Great little food truck! Simple menu, great food. Owners/staff are super friendly. Prices are very reasonable to for the quality of the food; they have accoutrements at the front of the truck so you can fill up on salsas/onion/jalapenos to top your tacos and plates. There's a couple of parking spots right next to the truck and plenty of street parking, and a couple of tables if you want to eat there. read more

The best stop on our road trip from Taos and worth the trek out of Santa Fe for these amazing tacos. Owners won recognition from James Beard in 2024 for their incredible tacos. They have breakfast and lunch, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and dogs/sausage. Recommend going the taco route so you can try their incredible meats and fixings. My top favorite was their picadillo and pork Adobada. Do not miss their pico, cilantro/cabbage, pickled onions, and green/red salsas. Also grilled jalapeños were a nice touch but WARNING they are spicy. All drenched with a generously large cup of horchata, you'll be in heaven. They have outdoor picnic tables to dine there, limited parking next to their food truck. Pro tip: order ahead bc everything is made to order and they can get busy!! These are some of the best tacos I've ever had, top remarks and recommendations. Each item is thoughtfully made and the service couldn't be better and more friendly. read more

Really good tacos. I got al pastor and chicken adobo. Personally, I liked the adobo better. A bit of miscommunication led to my tacos ending up with no toppings, but they're real good on their own and I got the sauces at least. read more

El Chile Toreado - Al Pastor & Chicken Adobo - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

I've been meaning to check out this taco truck and finally got the chance recently. I ordered the tacos: two al pastor, one carnitas, one adobada. $13, according to me the menu, but was charged $14--I'm guessing for tax? FYI, they do charge a fee if you want to use a card but I paid with cash. Al pastor and adobada were very similar except the al pastor had pineapple. The carnitas meat was unfortunately dry. One tortilla for each taco, but they were soft and pliable. There was no char on any of the meats but all were fairly tasty. I enjoyed it but it's not in my list of top tacos. They had a great toppings bar though: grilled jalapenos (not spicy); pico de gallow that was heavy on the jalapeno and tomato; cabbage; lightly pickled onions; and great salsas with good heat. I loved the green salsa (cilantro and jalapeno-heavy!). Red salsa was also good and spicy. The salsas and toppings bar are what push this spot from a 3.5 to 4 stars. Plus it's quite filling! My friend got the chicken burrito and found it flavorful and saucy inside with plenty of rice and beans. Staff were friendly, but it did take a minute to get the food and unfortunately there isn't much shade at the tables on a sunny day. It's fine but definitely not the best I've had! read more

- Pollo adobo: my favorite of the 4, flavors perfectly balanced and was juicy - Adobada: delicious but not super memorable - Pastor: sweeter than pastors I'm used to, wouldn't get again - Barbacoa: really tasty and rich, a little gamey for me personally but others probably love that lol - Green sauce: I didn't love this, I don't feel like it matched the flavors of the tacos, for some reason tastes like celery to me? - Red sauce: this was perfection and i loved it on ALL the tacos. Spicy but not unbearably so, very flavorful! read more

Very friendly staff. Food comes out fast. Superb carnitas and barbacoa. Al pastor a notch down. Love the unlimited self serve veggies! read more

El Chile Toreado - Excellent carnitas and barbacoa - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Small stand offering insanely good food. Friendly , quick service. Highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.

This place is legit. I ordered a breakfast burrito with chorizo, and let me tell you, it was hands down the best burrito I've had in a long time. Every bite was packed with perfectly cooked eggs, flavorful chorizo, and just the right amount of spice. I've been a loyal fan of spots like Burrito Company and Burrito Spot for a quick grab, but El Chile Toreado has officially stolen the crown. This is my new go-to spot. On my next visit, I ventured into their secret menu and tried the deshebrada. O-M-G. If you don't know what that is, let me break it down: slow-cooked, tender, shredded beef with a rich and savory flavor that's perfectly balanced by their chile. It's everything you didn't know you needed in a burrito. Talk about food heaven. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Whether you're a local or just passing through Santa Fe, El Chile Toreado is the real deal. Pro tip: Go early--they can get busy, and for good reason. Don't sleep on this spot! read more

El Chile Toreado - In the parking lot, this is the front of it. "Voted one of the 100 best taquerias in America" in 2022! - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

What a fantastic food truck, we came here multiple times while we were in town! We found all of the meats enjoyable (both chickens, carne asada, carnitas), in quesadilla, burrito, and taco form. Al pastor was the messiest but was very flavorful. Really, the only downside is that they're only open for lunch. read more

Highly-rated food truck I had to check out, and it didn't disappoint! Clean and welcoming, The lovely server was all smiles! I enjoyed the breakfast tacos (4) with Luis' mix (chorizo, bacon, Polish sausage), with a red (mild) and green (spicy) sauce on the side, and fresh veggies at the stand. There are shaded tables behind the stand. This was a bit messy to eat as I loaded it up; I needed some extra napkins. A spoon would have been helpful. Vehicle parking was plentiful along the street. RECOMMEND. 1.1 miles, I walked in the morning for 25 minutes from Santa Fe Plaza (bring a hat and sunscreen), feeling safe along Cerrillos road. There is a sidewalk and various businesses along the way (interior design firms, architects), but there were also some quiet/lonely stretches. I discovered Saveur Bistro (which I also visited), and Whole Foods (I had to ask for the code to use the public toilet because I didn't make a purchase). read more

This food truck was a random find on Google while on our way to Flagstaff, AZ. Only about 5 min off the interstate, I knew we were bound to find a taco truck in Santa Fe & this place was so delicious! I got the veggie burrito / added bacon, but I could've went without the beans; they are whole beans not refried. Must be a texture thing for me. BF got the Luis Mix and loved it too! They do offer to add salsa inside the burrito or on the side... highly recommend to just add inside the burrito if you're on the road like us! Thanks for the friendly service and suggestions read more

A great food truck with outdoor tables and easy parking -- though it wasn't busy when we were there, we understand that lines can get long and that calling ahead to order is a wise move. We had tacos: carnitas and carne asada. The carne asada was fine, but not special (small pieces almost like hamburger bits). The Carnitas was absolutely delicious. The tacos came with a choice of salsas (we got both red and green, both good), as well as access to their condiments station which had a good variety of things to add. What we really liked is the atmosphere and service -- the patrons were happily talking among each other as they waited, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the tacos came out quickly - so quickly that the pager they gave us to tell us when it would be ready was really unnecessary. Next time we're in town, we'll be going back. One minor nit: there was an unexplained charge of $0.81 on a $35 order. Perhaps a credit card fee, perhaps something else. I'm not a fan of credit card fees, and certainly not a fan of charges that are not detailed on a receipt. read more

The BEST al pastor tacos I've ever eaten...hands down!! Our group of 8 stopped by for lunch and was to find something that we all could eat...and that we all loved! The people who work here are simply some of the nicest you will find anywhere! They did not get overwhelmed and was very accommodating. There were tables in which you can sit and eat right behind the food truck. Great place to sit on a beautiful day! Highly recommend this food truck...you cannot go wrong with anything you order! read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet as it's one of my favorite spots in Santa Fe and is always solid. Breakfast burritos are delicious and huge. Tacos are amazing. A true staple. The service is always great. Your food is made to order, they give you a little buzzer that goes off when it's done. There are a few outside tables to eat at. Parking spaces are limited, so you may have to park in the street or in the parking lot across the road. read more

Traveling through Santa Fe down to southeastern New Mexico, I had a strong craving for yet another breakfast burrito. Lol. I pulled over like a good Yelper & driver... the trusty app pointed me to this glorious food trailer called El Chile Toreado. Right away I noticed how neat and clean everything was... then the beautiful mural nearby. The nice lady at the register was probably shocked as hell when I ordered two burritos. Damn, I thought, when I received my order. I was shocked as hell too because these hefty bubbas are not for the faint of heart! Combined my "Luis's mix" and chorizo burritos came out to $22. "Do you want salsa on the side?" has to be the stupidest question ever... okay, it's not, but YES! Try their salsas. They are not too spicy. Just a mild kick to meet the wonderful flavors of the burritos. When ordering, they accept card or cash. You may be given a buzzer to notifiy you when it's ready. There is free street and lot parking nearby. Limited picnic table seating is also there behind the trailer. This is the real deal, folks. I'd come back in a heartbeat. If I didn't eat it right away, I'd stick it in the cooler like I did my second burrito. The only leftovers are mine! read more

A must try when in Santa Fe! The bacon breakfast tacos were incredible. So much flavor. My friend said her chorizo breakfast tacos were amazing. The vegan amongst us enjoyed the veggie burrito (sans cheese). Be sure to ask for a side of red sauce and baggie for all the pickled peppers and veggies. Friendly service, casual food truck atmosphere. Perfect for grab and go. read more

Overrated. Food is basic. When I went (Monday) service was alright, the lady there could be nicer. I heard this place was the "best" and honestly it wasn't all that. It's just a food truck. Selling what other food trucks sell. Food taste was good but not "wow!" All in all I don't think I'll go back. Not worth it. read more

This food truck is supposed to serve the best burritos in Santa Fe. We went for lunch and found them good, but nothing special. The crew, working in cramped quarters, makes each burrito to order, and customers are welcome to add items from a condiment bar. read more

I read so many great reviews of this food truck so I made a special trip there for lunch during my stay. I'm so glad I did. These tacos have unique flavors and they're made with high quality ingredients. I particularly like the buche (pork stomach) because it's not something you will usually find on the menu elsewhere. The carne arsada is another favorite of mine - the steak is so juicy and I love the unique flavor and seasoning. These tacos are much better than the other meal we had in a restaurant. If you are up for great food, this is a must-stop! It won't let you down and you might be wonderfully surprised! read more

Very good food. Had the carne asada burrito. They didn't use a traditional tortilla, but was more like frybread, and it was really good. Meat could have used a bit more flavor but still good, and the hot sauces and pico were excellent. Mom had the pollo tacos and she enjoyed them. If you like chips with your Mexican food, be sure to bring some with you as they didn't have any. All in all, a really good experience and I would visit again! read more

El Chile Toreado - The food truck - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

My wife heard about this place from the santa fe foodie group... there are a few good tips from there. We are sooooooooo happy we tried it out. There was a line, luckily we called in our order. The people taking orders and handing out the food were very friendly, even saying thanks so much for all your support, and sorry for the wait. Here is what sealed the deal for us being from the W. coast, the burritos have rice and beans inside! What!? And they have flavor, My wife got carne asada burrito, I got veg burrito, they both were amazing, such great flavor, not fatty or greasy at all. The green chili sauce was great. The veg burrito was prob the best I've ever had.... I'm not sure what veg were actually included but there was potato and crispy cheese and that's all I need to be very happy. We will be back to try every single meat option. read more

Out of this world Mexican food truck...Fresh, authentic, and muy saboroso! Service is top notch.

Great spot. Love the veggie breakfast burrito. You know the food is good when you run into world class chefs ordering at the window next to you. read more

This place is always busy, but worth the wait. Meats are flavorful and you can have all the pico, green chiles, pickled onions, cabbage and limes you want to adorn your tacos or burrito. And the salsa verde is fantastic. If you're looking for some great fast food, this is the place. But it closes by 2/2:30 so make sure you plan accordingly. It's also open for breakfast and the special breakfast burrito is awesome! read more

This place serves fantastic carrying around food, such as burritos, tacos, even a hotdog option. I had the Buche burrito, christmas style, and others in my party had the Carnitas burrito. Hotdog for the little one. All of the meat was cooked perfectly, with that nice light crunch to the exterior of the carnitas and the buche was so tender, with a rich green sauce to go with it. Rice and beans inside the burrito makes it a hearty meal. The service was friendly, and all out of a humble food truck, with everything you need. Sort of feels like a little dose of New Mexico, all the way around. Bravo. read more

El Chile Toreado - Buche Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Easily some of the best breakfast tacos that I've ever had. The food here is absolutely delicious and the portions are fantastic and its affordable. Their salsas are packed with a bunch of flavor -I'm still thinking about them days later and how I can find something similar in my hometown. The service is prompt and the people are nice. Its a taco truck so seating just depends on how many people are there. There were a few tables around the truck, which fit a reasonable amount of people but when I went there were still a lot of people sitting on the sidewalk. Very dependent on timing. Worth it! read more

WOW. The best breakfast burrito that I have EVER eaten! Soo big and so full of meat and cheese and eggs and chilies you could spread this one burrito over at least 2 meals!! And I would definitely recommend that you get the Luis Mix for the meat. They do a great job and it was ready pretty quickly as well. You will not be disappointed. read more
