I'm a hardcore taco critic and this is officially my new fave taco place around!! We each ordered the 5 mini tacos with steak and all the toppings with a side of beans and it HIT!! Everything was SO good! Service was great too! The gentleman that took our order today shortly after they opened at 6pm was very friendly and we are new in town so it made a big impression :) We received our food pretty quickly and they brought it to our vehicle which was a nice touch. Also, they have some tables with seating as well so you can eat on sight or take it to go of course. It's a great taco truck! We will definitely be back!! read more

Great food Great service, Plenty of menu options to choose from. The asada tacos were just right.

They are a food truck that sets up shop in the parking lot on Staples and Curtis Clark Dr. It's in the same plaza as Gemini Sushi Lounge and Hicks Floral shop. The employees are very friendly and enjoy their work. It was busy but they kept the orders coming out fast. They have about two tables set out if you want to eat in the parking lot instead of taking to go. What I ordered: Carne Asada Torta - The bread was a little over toasted but it is a nice size sandwich. Carne asada is okay but not great. Birria Burrito - Yummy! Birria (they use beef) is tender, savory, and flavorful. Birria Quesadilla and Al Pastor Quesadilla - Yum! The birria was better than the al pastor. They are small snack size quesadillas but also only $3! My favorite protein on the menu is the birria! Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and the three salsas they serve are all good. Heads up, they are only open for dinner starting at 6pm every night. read more

Tacos El Tri - Ordene 5 mini tacos de asada y no tiene sabor. I ordered the 5 mini asada tacos and it has no flavor - Food Trucks Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

First the service: it was awful. After placing my order the guy said he'd call when it was ready. It started pouring down rain so I opted to wait in my car. I was a little worried about how I was gonna hear the guy call over the rain but then I saw he was actually using like a flashlight or something to get the attention of the customers. I thought that was clever and definitely better than trying to shout over the rain. So I'm waiting for my order and I'm seeing folks who had just pulled up getting their food before me. I'm watching and he's using the light to get everyone's attention but never looks over to me. After about 30 minutes of waiting, I go up to see what the hold up was and this guy just hands me a bag that's just been sitting on the counter. Apparently, my order was ready and he just didn't bother to let me know. The food: disappointing. Since the service was bad I was hoping the food would at least be good. I ordered quesibirra tacos & quesadillas. Of course, the food was no longer piping hot since they let the order sit. The quesitacos barely had any cheese and the birria itself was dry...how is your birria dry? I like trying new places but this time was a bust. read more

This place is generally open from 6p- midnight! Awesome food and service! They were quick with my food and everything was well seasoned! Will definitely be back once I come back into the city! Ily Tacos El Tri you did me good! read more

Can't go wrong with the mini tacos. Pastor or asada are my personal favorites. Helps if you call ahead

Moving to Corpus we didn't know where our fav taco truck was gonna pop up. Luckily we found it on S Staples, great prices, great service, may take a minute, but be patient and I guarantee it'll be worth the wait in flavor, portion, quality and ingredients. They are cash only and open about 6pm. Look for the flashing lights on S Staples and you'll find the best taco truck around CC. read more

One of the best taco trucks around. 4 stars only because they have poor seating available, so I end up doing takeout every time.
