    a taco truck parked on the side of the road
    Mandy G.

    Amazingly good taco truck!! Got some crane asada steak tacos with onions and cilantro with verde sauce and they were on point! Fresh good ingredients simple and affordable. Better than what I normally would get an any restaurant at a better price. Great to grab on your way into the airport and better than what you'll find in there. Everything you could ever want and need out of a taco truck!

    GREAT food, legit fresh flavor. Funky hole-in-the-wall locale. Pretty much ToGo type of place. Likely the host restaurant for the mobile Taco Hut that is parked out front. Hard to find / easy to miss, unless you know what you're looking for. The new OPEN sign caught my mind, so I said "what the heck?" Limited menu, but it's all prepared freshly. English is clearly a second language, but have some fun and roll with it. Prices could be a little lower, especially given the Spartan conditions; but, I'd go back. Given the dearth of decent restaurants on Wilkinson, truly stands out. Parking doesn't seem to be a problem.

    I continue my quest to find the perfect tacos and will most likely keep trying them until I find the mother lode. I've been in Charlotte for 10 months and coming from the Washington, DC area which has just about every ethnic group and food from all over the world, it's been quite an adjustment. But I digress. We found this place while driving to Restaurant Depot and I literally gasped to the point of scaring everyone in the car when I saw it. I was excited! Tacos! After leaving the Depot we headed over to grab some food and upon arrival a woman at the door waved us in to let us know that they were open. Now this may be because, according to the yelp app, it said it was closed, the menu just says open at 10am but doesn't give a closing time for any day of the week. Not sure why, but my guess is they open and close at their convenience so make sure you call first before you go. The menu: They have tacos, empanadas, menudo, tortas, burritos, hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, quesadillas, Huaraches, Migadas, Sopes, Taquitos Dorados, Taco Salad, Tacos Gringos, Philly Cheesesteak, chicken wings, nachos, rice, beans, salad, chips and guacamole, Elotes, Preparados, Salmon, Fajitas, Carne Asada, and natural drinks like Tamarindo, Horchata, Jamaica juice, mango, watermelon, cantaloupe and pineapple. We ordered 4 tongue tacos, 2 steak tacos, a steak torta and got a sample of horchata. The tacos meats available are steak, pork, sausage, chicken, tongue, cheek, head/cabeza, pork skin and campechanos. They were out of several of the meats that I wanted to try. We were the only customers in there but soon after one other person came in and then a group that had ordered 30 minutes prior to showing up and were told that they had to wait another 20 minutes for their order of Migadas, and burritos. I must see that they were very gracious and took it well. The wait; We probably waited almost 30 minutes for our order and I must say that that has never happened before. You go to a taco stand and you are in and out in no time, believe me, I know! Now, I'm not sure that this is the standard but it really seems like they had just opened or something out of the ordinary happened just before we got there. unless a place is just absolutely horrendous, I will give it a second try. The food: I know, I know, "Finally she gets to the food," you say! It all went down in the car because this is not an eat in joint. Opened the boxes, snapped photos for yelp, noticed there was no radish on the side, squeezed lime on tacos, pour hot sauce/salsa on taco, looked at pile of grilled onions, (strange new thing for me, but okay), picked up taco and took a bite! Lots of cilantro flavor, meat is very tender but needs a bit more seasoning, raw onions, fresh and crunchy and hot sauce has a nice heat to it. Honestly, I think I would have liked it a lot less if it didn't have the hot sauce, I quickly envisioned a salt shaker in my mind. True story! Most taco stands double up on the tortillas but they only give you one. With the amount of filling, which is very generous, it could use the extra tortilla for support but I'm not complaining. The French fries appear to be fresh cut and were good and nicely salted but they were lukewarm! After the wait, they should have been piping hot. The torta was not on a traditional bolillos bread but on a sub roll. The steak in the torta was a bit salty, I couldn't taste or really see the avocado and it was just okay in my opinion but my husband says, "It was good!" Overall, the place could use a good scrub down, the freezer that held the the frozen bananas, mangonadas and ice cream needs to be cleaned. The floor could use a good scrub down but the food prep area behind the counter looked clean. I will most likely go back and try some other choices but until then my search for the perfect taco, continues.

    Tacos al pastor, asada and campechano

    The great taco search continues... Food truck addition. Stopped in to see Don Sammy at his taco truck on the corner of Little Rock and Wilkerson. It's in the airport express gas station. It take a little bit to cook because the food is made to order. The tortillas are made by hand and very good. I ordered a mix plate of tacos al pastor, asada and campechano. Though very good, they were not great. The price is equal to other trucks, at $2 per taco and I would recommend stopping by to support a small business

    Wow! I got two chicken tacos and they were pretty awesome. Highly recommend this place! I think the homemade tortillas is my favorite part of it.

    Holy grail of tacos..
    Yevgeniy M.

    Holy Tijuana Mexican Street tacos . I had the tongue, liver, cabeza and el pastor. It was amazing. The perfect amount of salt to meat to tortilla(looks Homemade) ratio. Paired well with the side of grilled onions and cactus (?)..was just plain amazing. All I was missing was the hangover. Más please...I'll be hitting this place every time I'm in charlotte. Make sure you call ahead, and get the correct address..

    Chicken and Steak Fajitas
    Ashley D.

    Yummy in my Tummy! I didn't know what to expect as this food truck is next to a strip club and gas station but I thought hey you only live once. Don't judge a book by its cover because the food was good and plentiful. I had the chicken and steak fajitas and they were full of flavor. The chef takes his time preparing your meal but I don't mind if he's preparing food like this. He said he used to have a restaurant but the building was sold and he is looking for another location. I definitely will be back.

    My GOODNESS!! Tacos Al Pastor- to die for!!! This place is GREAT!!!! Not from around here but we were looking for something quick but good (good luck right) we scored on this one!! The yelp reviews are great so why not right?!?! WORTH IT!! They don't take cards (FYI) and don't count on the ATM at the gas station next door (out of service the day we went). Oh! They take call in orders too!!

    THE BEST TACOS IN CHARLOTTE!!! Hands down!  This was only $5.00 ... $2.50 a piece

I just happen to be working in the area where Roaming Fork sets up on Thursdays out in Ballantyne and was able to grab some tasty lunch. The menu is varied and even has an Asian flare! I went with the recommendation of the cashier. I got the Porky Cheesy and the Truffle fries. The grill cheese had a good crunch and a good amount of filling. I love anytime you mix bbq pork and cheese and this didn't disappoint. The truffle fries get squirted with truffle oil after they come out the grease and have an amazing aroma. I liked the flavor but I love fries with a condiment so I felt like the fries could have used some ranch dipping sauce. The menu has a lot of items I would like to try. Hopefully I'm back in the area where they are located and can give them another try soon. Roaming Fork Thursday October 24, 2019 1pm

They also have the best yucca fries I've probably ever had. My issue with most yucca fries is that the texture tends to be pretty tough, but these are so soft inside - like they mashed the yucca first and then formed the fries. I don't know what magic they use, but they're incredible, and you must get some. We also got a churro filled with dulce de leche, and it came out nice and hot with lots of cinnamon sugar coating. I didn't love the dulce de leche filling for some reason - maybe I got spoiled by spending time in Argentina - so next time I'll likely go for the regular churro.

I follow these guys on Twitter and was always hoping they'd camp out in the Southpark area one day to draw a lunch crowd. To no avail, I was forced to wait until this weekend! Happy to find these guys at Small Bar in the NC Music Factory for PBR Fest. Churning out pizza and wings for the beer crowd. I had heard multiple cheers of praise and glory about this truck's pizza and wings. I was even a little intimidated approaching the order window. The staff were all very friendly and helpful with describing all of the menu items. We ended up getting two slices of cheese, a slice of the buffalo chicken and 5 Carolina Buffalo wings. We sat down with 24oz tallboys in hand and went to town. I was happy to say that the wings are AWESOME. Perfectly cooked, a little crispy on the outside, not dry, tender, slathered generously with amazing sauce. The Carolina Buffalo is a winner. Mustard-based bbq with a plethora of buffalo sauce thrown in. My taste buds were happy. Uhh...they need to make a Carolina Buffalo pizza. (No brainer, yeah?) The only thing that sank my happy sailing dinner experience was the pizza. A little lackluster and the sauce was a bit reminiscent of box pizza from the frozen section in the grocery store. Maybe our slices had been sitting out for a bit, but didn't have the freshest of textures. I did appreciate the crust and enjoyed sopping up the remainder of the wing sauce with them. I can't say that the pizza was banging on all cylinders or a culinary breakthrough, but is definitely reliable. The combo of wings and pizza in one meal from the street, though? Baller status. Grab a tallboy and it's all over. Foodtruck heaven. So happy to have finally tried these guys out and can't wait to see them at Chowdown Uptown in the near future! Carolina Buffalo Pizza, guys!
