not gon' lie , the tacos are good af ! i went just before they closed on Thursday to try it out , they only had chicken and al pastor tacos left so i said cool and got 3 pastor , 2 chicken . after i tried it , i knew i had to go back and get the others . the chicken wasn't dry , it was juicy and flavorful ... and the al pastor wasn't too spicy but just the right kick . i went back the next day for lunch / dinner , ordered more chicken & al pastor , but also added shrimp and fajitas . again , the sh*t was ! i couldn't believe how good the shrimp was , I should've just order all shrimp - the sauce with the coleslaw , such a great combo . food was so good , i even told my friends i have to introduce them to this taco truck , so i mostly certainly will be back ! read more

Ordered the papusas and chicken quesadilla. Papasu was flavorful and filled with cheese and chicharron. The quesadilla was fresh and hit all the marks. Owner was friendly, prepares all food on the spot and pretty quickly. Only waited about 10 minutes. read more

Good food coming out of this truck. No frills for sure tho! Staff doesn't conversate much but I also don't speak Spanish :) all in all I keep coming back read more

The people operating the food truck were kind and it took roughly a bit over 5 mins to get my food after ordering. This is a to-go place, there are no tables or seats to sit and enjoy your meal. I didn't have any issues parking on a Saturday morning. I tried their breakfast tacos and they were good but I don't think the flour tortilla was homemade. Not a deal breaker for me but it was missing that extra touch. However, the tacos were at a great price point, I spent ~$15 for six of them. I would consider them again if I'm hungry near EaDo. read more

I have seen this truck many times but never had the opportunity to stop, but decided to make time today. No regrets, wonderful tacos; greasy but in a good "I needed this" kind of way haha read more

For starters apparently you're not allowed to only order 2 tacos because they "have a lot of orders". So our group had to order all together which is fine, we ordered 3 egg and potato and 1 egg and sausage. The order was wrong and they gave us 2 sausage and 2 egg and potato. Also, the sausage is not sausage, it's hot dog. It should be changed to egg and weeny. Lastly, the tacos are small for $3. read more

Love this food truck.. he makes all the food fresh and it tastes absolutely delicious.

Quality tacos here that are worth the wait! I love their chicken and shrimp tacos on corn tortillas and flour tortillas; I have yet to try their tostadas or other fun items on their menu. Lunch time is often a bit of an outdoor wait but I enjoyed time away from my screen and car the last time I was here. They serve the tacos fresh, warm, and never soggy or undercooked. And, their prices are super affordable too!! I have never gotten a photo, because I devour them pretty quickly. What a lovely lovely gem in this part of town! I'll try to remember a photo next time. read more

Y'all....they put hot dogs in my burrito and taco and called it a sausage burrito and taco. I'm livid!! I can't believe I paid $35 for hotdogs oh cheese and eggs too Nope...never again! 1st and last time! Head on over to Brother's Taco House for your food. This place isn't it. read more

This place was incredible! I found them on DoorDash and decided to take the risk. First of all, the birria tacos were HEAVENLY. Their hot sauce (both green and red) were delicious with a nice spice to it. They gave a generous amount of onion and cilantro, and the consume was on point. The sandia is my new obsession too! Will absolutely be back. read more

These ladies know what they are doing. I got 2 tacos no onion and cilantro y got lettuce and tomato instead. They were great!!! The hand made tortillas were hearty and went well with the taco. They did not rear off like most tortillas do. The fajita was really good but the chicharron was AMAZING!! Great level of spicy!!! They went great with both the red and green sauce. read more

Was in town for a few days. Did some serious research about the most authentic tacos in town. Went to several places and they all paled compared to El Taco Rico taco truck. The tacos are perfect. They actually have flavor and it's not dried out meat. It's got that authentic taco taste that everyone who has had an actual real quality taco knows what I mean when I say that. I needed a tums after but that's because I had seven tacos and got all the toppings. Can't miss. read more

The corn tortillas are incredible! Best corn tortillas I've ever tried. They were thick and fluffy - which is different - so they only have one tortilla per taco. As for the chorizo taco, it barely had any meat and was pretty much all potatoes and eggs. El pastor tacos were decent, and the sauces were great! They took a while to make, but they were fresh and hot! read more
