2025 New Location Update! YES, these are the same amazing tacos by the same amazing people. My friend and I enjoyed lunch the second week of June, and even though it was a hot day, it was not unbearable in the cool shade of the oak trees at this location on the south side of Creighton. I ordered a torta sandwich and a taco. The tacos comes with two shells so I typically split the meat, add the onion and radish topping, and make one green sauce and one red sauce. These sauces are excellent but be warned they will light you up. If you enjoy street tacos you owe it to yourself to give these a try. Call ahead for carryout to save time. read more

Tacos El Amigo is a cool place to grab a Mexican meal in a lot with three food vendors. After reading a lot of great reviews, I headed here for lunch. The service here is very friendly and professional. I opted for two tacos, a cabeza taco and a campechano. Both were excellent and their green and red sauce only added to the culinary wonder of their tacos. It was a great day to chill at one of their tables and just soak up the vibe of this place. I would definitely recommend Tacos El Amigo. The price is right, the tacos are loaded and the taste is stellar. Add to that, the service was great and you have a winning combination. read more

I thought I was reviewing this food stand a couple of months ago, but it turns out I rated one of the other food stalls thinking it was this one. The tacos Al pastor here are awesome! They remind me of the tacos Al pastor I ate in Los Cabos (in the downtown area that most tourists avoid). Needless to say, these tacos were amazing! The other item that I would be remiss not to mention is their tamales. They are akin to the tamales I experienced when visiting the Yucatan Peninsula. Wrapped in banana leaves with the most tasty pork filled between the delicious tasting masa. I don't think I could resist ordering these when eating here. The service is also nice. Although you order at for register, they're happy to deliver everything to you at your table, if you're eating there. I should also mention both the salsa verde and the salsa rojo are perfect accompaniments to their food. The dining area is comprised of tables with umbrellas or tables under awnings on a big wooded deck. The three stalls; Mexican, Colombian, and Salvadorean all have their areas of the deck but are happy to see you patronize their neighbors and eat various food items from them... This is a great find. Really good, I recommend it! read more

Was out running errands and wanted something quick and saw this truck. Talk about luck! It may seem like your average food truck on the outside consisting of outdoor seating, but their tacos were great. I got 2 carne asada and 1 lingua. The service was fast and servings came out well portioned and delicious! The size would be on the smaller end, but each layered with 2 corn tortillas and a good amount of meat, you get full fast. Will definitely be back and keto as one of my regulars in the area. read more

Authentic street tacos with sauces that have a kick! Got 2 chicken tacos, 2 steak tacos and 1 steak quesadilla. They were prepared quickly. Very flavorful. Glad there is a place like this in the area! read more

This is a taco food truck with outdoor seating. It's connected to another business so it's kind of confusing at first but they sell different things. I got steak and shrimp tacos and elotes street corn to go. It was ready fast and the service was kind and brought my food to me while I was ordering a smoothie from the other food truck. They made my order exactly how I asked for with no spicy spices or sauces on anything and everything was great. It's everything I expected when I go to a taco truck. Photo of updated menu and prices. I love when places have photos of the food. read more

I go here regularly; it has, hands down, the best tacos. They have two locations here. I have been to both, and their quality is reliably consistent. Eating in is always better than taking out. If you do order to take out, I'd recommend you to Alacarte the meats that you want and prepare them at home. Their meats are all so good that I order one of each every time I go. Suadero is not listed on their menu, but they serve it; it's a favorite of mine; their Tripas, Cabeza, Lengua, and Al Pastor are all excellent. Not to mention, the Al Pastor is made authentically here on Shawarma Machines and not a grill. I took these photos on Independence Day; they had Mariachis show up to celebrate. Pictured are their tacos de Al Pastor and Lengua, as well as their Elote. read more

Truly the most authentic tacos I've had since moving to Pensacola from San Diego, Ca. I'm Mexican & I highly recommend this spot. I love how they have 3 authentic cultures next to each other. I'll need to come back for Popusas & ceviche. read more

Best tacos around. I'm originally from Southern California, and these tacos are what I have been missing when it comes to Mexican food. The staff is extremely nice and on a good weather day, nothing beats sitting on the deck enjoying some tacos and horchata. read more

MY FAVORITE TACO PLACE- they have moved from Tippen to Creighton Road at the BP Station before you get to Davis Hwy.

They have the best authentic Mexican food in the area. Bad news, I think they moved? Please let us know where y'all went!

The food is amazing!! I had the Chicken Torta on my last visit and it was full of deliciousness. Grabbed a few of the sauces and it made it even more amazing. My wife had the chicken quesadilla and said it was the best she's ever had. It took a few minutes to get through the line, but served within minutes after ordering. Super casual, back of the gas station dive. Love everything about it read more

Me and my boyfriend came here because of all the good reviews , unfortunately we did not have the same experience, everything was very bland and the meat on the tacos was very dry, both of our stomachs got upset shortly after read more

Food was good and service was very quick. Love the cute outdoor seating area covered with umbrellas.

I was not going to write a review for Tacos el Amigo for the longest time. We didn't want it to get out of hand like El Asador has. That's where we used to go. We would be two out of the 5 or 6 other diners. It then blew up into the line around the building place it is today. It wasn't until the local newspaper ran a story on Tacos el Amigo that I changed my mind. The word is out on our very favorite place to get Mexican street food. Tacos el Amigo is not fancy, and it is not trying to be. It is a food truck serving traditional Mexican food. Notice I didn't say authentic. I don't like using that word to describe a nationality's food. Did I grow up there? Did my grandma make these dishes for me? No. Authenticity is for the people whose food it IS to decide. My wish is for people to stop using that word to describe food. Anyhow..... Tacos el Amigo's food is delicious. That's what matters. I have eaten most of the food on the menu. I have liked all of it. The kicker is the "salad" that they bring to the table. (See picture). We put it on everything we eat there. They also bring a red and a green hot sauce to the table and I make everything Christmas style. Give it a try. You won't regret it, unless you can't handle the heat. So there you go Pensacola. Tacos el Amigo is in our opinion the best taco truck in town. Go check them out. Just don't go on Saturday for lunch. That's when we will be there until it gets too hot to sit outside. At that point go whenever you want. read more

Came here my lunch break and ordered 2 tacos de lengua and a tripa taco. They're pretty small but only $3. It came with a salad I've never seen before. Just purple onion, pineapple, radish and habanero, pretty good and refreshing but spicy asf. Great customer service and nice atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating. read more

Great food!!! AMAZING FOOD! The service was fast and efficient. The food was super hot and flavorful! I can't say much other than I was impressed and very happy. The outdoor seating is a little cold given the weather but if you are lucky to catch an indoor table they have space heaters for you. read more

Outstanding tacos with quick service! a great place to grab lunch on a beautiful day!

Most authentic Mexican tacos in Pensacola! We moved from California and have had no luck in finding some good tacos or Mexican food in general. Tacos el Amigo is legit you won't be disappointed!! read more

Drove by these guys a few times...a makeshift outdoor dining area on a dirt lot utilizing a taco truck as their kitchen. They made a covered dining area so you're not seated on the ground. Visiting from the west coast, I can emphatically say that these are good street tacos and are as good as you'd get out in California. Now I have had better tasting street tacos in Cali, but not many. I don't know if their prices are high ($2.50 each is the most I've ever paid anywhere) for the area or if they did a price increase because of the pandemic restrictions. In CA, most food trucks jacked their prices as they became one of the few food outlets available. Supply and demand...it's a bitch! read more

Oooh okay. So I moved from SoCal to Pensacola a couple years ago and have been trying to find something close to authentic. My boyfriend and I went here today (my first time) and all I can say is "thank you!". It's definitely the closest I've found to a SoCal taco shop. I got their Asada Quesadilla and he got three Asada tacos. Everything was really good. Their salsa is super yummy. We will definitely be back. Also for being crowded the service was really fast and it wasn't too loud either. read more

Tacos were fantastic. Ordered Al Pastor and Asada Tacos! Did not disappoint! Also ordered the Horchata and it was amazing!! If we lived in Pensacola, this would be our spot! It's definitely worth a try and coming back to!!! read more

Tacos El Amigo - Al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I go eat there almost once a week and never had a bad meal. The tacos are amazing and everybody working here is always nice!

Amazingly delicious! The set up is a trailer with a fairly large outdoor, covered seating area. You sit then order if you're dining in, or at the counter if you're taking out. The menu is succinct without any fluff. You get a bowl of lightly pickled veggies and red and green sauces, both if which had a good kick. I ordered the pastor, asada, and lengua tacos. All of the meats were tender and bursting with flavor. They came topped with the simple cilantro and onion, plus a side of limes. I appreciated that the tortillas didn't break at all and the portions were on point. Of the three, the lengua was my favorite by far. I know El Asador is known as THE place for tacos in pcola, but personally El Amigo was better and could hold its own in San Diego. Overall, these tacos are legit. read more

Tacos El Amigo - Pastor, asada, and lengua tacos - Mexican Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Amazing! Highly recommend for fresh and delicious food. The asada was so good. Going back to try more items.

Best steak quesadillas in town. As long as you're prepared to burn the roof of your mouth, you'll want to eat the whole damn thing, and it's the size of a football too! Real fresh limes too, I love to suck on the limes and pretend I've got green teeth. Although the limes do seem to burn my sensitive teeth too. Overall, I'd eat here everyday if I can afford it. read more

I landed in the airport nearby and as soon as I landed I felt hungry. This was one of the first places I noticed on my way out of the airport and I stopped. And let me tell you I am glad I did. The couple tacos I got were full of flavor and the sauces had just enough of a kick to hit my taste buds just right. Will be back to try other items on the menu. Don't skip this place. It's really good read more

By far one of the best tacos In this area ! Must try we had asado , tripas , pastor & cabeza ; all were mouth watering and the side Caribbean salad for the topping of the tacos is the best ! Definitely coming back read more

Well, I've been on the road since June 1st 2020 cause of COVID ( Cali being lockdown ). I feel this is the best time to do what you want to do out of your life ( live your dream ). I took off to Florida, checking things out and etc. I heard Florida has good Cuban food & that is true. For Mexican food it's a lie. Until today, I found a taco shop, well taco truck that's parked in a empty parking lot. I checked out their menu & I decided to give them a try since every other Mexican place disappointed me in Florida. I have to say, when I took a bite into their tacos, it put a tear in my eye cause it was sooo good, that it made me miss San Diego more read more
