    Taco Truck in the Hood
    Peter G.

    I'm not saying this lightly.... Best taco I've ever had in Las Vegas (: Also top 3 taco I have ever had world wide! This truck is in a very Skech part of Las Vegas... but totally worth the trip. If you aren't familiar with East Las Vegas (Sloan & Sahara). Yeah pretty much right at Frenchman mountain. Unfortunately the truck was sold out of every taco except carne asada. I really wanted the grilled chicken but my friends and I got there 1 hour before they closed (closes at midnight). The taco itself had 2 tortillas, one of them was toasted with some char on it .... and cheese was holding it together (: The guac was fresh with the pico. The asada was juicy and the cheese was gooey. It's hard to explain the party that was going on between my teeth at the moment of consumption. They were also sold out of some of the drinks like coke but there is a liquor store in the complex they park the truck so you can easily get something to drink there. At first I was wondering why they were so expensive but the tacos are bigger size than most of the other places I have ate at. They are called super tacos for a reason....

    I had been wanting to try this little taco truck since I moved to this side of town. We stopped by right after opening (5pm) and there were already people there waiting. I ordered 3 carne asada tacos and one pork taco with everything on it. My girlfriend got a carne asada burrito and a carne asada taco with everything on it. While waiting, we got the salsa together which was nicely placed on the clean counter with to go cups as well as sour cream. Very cool little set up, they came out of clean squeeze bottles. I liked that. We waited only about ten minutes for the food and ate the food as soon as we got home. (Maybe 5 minutes later) Oh my gosh. The tacos were insanely good. The tortillas really made the taco too. There were two of them and the bottom one had a crunch to it. I can't even describe it good enough for you to understand! The flavors were amazing. My favorite taco was the pork. The service was great. There was a line of four people in the truck taking orders, preparing the food and playing/bagging and giving out the food. They were all in sync with each other, it was cool to watch. Go try this place, you will not be let down!!! They do only accept cash so don't forget to stop before you get there.

    Best tacos in town!

    My husband and I cannot stop raving about this place. We're always taking our friends here, every chance we get! These tacos are gigantic and well-worth the price! After only two tacos each we are pretty full. The carnitas are my favorite but the chicken tacos are a close second! The tacos come with guacamole, beans, and salsa. What makes them addicting is the crispy inner tortilla that gives it such a satisfying crunch. This is a family-owned taco truck with the best tacos in town. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!! They take cash only and they are typically here after 5 pm Thursday-Sunday. Seriously, a Vegas MUST-try.

    This is for the food truck on Sloan and Sahara on the east side. The one open Thursday - Sunday from 5-11pm. The one that has like three employees. The one that has THE BEST TACOS EVER. I've gone through taco phases. I used to like street taco combos that came with with three tacos and some rice and beans tortilla chips from places like Pepe's. Then I graduated to tacos el tizon where they melted cheese onto the tortilla as a taco base. Then I graduated to Tacos El Gordo street tacos that had adobada and tripas. Then I graduated to Los Tacos where a $4 filled to the max with everything taco was totally worth it. This taco truck is like a mix of all of them. They serve tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. They have perfected the taco in my opinion. They take two medium sized tortillas an melt cheese between them. The bottom tortilla touching the grill makes them crip and crunch. They then fill it with the meat, onions, cilantro, beans, and salsa. Wrapped in some foil and it's the taco PERFECTED! The textures are just awesome. I suggest the carnitas- super flavorful OR the lengua or tongue tacos. Eat them there while the tortilla is crisp! Then you can add extra salsa and sour cream. I've been here a handful of times and they get busy. Ive never waited long, but I totally would. I heard the owner used to work at Los Tacos and I'm a Los Tacos of Tacos El Gordo kind of guy so I love this place. Tax is included also.

    No sour cream No cheese. like whaat!

I've gladly waited over an hour to get tacos, but the unfortunate part is when you come by yourself you have to basically choose one meat as it's impossible to get into another line. This time, however, I was with a group of five people so we were able to split up, but I was able to try a taco different than the pork (adobo.) usually when I come I usually grab tacos for me and my group so I'm stuck ordering 50 tacos at one time at one line. However, this time I was able to come with a group I think I'm absolutely in love with the tripe, I always love a good crispy, tripe taco, but I've never actually had it from here! Wow, it was absolutely incredible, it was so flavorful and crunchy!! I've also tried the quesadillas as well, but I don't personally care for the cheese they use. Even the corn tortillas are super fresh. Would highly recommend coming here. Just bring friends!

I really like the interior decor which is like a very contemporary and upscale Mexican. They have a variety of table and booth seating and a large bar. Our server, Hunter, was very friendly and attentive. He always ended every interaction with "have fun!" I tried the "el corazon" sangria which was delicious! It had a wonderful, warm flavor with a light hint of cinnamon yet it was still cold and refreshing! A cool tip - each drink comes with a little card with a symbol on it and the drink ingredients. Save this card! At each table is a game board of sorts that offers various prizes as you match the cards on the game board sort of like bingo. We really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, and we tried the traditional guacamole with vegetables as well. The guacamole was wonderfully cool and creamy and flavorful. For my entree, I tried the chicken fajitas which is served on a steaming platter with various accompaniments. This was also very delicious, and the chicken was quite flavorful and juicy. A small side note - it was served with a cous cous of sort, but I think I would've preferred a simple Spanish rice. The chicken portion size also seemed a bit smaller than when we get fajitas at Chili's. I would recommend you get double meat if you want to share. We decided to try the chocolate flan and the fried ice cream sundae for dessert. I preferred the flavor of the flan and the unique textures of the flan which had the jiggly caramel flan part on top of a more cake like chocolate part below. I honestly think the fried ice cream was not too good. It did not taste freshly fried, and the coating was very dry and brittle and hard to eat. I prefer the places that serve the fried ice cream warm with a very bubbly crust that is both crunchy outside and a bit soft inside. This was not that. Overall, though, we really enjoyed the dining experience here! We will probably return and try their weekday "Fajitas and Ritas" special! I recommend Hola!

However, it was $20, and I still felt like I needed another burrito afterward. The carne asada nachos looked were made with a mix of ground beef and carne asada instead of just carne asada. The most disappointing item was the $15 bean and cheese burrito. I included a photo in this review because it was mostly tortilla, and the cheese wasn't even melted. As for the churros, we originally ordered regular churros, but they told us they didn't have plain churros available on a Friday night, so we were pushed into getting the strawberry ones instead. Despite being strawberry flavored, they were drenched in cinnamon and sugar. They were awful.
