    Asada no sour cream
    Nai L.

    Have a food truck event tomorrow and they didn't call me to tell me they can't make it. I followed up myself only to find out they are no longer available. Now I don't have a taco truck for my event. Their food is good but now I know they can't be trusted for events.

    Taco Truck in the Hood

    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.

    Best tacos

    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!

    If you want a SEVERELY overpriced taco, this is your place. They're good yes. But nothing special and definitely not worth the price

    Is this place still open? Didn't see them Wednesday and Thursday.

    They're only there when they want to. I always call before to make sure they're there before I make the trip.

If I had to choose a last meal on earth, it would be their carnitas a la Coca Cola. The pork comes out with deeply caramelized edges and it just disintegrates in your mouth. The cola reduction creates a sauce that's almost molasses/rich. I had to just wipe my mouth as I remembered eating this. My man also enjoyed his tacos, and I appreciate that they let you mix proteins giving us a chance to try a few different ones. The restaurant is bathed in beautiful Mexican folklore art and thoughtful details. Service is warm, tortilla chips are always fresh, and this location is rooted in long-standing family heritage and tradition. If you're craving great Mexican food, this Lindo delivers. You'll leave happy and full. And to the family who own it - I'm up for adoption and would gladly join for a family dinner if you're ever looking to expand the familia.

Ordered the chicharrón and they came out great alongside a couple of really good salsas. The red sangria was also very well made, and the tortillas were made fresh. For the main dish, I got the chilaquiles. They were served warm rather than hot, and the flavor of the red sauce was a bit off, which is the only reason this isn't a full 5/5 review. The portion sizes are generous. One entrée is plenty to share between two people! Service was great. We specifically chose this location because of the higher ratings, and it definitely delivers. I'd happily return to try a different main dish and would easily update this to a 5/5.

They have a Loteria drinking game, with each card matching a drink on the menu. Fun idea, but when explained seemed confusing. The drink was ok, too sweet for me and a little small for the price. Menu highlights for me was The dirty corn, salsa flight, and my (2) taco plate. The dirty corn was a standout with elote-style corn in a bowl, topped with chicharron, chorizo, and spicy mayo. It delivers that street corn flavor, but with a good mix of textures and spice. My tacos were delicious. I tried one grilled shrimp taco and one carnitas taco, served with rice and beans. The blue corn tortillas were a nice touch and pillowy soft! The carnitas were amazing, great flavor and super tender. I shrimp tacos were just as good and when topped with their habanero, verde, and roja salsa, that heat and flavor depth gets elevated! Overall, it's a dependable neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, creative touches, and good food that makes it worth a visit if you are in the area!

I can't remember the name of my meal, but it had steak with chimichurri, fried plantain, pico, avocado, beans, rice and an egg. My favorite part was definitely the steak!

I did try the cooked pieces and it was super limey, very limey and comes with blue tortilla chips Amado Arepas $18 (5/5) This comes with 2 pieces but we added on a 3rd one so we can get get one ($9 each). It was a small bite, but packed a punch with a yummy tender braised short ribs inside and crunch exterior Entrees: American Wagyu $185 (4/5) 16oz Black Grace Rosewood NY Stripe. It was a little more charred not the outside, but it was presented very nicely and sliced up for us. A little more chewy than your normal Wagyu or maybe because it's also a NY cut. It comes with 3 dipping sauces and thinly Fried string onions. Drinks: Living my best life, burning passion (it was really burning on fire), and palomita! They were all tasty and fun! And we also got a free fruity birthday shot! Yay! Desserts: Flaming Skull $38 (5/5) Ok if you don't have diabetes, cuz it's all SUGA, then order this. The skull is engulf with rum and lit up in flames so it melts. Then the oogey chocolate warm skull cake you can dip and eat with the horchata ice cream, marshmallow fluff, and candied puff rice. So Ded I mean it. They also gave me another small cake and candle with birthday card! They also charge an automatic 18% for any part size so just beware and ck your receipt. Overall dinner was delicious and we all left super happy and full. I would definitely come back to try more dishes next time I'm in Vegas!
