    Huarache de asada

    I usually order to go since it's a taco truck but they have the best huaraches in the game I love their tacos too this place is amazing they have great food and I love their spicy green salsa! The workers are so nice as well. This place is a must try!

    Carnitas nachos, no onion no cilantro or salsa (for my kids) and a asada huarache was so f-ing delicious, my mind is blown.

    This truck is soooooo good!!!! We have a taco stand near our house, and this place is a little further, but so worth it! First of all, they are so nice! Very kind and they get our order right every time ( my kids are picky). My kids don't like anything, but they love their chicken nachos! My husband likes their pastor, lengua, and carnitas tacos. I love their asada huarache and it's seriously the best I have ever had. The asada was not fatty and so good and the green salsa was fire!!!!

    Was driving around looking for a taco truck cuz I've been craving for some good tacos. Usually don't go back to the same taco truck because I like to try different ones to see who makes the best meat and hot sauce. Food: tacos are very flavorful, tortilla not dry at all kinda reminds me of king's tacos. The only bad part is the excessive amount of oil that was dripping down the burrito, but hey I can't complain cuz that's probably what makes it sooooo good (can't have the best of both worlds) sauce: Im a red sauce type of girl, but funny thing is their green sauce is way spicier than their red one, i figured it out when I ran out of the red sauce and had to use the green one it has a really good kick. Location: at first to me it was very odd to find a taco truck there. If it wasn't for Yelp, I don't think I'd stop to try it because the truck is parked in front of two vacant properties, traffic is flowing but not a lot of people stops by. You can pretty much find parking anywhere on the street.. Overall, good experience, yummy and inexpensive tacos, so If you are driving by, make sure to try cuz it's worth every penny.

    Finally decided to give this taco truck a try after passing it like a hundred times. I usually go to Tacos la Dona on Duarte when I want tacos from a truck in this area and I should have stuck with Tacos la Dona. This truck isn't bad but just not that good. Tried a little bit of everything and the only good thing I had was the al Pastor. The asada and cabeza was ok, the carnitas was dry and the vampiro was just a normal taco with cheese in it. So you can give them a try since there aren't really any taco truck options in the area. But if you can drive an extra 7 minutes then I would do Tacos la Dona off Duarte in Monrovia.

    Carne asada tacos better than their pork

    The Carne Asada tacos are not bad at all. Their beef was plentiful and the tortillas were so soft when I bit into it and it tasted like corn tortillas. The price was not listed on the truck anywhere, but I calculated my tacos tonight were 0.94 cents each! Pretty good deal for a Friday night. Unsure of the prices on Tuesday's though. Saw a good little line forming and I had to try it out to know. The only con is it took them a while to make the tacos, slow service. Also one more thing I dislike their pork, not yummy. So stick with carne asada beef!!

    So on my way to go for a bike ride one night last week I see this itty bitty taco trailer on Live Oak Blvd in a car wash. My immediate thought is that I am going to have to come here on the way back from my ride... so yeah I was bad and got a couple of tacos at 8:30 after my bike ride... Pro Tip: You cant wash your car and grub at the same time, the Taco Trailer shows up when the Car Wash it yourself spot is closed. So I roll into the lot, park in no defined space (not that there is on to start with), and stroll over to order some yummy yums (I hope). Well they had my tacos ready for to go in the blink of an eye. I only was able to upload one pic of the taco trailer while waiting. Pro Tip #2: Cash only and they do not have an ATM on site! As soon as I get home I open up that bag of hopefully delicious tastiness. So what do I find? Those PUNK ARSE SOBs tossed a whole bunch of raw onions on with a tiny bit of cilantro, I had asked for CILANTRO ONLY! Is it that hard to understand? Ohhhh well.. moving on I get the onions off and realize that these are the mini 3" tortilla shell tacos. *shrugs* that ends up being a good thing, I don't need to eat that late at night let alone a bunch of tacos. Even if tacos are heavenly delightful. Pro Tip #3: Tacos are cheap here. Only $1 ea! I got a Carne Asada and an Al Pastor. Both were very good and quite tasty. The small tortillas were packed full of meat. Both meats were well seasoned and tasted like they were properly prepared. The red sauce was a good complement to them both, but I preferred the taste of the food without the red sauce quite a bit. However the red sauce here was quite tasty and I was almost ready to drink it =P So if you are bored and need a taco trailer to help fill you up, this is a good place to go. I would have gone for a 5* except the tacos were too small...

    Carnitas Nachos with everything (except beans)
    Esther K.

    Came here with NH since she was craving nachos. El Taco Taco is a taco truck located on the corner of Live Oak and Mayflower where there is a car wash. I find the location a little odd but I guess it works for them. You can even call for takeout if you don't want to wait there (which is useful when it's cold). Their menu consists of tacos, burritos, huaraches, quesadillas, vampiros, mulitas, tortas, Mexican nachos, and happy dogs (I don't even know what some of these items are!). Cash only of course. We got their Mexican nachos with Carnitas (instead of the usual Carne Asada), with everything minus beans. You can get it either Mild or Spicy... we went with mild (for me) and got hot sauce on the side (for NH). It took a while for us to get our food, and it felt like forever since we were waiting in the cold. But the nachos were cheap considering the portion size, and more importantly they tasted really good. I personally won't be making a second trip just because I seriously am never in this area (and don't consider it worth the drive), but I think it's a decent option for those who are actually in this area and craving Mexican food.

    Al Pastor
    Sal M.

    Tried this place out and the Al Pastor is great, the Carne Asada is basic, and their pollo is a bit dry. Had 4 tacos and a quesadilla. Maybe try their cabesa tacos next time in town.

The wait was long, but it was expected, and we weren't in any rush. The service was great, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the chorizo con papas, which came with beans and handmade tortillas. Everything was amazing, and I can't wait to go back. Another reason for this post is to apologize and recognize the incredible staff. We ended up staying about an hour after closing because my friend and I hadn't seen each other in nearly two years. We got so caught up talking and reminiscing that we didn't even realize we were the only ones left in the restaurant. Not once did anyone ask us to leave or make us feel like we had overstayed our welcome. We know staying that long after closing is inconsiderate, and it was never our intention. We sincerely apologize for that. Thank you to the entire staff for your patience, kindness, and hospitality. We truly appreciate you giving us the time to catch up, and we'll definitely be back--for the amazing food and the exceptional service.

I think he was hoping the shrimps would be bigger. Unsure if he will be ordering in the future. Overall, great place for ceviche and happy hour beers. My only note is that the service was really lacking and inattentive. One of the waitresses was on their phones and standing around throughout her shift. She looked bothered when we flagged her down to ask for and collect the check. Other than the mediocre service, it was a decent experience. Overall, I would ask for take out next time I return.

The margaritas were honestly some of the worst we've had -- they tasted like straight margarita mix blended with ice, and we could barely drink them. The enchiladas were also very underwhelming, especially for the price. It was basically shredded chicken in tortillas with sauce, rice, and beans, and for $20 it just wasn't worth it. The food tasted very Americanized and lacked authentic Mexican flavor and seasoning. That being said, the customer service was amazing. The two ladies who helped us were incredibly attentive, kind, and kept checking on us. They offered extra drinks and multiple items, which we normally appreciate because when we go to Mexican restaurants we usually order multiple rounds and end with Cadillac margaritas. Unfortunately, the drinks were so bad we didn't want to order anything else, but their effort and service did not go unnoticed. One small disappointment was when I asked for hot sauce to add more flavor to my green sauce enchiladas, and I was brought the same red enchilada sauce instead, which made the meal worse. I am a food and beverage manager myself, and I can honestly say I would hire those two servers in a heartbeat because they were fabulous. The service was excellent -- it's just the food and drinks that really need improvement.
