Great spot and amazing service! Phoned in our order and they had it ready to go in the 10 minutes it took us to drive there. I ordered the Al pastor burrito and the carne asada nachos. They actually made our nachos fresh, they said "we didn't want to give you soggy nachos so we'll make it real quick." I really appreciated that extra thoughtfulness when preparing our food! They were very generous with the fillings and the meat was very flavorful. I would definitely come again! read more

So good I bought two! The meat was so fresh we saw it being delivered. I ordered the carnitas burrito and it was so delicious I bought another for my partner. They had it ready in a few minutes. This is located in a parking lot so it is best to get the food to go. This is now my favorite spot in Merced for burritos. read more

Good taco truck! Their tacos always hit. I like how it comes with grilled onions. I wish the burritos were bigger and more meat was put in them. Sometimes you bite into straight tortilla. Always call ahead so you don't wait for your food, they get pretty busy read more

Hildalgo, So yelp tells me you are the best truck in the area as does google reviews.. (wait am I allowed to mention them here?...) So I had to give it a try. Your Carnitas are Good. Your carne asada tacos good. The corn tortillas were grilled with a slight crisp. Amazing. Really good stuff. Worth the wait. But that seg ways into the not-so-great. It's pretty simple, the wait time can be long... very long. You must put a lot of love into making every hand-crafted taco because sometimes it surprises me how long it takes. Definitely took the advice of others who said to call ahead if possible. It's also important to call ahead because sometimes you aren't even there!! So definitely call, make sure they are there, and then order ahead. Also a bit disappointed in your pastor. Usually a staple for me. Also what is up with the tacos in Merced, they are all "street tacos" meaning they are smaller than other trucks I've been to. But hey, it's ok because your carnitas and carne asada are delicious. And as I said, worth the wait. Oh and all the extra onions and vegetables on the side is a huge plus. Yum. Until my next taco craving Hildalgo... read more

Tacos Hidalgo's is a hidden gem that delivers bold, authentic Mexican flavors with every dish! The carne asada is perfectly grilled. The asada fries are packed with tangy, savory goodness, and even the rice and beans stand out. This place is the best taco truck I have been to and Ive traveled up down the Central Valley experiencing different kinds of trucks over the years. This place is one of one! On top of the great food the service was fast, friendly, and gave a cozy welcoming vibe! read more

My favorite taco truck in town but it also happens to be walking distance from my house, so it's our go-to for tacos. Their regular tacos (I've tried asada, pastor, carnitas, chicken) are finger-licking good and their quesobirria is one of the best I've had from a taco truck. Also love their burritos (the supreme veg burrito is probably the tastiest veg burrito I've had), asada fries, and rice and cheesy beans. Everything always tastes and looks fresh, which is amazing to me because they're a small truck and they are busy all day long. I don't know how they're able to fit all that fresh food on their truck. But, they do it. Would definitely recommend calling ahead as they do get busy. read more

I know who you are. You just spent a week in Yosemite enjoying all that nature has to offer. You feel spiritually refreshed and mentally clean. But you also haven't showered in 5 days. And you're hungry. Good lord you are so hungry. Turns out that being close to nature means eating garbage camping meals. Well you're in luck, because right In the heart of Merced (conveniently located right off of 140) is Hidalgo's Taco Truck. To say that these are the best tacos in California is an understatement. Two words: homemade tortilla. That's all you need. That's why this food truck review is mainly about camping. Because the food here DOESNT NEED ANY HELP! Do yourself a favor and order 3 tacos (chicken) and a beef quesadilla. You better get everything on it, don't skimp on the sour cream. Your diet doesn't start till tomorrow.

Wow. This has always had the best tacos in merced, but now that they have keto tacos, it's the best place to eat in merced. They use fried cheese for the taco shells, and it's freaking amazing!! If your doing a keto diet, you can not miss out on these tacos, they are the best thing I've found around here for a quick meal that's still fully keto. You probably can't eat all of the caramelized onions and not go too high on carbs, but a few on each taco should be fine. Just cheese and meat and sour cream and onions, totally keto. I don't know why they don't have a huge sign advertising that they have Leto tacos, I think they'd most likely get a ton more business if they made it well know. I can't recommend this place enough. Try it today. read more

I could have gone for a cup instead, but instead took what I couldn't eat to-go and enjoyed it later. The corn bread was delicious--slightly sweet, and moist enough to not fall apart when I cut into it with my fork. I usually love butter with corn bread, which they offered me, but it didn't need it. I wasn't sure which pie to get-they have so many to pick from. Checking out the options in the bakery case didn't help because they all looked so beautiful. I ended up selecting peach, and it was amazing. The peaches were perfectly caramelized but still maintained their texture. The bake of the pie brought out their ultimate peachiness. The crust was just the right thickness. Even though it was a cold slice, the crust remained flakey. The cafe had ample seating. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. Pricing is on the high end, but I'm not sure how much that is because food is so expensive now-a-days. I was a bit surprised to see sandwich combos (with a side) all starting at around $20, and going up from there. It was after 2 in the afternoon, so the bakery had several 50% off boxes of baked goods to select. Four large cookies for I believe $12 or so (I could be wrong). There weren't too many options left in the bakery cases. I would love to see what this place offers when it first opens. Stay tuned for an update once I get that chance.

People of all ages were present & either vibing to the music, working on their laptops, or chit chatting. 10/10 experience all around, we will definitely be coming back!

Every once in awhile I just want a good Carne Asada Taco from a taco truck. Merced has some good taco trucks and so I was happy. Then my friend got me a plate of Carne Asada tacos from Hidalgos Taco Truck and I realized these were the very best Carne Asada tacos I'd ever had, anywhere! The little lady that makes the tacos is so nice. The food is always fresh, generous and delicious. The tacos are served with a side of grilled onions, limes, avocado, and a chili pepper making it possible for you to add to your tacos or not as you prefer. The generous portion of meat on each taco is tender and seasoned perfectly, garnished with cilantro-or not as is your preference. Tacos Hidalgos Taco Truck is located so that it is easy to get in and out of without having to deal with excessive traffic. As I said, excellent Carne Asada Tacos served to you by nice people, good customer service. Easy to get to. Highly recommend! read more

There's plenty of parking in the lot and along the street. There's no seating; it's just pick up and go! I stopped by after studying in the coffee shop right next door! There was one lady running the show--taking orders and cooking up the food! She was awesome, and the food came out pretty quickly. I got an asada taco and an al pastor tacos with everything--salsa, onions, and cilantro, along with grilled onions, grilled jalapeño, and radish on the side. My one qualm is that I wish I had more salsa! So next time I go, I'll definitely ask for more. Other than that, it was good! Definitely a solid spot. You won't be disappointed eating here. If I'm ever in the area, I would definitely get more tacos or try out other things. Yum!!!
