Coming from a household with a mother from Mexico and a father from south Texas, I tend to have high expectations for Latin food trucks/restaurants. Overall their food was up to par compared to home cooked meals, the only thing that was lacking was the flavor. There was definitely flavor but I would personally like a little more spices added into the mix. I also thought that their red sauce was a little over the top on spice without the flavor, on a high note their verde salsa had great flavor and the perfect amount of spice. Their agua Fresca specifically their Jamaica (hibiscus) was absolutely amazing!! Lastly the service was great and very nice! Overall this place has been the closest to tasting like home and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a fast of home! read more

My favorite items from Elotes Don Toño are Asada street tacos (I like to add avocado for a small fee), Elotes on the cob or in a cup for convenience, the Dorinachos with corn is also another delicious choice. I call ahead my orders to get it when I arrive. It gives them some time to prepare it. They are always friendly and helpful on the phone. They are a food truck with an enclosed eating area, which is much appreciated. The atmosphere helps you relax for a bit knowing that you're protected from the elements. I do tell my friends about them all the time. I'm always looking forward to my next visit. read more

Great customer service from the people, they are always so kind. I used to come here 3 times a day my last pregnancy cause I could not get enough of their food!

Elotes Don Toño - Asada tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Always good and fresh. Long wait sometimes but well worth it! Authentic as it gets! The birria tacos are the best

Slowest FUCKING place in town. Over an hour and a half to get food. Never said it would take this long. Who knows how it tastes I could care less at this point. NEVER EVER COME BACK! Okay got our food terrible gross dry greasy disgusting small tacos all tacos looked exactly the same sauces sucked wife pissed kids pissed everyone instant schitts don't ever come to this taco truck disgusting read more

The street tacos here cost about $2.10 each, and I spent well over $20 on them during my visit, which probably says all that needs to be said about their deliciousness. I also added a quesadilla to my order, which was similarly terrific. And, unlike some food trucks, which tend to be stingy with extras, I was delighted to note Elotes Don Tono spared no expense when it came to cheese or avocado. So, if my review of the food itself is so glowing, what's up with the four star review? The answer to that question lies in wait time, which is substantial, and certainly more than one would expect from a food truck parked next to one of the city's worst Wal-Mart locations. I was just about the only customer present during my visit, and still waited over 20 minutes for my food to be prepared. Of course, once I sunk my teeth into it, I stopped caring about the wait immediately. So, perhaps it's worth it, after all. read more

Delicious authentic food. Theres even an area to sit and eat your food if you are like me and avoid food trucks only for that reason. People who own the truck are very sweet. read more

Elotes Don Toño - Steak quesadillas and carne asada tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Always quick and kind service, tastes fresh and authentic, absolutely love the Barbacoa street tacos and horchata! Always great for a change up in flavors and a great meal for a good price. read more

I will find this food truck. Wherever they go. For life. They have a smaller truck out West Chestnut in the summertime that I might visit every three days. I'm not kidding. This is legit food truck fare--completely worth checking out, wherever they are. Currently it's in front of the Neighborhood Market on Glenstone with the carport out front. I am ashamed/not ashamed that I order their Dorinachos in multiples...it's your basic idea of a walking taco in a little Doritos bag, but bumped to a ten with their ingredients. I get the carne, and they are not stingy with the toppings. That little chip bag is filled to the top with crema, cotija, jalapenos, and the most delicious chopped meat I've had in ages. You can't be in a hurry--you give your order, pay, and then they shut the window in your face. Hang out for a bit, watch the cars go by, and listen for them to call out your order. Their tacos are small, the elotes are cumbersome and messy, but the food is top notch. read more

I ordered a carnasada nacho. Very cheap chips The old squirt on cheese sauce In a few me crumble's of meat in jalapenos on top. I did not know why they gave me a spoon with my nachos until I tried to eat it it was for the full container of cheese sauce that the chips were sitting in so disgusting I threw it in the trash.I could it better at Taco Bell for 6.50. The tacos that I saw coming out looked good apparently I ordered the worst thing I could have read more

By far the best and most authentic place in Springfield to get an elote. The carnitas are soo good. The spicy sauce they serve with tacos is to die for. The Dorinachos; Doritos, Cheese, Cream, and Jalapeños w Carne or Elote are nachos from another delicious planet. read more

Best street tacos in Missouri! Their lengua is amazing! Their horchata can't be beat.

Went here because I was craving tacos but wanted authentic tacos and I gotta tell you, it's not bad at all! It's in a food truck right next door to dollar tree on S. Glenstone. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos, 2 carnitas tacos, a Mexican corn and a steak quesadilla for my daughter and they were all good! The quesadilla was phenomenal though. All that and 2 bottled water was $23. Not bad and I tipped of course. There were 2 people ahead of us when we got there so the wait was a bit long. Probably want to say 25-30 minutes and we ended up eating outside. I like their salsa verde sauce. It was just enough spice for me. But everything definitely tasted fresh. Will be back for all my taco cravings! read more

I sat back and just watched him work. He was getting it, man. It was very good! Elotes reminded me of AZ & the elote man. Definitely recommend to others. read more

This place is AWESOME! The hubs and I moved to Springfield from Los Angeles 6 months ago, and had not found good AUTHENTIC street tacos. We were used to having a taco cart on every corner and set up outside a bar at midnight to help soak up the alcohol you just consumed. This place has them! And the elote in a cup is amazing, especially on a cold day. It is comfort in a cup. Highly reccomend! Now, mind you, these are street tacos, meaning they are small, 3-biters that consist of meat, raw onion and cilantro, served with a fresh lime wedge to season and homemade salsa. They will not contain cheese, lettuce, sour cream, etc. Not sure, but you could probably, for a fee, order that extra. But, these are true street tacos: meat is seasoned beautifully and the doubled up corn tortilla is grilled to warm perfection so it supports the meat, not too soggy, yet chewy and delicious. I am so excited, and scared, that this is right around the corner from my office. I can't wait to try the quesadillas and tamales... read more

Elotes Don Toño - Pastor - Food Trucks Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Every time I'm in town I stop by this place to get Doritonachos & Tamales. Food taste is rich, fills you up, love what they offer. Thank you so much for your amazing food, I love it! read more

Wow.... So amazing. The burritos are more Torpedo-esk, the tacos are mini, the tamales are average size and the quesadilla's are and 8 inch tortilla flipped over, so the portions are a little small. But the flavor is to die for. Finally a place I can go when I crave good simple Mexican food. Then the spicy corn on the cob...incredible flavor. There verde sauce is the best I've had in Springfield. You need to try this place if you haven't. They're open late, for large orders I would call it in. I'll be back again, and again, and again. read more

Authentic Mexican food in the battlefield mall food court! No joke - this place is awesome and fast!

I had to lingua and the Pastore tacos. They're the small traditional style tacos with double tortillas that come with lime wedge and salsa they make in-house. Both were delicious. Also you must try the corn off the cob, so delicious. read more

Look, honestly it was food from a trailer in a parking lot, so expectations were low. When I finally got home we had 5 little guy tacos packed full of flavor and the Corn and Torta was great. Fresh and authentic. Now all they need is a Beach and a Cigar rolling enterprise. Hooray for tacos. read more

Al Pastor! This place is LEGIT and AUTHENTIC! I knew I was in the right place when I showed up and I was the only white person there. Kudos!

I had the steak quesadilla and it was amazing. Great flavors. The spicy sauce was way to spicy for me but that's my fault.

I don't know why I waited so long to eat here. Their barbacoa has to be my favorite meat so far. I'm in love with the corn on the cob seasoned with cream, cheese, chili powder mmmmmm so good. The mild green liquid salsa that came with the tacos was so delicious. I also got a steak taco and carnitas. In order of favorite to still tasty-tasty: barbacoa, carnitas, then steak. Can't wait to try more menu items!!! Definitely worth the outside weather, and they have a roof so if I was truly jonesing I'll still go when it's raining. SO GOOD! read more

This is by far my favorite food truck. I think it is the best Mexican food around. The carne asada chorizo tacos are wonderful (not on the menu). I amazed at the pico, it is so fresh I eat it plain. read more
