In reading a one star review they talk about waiting 2 1/2. Hours. And when the food came, it was ok food. I think it was setting up for a loss. If a wait gets in the way of the food, go. Somewhere else. But this place!!!oh my god. The oyster taco was hauntingly good. read more

Just take the drive to get there!! You won't regret it! Awesome tacos and awesome people!!

Good tacos , rude though. I simply asked how much time it would take to get a taco to see if I had time before I went to work. He said 5 minutes . I said ok and order a taco. When he gave me my food he said "next time your in a hurry, go to another vendor" . Was not nice in how he said it either. No worries .won't ever go there again. read more

Hands down the best tacos! Different combinations that are always on point. The ahi tuna with wasabi has the most amazing flavor. I look forward to returning!! read more

Best fish tacos in the valley. Owner is a character like most superb cooks who are dedicated to their craft. Very creative ingredients and generous portions. Mushroom tempeh tacos are also excellent. Brussel sprouts are superb. Sometimes you have to wait a bit longer but always worth it. read more

These are the best tacos in the area that are not your traditional Mexican tacos. Tons of fresh fish tacos and even vegetarian options! My personal favorite is the tempeh mushroom taco! This place is not for you if you don't like a variety of explosive flavors and plenty of spice. Definitely a must try! They're worth the price. Get 2 if.your hungry! Brussel sprouts are yummy too read more

Attended an Ashland Folk Festival show at Fry Family farm, we didn't eat dinner before because we were excited to try Word on the Street's tacos. We (and many others) were stupid enough to stand in line for 2.5 hours. We ended up missing a majority of the show, and at some point I left my husband in line so I could catch a few songs. My husband was only able to catch the last three and the people who were in line behind us literally got back in time for the encore song, when the show was over there were still people waiting for food... There seemed to be absolutely no urgency from the truck staff to speed things up or update folks in line on the wait times. We literally debated leaving, eating, and coming back and I really wish we would have. Highly recommend skipping this truck if they're going to be at any kind of event, I'm sure they're wait time isn't as long when they're just parked somewhere on a Thursday. We've been to a number of shows at Fry Family Farm and never had this issue with the other trucks that were there. They seriously need to take lessons from other trucks on efficiency. Food was fine but absolutely not worth that wait. read more

Way over the top an absolutely fantastic spot... I tried the coconut shrimp taco and he gave me a few Brussels sprouts and fries and they are fantastic too Don't miss this place read more

I ate it too fast to get pictures. It was SO good! Best fusion tacos I've ever had. Be patient - he makes them all individually and fresh so it takes awhile but well worth the wait!

Savory and delicious fresh sea food tacos with homemade pickled onions and truly special sauces!!! We enjoyed the outdoor seating next to the Flywheel Bike shop in Talent ... excellent and unique flavors. We'll be back soon as the menu changes with the season! Owner and chef Erik was delightful and a well seasoned traveler with tales to tell! Word on the Street is a treat for visitors to the Rogue Valley as well as a favorite with locals! read more

You can't go wrong with these tacos. They were spectacular... fresh, complex, and cooked perfectly! You savor every taste he mixes into the taco. I highly recommend the Seared Ahi if you like wasabi! Clears up the sinuses in a great way. Love that wasabi burn. Finished it off with the sweet shrimp. No need to take off the tails just enjoy the extra crunch. The Baja Cod was delicious as well! Can't go wrong. So many flavors. My only disappointment was when I finished my two tacos and wished there were more... read more

Lived up to its reviews! Been wanting to check this place out for a long time, just don't make it to Medford usually, while this place is open. Def worth the wait. Large portions, and delish! Seems like the chef has his eye on fresh, local and organic ingredients. Highly recommend! . For those who are sensitive to spicy food, be aware that the seared tuna has jalapeños and a wasabi sauce. Just at my personal limit, but still devoured. read more

Love the tacos...! Always nice to have vegan options. It's a special treat every time I eat from Word on the Street. Owner is a character and always makes me laugh. I recommend eating at this food truck whenever you get the chance. read more

Definitely deserves a 5 star rating. You can tell he puts a lot of care and work into each taco. He has a great selection of seafood tacos but I decided to go with the 2 vegan options: vegan jungle love ($6) and vegan mushroom tempeh ($4). Jungle love: includes a huge plantain and a tempeh patty; pickles; cabbage; and drizzled with yellow sauce - tons of flavor and bigger than the other tacos Mushroom tempeh: super unique combo of flavors using tempeh patty; mushroom; the roasted seaweed was a delicious touch Was only in town for 2 days but glad I was able to try Word on the Streer read more

Having read all the amazing reviews I decided to check this place out. Not only was I impressed by the fact there were so many options no matter what your dietary restrictions, I have a fair few, but the owner was also very friendly. I ordered the Sushi Style Ahi taco and all I can say is WOW!! The first bite of the taco gave me chills. This work of art was not only picture worthy, but it was one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten. I would absolutely recommend this place to ANYONE WITH TASTE BUDS! If there was an option for more than 5 stars I would gladly give it such. My wife and I will definitely be back! read more

Word on the Street catered my Son's wedding 9-24-17. Thank you so much Eric for bringing your delicious food all the way up to a remote venue in Prospect. The food was outstanding! An elaborate selection of tacos & tasty sides. Something for everyone! The truck added to the awesome woodsy outdoor Southern Oregon setting with spectacular views of Lost Creek Lake. Eric was absolutely slammed, but stayed calm, cool and collected while continuously turning out the best tasting tacos I've ever had!!! I had the grilled Ahi taco with side of roasted brussel sprouts, quinoa & black beans...one word: YUM! And healthy! Anyone who is planning a wedding and is looking for catering, definitely consider this cool chef who prepares crazy good food! Also check him out at his everyday location on Riverside! You won't be disappointed!! read more

WOTS is gourmet seafood tacos. The owner is a trained chef who was previously at Standing Stone Brewery in Ashland. He uses all different types of seafood and really has a tasty touch. The menu rotates based upon availability so it's tricky to recommend a particular Taco. He does have some sides also. He makes deep fried Brussels Sprouts with an aoli. The dish is bomb! Check it out. The word on the street is that it's delicious! read more

Word on the Street food truck, adorned with a beautiful mermaid motif, is easily dishing out some of the best fish tacos in the Rogue Valley. Owned and operated by Eric Bell, the former chef at Ashland's Standing Stone Brewing Company, Word on the Street features an extensive menu with a focus on sustainable seafood. We'd heard many good things about the tacos here and eagerly stopped by while in downtown Medford. I opted for a mahi taco and a sockeye salmon taco, while my husband went with a seared ahi taco and Maine lobster + Oregon shrimp taco. Not only was the food absolutely beautiful in presentation, the flavors were robust in all the best ways. The portions of fish are extremely generous and the care that goes into the food being prepared is obvious. I cannot wait to return, to try some of the other tacos offered. Notably the tempura shrimp, miso salmon, vegan tempeh-mushroom! Word on the Street can be found Wednesday through Saturday in Medford and also on Tuesdays at the Ashland Farmers Market. read more

My favorite Food Truck in the Rogue Valley. The Ahi Tacos, Coconut Shrimp Tacos, And Porterhouse Tacos are my top choices, but don't stop there. The menu is extensive and everything I've tried has been excellent. You simply can't make a bad choice. The chef is a true foodie and when he gets a break, he loves taking about great food from around the world. His appreciation of fine flavors is reflected in the ingredients that he chooses for each dish. On many Wednesdays, he serves at Flywheel Bicycle Solutions in Talent, OR. Whenever I see Word on the Street, I smile - and salivate! read more

Eric is the head chef at Word on the Street. He is knowledgeable about his product and its origins. Eric recommended the Steelhead which was delightful. The Steelhead had a lovely composition and was seasoned with just enough spice to excite the palate. I loved its pairing with the purple cabbage and corn tortilla. The presentation is beautiful. Eric also recommended the sparkling Topo Chico from Monterey, Mexico. The mineral content of the Topo Chico was refreshing and hydrating; especially on a hot summer day. The Topo Chico a must have! I love the graphic design of the truck, it's absolutely stunning. All in all, great truck- good vibes- and awesome food! read more

Yummy! The blending of flavors is outstanding. I try and hunt the truck down when I'm in town.

Creative and perfected tacos! They were at the farmers market and sounded the best. Eric and his staff were conversive and happy to explain or give suggestions. I ended up getting Jungle Love. It's a plantain taco. It was full of flavor and fresh, crisp ingredients. I would recommend everyone try it at least once! read more

Hands down some of the best tacos in Southern Oregon. A plethora of different seafood options, Not to mention the incredible Korean kimchi tacos and don't get me started on the homemade patas with Habanero aoili! I'm actually disappointed this was the 1st time I tried word on the street because I would have been going there for years had I known sooner. High quality superior ingredients made fresh and with pride. I highly recommend you try the coconut thai shrimp tacos and the Korean barbecue tacos! read more

Popped by after work & had a hankering for seafood. Eric, who runs the food truck, always has something amazing up his sleeve & today was no exception! The calamari taco- for $7- is quite large compared to most of the other tacos he sells, making it a decent bang for the buck! The calamari itself packs a punch, both in flavor & quantity, has a nice crunch overall, & goes surprisingly well with a light ring of ketchup (acts similar to cocktail sauce- a little sweet/acid with the savory salt). The Thai coconut shrimp- for $7- also packs a punch- but is a horse of a different color. Literally- the coconut is almost roasted its natural sweetness comes out the darker the color, it's graced with black sesame seeds, a generous amount of sweet chili sauce & has a gnarly crunch overall. Both are topped with his signature pickled onions, red cabbage & spicy aioli- definitely a crowd pleaser! Not too shabby for $14! Between the other food trucks, it takes a little longer time-wise, but that's ensuring everything's cooked to perfection & no doubt is some of the best tacos I've ever had in the valley! read more

Omgoodness, I tell you that you've never had a fish taco until eating one from Word on the Street. The quality is fresh, the flavors are delicious and the presentation is beautiful.

Ok... so I feel pretty bad about this rating but I will explain why i feel this the food deserves it. I almost gave a two star but because the owner is nice, the idea and concept is on point and the food is my only problem I bumped it up. I was really excited to try this truck. I'm a huge Mariscos fan and the tacos looked pretty good here. I tried the Pulpo and the Salmon taco. First complaint: Over seasoned. The salmon was seasoned in a very salty/cumin seasoning mix that just stripped the flavor from the fish. Second complaint: The pulpo was way overcooked and made for a rubber taco. I ended up throwing the taco away cause it was inedible. Also the taco seemed like it contained the same ingredients as the salmon taco so the only difference was the protein which in my eyes lacks some creativity. Final complain: Price. I felt the price was matched with the quality of food. If I'm gonna pay $5 for a taco, it better be the best taco ever. Coming from San Diego and being spoiled with Mariscos food trucks, I'm used to paying $1 for the best fish taco you can get. And $2.50 for an amazing marlin taco. Overall for me, this truck doesn't cut it in the flavor department. Sorry guys. I really wanted to like this truck. read more

Had my first experience with Word on the Street. Thai Peanut Chicken taco. Damn. It was immediately one of the Top 10 favorite foods I've ever had in my life!

I ordered the coconut shrimp taco at the suggestion of the gentleman working there because I do not like spicy food. He said it was not spicy.
