delicious service. I didn't get a chance to take pix of my food but best believe it was that yummy! Update 4 days later.... I went on a Wednesday night and the parking lot as always was super packed and the service wasn't as quick as they normally are, but still great food. I managed to get a photo of the tacos this time. I ordered 2 steak, 1 chicken, and1 tripa (intestines) all with an extra side of avocado. Everything was tasty and the green sauce always hits me as it's deliciously spicy but so good on these tacos. Definitely an authentic taco truck!

    Delicious authentic tacos with friendly service. Food truck where sweet lady comes out and takes your order. The meats are well-seasoned and not dry. Lengua is always my go-to meat, but their barbacoa is money too. The tortillas are tasty and have a nice crispy to it as well. And the green salsa is honestly one of the best salsas I've had. Great flavor with mild heat. The red salsa has lots of heat so eat at your own risk! Overall, this food truck is a place I'm willing to make a drive for from the other side of Lexington. Highly recommend!

    El Buen Taco, a great addition to the Lexington food scene. The area is a little sketchy, but the people are very nice and helpful.

    El Buen Taco is in front of the Imperial Liquors on Village Dr. It should definitely be a go-to taco spot for anyone. They serve tacos and tortas with tacos under $2 and tortas around $6. I got one taco each of tripa, al pastor and carne asada. Tripa - best I've had, I like tripa to be crispy but still needs to be a little chewy, this was great with the (HOT, be warned) red sauce. Carne Asada - wasn't my favorite or best carne asada I've had, but on par with most Mexican places and trucks. It was much improved with the delicious, and mild, green sauce. Al Pastor - it isn't "del trompo" which is to say not cut from the stand up rotisserie also used to grill gyro meat. But it's marinated like normal al pastor and still good all the same. This one was nice with a mix of green and red sauces. Both sauces are great and have a nice smoky flavor as well. All in all El Buen Taco is very good! It's clean, with friendly service and awesome food. I highly recommend this taco truck!

    Discovered this taco truck the other day and already went back for seconds. The food is delicious and service is amazing! You don't even have to get out of your car to order.

    This gem reminds of taco trucks in California. The real deal. The only downside is I should've bought more tacos.

    Some of the best tacos in Lexington at a very small and unassuming food trailer. Staff are also very friendly!

First off, we were greeted by friendly people who welcomed us with open arms. The atmosphere is super cool and interesting. Each room has a different vibe, but with the same underlying eclectic aesthetic. We had chips, queso, guac, and chunky salsa. When I say the salsa was the best I've had in a restaurant, that is saying something because I have ordered massive amounts of chips and salsa in my life. This place is top-notch for sure. I think the food was some of the best eclectic Mexican I've ever had. Our server was super fantastic. It was Taco Tuesday, so I enjoyed a half-price peach bourbon punch that was made in-house and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend! I cannot rave enough about this fabulous restaurant. So much fun, so delicious, so welcoming, and cool!

The guacamole was also top notch; fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The coconut margarita was absolutely fire with such a unique and refreshing flavor that the whole table loved. For my entrée, I tried the house specialty blue corn quesadilla and it was beyond amazing. It comes with two large quesadillas, and I chose to do one with chicken and the other with mushrooms and zucchini. Everything about it was fresh and flavorful, from the perfectly seasoned fillings to the blue corn tortilla , iit truly made for an authentic and satisfying Mexican meal. Overall, the food was outstanding and the service matched it every step of the way. Such a great Mexican restaurant, I highly recommend!

Hubby ordered the Beria tacos and said they were some of the best he has had. I had the chicken empanadas and they were amazing and enough to feed two people. Waitress was super friendly and gave us ideas for places to go while we were on town. Seriously considered going back for dinner but wanted to try more things while we in town. The prices were unbelievably good too. It would be fun to see it on a busy night full of life too. Definitely would recommend this place!
