So I don't want to say much about a food establishment that I haven't eaten at - but when you ask for a menu and you are told they only have a digital rotating sign with items in Spanish with no pricing - I decided to move on and eat elsewhere. I think the business implies they don't want your business if they don't post a menu with prices. I would have loved to try it given the reviews about the authenticity. read more

Great tacos, great price, easy access! Don't judge a book (food truck) by its cover (location). Yes, it's parked at a pretty beat up gas station - but you'll forget that soon. This is greasy and savory in all the right ways. I SHALL BE BACK. read more

El Nene Latin Food - 4 for $10! - Food Trucks Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

A random find across the street from the gas station - a forever win for my taste buds in Annapolis. Truly an unexpected find, if you're looking for quick and authentic tacos - look no further. Especially their rice, to die for! *chefs kiss* read more

If you are looking for, somewhat, authentic tacos in the Annapolis area, this is the closest you'll get. The food I would give four stars but add the service, amid COVID-19 paranoia, and it gets three stars. I ordered three tacos and a coke. Total came out to $10.60. Not bad. The problem for me was I ordered tacos with no onions, I told her twice. When I was getting ready to eat my food it had onions. *bummer*. What sucks is I checked for how many limes they provided me with before leaving and I did not pay attention at that very moment that My tacos had onions. Of course, I asked for extra limes because they gave me one slice of a lime for all three of my tacos. She gave me an additional two slices. When I first arrived, it was empty, I was the only one ordering, no one came to the window. It was until the lady cleaning the table that's behind the truck (she was really nice), got the lady inside the truck to help me. I am short so I didn't realize the menu was on the truck counter. She then points and says "menu is right there." She didn't have a mask on, strike one. Lady who charged me didn't have gloves or a mask on, strike two. I was asked if I wanted my receipt sent to my phone, so I was like yes! That's genius, until she handed me her phone to type my number. That was strike three and a shame on ME for typing my number on the phone device when I had no gloves and she didn't either. ‍ I put hand sanitizer on as soon as I got in my car and washed my hands when I got to my office. This is the third time I eat out, which really consists of me picking up food and eating it at home or in this instance, my car, away from people, since March because of COVID-19 and how paranoid I am. Just a reminder to those restaurants, that we want to support you, we want to buy your food but when you don't display a safe environment, it breaks my heart. I hope to try this place again in the future because I believe in second chances. I'll just check my food before I leave the taco truck vicinity. read more

El Nene Latin Food - 6 dollars fridge to microwave fries, nasty. If your preference is microwave food this is the spot. - Food Trucks Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Now this is authentic Mexican food!!! might look a bit ghetto...but that means the food will be good. This is not your typical tex-mex bs

El Nene Latin Food is a food truck that's usually parked in the Exxon gas station. It serves up a variety of Latin eats, such as carne asada with shrimp, tostadas, tortas, taquitos, tacos, and even elotes. Unfortunately, they were literally out of the items we were interested in, especially the elotes. What was also a little annoying was that that also disregarded a Yelp check-in offer that was available for a BYGO free elote, as one of the staff members totally dismissed it. Not really sure what was going on there, but it would be nice if the business listing was updated by the owner. Not sure if we would drive out the way to give this place another try; it was super disappointing, as the pictures that they had uploaded on the listing looked pretty tasty, like the fries and the tacos. C'est la vie! +located in the Exxon parking lot +does not honor Yelp check-ins +menu items are not well-stocked read more

Not your typical Tex-Mex. It's more traditional Central American style. I had takeout so I can't really comment on service other than it was ready when they promised. read more

What a delicious feast we were treated to by El Nene . My sister had El Nene cater for our Easter gathering and it was delicious ! I highly recommend it! I was not the person who ordered so I am not Sure of the name of the dish but it was a mix of chicken and beef red / green peppers, onions etc . Fresh guacamole chips etc read more

The fajita plate is so good. The steak was flavorful and tender. The onions and peppers were perfectly cooked, and the sides were simple and good. The service was quick, but not rushed. It's also nice that it's a food truck with a little outdoor seating. I would definitely visit again. Next time, I'll try the tacos carnitas. read more

I recommend trying his food it's right at the gas station. The tacos are great to try if you are unsure what to eat. read more

Menu says 10$ for 4 tacos i was charged 11. They should have it somewhere on menu that usually pay more for steak. Also Most businesses I have seen have hand sanitizer conveniently located due to the pandemic there is no hand sanitizer where customers can sanitize before or after handing cashier their card read more

Dry tacos, rice tastes store bought. Beans were bland. Nice service but kind of pricy too for what you get

okay lemme start off by saying that the food is AMAZING. I have gone there a couple of times and this time I brought my family with me they absolutely LOVED the food I hope coming here again all the staff where really nice I liked how they had a station to wash your hands. The tacos and the fries and everything was good. El nene will be soon taking over Uncle Julio. read more

Food was amazing and seasoned well! I've always seen this truck but never stopped but I'm glad I did today! We were going to go to Uncle Julios but I wasn't waiting 1.5hrs!! We got the al pastor, chicken, chorizo, and carne asada tacos. Carne asada plate, pupusas, and taquitos! Yes, we ordered a lot!! Tacos were authentic, everyone loved and taquitos were very tasty. I wish I would've took pictures before we started but I saved some for later! LOL best decision we've made...better than Uncle Julio's! Unless you want "chain" Mexican food. read more

Best Latin food. In area Best food truck In area. I'm a big authentic Latin food fan. And have a love for food trucks. All are different depending on what region and country there from. El nene is like gourmet food made out of a food truck. I mean come on he grates the cheese over the tostadas. He takes great pride in his food and it shows. It's only a matter of time before one of those food shows feature him. Hands down the best. Sucks for uncle Julio's cuz el nene is gonna put them out of business. It's Five start food out of a food truck. read more

Really REALLY good! Saw the food truck driving by in Annapolis and decided to stop. We got 4 tacos each Alpastor, chorizo, and carnitas and all were delicious! Good portions of meat in each taco and very fresh! Good price too! We'll definitely be back! read more

Amazing experience at El Nene! Stopped here for the food but then grabbing gas was just the extra nice benefit of the location. The food was authentic and amazing. The owner is extremely nice and helped me choose the right stuff. I've since been back a few times now and the consistency, flavors, and authenticity hasn't changed! 10/10 for me read more

good food, just don't get the chicken. kinda dirty area though. i got the carne asada tacos and they were very good. it came with a variety of salsas, and an onion stalk which to be honest was pretty inedible. read more

The food was good until I started noticing the poor hygiene and poor level of respect for the clients. The lady that is ALWAYS there closed the window after taking my order with her blue gloves and the started preparing my order with the same blue gloves. I went to my car to wait came back 8 minutes later and saw she had removed her masked underneath her chin when she opened the window she put the mask back on and had on the same blue gloves I can tell they were the same because of the red stain it has on the glove she took my my money with the same gloves and also prepared my food. I was to embarrassed to say anything at the moment but was disgusted and disappointed when I got home and had to trash the food because my kids would not eat it (they overheard me talking to my mom in the car about what I saw). I've been a client for many years until I can prove the poor hygiene taken at this place. I always suspected because it's only one person taking order, payment and preparing the food. However, because of the dirty red stain blue gloves my suspicion was confirmed. Very poor respect for the clients. read more

El Nene Latin Food - One of the four plates I had to throw out when I got home. - Food Trucks Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Tried for the first time, ordered Steak Tacos, and guacamole and chips. The Guacamole was not on the menu and was made to order for me, very fresh and tasty. The Steak Tacos were good, but not the best I have had. Their green sauce could be spicier. All and All I would eat their again if in the area. read more
