    Carne Asada and Steak Tacos
    Bekah C.

    If you are looking for some of the best tacos in Vancouver, skip the restaurant hunt and head straight for El Viejon Taco Truck parked outside Fortside Brewing. This combination is a match made in culinary heaven--great craft beer paired with incredible, scratch-made Mexican food. The quality here is top-tier. It tasted like they use handmade tortillas. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy. Everything was so fresh! The service is fast, friendly, and efficient, which means you spend less time waiting and more time enjoying your food and your pint. El Viejon delivers authentic, bold flavors that you won't find just anywhere. Go grab a brew and your crew and head over to El Viejon at Fortside!

    Quesabirria

    You can't hold me back from this place! It was raining and I still came out! I have a hard time eating Quesabirria tacos anywhere else. No one comes close. The habenero sauce also takes them over the top. Service is always quick and top notch, and I usually sit outside and enjoy the vibe out there or if I want a beer or a different feel I'll go into Vice beer. But I usually like being outside. Go eat these tacos!

    Grilled Mahi Mahi & Cajun Shrimp tacos - perfection!
    Rose D.

    Consistently 5 stars! Truly the BEST tacos we've ever had! Their grilled Mahi Mahi taco is our favorite, but absolutely everything on the menu is delicious, and they do a nice job with the presentation as well. Their team is very friendly and our order is usually ready within 5 - 15 minutes, depending on how busy they are. It's a food truck, so there isn't any interior to comment on, but they are located at some excellent breweries. Currently 3 locations: this one is at Vice Beer in Vancouver WA, and they also have a spot at Fortside Brewing in Vancouver, and on the Portland side at Brujos Brewing.

    El Viejon is a hidden gem and one of the best places to enjoy some authentic Mexican inspired cuisine. From the delicious seafood, tender birria and grilled meat tacos to some great vegetarian options it is a menu that is sure to please. I have had most all of the items including the excellent chips and guacamole and I have had all of the taco options and each is terrific. Give this wonderful business a try and I think you will agree, it's some terrific food here.

    We came on a holiday Monday and we were so glad they were open. The weather was just nice enough to sit under the tent outside. The food was ready in just a few minutes. I tried a fish taco, a shrimp taco, and a calamari taco. Each was busting with great flavor. These tacos are so flipping good! It was tough to eat all three because they were heaping full! I was so stuffed! Great food, great service!

    Birria quesadilla / they customized the fried cheese burrito for me ( I appreciated)

    Arrived on New Year's Eve craving tacos and I was SO grateful they were open 11am - 11pm! Crowd was bustling with Vice Beer next door. They share seating and had a covered area for shelter from the cold wind. Ordered pork and steak tacos, cheese quesadilla for the kids and their chicken flautas. Everything was super delicious, arguably some of the best in the area. Looking to spice things up? Order the habanero hot sauce!

    3 dollars consommé'
    Ann T.

    I've been coming here since this taco truck first opened, and one of my favorite items on the menu has always been the consommé. Unfortunately, this recent visit left me really disappointed and surprised--in a bad way. I ordered two small consommés, but when I got them, I was shocked by how tiny the portions were. I even asked the server if I had actually been charged, because the size was unbelievably small. She told me, "This is our large cup--we just filled it halfway because we ran out of small cups." What? I clearly remember the small consommé being much larger in the past. Paying $3.00 for something so small felt like a rip-off. This is the first time I've ever left a bad review, but I'm genuinely disappointed. Sadly, you won't see me here again.

    Great tacos! Don't let the location and views of auto repair shop in stop you from coming. Tacos are are some of the best! Homemade tortillas! Great customer service and the beer from the brewery is also decent.

    Carne asada & quesabirria tacos
    Camille H.

    Delicious tacos, the quesabirria tacos are my favorite! Quick service and conveniently located outside of Vice Beer. Having the options to get tacos with beer is a plus! Definitely recommend even if it's just to get the food.

    Tacos El Gobernador
    Mata S.

    This place is soo good, kinda pricey (4$-6$ per taco) but worth it for the quality! Definitely recommend the El Gobernador tacos and Vice brewing is next door if you want beer!

    I have been frequenting this place for nearly 3 years and have tried food from almost every food…read morecart they have (and some that has since left). I have tried many carts multiple times and some only once. Below is my ranking of the carts based on their best item I have tried: 1. Lucky start, shrimp fried rice 2.Good burger shack, cheese burger 3. Phat philly, cheese steak 4. Hawaiian, salmon plate 4. Esan Thai, beef pad Thai 6. Korean fusion, bulgogi 6. Papaya corner, grilled chicken 8. Yaba yabaa, lamb gyro 9. Fuego grill, birria taco 10. Kickin' wings, mango haberno wings 11. Japanese express, unajyu 11. Pho station, beef pho 13.

    What a shocker when we came for lunch today with the intention of whatever we had left over we…read morewould take for dinner later. I ordered my favorite Beef Chow Fun and was told about the new policy. If you plan on eating there, you have to eat on certain plates that are considered "dine in" and if you order to go and they "catch" you eating it there, then the food cart will be penalized. What the heck?! We can NEVER eat a full portion and 2 of us eat from different carts. To punish your carts is disgraceful! What is your goal here ? We will NOT be back, so my apologies to our favorite carts . You can look to your "landlords" to the decrease in your revenue. . Disgusted!

    I tried this place for the first time, after hit and miss, with them be closed for several reasons…read more However, I called today to make sure they were opened and they answered. So, sure enough I made a trip out there...It's a good 25 minute drive from where I live. I ordered the Huli Huli Chicken and it was some of the best chicken I ever had! Even with a plastic fork and knife, it was super tender and moist. Grilled perfectly and tasted so darn delicious! They gave me a side of Teriyaki, which I barely used on my rice, since the Chicken was flavorful enough! The Mac Salad was very good as well! If it seems a little on the speedy side, it cost me almost $17 with tax, they justify by giving a big portion of Chicken and rice. It's enough to split among two people. Next time I make a trip out there, I would like to try their Garlic Chicken or their Poke dish. I wanted to try their dessert, but I didn't see a Chocolate dessert listed on the menu. Maybe next time! ;-)

    I heard so many good things about this restaurant so when I happened to be on this side of town, I…read morehad to try it. The hype did not disappoint. The woman who took my order, pretty sure she's one of the owners, was very friendly and kind. We chatted for a bit as I was waiting for my order which was very nice. I ordered the pork katsu which comes with Mac salad and rice. Food came out very quickly and when I was handed the box I was so surprised at how heavy it was. You get A LOT of food for your buck which is awesome. Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh! This is located on the side of a mini mart, initially when I pulled up I thought it wasn't there but then finally saw it and had to turn around. Nice food truck with lots of yummy options. Excited to come back and try it again. However they did say they were closing for the rest of the year for winter break. Also, take note this is cash only! Luckily I had some cash but they have an ATM in the mini mart it's next to if you don't have any.
