    Menu of El Grullense food truck is simple with inexpensive choices
    Michael S.

    Covid-19 has made think about what's important in life. And tacos. Mmmm ... tacos. Yes, it is To--Tal--Ly ... "important" ... to find terrific tiny tacos for a $1.50 from the El Grullense taco truck by the Shell gas station at 78th & St. Johns ... cause they aren't JUST tacos. They're tasty 'thentic tacos! Of course, it's 5 stars. Plus El Grullense has lengua ... and I love lengua (beef tongue) prepared to tender perfection. Mmmm ... lengua tacos. The menu is simple: $1.50 Tacos $6.00 Regular Burrito $7.00 Super Burrito $9.00 Meat-only Burrito $6.00 Tortas $6.00 Quesadillas $4.00 Tostadas $3.00 Sopes Choose your carne (meat): * Al Pastor (grilled pork) * Asada (grilled beef) * Cabeza (beef head) * Carnitas (braised pork) * Lengua (beef tongue) * Pollo (chicken) * Tripas (chitterlings) Coronavirus may have impacted our boldness and flexibility, but it will never succeed in compromising my affection for cheap tacos from 5-star food trucks at gas stations like El Grullense.

    I had to steal a little chicken from my son's burrito just to see. It was really nice, juicy and tender. I got tacos, a lengua, cabeza and al pastor. I don't normally like lengua but it's one of those things like menudo that I promised my mama I would keep trying. I'm glad I did because it wasn't just good, it was the best. Like, I want more. I'm finally a convert. Sometimes cabeza is a little gamey for me, but theirs is lovely, its tender and melty soft and meaty and delicious. The sauce on both of those tacos was pretty mild. I was able to take bites of pickled jalapeno and carrot in between and not wish a passing fire truck could hose me down. The al pastor is great, tender and flavorful and nicely crisped up. But omg the salsa legit had me crying even without pickled jalapeno or carrot. Next time I'll ask them to leave the salsa off and get a side so I can go a little easier with it. It was still so delicious I ate every bite of them because its really amazing al pastor. Their onion is kind of chunky, I didn't detect any cilantro, and there were no radishes, just for future reference (other reviews mention them) but I don't really care. They are nice touches but if you can't nail the tortillas and meat, the rest doesn't matter. Speaking of tortillas, theirs are very good. I don't think they make them on site, but I'd bet they get them someplace local and they are tender, hold together just well enough and taste fresh. Little carts in Mexico rarely make their own either, they buy good ones from a good local supplier. So don't let the sour grapes from some other Yelper from California fool you, their tortillas are perfect just as they are. All in all I'll be back. Maybe with a bigger stomach because now I need two of the lengua and cabeza too. So delicious.
