Great tacos in a food truck in a gas station!
I saw this on the west side US-1 Washington Boulevard at the north end of Elkridge. Taqueria la Patrona is a tiny pink food truck in the Exxon parking lot. There's no picnic table.
I got a couple of Carnitas soft tacos and a couple of Al Pastor soft tacos. They were both freshly made for me. They were hot and juicy. They serve them each with two corn tortillas so that they hold together just long enough. (Aug 2026)
The Carnitas were tender and sweet and juicy with chopped onions, a very mild flavor. They were great with fresh squeezed lime, or with the salsa Rojo or salsa Verde that they give you on the side.
The Al Pastor were a deep red, marinated pork, well flavored, with little pineapple chunks mixed in. What a treat! They were also good with lime or salsa, and the salsa Rojo really woke up the spiciness of the Al Pastor. Both came with cucumbers slices, and radish slices.
This is a great place for authentic tacos and other authentico comidas. The folks in the food truck were nicely welcoming. read more
