While La Carreta de Mi Tierra (#1) has been quietly blowing up the taco street scene in Salem, just…read moreacross the street lies Los Pinos, an older, more traditional taco truck where tastiness and authenticity go hand in hand. Some would say this is the best street taco experience in the city, which is hard to argue, especially when the tacos are this good. Their tacos are around $1.50-$2.00 each, which beat the competition in terms of pricing but I trust this price will catapult in a very short time. Their version of carnitas are stewed and fried to perfection and their lengua / al pastor is fantastic. When available, their fish tacos are worth every dime, though they are a $1 more. It's not all tacos, they also serve a decent variety of burritos, quesadillas, and tortas. They're very good about stuffing every morsel of food into the tortilla / bread, which is abundant in its own right. Do not forget to use as much of their condiments to really enhance the flavor. Thankfully, it's never too busy here and the staff is super friendly. The last time I checked they were still cash only and parking is extremely limited. They've done well to attract a lot of local clientele, many of whom visit the truck during the late hours into the evening. There is some seating with these makeshift tables, but I prefer to take my food to go. When it comes to Los Pinos and their wonderful variety of street inspired food, everyone wins. _________________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-carreta-de-mi-tierra-salem

After all the previous good reviews I had to try Los Pinos today. My bf ordered four tacos (two…read morechicken and two tacos de lengua). The guy who took our order and put everything together was really nice and patiently listened to how we wanted the tacos and burritos - no beans, etc. First bite was close your eyes good. There is some kind of salsa poured over the tacos that made their deliciousness more delicious. Lots of cilantro and onion and almost like a gravy. Then there was the burrito. Oh man it was so good! We tore it apart in greed and burrito lust and panted in shame afterwards. But not so much shame that we didn't plot to return next week.

After a long wait, my wife got deep-fried salmon drowning in teriyaki sauce on plain iceberg…read morelettuce for $19. They advertised it as grilled salmon on a green salad with a gorgeous photo to boot- which was completely different from what we received. It's not customary to slather deep-fried salmon in teriyaki sauce, and none of this preparation was mentioned in the description. Totally underwhelming for the price and uneaten. Won't be back.

Food was really very good, and the staff was so awesome! So when we were in Salem over the weekend and we had tossed JT's around a couple of times we were pulling into a local brew pub and BINGO! There was the big blue truck! Got to see and visit with the owners (and mom, Hi MOM!) which was great. They are always so nice and it was really nice to talk to them again. And we did order some snackage. Got some of the the egg rolls, but not your typical egg rolls and some Korean BBQ tacos (I think). I wasn't hungry but ate mine and my wife's share. Good, good, good!

I ordered baby back ribs and fries. I wanted to love this place. I really did. Especially since…read morethe two reviews that were posted were such raves. However, the fries tasted of old dirty cooking grease. The rub and sauce on the ribs were outstanding but the meat on them was dry and tough. For smoked ribs (and they were smoked) I had hoped for that fall-off-the-bone experience with tender juicy meat. But that didn't happen. They were just average. If it weren't for such a great rub and delicious sauce, I'd have given them 2 stars.
