    a plate of food
    Chelsea M.

    If you have to stop by a taco truck, this should be on your list. We went to the food truck rodeo yesterday and I have to say I was impressed with this truck. we decided to be adventurous and eat the fish tacos. The fish was cooked perfectly and the flavors were quite delicious. The fried plantains were to die for, and they got even better with the salsa that was provided. The staff is nice. We will most definitely be eating here at this truck again. I promise you.

    Shrimp Tacos & Moo Moo Nachos

    Great surprise that your truck was in town! We had the Shrimp Taco plate, Moo Moo Nachos and ChipsnCheese. Very quick considering everyone waiting on their own orders. Food was awesome, hot, just the right amount of spice! Can't wait to eat at your location again. I want Churros next time. Thnks

    I got the "Double Dippin" and it was DELICIOUS! Prices are good and the people are friendly. I will definitely be looking forward to trying other items on their menu soon!

    I had Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos and a buttery, crispy super cheesy quesadilla for the little one. Delicious!!

    Mahi-mahi tacos and Ahi tacos

    Had the mahi-mahi tacos and the Ahi tacos. They were good but small. Definitely not worth the price. But they were very tasty.

    Where are you guys usually located? And do you sell churros?

    Hi Hilda, We don't have a permanent spot where we park. You can view our full calendar on our site at The13thTaco.com to see exactly where we are and the times we're there. Today we'll be at the Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo in downtown.…

    Stopped by Taqueria El Toro last week after a few people had recommended this place. I'll admit my…read moreexpectations may be shaped by having a lot of Tex Mex style food in Texas, but I wanted to give this a try. When you arrive, there is plenty of parking around the building, and entrances in the front and on the right side. Once inside, you'll walk up to counter and place your order. Your then given a order number and it's open seating. Your number will be called out in Spanish when your food is ready and you'll pick it up at the counter. I ordered an al pastor taco which unfortunately was not good. It came out extremely cold and needed a lot of salsa for it to have any flavor. I also ordered a steak burrito which was much better and was served with melted cheese on the top. There were fatty pieces throughout the burrito but this was far better than the taco. Lastly, I ordered a horchata but it tasted like grainy and wasn't great. If I'm in the area again I may give this a try but I'd definitely stick with a burrito so your food is hot.

    First visit. Not my favorite Raleigh taqueria but ok if you are in the neighborhood…read more Tacos were good (both types of chicken) with good portions of meat and tasty flavors. Counter service was very friendly. Menu seems diverse. Restaurant is huge and clean. Prices are good value. Salsa bar was lacking. Only two types of salsa and was not a fan of either. : ( Tortilla Chips are the variety that are thicker, harder, and not as tasty. And they were probably over cooked. : ( Burrito was just ok but again good portion.

    It's so unfair that the best Taco Bamba location imo happens to be the one farthest away from me…read more We have friends who came to visit us in the DC region, and fell in love with Taco Bamba when we brought them to the Vienna location. They would then make a point to come visit one of the locations (Springfield, Landmark, Vienna) anytime they were visiting. It was simply meant to be that they happened to relocate to Raleigh where a Taco Bamba location exists, so that now WE get to visit THEIR Bamba. Their Raleigh location specific tacos are truly amazing. The Queen Bee and Sweet Baby Jesus are delicious. It's also nice that this location has a really nice outdoor seating area. There's ample seating both indoor and outdoor, and despite it usually being busy we always manage to find a table.

I sat at the Bar and the bartender Teran took great care of me! I ordered a side of guac to go with my chips, 3 shrimp tacos with beans and rice! Just an FYI, everything here is 'a la carte.' I also order the white peach margarita - which was delicious! They also have a sauce bar with medium and hot salsas! They also have a patio for outside dining with corn hole games as well! I will definitely be back - hopefully Teran will be working when I return. SIDE NOTE

When we went on a Friday at lunch it wasn't initially too crowded but quickly got busy at 12/12:30. You order at the counter. I grabbed chips and salsa, the El Diablo taco and Steak Al Cabron taco, and a soft drink. In total, I think was around $20. As I mentioned, the place got busy quick so it took a little bit to get our food out to us but no worries because we had our chips and drinks to enjoy. I found the tacos to be amazing and hefty. I am torn about paying $6 for a single taco. That being said, I would pay for these $6 tacos again. Definitely a fun little spot to grab lunch with friends. I would encourage you though to give yourself 1.5 - 2 hours in case you come during a busier time like we did.

I went for a half chicken with the rice, beans, and a side of corn. This also comes with your choice of flour or corn tortillas. I also got 3 tacos- chicken, steak, and shrimp. I had everything with flour tortillas. The total for all- which could've fed 2-3 people, was around $45. The quality of the food was AMAZING. The steak and chicken tacos were sooo juicy and good that I've been wanting to go back just to get it again. If you try any taco, get the steak. There is also a salsa bar, and the first greenish/white sauce (cilantro crema?) was so good on everything so don't forget to grab a cup or 2. I later had the chicken with rice, beans, and corn and was extremely satisfied. I probably won't eat at another chicken spot other than this now. In addition to great food and good service- the restaurant is so pretty and modern inside. It was surprisingly empty and had so much seating inside and outside.

Dining outside at this busy street corner is like eating in the middle of a moving painting--chaotic, colorful, and endlessly entertaining. The symphony of the city combined with the clanging of silverware while being serenaded by the Mamas and the Poppas, it all wraps you like a warm breeze, it's an electrifying energy that feels both invigorating and alive. Meanwhile every staff member seems to glide effortlessly through the space, moving with purpose, assuring you an excellent dining experience. If you're lucky enough to get Mikey for a server, his energy is contagious--he lifts your mood and he will delver an excellent dining experience. This one-page menu is the perfect mix of simplicity and diversity, capturing the essence of Mexican food without overwhelming, giving you just enough to excite your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Gringo's Old Fashioned is a unique and comforting twist on the popular drink and the chorizo enchiladas will want you coming back for more, my only wish would be for flour tortillas in place of the con tortillas. Cheers!
