    Another menu- for blue truck
    Kristen A.

    Very disappointed with our visit. After a family members recommendation to check this place out, we were stoked to make the 25 minute drive out late on a Saturday night... but I wish we would have just went to whataburger by the house lol. In the pictures, the food looks good, but everything was dry and really lacked flavor. The quesabirria just tasted like pulled meat, and lacked that Birria flavor. Even the consommé tasted like plain beef broth. The shrimp were way overcooked, super dry and overly seasoned. The chicken was tough and dried out. Rice almost tasted like plain white rice. And the pastor .... Just wasn't hitting. I was really excited about the horchata, but was disappointed when I took that first sip. Maybe I just don't know what good horchata is supposed to taste like, but it did not hit the spot for me. The lady taking our order wasn't exactly friendly, not a great customer service attitude.. just kinda seemed like she didn't want to be there. I get not wanting to work, but fake a smile when you work with people. As far as atmosphere, it could use a little work. No music, the string lights were off, and just wasn't a "fun" environment. My family probably won't be back.

    Nasty and this place is so over rated the meat was all hard and rubbery had to toss them because the meat was horrible yuck .

    Meat was horrible dry and very rubbery yuck never again what a waste of money. Now I understand what people are saying about this place js .

    This little taco truck serves up some delicious tacos. The meat in the tacos is tender but hearty, and portion sizes are perfect. My only gripe is with the corn tortillas, as they are a bit stale/old-tasting, but maybe it was an off day for them. I also tried the horchata, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. I'm not a fan of the rim of marzipan, but the horchata itself was good. Overall, a solid taco spot, even if it's not my fave in SA, but I still recommend coming here!

    I've been to Taquitos El Jefe a few times, and while their tacos were good, their horchata is AMAZING! I've gone back multiple times just for the horchata, and I think it's well worth it. Some might say the price is a bit steep, but trust me, the quantity you get is generous, and the quality is top-notch. I do feel as if their birria could have a bit more flavor but for now, I'll keep going back for that incredible horchata!

    One of the best taco trucks around! I went on a weekday and there was no wait at all and tons of tables and chairs but I did hear it gets packed on the weekend. The food and drinks were great and decently priced. everyone is very nice and they have music playing. All around good vibes and great food!

    These were super tasty, fresh and visually appealing tacos and drinks. The tables were clean, service was friendly and fast. They had music playing and the area was well lit. We want to return to try other menu items. Totally recommend the trek out to this vibrant local spot.

    quesadillas de birria

    Make sure to take cash, it's a CASH ONLY taco truck. I will go back to this place just for the horchata w/ mazapán rim!! It was delicious! The lady who took my order was very nice, great customer service. Great tacos, great speaker music(Spanish music), and great must-have aguas(horchata, cucumber lemonade, strawberry lemonade)! Next time I would ask to have corn quesadillas de birria instead of flour ones, not a fan of fried flour tortillas. I totally recommend the tacos Al-pastor, they were really really good!(sorry no pic of them)

    Line and parking

    The worst, no Parking and food took way too long! We waited An hour for to go tacos and cocktail. Got home cocktail was too spicy and literally like 3 possibly 4 shrimp. :/ for shrimp cocktail. Would def not recommend.

    El mero mero, taco truck!!

    If you're ever on the South Side or if you're craving some AMAZING tacos this is your place. The service is great the food is well prepared, tasty, and will cure that after work , I ain't cooking a damn thing craving. If you're not in the area, ROAD TRIP!!! You will not be disappointed.

    GAME CHANGER! When…read moreI visit San Antonio Plantaqueria is an absolute must. I'm taken aback every time I walk into to this wonderfully positioned taqueria in downtown steps from the River Walk. The smells, the feels, the sounds- it'll set your senses on fire. It's ambience is nothing short of walking the streets of Mexico and stumbling across the best local food find there is- it's your lucky day. It doesn't end there, because I have yet to discuss the flavors that this place dishes out. If you can imagine that other taquerias in town as as good as mamma's cooking, Plantaqueria is grandma's cooking saying, " I taught them everything they know." The counter service, decor and neon lights transport you to a pueblo that you probably have no business being in but were fortunate enough to get lost in. I feel that the people working to advance this visionary concept are in love with what they do because you get that experience with every bite of fresh, homemade goodness, weather you dine in or take/order out. Dude, fresh corn and flour tortillas, C'mon, man!! And speaking of vision, the owner, Sofia, who looks like she would get IDd at a bar has created something truly unique and incredibly delicious. Plantaqueria has revolutionized modern, classical Mexican street cuisine. It's open 7am-7pm so you can literally have this all day and you might wish you did. Y'all need to get you some, and don't thank me, thank the purveyors of this Alamo City gem. P.s. I've brought my mom in to eat this stuff and she totally agrees!

    My husband and I tried a few items here over a couple visits…read more The Machacado con huevo, here called La Macha with housemade jackfruit machacado scrambled with a vegan egg mix. (It had Just Egg but I think other things added with it. It felt that it was softer and lighter than if it was only Just Egg) and pico de gallo on handmade flour tortilla. We were surprised by how much we enjoyed it. Their two self-serve complementary salsas were also fun and creamy. Concha- Delicious and we liked the top of it. Maybe one of our favorite conchas. Elote hot cake - Came out really hot and was delicious. These are only available on weekends. I was tempted to get more but we had lots more food targets on the schedule. Torta with Asada was pretty good too. But the other items excited me more I think. The person at the front also gave us some samples of other taco fillings to try: the fillings of the La Ranchera: Potatoes and pico de gallo in salsa ranchera and also grilled nopales. My husband who is usually not as crazy as me about nopales liked them here. They have mole on the weekends but it's not housemade from scratch. They use premade mole and add some more things to it so we skipped that one. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

    There's a certain kind of joy you don't plan for, it just hits you. Like pulling up to your primo's…read morecarne asada, the loud one, the one where somehow the music is always right, the grill is always going, and for a few hours nothing else matters. That's exactly the energy at Los Weyes de la Asada. From the second you walk up, it feels alive. Not in a forced way, more like you've been there before, even if it's your first time. The kind of place where your stress, your diet, even your cruda takes a backseat. Now the food. No overthinking needed here. Everything coming out of that truck is a straight up pow pow of flavor. The carne is cooked just right, juicy with that perfect char, and the corn tortillas are legit, soft but with enough structure to hold everything together. I ordered the Mamón and the Chingón, and honestly, both lived up to the names. No misses. And the agua fresca de fresa? That sealed it. They serve it in a little bolsita, which somehow makes it hit even better. Simple, nostalgic, and just cool. It's all tucked inside El Camino, which adds to the whole vibe, string lights, people hanging out, that easygoing outdoor feel where you lose track of time a little.

    My wife and I stopped by Los Weyes De La Asada while we were at El Camino. I'd heard good things…read moreabout it, and seeing the charcoal grill going outside immediately got my attention. The smell alone made me think we were in for something special. We grabbed a couple of cocktails and ordered tacos, which seemed like the obvious choice. The tacos were good, but that's about where I'd leave it. They weren't bad at all, but they also weren't particularly memorable. With the aroma coming from the grill and all the recommendations I'd heard, I was expecting a little more flavor and a bigger wow factor. The atmosphere was fun, the service was good, and the charcoal grill definitely adds to the experience. I just found the food itself to be more "solid" than "spectacular." I'd rate it about a 7 out of 10. Worth trying if you're already at El Camino, but not a place I'd go out of my way for.

    Best bean and cheese with bacon on ST. Mary's! Love that it's a walk from LazyDaze…read more People are nice very nice little chill fast place spot.

    My wife and I use to frequent this place YEARS ago, the service was good and the food was good,…read moreyears later we decided to go back & mannn the food quality & service has went down terribly! Pulled up on a Friday late night with my family ordered the standard 5 tacos. They are a bit pricey as well. I ordered the carne Asada and my mother in law ordered the chicken. While it did seem like it tasted good it was super greasy. (TMI coming up) When I woke up the next morning my I noticed my bowels were literally moving the next day, (I counted about 9 times). I felt bloated and everything. My wife even told me that as we were pulling off she witnessed the cook I believe his name is Julio eating some of the product while he was preparing peoples food (the side door of the food truck was open so you could see right in). Funny enough we decided to go back Saturday evening to give them another try, thinking it would be better, BOY was we wrong. I ordered the same order plus charro Beans, elote (corn in a cup) and 3 cans of sprite. This time we took literally one bite and the meat was DRYER than the Saharan desert both the carne asada and the chicken. (Tasted like some reheated old meat or meat that had been made days prior). We were already at the hotel at this point and was infuriated!!! We ended up calling and I believe I spoke to Julio (or whoever the cook is) over the phone. After lying saying that he cooked the meat fresh that day he stuttered I told him aint no way the meat was fresh. He then said and I quote " I cooked the meat "a couple days ago" then said "sorry I burnt it or overcooked it". (Knowing that why would you serve that to me?) I then stated "yes it tasted old period". I requested a refund in which he agreed to. Driving all the way back I brought the food back as well. Julio (or whoever the cooks name is) tried to plead his case to me saying that the meat is fresh and took a fork and tasted the food himself and then tried to offer me the food. I told him "no I don't want to taste it, just refund me please" in which he did. Dishonesty, Not handling food with care, lying. Is something that crosses the line and I won't be back. *Also if the owner is reading this I have the phone conversation recorded and the video evidence to show proof this whole interaction, so do not just glaze over this review* I don't like writing bad reviews, but this one is for sure warranted. Seems like they will dress up the taco and selling you some "old meat" people just be careful and mindful when coming to this taco truck. "The Earths Best Taco" they say... that's a stretch!

The atmosphere and lighting create a very intimate vibe, and the darker setting really helps it stand out from other restaurants in Laredo. Just a heads up -- they do have a dress code, which honestly adds to the overall experience. The food was excellent. I ordered the chicken mushroom plate, and all the flavors were bold and well balanced. For drinks, I highly recommend the Jardin Eden. The fusion of lavender, blueberry, fruity liqueurs, and aromatic herbs made it one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. My only complaint was the service. We had a party of 10+ people with only one server assigned to us. He was very kind and professional, but it was difficult to find him throughout the night, especially when we were trying to pay our checks. The restaurant also wasn't very busy at the time, so service felt slower than expected. Overall, this is still a great spot for a special night out, and I would definitely come back.

My husband had the potato and egg taco (same feedback as me), and the beef taco, which he absolutely loved. Will we be back? No, but you can try it for yourselves (maybe not the potato and egg though).
