    Lunch special. Relleno and enchilada both picadillo beef filled. Bean and cheese chalupa

    I am new to working on Elgin. I was driving in downtown and thought I would try this restaurant. I am so glad I did. I ordered the lunch special which includes tea. Everything was seasoned well. It was a lot of food. The relleno was crispy which I liked as opposed to the softer egg batter. They had a hotter salsa which was really good as well. I highly recommend this place. I can't wait to bring my family and friends here.

    These nachos were $12. The food here is not that great. Recently the waitstaff has gotten much better but I think they get overworked by only having 1-2 staff when it gets "busy". We've literally sat for an hour on many occasions to have someone even come check on us. It's just a local dive that locals go to because there are not many other choices. Their margaritas are good but the quality varies depending on who's working. Prices seem to fluctuate. The same margarita might be three different prices in three different days.

    We went back for lunch! I made a new discovery: everything you get here will be amazing and you can tell it's homemade!

    I love the place. It's comfort Mexican food and always consistently good. Great margaritas too. We come weekly.

If you blink driving through Elgin you will miss this wonderful restaurant. We were definitely getting hangry on our return trip, and Yelp thankfully directed us here. Since it was late at night, they were not busy. They do have daily specials, but we went our ole faithful, enchiladas. We did start with chips and salsa. These chips are solid and allow you to scoop up their slightly spicy and rich salsa. I ordered their Tex-Mex enchiladas. These are 3 large enchiladas. I ordered one of each chicken, beef, and cheese. They arrived stuffed to the gills and covered with awesome queso. The dish comes with a generous portion of beans and Mexican rice. Taqueria Guadalajara is the real deal, and we will definitely be returning on our next road trip. I left just like my enchiladas pleasantly "stuffed to the gills"! As others have mentioned, the building has seen better days, but the food and service are superb! ,

    I randomly came across this food truck as I was craving buche tacos and this was one of the few…read moreplaces that actually have that option of meat. It is a bit of a drive for me since it's in Elgin but very well worth it. They have a good variety of meats but my favorite is of course their buche. I initially came here for tacos but after having trying their buche quesadilla (sooo incredibly yummy!!!), I started getting that instead. For quesadillas you get an option of the size. I usually go with the large which they prepare with an 8" tortilla I believe. It usually fills me up. Outside of how delicious the food is, I love how they give you a side of grilled onions as part of the meal. I would put those into either the tacos or quesadilla for that extra flavor. Also, they provide 3 different sauces. This creamy green salsa sauce they have is soooo good. The food typically comes out fairly quick as well so that's also another plus.

It seemed to be two trucks combined, a lot of food options, it'll take you some time to look through the menus taped all over the trucks. There is some outdoor seating, but it was too hot during the day for us to have enjoyed our meal so we took our order to go. The young woman who took our order was very nice and kind in taking our order. I'm a big barbacoa fan so it's the first thing I looked for on the menu. I ordered a barbacoa torta with an horchata to drink. My picture might not make the torta look super appetizing, but it was GOOD. It's hard to find good barbacoa in Austin, but this one was what it should be--moist, tender with some of that "good grease." The bread was super soft and it was a good size for me. The horchata was a color we weren't used to seeing, but when we tried it we loved it! Super refreshing! We will definitely be making more stops here in the future to get our fixes. Would recommend checking it out!
