Spent $22 on 6 tacos w/ handmade tortillas. Although the price was a bit discouraging, the tacos were sizable (1.5x the usual size) and really tasty. The tripa was especially good and it was extra fried. Al pastor was flavorful. I would come back if it was a bit cheaper. read more

Everything we have ordered is delicious! Good quality of meat. It's very flavorful and the portions are good. I personally love the handmade tortillas. Their red and green salsas are very good and spicy The wait time can be a little long, I recommend calling in the order before heading over...otherwise it's a solid 20 minute plus wait but def worth it! read more

My boyfriend & I were craving tacos so we decided to give this place a try. I got 4 tacos 2 de asada & 2 de Al pastor,and my boyfriend got a carne asada burrito. When the worker told us our total was $30 we were stunned. You can say that we had high expectations. The tacos were pretty big, but the meat quality wasn't the best and salsas have no flavor. Our search for our favorite taco spot continues read more

More like a 3.5 stars. Tacos here were very expensive but they were good and I really like that they offer proteins like cabeza, lengua, and tripas instead of just the usual asada, pastor, and pollo. We had a large order for 6 people so we called ahead and they had it ready in 20 minutes. They do take credit card but charge you a fee. I didn't find out until after when I looked at the charge and saw that it was a couple dollars more than the price they told me. Wish they had let me know beforehand. read more

Great carnitas tacos. The green salsa is tasty!! Add the purple onions on top of your tacos - you won't be disappointed!!

Hard to find a good taco truck nowadays. Absolutely Delicious when spot on ! thank you

Great place!! The chicken and beef torts is the best! Also the tacos alone are great! read more

Located on Grand Avenue, not far from a 7/11 and the freeway. Spacious parking, non-busy area. Condiments are self serve (salsas, lemons, salt, radishes) Truck lit brightly and has a lot of open space around it. Staff is friendly, time can use improvement (10 tacos in 9 minutes) and pricey (almost $20 for 10 tacos) Phone orders accepted, cards accepted (no fee if higher than $10) Meat and limes were really juicy and good. They ran out of horchata so no drink bought. Green salsa tasted really good, red salsa had a kick to it which was great. Come here if ya want some good quality tacos! read more

Expensive small tacos, plus it takes forever to get your order. If the spot is packed your waiting for over 45 minutes to get your tacos.

terrible service, no place to sit and the staff is rude. go at your own risk. I would recommend to people I don't like read more

Cheap tacos after climbing?! Count me in! It's a little food truck near a Chevron that you might miss if you drive fast... so slow down once you see the Chevron and make a right onto that street! Their carne asada tacos were bomb and I can't wait to try their lengua ones next. El Taquero's salsas were great too; the salsa verde had a nice smoky profile to it... Mmm. It's a great place to grab late dinner or a late night snack! read more

Pretty bummed out with my tacos. I had 3 chicken tacos and they were basically tasteless. The meat was kind of chewy and gritty too. Very disappointed and won't be back. Also the salsa verde did not have flavor either and definitely didn't seem homemade.. It might have even come from a jar. I don't know why they claim to have homemade tortillas either cuz those also didn't have any flavor or nice texture to them, just super basic like guerrero or anything else. I like Tacos Manuel which is a truck not too far from thus place, their tacos are ama Pretty bummed out with my tacos. I had 3 chicken tacos and they were basically tasteless.

Food was really good. The service was quick. The location is great close to home. The ambiance was good.

Way too slow for a mobile truck service, this truck was present at opening day for Little League and here I am in line while my grandson's game has already started I've been waiting 25 minutes now this is unacceptable for a mobile truck obviously they were not prepared and I wouldn't order from them in the future unless I have all day long and a chair to wait in. read more

This place reminds me of tacos from Mexico! SOLID 10/10 the tacos are delicious but the queso taco w asada is why I keep coming back. I would also highly recommend their pastor Mulitas or chicken quesadillas. You won't regret them! read more

Taco trucks hold a special place in my heart and this one is well worthy of its spot. Situated just outside of Grosmont Square off of Glassell, this taco truck has become a treat for late night cravings. At first glance El Taquero appears to be fairly typical though a closer inspection reveals there's more than meets the eye. Not just tacos, quesadillas, and burritos, but also tortas too! And then there are molitas . . .like a quesadilla with your choice of meat but made with hand made corn tortillas. This alone is woke reason to patronize El Taquero and is a revelation among street meat. Each of the meats offered are tasty in a taco, molita, or quesadilla, I recommend the choriqueso, (chorizo with cheese of course, you can't go wrong), Pastor, and Campechano. Drinks on offer are standard soft drinks. Don't forget to load up on salsa and fixin's on offer. I love their tomatillo salsa. It is simply the best. What're you waitin' for? It's taco time! read more

First time here, the lady who took our order greeted us with a smile. She speaks little to none English but she could understand what we wanted. The tacos were good, but I love the dipping sauce! I can handle a lot of spiciness but the red sauce made me feel the heat for a bit. Will come again! read more

Decided to come here today since few ppl told me this spot is the best and what not but it ended up being the worst taco spot I ever been too. Horrible tacos, tripa was over cooked and burnt and the tacos de suadero has a lot of fat and shredded, and i ask for 3 tacos plain and they ended up adding cilantro and onions. The wait is a bit long for couple tacos and nobody in line. The sauce is okay not the best. Tacos del chino is way better than here. read more

We ordered asada and suadero tacos and couldn't even tell what was what. They looked and tasted like asada. Tacos were okay 5/10 for us, due to lack of flavor and mistaking our order. Horchata was good though! read more

This place needs to pay better attention to orders, they get it wrong every time. And they burn the hell out of themeats, not appetizing at all. Update: Specifically asked them not to burn the chorizo but it seems like they don't understand. Honestly taste like shit never coming back again read more

El Taquero - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Ana, California

So I've been coming here for the longest and today the lady with the red hair was just being a complete rude person she shouldn't be working behind the counter and being the face of your food truck. She was just plain rude I spoke to her in Spanish and she clearly didn't understood me and than I spoke to her English and she was mocking me. It makes me not want to come back Ive been supporting you guys since the pandemic and I think you guys need a new cashier or just have her be a little bit more people's person instead of being the way she was being. Than my food was just meh like if they just did then whatever. Won't be coming back for sure. read more

The tacos, mulitas and burritos were great! This is a great spot to stop and grab some food to go. They have a small table to eat at outside but I'd prefer to eat in the car if you can't wait to get home. The food was fresh and made to order. The carne Asada was juicy and had a great flavor. What a hidden gem. read more

El Taquero - Carne asada burrito! (I requested it without beans and rice) - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I went here because my regular Taco Food Truck was closed. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with the tacos, bland taste, very small portions and watered down salsa... Also the up charge for hand made tortillas was $.75 each, the cashier doesn't tell you this. For a $2.75 taco needless to say is lacking. Find yourself another Taco place. read more

Man this place sucks no flavor.The only flavor I tasted was the burned Langua and the soggy ass cheese i just finished eating like 10min ago and I already feel The bubbly guts in my stomach And mi horchata was more like room temperature milk with alil bit sugar mixed into it read more

After paying for our order we waited 35 minutes and watched as others received their food. They finally asked us what number we were and we watched as they tried to find our ticket number. Our food order was never placed. We decided to just go ahead and cancel our order. After waiting outside for so long it honestly made this place not worth it. There are better tacos elsewhere, won't be coming back. read more

I've lived across from this taco truck for months and recently tried it...hands down the best taco truck in OC! The toppings and meat quality are great and the pricing is really good! read more

I've been here 4 times in a row for dinner the steak tacos with cheese are very delicious. Cooked well done and the red sauce is spicy, I always call in and in 10 minutes or so when i arrive the food is ready. Wish they had guacamole or avocados. read more

I wish they had a brick and mortar restaurant. I've been a few times to the food truck and love bringing lawn chairs to sit next to the truck and wolf down tacos in the evening. Tacos are cheeaaapppp and tasty for the price. read more

Absolutely the best tacos in town. I come all the way from Riverside County to get my taco fix and they never disappoint. The traffic coming down is bad but the tacos are worth the drive. The burritos, choriquesos, lengua, cabeza, and the Asada is absolutely the best. This is a must stop no matter what and you can get unlimited condiments read more

The pastor is good, asada is okay. They are kind of stingy with the sauce which makes me sad because I live 5 minutes walking distance. Bleh. I got only 2 green sauce for 9 tacos and when I asked for a couple more, they gave me one. -___- read more
