-Had to pay for a literally a small bag? -NO ice for my horchata? -Had to PAY for salsa? When it should be complimentary it's LITERALLY a taco truck‍. -Worker was also very rude when I was trying to place an order. I don't mind paying extra but ONLY when the service and food is presented well and kindly. Overall I do not recommend this taco truck for either the food or service given. To the owner of this Taco Truck. Please take these actions to mind to fix ur food service quality better read more

Wow I was hesitant about trying this place because of the mixed reviews but so glad we did. We got the birria burrito and it was so good! My daughter devoured hers and she's usually really picky about her food. We got 6 birria tacos too they were also really good. But the burrito was definitely the star of the show. It is pretty expensive though, paid a total for $40. Definitely double check your receipts, just like the other review says. They charge you for things you don't ask for. My husband never asked for an extra consome and green sauce, and it was on the receipt. That's the only reason I'm taking out a star. read more

The food is superb. The menu is excellent. The staff is always friendly. The price is fair. read more

They are specialized in birria only, others not so great. Had chili rellenos, batter think as pancakes

Holy crap! Really bad ass tacos here! That barria burrito is on point! The tortillas seem to be home made and the meat is amazing! The beans and rice are fantastic too! The eice was a tad bit oily for me but not enough to deter you. I also ordered cgicken tacos and the chicken alone had little flavor but in taco form was super good! Everything came together extremely well. Can't go wrong with this spot read more

Ordered a basic bean and cheese burrito. Lukewarm burrito had cheese that wasn' even melted. Mostly flavorless. Their habanero salsa is pretty tasty however. read more

Love this Taco truck! Super fresh and delicious. They have a Mexican restaurant too if you want to sit and have nice meal, highly recommended!! They have this green jalapeño salsa that I have never seen before anywhere else and it's too die for!! It's a Kinda creamy green sauce that is really spicy and I love it. They don't skimp you on the meat for your tacos like some places do, and they have the best horchata. Their horchata is way better than most places cus it's not all powdery. Customer service is always good and I frequent this truck and their delicious sit down restaurant. read more

Not going back. Gave it another chance when name changed and someone spoke highly of this place. Husband and I were disappointed. I had a tasteless tostata & he had a gorda. One good thing, cheap priced meals for the amount served. read more

I am an avid taco truck eater and found myself at Mexican Food El Itacate this afternoon. Eager to find a new taco spot, I am saddened to say that this will not be it. When I arrived, I was greeted by a woman who took my order- a 3 taco combo with carne asada. After paying, I received my food within 2 minutes. I thought this was a little strange, so I opened my container just to make sure everything was right. It was an absolutely gorgeous presentation, of 3 tacos laying on a bed of Mexican rice with a side of beans. The plate was steaming hot, so I knew my food was prepared correctly, just rather quickly. I took a bite and was not impressed. Their carne asada lacked in flavor, while their salsa was pretty mild. The cotija cheese on the beans was a little much for my particular taste. Overall, I ended up eating only one taco and a few bites of rice and put the rest in the fridge for my fiancé's lunch tomorrow. This place wasn't horrible, just average. Service was average, food was average, the experience was just plain average. Would I recommend eating here, not particularly. I don't find myself ever coming back. read more

The worst experience I've ever had. I usually never right reviews but this had too be said. I experienced horrible discrimination here. The two female workers are very rude and disrespectful. They charged me for SUPREME burritos I received nothing of that sort. The burrito I got was disgusting very dry and extremely small almost completely bread and rice. I highly suggest everyone too stay away from this HORRIBLE food truck. read more

I thought it was great! The place was clean and festive. Kind service. I had the house beef burrito that came with a side of soup/dip. So good. The only complaints would be that the burrito did not automatically come with sides of beans and rice and my husband said it was too heavy on the cilantro. Even without the sides it was big enough to make two meals. read more

This taco truck definitely delivers! I ordered the three taco combo which comes with three carne asada (or meat of your choice) tacos, rice, beans, and hot sauce.

Chorizo is homemade and soo flavorful! Hot sauce was spicy and so good! My only complaint is that I wish they had homemade tortillas, but with that being said the quality of the meat more than makes up for that! Will be back. read more

Always good food and fast service, my favorite food truck in Olympia. Go support your local food truck !

Very avid Mexican food connoisseur and the day I went, I was craving a burrito. Not too familiar with the Lacey, WA area and just fueling up at the Costco across the street I saw what appeared to be a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow; a taco truck just as I was desiring a burrito. Growing up in California and half my family living in Mexico, I have been used to some of the best coming from trucks or stands. Unfortunately this was not the case with this truck. The location and ease of in-and-out was favorable. The girl who took my order was nice and she did not expect me to speak and order in Spanish, but I noticed she became much more friendly once I established I am multi-lingual. I ordered the carnitas burrito with avocado, no sour cream. As soon as I was offered sour cream, my faith in it being authentic decreased significantly. I got the burrito fairly quickly with a smile. I at at the provided tables and chairs. It only took two bites to realize that it was "Americanized" and mostly fillers (rice and refried beans) with very little pork and avocado (extra charge). As most people who eat authentic Mexican food, a burrito has just meat inside and can be smothered in red or green sauce with melted cheese on top. I paid over $9 for this burrito so I was going to finish it. That was tough as the pork was bland, the salsa tasted like it was just tomatoes with no spices, and the consistency of the Mexican rice was like slime as if it has been sitting in the pot overnight. There was very little meat too. This truck is on my list of will not return to. The 2-stars was for the friendly service, speed of delivery, and having tables and chairs for eating at the truck (good touch). read more

Our new favourite taco spot in the Olympia area. We had a plate each of carnitas and cochinita tacos and shared a cup of consomé. The tortillas were delicious, perfect texture and taste, warm and a little crispy with no oily flavour. Cochinita came with pickled cebolla and a habanero salsa that I wished would have been a little spicier, and carnitas with a salsa roja, though verde would have made more sense in my eyes. The consomé was delicious, very broth-heavy with not much fat, and a really clean flavour. We'll come back and try the birria next time! read more

If you like being double charged for a no seasoned burrito, come here! It wasn't until we got back home, an hour away when realized the lady charged us double for 1 burrito, hey maybe it was a error in their system? Burrito was nothing special. Taco Bell would've done better. read more

I have had this place twice now and have never once been disappointed! The service is friendly and fast, the price of food is reasonable and the TACOS! The Tacos are loaded with all the usual and they do not cheat you on the filling. If you're ever around the area and have $10 to spare get you some amazing Tacos! read more

Forget about a trip thru the drive thru...visit this taco truck instead. The burritos are huge and delicious. Tacos are very flavorful too. Our family favorite are the mulitas! Yum! It's like a cheesy taco quesadillia with carne asada. Service and prices are great. read more

Fuck this taco truck. They're corn tortillas are ass. I tried to order carne asada fries too and the lady rang me up for a meat platter with beans and rice .‍ fuck read more

Decided to give them a try while on the way to chipotle again. I got a regular carne asada burrito and my husband got the chicken, bacon burrito. Definitely a better choice than chipotle; the burritos are packed and full of flavor. The service was great and quick. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I've tried the regular carne asada burrito and carne asada tacos, both which I plan on getting again. They have a simple menu and offer great food for good value. Service does the job and gets you food, no complaints. Only important TBD factor is their hot sauce. Burrito had fine flavor on it's own, but I gotta have my hot sauce and I failed to inquire for extra before I left. read more

I was in the area and looking for a quick bite and stumbled across this little gem. I ordered a Torta de Carne Asada and a burrito de carne asada. I was nicely surprised by how authentic the food was, how fresh the produce seemed and even enjoyed the accompanying salsas...rounding out the food was a wonderful customer service experience that made it worth coming back. I highly recomend El Itacate prices are inexpensive and the flavor is massively yummy! read more
