    Carne Asada Huarache
    Brisa P.

    So many food trucks in downtown Manor, we decided to start checking some out and noticed El Carnitas the other day and how busy it was, that's gotta be a good sign! We went on a Friday early evening-ish and it was pretty quiet. We realized that the there were other food trucks in the same property, the outdoor seating was covered, plenty of seating (which of course it's shared with the other Food Trucks I would imagine), and even turf grass! It was a humid day and we were getting bit by mosquitoes so decided to order to-go. I ordered a Carne Asada Huarache. The tortilla, beans, tasted great! The meat itself was good too, I wish it had a bit more flavor to it, and I would've probably preferred Queso Fresco over Melted Cheese. It was still a delicious bite! My husband and I shared an Horchata and that was tasty as well, huge portion! The service was great and we didn't wait long for our order (probably because there wasn't that many people when we were there). Plenty of parking too. I'd like to check other Mexican Food Trucks around and rank them all. So far this one is somewhere at the top of the list for sure!

    Such a great find so close to the house....Lots of delicious menu items to choose from (see attached photos)...Its a cool little truck with 3 other joints as well....plenty of covered seating....and the service was super friendly....the first thing we spotted was Birria, and not reading anything after that turned out to be a blessing. What we thought was going to be Birria tacos turned out to be a huge 32oz container of Birria with broth (Birria on a Plate)....5 corn tortillas, cilantro, onions and limes (on the side)...and we ordered TWO of these! The meat was tender, broth amazing...way more meat then 5 tortillas could handle...Both red and green sauce are very good, red being my favorite. Honestly we probably wouldn't order this if we knew what it was...But boy are we happy we did. Most definitely will be back to try other menu items.

    El Carnitas is a new food truck that offers a variety food such as tacos, menudo, and consomé. Their tacos are spot on and a definite must get! Make sure you come hungry :) Each day they announce the types of meat available on their Facebook and Instagram pages so be sure to keep an eye out if you want a specific taco or dish! FYI: Tuesdays are Taco Tuesdays and each taco is $2.50 each Each order of tacos comes with onions, cilantro, and lime. We ordered: Barbacoa de res tacos: Super flavorful and super juicy. Carnitas tacos Fried Quesadillas: Golden and crispy, served with a spicy red salsa Mexican coke Mandarin jarritos The owners are super friendly and are happy to answer any questions about the menu! They do offer breakfast tacos and breakfast plates too that I'm excited to try next time around. For anyone with a sweet tooth they also have their own homemade desserts such as choco flan! There's a variety of homemade salsas at the front and pickles jalapeños too if you want that extra kick! There's lots of seating available and you can park your car on the lot by the food truck.

    I've had the torta , lamb barbacoa tacos, quesadillas, horchata to the beans and rice. Everything so good, the sauce is real good too. The staff are beautiful so nice and want to make your experience to have you come back.

    Food was bad, customer service was awful. I was the only one there and it still took about 30 minutes to get my food. Not worth the wait.

    Al pastor tacos
    Silvia M.

    I found this place by chance and I'm so glad I tried out this little food truck because it's so good! The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and they're very quick! The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the first time I went I had a bad experience, waiting 40+ mins for the food and they were sold out of everything except asada and al pastor but I'm glad I gave it a second shot because they redeemed themselves. The al pastor meat is a little spicy but it's so flavorful! I've gone back at least 4 times and I've tried their asada, al pastor, barbacoa de res, barbacoa de borrego, and carnitas and none of them have disappointed. They easily have the best al pastor tacos I've had and their homemade corn tortillas are so good too! The gordita was smaller than I expected but it was still really great! I can't wait to go back again!

    So good
    Natalie V.

    This place is bomb! Tortillas are handmade, everything is made to order. Fresh veggies, nice staff. We ate the al pastor, carnitas and beef barbocoa. Everything had great flavor and the salsas didn't disappoint. We will definitely be back again for the authentic flavor. 10/10

    We found this little gem of a taco truck off the street…read more Has some of the best birria tacos and tortas i have ever had in my life. Nice little cozy spot with some picnic tables and umbrellas.Perfect for having food in the sun.Quick and the couple just got recently engaged.They are amazing.They make sure that your food is cooked to perfection. Some nice crispy cheese on top of your burrito. Also inside of your taco I would highly recommend anybody to stop here and make sure that you order the burrito, tortas. I can't say how much they really treated us like family when we got here surrounding the circumstances.Why we were here?They really made us feel at home with some nice, warm meals.And nice, refreshing drinks, one hundred percent recommend coming here!

At Murray & Lexington I noticed that El Bandido Suelto ( The Fugitive Bandit?) was opened. I made a slower than usual right turn up the back driveway of the commercial building to the left and then drove around right to their parking lot. Stepping out of my car, I saw the sign stand had a QR code and a small menu. There wasn't a line and a only a few people were waiting for their orders. I looked at the menu on the window and learned that the menu is limited. After looking it over, I ordered the Birria Vampiros. It took less than 5 minutes to get my order. I sat down at tine of the nice wooden bench table with blue umbrellas and unwrapped the bag. In front of my eyes were two fried eggs, underneath that was a juicy, tender lamb and a cheese concoction. All nestled in top of a freshly made corn tortilla. I found out it was still hot when I tried to pick it up. No matter, I moved a bit of the nestled tapa topping to let the steam escape. In the second attempt, success led to an amazing combination of crunch, cheese, tender pulled meat with diced onions, cilantro, lime and red salsa... Twilight Zone experience. I'm going to keep my eye on this Bandido and look forward to trying the rest of their amazing fare... but wait the consommé... That my friend, completed the whole meal. Go visit...

    I randomly came across this food truck as I was craving buche tacos and this was one of the few…read moreplaces that actually have that option of meat. It is a bit of a drive for me since it's in Elgin but very well worth it. They have a good variety of meats but my favorite is of course their buche. I initially came here for tacos but after having trying their buche quesadilla (sooo incredibly yummy!!!), I started getting that instead. For quesadillas you get an option of the size. I usually go with the large which they prepare with an 8" tortilla I believe. It usually fills me up. Outside of how delicious the food is, I love how they give you a side of grilled onions as part of the meal. I would put those into either the tacos or quesadilla for that extra flavor. Also, they provide 3 different sauces. This creamy green salsa sauce they have is soooo good. The food typically comes out fairly quick as well so that's also another plus.

    My wife and I had seen this truck when we were in the area for groceries. We were always passing by…read moreand decided to finally make a stop. It seemed to be two trucks combined, a lot of food options, it'll take you some time to look through the menus taped all over the trucks. There is some outdoor seating, but it was too hot during the day for us to have enjoyed our meal so we took our order to go. The young woman who took our order was very nice and kind in taking our order. I'm a big barbacoa fan so it's the first thing I looked for on the menu. I ordered a barbacoa torta with an horchata to drink. My picture might not make the torta look super appetizing, but it was GOOD. It's hard to find good barbacoa in Austin, but this one was what it should be--moist, tender with some of that "good grease." The bread was super soft and it was a good size for me. The horchata was a color we weren't used to seeing, but when we tried it we loved it! Super refreshing! We will definitely be making more stops here in the future to get our fixes. Would recommend checking it out!
