There's really nothing special about these soft shell street tacos. The chicken was bland although the chorizo was tasty... The tomatoes didn't appear fresh and the salsa was store bought (probably out of a can). I much prefer Cocina Real, Al Pastor, or Casa Noble. Disappointed overall since this place has 4.8 stars overall. read more

the food is amazing and the service is great it's a hit everytime. if you ever visit Milwaukee please stop and check out the best tacos in my city read more

It's been a few years since I have been to this truck and since it was 2ish and I haven't eaten anything yet I thought I would stop over for something small because dinner was somewhat close. The truck is west of Oscars Winners Circle on Burnham St and I have seen it there a few times so it's probably a daily spot. Since I wanted something small what should I get, a taco/frijoles charros, 2 tacos and I settle on a taco and tostada feeling that this was just the right size. WRONG because the bag felt heftyer but not quite burrito heft. When I opened my container I noticed that the two items were generously topped and looked amazing with grilled pepper/onions/limes as a garnish. The Al Pastor taco was tasty on two corn tortillas with plenty of meat, red onions and cilantro. The star was the steak tostada piled high on a super crispy corn tostada with plenty of steak, beans, sour cream, two nice fresh avocado slices and cheese. The tostada was very good and bigger than I expected but than again it's not ordered very much by me so it's possible this was the norm, I couldn't finish the whole plate before I was full. Overall I really liked how they didn't skimp out on anything and for a food truck they make a great presentation with the food. read more

I know about tacos, I look for the best anywhere I go, I lived in Mexico for 6 years and these are by far the best I have had in the states. The burrito... I asked only meat since I was taking it to my hotel, the tortilla was dry and the meat inside was juicy, I put some avocado, tomato and their sauce and I was in heaven... at the truck I had al pastor, asada, and chicken with onions and avocado... and their green sauce.. yes! Limón too... I ordered like When I lived in Ensenada, Mexico .. flour tortillas.... omg! I was back there... I will come back, I will go tomorrow for more. I am happy to have found this gem Very clean, fast, inexpensive, nice people... 10/10 read more

This is a great Mexican comfort food truck. Their quesadillas with carne al pastor are delicious!! Call ahead so you can pick up your food when you get there. Great food!! read more

We hit up the truck when we're in Milwaukee and hungry which is a few times a year. They did move and we had a little difficulty finding them this time but they are pretty much located across the street a very short distance from El Rey Mexican market. Every time we go it's soooooo good. It's been consistent over the last two years for us. My favorite is the tripita taco. Nice and crisp. The beans are also really good. I've tried the burrito which I didn't care for but I'm a taco fan in general. Plenty of street parking but no places to sit which is ok for us. We made it a tradition to set up everything on the trunk of the car and eat standing there ;) read more

El Charrito has my upmost respect for feeding those in need during this pandemic. Thank you guys for everything that you've done and will do for this community. The food is also amazing, but you guys already knew that! read more

Tacos, I could eat you every day. Why doesn't the El Charrito truck just follow me around the city, there and ready with al pastor when I need it? That would probably be pretty cost prohibitive, so I'll just stick to visiting them on the weekends at 38th and Burnham. I LOVE when food trucks have a schedule or a designated spot, because finding your favorites can be a real pain. Clearly this location is working well for them, because even on a Saturday afternoon there was a steady stream of walk-ups and people phoning in their orders to pick up. Who knew! I got a couple al pastor tacos and that pork is a tasty rendition. Lots of seasoning so the pork is deep red with flavor. No noticeable fat or gristle. Plenty of cilantro and onions, plus a lime wedge for each taco (as a citrus freak, that is important!). Doubled tortillas, as they should be. Paid an extra quarter to get avocado; totally worth it. Also got a plate of 5 mini tacos. They were probably like 3-biters each and stuffed full of meat. The chicken was shredded and a little bland, but chorizo made up for it. You can only order 2 meats for the 5 tacos, but that seemed reasonable. Also comes with a halved grilled jalapeno and some onions to make it a little platter. Red salsa was smokey but a little bland. Salsa verde was tangy and better. We waited 15+ minutes for our order which was kind of a bummer, but like I said they were taking a ton of phone orders so they seemed a little backed up in there. No matter, I will be back! read more

My friend, #1 taco truck. Fast and convenient. Clean truck. They take phone orders. Always by the same intersection.

I haven't written a review about this place?!? Let's get to it. I walk dogs across the street at MADACC on a regular basis. Walking past this taco truck with each dog is torturous (the smell is amazing). Add in that it's usually right before I eat dinner, and whatdyaknow, I end up scarfing down tacos in my car, smelling like dog slobber and poop. And it's glorious. It's so cheap it's ridiculous and the guys in the truck are super friendly. Oh yeah, and it's delicious? My favorite is the al pastor. read more

Eat here. Now. The al pastor and chicken tacos are off the chain. Flavorful, fresh and authentic. Yum read more

Tacos El Charrito Truck - a taco truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I've made one too many visits to this truck, as well as their truck on National in Clark Square. When it comes to delicious tacos, El Charrito does things right. The mark of a great taco is simplicity. I always order mine with cilantro and onions and with a hot sauce and a hint of lime. The limited number of ingredients helps to make an apples-to-apples comparison. My favorite is the carne asada. Don't come here if you expect a healthy, dry steak. El Charrito's carne asada includes just the right amount of fat to keep things fresh and tasty. They also don't skimp on meat, and you can usually get full from 2-3 tacos. I also have to say that they do a good job with the pastor. My meal also always includes a fresh horchata! Aside from tacos, El Charrito offers the typical taco truck cuisine, such as burritos, quesadillas, etc..... Food trucks are great options if you're in a time pinch, so take advantage of this gem if you happen to be in the area of their two trucks! Service is always friendly!!!!! read more

Meat was seasoned to perfection!!! Truck appears to be very clean and organized. Ordered mini tacos (asada, chicken & pastor) and burritos...ah-may-zing!! read more

Could never get my wife to stop, so while out with my son we stopped to try a few tacos. What a great choice! The double corn tortilla steak tacos were excellent. Green sauce was delicious! Will definitely visit this taco truck again! read more

Great food truck amidst the variety of choices in the city. One of my top faves! Always hot and made to order!

I've eaten at my fair share of swanky overpriced taco food trucks. And every time I end up calculating how many delicious El Charrito tacos I could have eaten for the same price. Mm...I can taste the asada with a squeeze of lime right now. It is hard to pick a loser on this menu but I suggest the asada tacos. read more

If you are looking for great tasting authentic Mexican food, this taco truck is the right place!

The best taco truck around! It's the Only one I will go to..always people lined up good location and convenient

El Charrito. Probably my favorite place ever for real-deal tacos. I often find myself stopping here once a week or more. It's that good and just a straight to the point, feed your craving style place to eat. I've tried quite a few things on the menu and they are all awesome. However, the tacos are always my absolute favorite. Some of the people I've talked to about eating from a truck give me a weird look and seem to think it's unsanitary. I can tell you it's completely the opposite. All of the trucks are very clean and you can tell they take all of the necessary precautions to maintain the standard. They do a great job all around and are absolutely excellent at what they do. Check them out! It's well worth it. read more

Everything good about a taco truck can be found here. Real Mexican, good prices. Food fresh and delicious. Why would anyone eat at a fast food place if given the option. read more

My wife and I were at the Restaurant Depot on 13th street when we spotted the El Charrito taco truck across the street. We decided to give them a try and we were not disappointed. We ordered 4 chicken tacos for $2.00 each. The tacos were outstanding, the price was cheap, and the staff were very friendly. What more could you ask for; I don't think it gets any better than this. read more

one of the best burritos I've ever had in my life and I tried it this morning for the first time

I have been stopping here on my way to work to pick-up on a steak burrito, most of the time 5 minute wait but on last visit 15 minutes, call-in orders and walk-ups keep the guys busy, with so many places to get Mexican food this is 1 of my go to places for great food. always makes lunch time something to look forward to. read more
