Currently El Cardenal Taqueria is parked/located in front of Streetside Brewery. I'm so glad that…read moreit's Mexican street food because it pairs well with the beers. Plus I can't turn down a good taco truck. Their menu is simple. They offer tacos (even for vegetarians) burritos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, loaded nachos, sides (rice, beans and sauces), soft drinks and on the weekends, brunch until noon. My fiancée and I already been here twice and I absolutely love the street tacos. I always get two chicken and the chorizo. The tomatillo green sauce to put on my tacos is fire. For quesadilla, I love the chorizo. My fiancée likes to get one of each. Steak, chicken and chorizo. His favorite sauce is the chipotle. Smoky and have a good kick. Ingredients are super fresh and grilled to perfection with the perfect seasonings. I highly recommend this place. Writing this review is making me hungry and want to pay them a visit right now. So good.

This taco truck showed up outside of Streetside Brewing and had been a mainstay ever since. My…read morefiancee and I of course wanted to try it since we first saw it, and after a weekend bike ride, we finally did so. Was it good? Absolutely! They have tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos, quesadillas, and more. We started out with three tacos each; I got one chicken, one steak, and one chorizo while my fiancee got two chicken and one chorizo. They have three different sauces you can use too; one hot, one mild tomatillo, and one smoky chipotle. All three are fantastic, especially the chipotle. Highly recommend that one on the steak. We became fans on this taco truck instantly. So much that we split a chicken quesadilla after we finished our tacos. Very delicious! They accept cash and credit cards, but there is a small service fee for card purchases, so cash is definitely preffered. Still, the staff are very friendly, and the food is worth coming back for, and we did the very next week.

The booths were comfortable. The menu, like in most Mexican places, is way too long and big. I always order fajitas at a new place as a barometer for quality. Well, quality I got. The flaming cheese fajitas with chicken and steak was a large portion with tender pieces of both meats that had a great grill flavor. There were plenty of mushrooms, onions, zucchini, and pepper slices to accompany the meat. The rest of the table had the quesadillas, a huge burrito, and the chili relleno. Everyone loved their dishes. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you are offered. We will go back!!! Highly recommend. I usually take pics, but was distracted by conversation.

Finding a great Mexican restaurant is beyond difficult for me so I often make my own at home. I still try my best to find a place. It's a Saturday afternoon and the place is empty. That does. It always indicate if the place is good or bad. A few people came in after we ordered, a good sign. The service was very quick though most important pleasant. We ordered a veggie and a carne aada burrito. Unfortunately the burritos were cold. Could be the sour cream. The burritos had flavor though I am disappointed they were not hot. I'm happy I had medium salsa there was not as much flavor as I am use to. Yes, I have had better burritos but for the area these are much better than the most. The tables could be wiped down more. It's not pleasant walking past dirty tables looking for clean one. Will I give this place another try? Maybe
