Usually at the intersection of Market & 15th Streets in Harrisburg's Allison Hill section, next to O.D.'s place bar. It is worth noting that the truck may or may *not* be there, usually is there & open on weekends, but in the colder months you will not find it. Your best bet is to go on a saturday or sunday during lunchtime. We arrived 15 minutes before closing time. There was a lady who politely told us the choices. The only things they had left were the beef & pork tacos for 1.50 each. It was pretty tasty, the tortilla wraps were pretty large. They were filled to the brim with onions & cilantro. Sadly, we didnt get to try anything else today. Cash only, on street parking. Taco prices have held stead in the $2.00 range for the past few years.

I've had tacos from all over--from the East Coast as far north as New York City, midway in Virginia…read moreBeach, Virginia, and all the way south in Miami, Florida. I can't forget the Midwest, Southern Texas, and everywhere in between, like Austin. Now, the best tacos I've ever had in my life were at Lucy's in LA--but let's not talk about Los Angeles, even though I wish I were there with the palm trees and the ocean breeze, where I don't sneeze because of allergies! The second best I've ever had is at this Mexican spot right off Derry Street in Harrisburg, PA. As soon as you walk in the door, there's a beautiful yellow that automatically makes you feel like you're sitting in the countryside of a sweet Mexican village. Although I haven't been to Mexico yet, I can only imagine how it feels with the beautiful Aztec culture all around, the pictures, and, of course, those wonderful plants that tequila is made from displayed on the wall. When I order, I do it by numbers because I'm not fluent in Spanish yet, but hearing the staff speak Spanish makes me feel like I'm getting the real deal. I always get a Mexican soda or an imported drink so that every bite and sip teleports me right to where the food originated. Now, some people may shy away from this place because of the area it's in, but I guarantee you can call ahead to order or just sit inside. You won't have any problems--the food comes out fast, hot, and consistent every single time. I hope my review helps you pick where you want to eat next!

I ordered 5 tacos: 1 birria, because I'd never tried their version before and wanted to be safe; the other 4 were 2 carnitas and 2 asada. I also ordered a plate of rice and refried beans. The rice isn't your traditional yellow Mexican-style rice; at least, I've never had it like this ever before, and I eat lots of Mexican food. It had corn and pigeon peas in it but was still very delicious. The carnitas and steak tacos weren't my favorite--not bad at all, just not my favorite--but the birria was top-tier A1. Honestly, overall, every single thing was good and worth it. 25 bucks got me 5 tacos stuffed to the brim, a very generous serving of rice and refried beans, with a soda. And the service was great!

The waitress let me taste both the horchata and the Jamaica to see which one I'd prefer and we settled on one of each. Both delicious!!! My man and I both got the carne asada fries. I didn't see them on the menu, he just asked if it was an option and they said yes but it could have been something on the menu that I just over looked. The fries were DELICIOUS. They use the big seasoned steak cut fries and it was LOADED with protein had all the expected toppings and a good portion of cotija cheese which I love!! Will definitely be stopping in here on the regular.

Let me first say the portions are great and the woman working the window was very nice. Unfortunately, I just was not impressed by the overall flavor of the tacos. Maybe it's just me, but these were very different from other taco joints I have frequented. Locally and out of town. The Biiria tacos had a texture and flavor more like a pot roast, the Al Pastor were probably the best out the bunch, but still just OK in my opinion. The chicken had a strange spice in it, I can't put my finger on what it was, but I didn't particularly like it. I didn't try the fried pork tacos personally.

Unfortunately one of the Mexican restaurants in the area has closed down, and the most popular one was inexplicably not open (as least so said DoorDash), so I tried this one. Actually I visited this unassuming little place (think food truck fused into a building with a handful of equally unassuming indoor seating options) and the food wasn't bad, so I figured I'd try it today. It certainly beats Taco Bell! Actually it was pretty good. It was more of a 3.5 but until we can give 1/2 stars I rounded up to a 4 in honor of Cinco de Mayo! My favorite dish was the chicken tostada, followed surprisingly by the fish burrito. The chips were pretty nice. The "hot" sauce/salsa was disappointing because it was anything but hot - in fact more sweet than hot. I had a variety four pack of tacos but was a bit disappointed they were on soft tortilla shells when I hoped for hard shells. If there was an option it wasn't readily discernible. Lastly, the empanadas were solid but nothing special. This place is near Dickinson College and serves a vital role of food variety for the area. It's not special but it certainly is not a place to avoid. In fact, if you are in the area and craving Mexican, give it a try. It's more hit than miss and will leave you satisfied overall.

Standing in a taco shack parking lot…read moredreaming of warmer days when I'm sitting at one of their picnic tables pretending I'm on vacation instead of actively battling Central PA winter. Because when the craving for real tacos hits, logic and weather forecasts no longer matter. First things first -- parking is easy. Big stoned lot right at the shack. Love that for me. Second thing -- and this is important -- Little Mexico Tacos is CASH ONLY. I learned this at the counter, which triggered an immediate wallet excavation worthy of an archaeological dig. My goal: secure enough funds for a chorizo burrito and street corn in a cup. I found a $20 bill and decided to live dangerously. Plot twist #1: they were out of rice. Brief emotional damage. Apparently rice is a key player in many menu items, but I pivoted like a seasoned professional because when tacos call, you answer. Plot twist #2: my total came to $20.14. FOURTEEN CENTS OVER. I braced myself for the walk of shame, but the guy at the counter waved it off like the legend he is. Sir, if you're reading this, I hope your pillow is always cool and your tacos are always perfect. Also elite-level move: at freezing temperatures, he told me to wait in my car and he'd holler when my food was ready. That's customer service with survival instincts. Let's set expectations: there is no inside here. None. Zero. This is an open-air taco shack. If the weather isn't nice, you're eating elsewhere... or embracing your inner feral raccoon and demolishing tacos in your car. Now for the important part -- THE FOOD. Street Corn (mild -- because I specifically requested "no spicy chaos"): Creamy. Tangy. Fully sauced. Not bland, not overpowering -- just perfectly balanced. Also served in a cup instead of on the cob, which means maximum efficiency and zero mess - WINNING! Chorizo Burrito: Absolute unit. Packed with just-the-right-level-of-spice chorizo, huge portion size, and -- surprise MVP moment -- the tortilla was lightly crisped instead of being a sad floppy wrap straight out of a bag. Half of this thing could feed a small village. I finished every bite of the meat like it was my job. Bonus green sauce situation included (avocado? wizardry?) that I fully expected to melt my face off -- but instead it was mellow and delicious and paired perfectly with the chorizo. Final verdict: Little Mexico Tacos is the real deal. No-frills setup, big flavors, generous portions, kind humans, and the exact kind of taco shack energy that makes you feel like you've unlocked a local secret. I will absolutely be back when the weather warms up so I can sit outside like a civilized human instead of a burrito-powered winter gremlin.
