Been eye balling the menu and was pretty impressed with the selection that we decided to try it. So glad we did. I am in love with the Chorizo Quesadilla. Packed with Avocados, tomato, lettuce and cheese. But he puts the right amount that it is not falling apart or soggy. Grilled to perfection. I even got my Mr hooked that he got the steak quesadilla. That too is balanced, meat tender and just alittle char to get the taste buds going. Last week my Mr got the Tacos (steak, chicken, and Al Pastor) and it was a hit for him. Besides tacos and quesadillas. He also serves pupusas and tlayudas which we are going to try it next week! The pricing is very reasonable and you definitely get what you pay for. I'm just excited that this place opened up. It's as authentic as it gets and you will not be dissapointed. The owner is really down to earth and knows his cooking!

I'd even go on record as saying I recently had possibly the BEST quesadilla in the city right here. The truck is still in front of the Norwood Drive-thru, but things cooking up inside this truck have definitely changed, and for the BETTER. My lady and I decided to check out the new and improved truck last Saturday. She ordered a chorizo quesadilla and I had three tacos (one chicken, one steak, one al pastor). The tacos were good enough to rival our favorite spot, El Taco Bus, and the quesadilla was truly EPIC. One thing that sets Marco's quesadillas apart from others is that he puts the lettuce, tomato, and avocados on the inside, so the quesadilla doesn't get soggy from all of that being on the outside. And his tomatillo sauce is very tasty with a nice, spicy kick. The food is priced very nicely too. We enjoyed it so much that we went back today and both got quesadillas (she got chorizo and I had steak). Both were absolutely delicious! My lady and I are tempted to try his tlayudas and papusas on our next visit. My lady and I definitely have a fondness for good food trucks, and this one has become an instant favorite. New owner, new name, even BETTER food!

I've been craving burritos lately. As in like, I could eat a burrito for at least one meal a day…read moreand still want another. So when I had to drive through Norwood for a doctor's appointment I pulled up Yelp to find the best burrito spot en route. Happy to have come across El Taco Bus for just that need! I sent a fb message before heading out to make sure he'd be there, since this is corona season and I don't know what kind of chances he's taking. Turns out, there's not much "social distancing" being practiced with the taco truck. No one was hanging out right there, but it was basically the same as any other taco transaction - you roll up, place an order, hand over the cash (cash only business), keep it moving. I ordered a steak burrito with salsa verde and extra beans instead of rice. He chucked all the toppings on the flat top for a few minutes, rolled it up in a monster, and dropped it under the press to get a nice sear on the shell. That, to me, is an essential next step. I don't want a soggy, fall to pieces, burrito. El Taco Bus delivered a perfect burrito. Brought it home and threw it on a bed of spinach and lettuce, topped it with the salsa, and sliced it open. There's a layer of delicious melty cheese, thick pieces of juicy steak, and plenty of cilantro and onions for flavor. The salsa verde was an excellent choice as well, it brought the full blast of onion and cilantro in every bite. Well worth the stop!

It has been posted up in front of the Marathon gas station on old 74 for a bit now. If you were driving by you might miss it, but the buzz surrounding it was so much so, that I just had to try them out. The first time I stopped by was around 3pm on my way home and several other people were also in line. The very kind owner instantly greeted me and explained what they had that day. He took my order and they got to work. The people already waiting raved about the place and were super friendly. Everyone, including the staff, chatted and it made the wait go by quick. I ordered the chicken tacos, and the carnitas tacos. The owner had recommended just 2, but I had been accustomed to quite small tacos at other places so I got 4. Boy was he right, they were so packed full of meat that I could barely finish two! The other two made a great second meal at a later time! The corn tortillas were delicious and very authentic. Each succulent and very flavorful meat was topped with onions, cilantro and your choice of green, red, or hot sauce or all of the above. For my first time the owner recommended I try each separately with the hot sauce on the side. Also included was fresh lime and a grilled poblano pepper. Everything was amazing and I can confidently say this is the best authentic tacos I have ever had, anywhere. I cant say I have a favorite sauce because they each have sensational flavor, including the hot sauce. One try and I was hooked. I started following them on Facebook to catch certain days where they had special tacos, such as steak (which cost a tiny bit more due to the quality of the steak meat). The steak was just as amazing. They also serve breakfast. The second time I visited I did not know the extra cost until I received my order. Since it is cash only, I did not have enough. A kind person in line, who also shared the addiction to this spot, gifted me the $2 I was short. I hope to pay this forward in the future at another visit to my magical friendly neighborhood taco dealer! This isnt just great food, its an experience full of great people... who are also observing covid safety despite being outside btw.

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.
