The best stop on our road trip from Taos and worth the trek out of Santa Fe for these amazing tacos. Owners won recognition from James Beard in 2024 for their incredible tacos. They have breakfast and lunch, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and dogs/sausage. Recommend going the taco route so you can try their incredible meats and fixings. My top favorite was their picadillo and pork Adobada. Do not miss their pico, cilantro/cabbage, pickled onions, and green/red salsas. Also grilled jalapeños were a nice touch but WARNING they are spicy. All drenched with a generously large cup of horchata, you'll be in heaven. They have outdoor picnic tables to dine there, limited parking next to their food truck. Pro tip: order ahead bc everything is made to order and they can get busy!! These are some of the best tacos I've ever had, top remarks and recommendations. Each item is thoughtfully made and the service couldn't be better and more friendly.
Worth all the praise! We had a variety of tacos and the al pastor burrito. Our favorite tacos were the carnitas and the veggie. The veggie was so good with a mix of peppers, corn, cheese. The next day we went back and got a breakfast burrito and added carnitas. It was huge! If I went back, I would ask for no egg, less carnitas, more potato and beans. Their creamy green salsa is pretty special too. Each offering shines with care and therein lies the magic of this place.
Really good tacos. I got al pastor and chicken adobo. Personally, I liked the adobo better. A bit of miscommunication led to my tacos ending up with no toppings, but they're real good on their own and I got the sauces at least.
Very friendly staff. Food comes out fast. Superb carnitas and barbacoa. Al pastor a notch down. Love the unlimited self serve veggies!
This place is legit. I ordered a breakfast burrito with chorizo, and let me tell you, it was hands down the best burrito I've had in a long time. Every bite was packed with perfectly cooked eggs, flavorful chorizo, and just the right amount of spice. I've been a loyal fan of spots like Burrito Company and Burrito Spot for a quick grab, but El Chile Toreado has officially stolen the crown. This is my new go-to spot. On my next visit, I ventured into their secret menu and tried the deshebrada. O-M-G. If you don't know what that is, let me break it down: slow-cooked, tender, shredded beef with a rich and savory flavor that's perfectly balanced by their chile. It's everything you didn't know you needed in a burrito. Talk about food heaven. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Whether you're a local or just passing through Santa Fe, El Chile Toreado is the real deal. Pro tip: Go early--they can get busy, and for good reason. Don't sleep on this spot!
Highly-rated food truck I had to check out, and it didn't disappoint! Clean and welcoming, The lovely server was all smiles! I enjoyed the breakfast tacos (4) with Luis' mix (chorizo, bacon, Polish sausage), with a red (mild) and green (spicy) sauce on the side, and fresh veggies at the stand. There are shaded tables behind the stand. This was a bit messy to eat as I loaded it up; I needed some extra napkins. A spoon would have been helpful. Vehicle parking was plentiful along the street. RECOMMEND. 1.1 miles, I walked in the morning for 25 minutes from Santa Fe Plaza (bring a hat and sunscreen), feeling safe along Cerrillos road. There is a sidewalk and various businesses along the way (interior design firms, architects), but there were also some quiet/lonely stretches. I discovered Saveur Bistro (which I also visited), and Whole Foods (I had to ask for the code to use the public toilet because I didn't make a purchase).
This food truck was a random find on Google while on our way to Flagstaff, AZ. Only about 5 min off the interstate, I knew we were bound to find a taco truck in Santa Fe & this place was so delicious! I got the veggie burrito / added bacon, but I could've went without the beans; they are whole beans not refried. Must be a texture thing for me. BF got the Luis Mix and loved it too! They do offer to add salsa inside the burrito or on the side... highly recommend to just add inside the burrito if you're on the road like us! Thanks for the friendly service and suggestions
A great food truck with outdoor tables and easy parking -- though it wasn't busy when we were there, we understand that lines can get long and that calling ahead to order is a wise move. We had tacos: carnitas and carne asada. The carne asada was fine, but not special (small pieces almost like hamburger bits). The Carnitas was absolutely delicious. The tacos came with a choice of salsas (we got both red and green, both good), as well as access to their condiments station which had a good variety of things to add. What we really liked is the atmosphere and service -- the patrons were happily talking among each other as they waited, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the tacos came out quickly - so quickly that the pager they gave us to tell us when it would be ready was really unnecessary. Next time we're in town, we'll be going back. One minor nit: there was an unexplained charge of $0.81 on a $35 order. Perhaps a credit card fee, perhaps something else. I'm not a fan of credit card fees, and certainly not a fan of charges that are not detailed on a receipt.
The BEST al pastor tacos I've ever eaten...hands down!! Our group of 8 stopped by for lunch and was to find something that we all could eat...and that we all loved! The people who work here are simply some of the nicest you will find anywhere! They did not get overwhelmed and was very accommodating. There were tables in which you can sit and eat right behind the food truck. Great place to sit on a beautiful day! Highly recommend this food truck...you cannot go wrong with anything you order!
Traveling through Santa Fe down to southeastern New Mexico, I had a strong craving for yet another breakfast burrito. Lol. I pulled over like a good Yelper & driver... the trusty app pointed me to this glorious food trailer called El Chile Toreado. Right away I noticed how neat and clean everything was... then the beautiful mural nearby. The nice lady at the register was probably shocked as hell when I ordered two burritos. Damn, I thought, when I received my order. I was shocked as hell too because these hefty bubbas are not for the faint of heart! Combined my "Luis's mix" and chorizo burritos came out to $22. "Do you want salsa on the side?" has to be the stupidest question ever... okay, it's not, but YES! Try their salsas. They are not too spicy. Just a mild kick to meet the wonderful flavors of the burritos. When ordering, they accept card or cash. You may be given a buzzer to notifiy you when it's ready. There is free street and lot parking nearby. Limited picnic table seating is also there behind the trailer. This is the real deal, folks. I'd come back in a heartbeat. If I didn't eat it right away, I'd stick it in the cooler like I did my second burrito. The only leftovers are mine!
I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet as it's one of my favorite spots in Santa Fe and is always solid. Breakfast burritos are delicious and huge. Tacos are amazing. A true staple. The service is always great. Your food is made to order, they give you a little buzzer that goes off when it's done. There are a few outside tables to eat at. Parking spaces are limited, so you may have to park in the street or in the parking lot across the road.

Monstrous breakfast burrito that was worth the hype. I got the Luis mix and enjoyed every bite. They do not skimp. Very flavorful. You could probably walk here from the farmer's market location near the railyard. Locals were driving up constantly to get food while I ate mine. read more
OH. MY. LORD. This place is DELICIOUS!! Fresh food, great flavor, amazing sauces!! Ladies are nice! It's a food truck and they keep the area clean around it!! GO DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and get their breakfast chorizo burrito with green chile and green sauce!!!! FIVE STARS read more

DELICIOUS. This food truck blew us away. It is a fairly cheap meal while being very satisfying. The Carnitas and Al Pastor were our favorite. The Carnitas has a beautiful crunch packed with lots of flavor. Absolutely worth multiple stops here. This is our favorite tacos in town. read more

What a great food experience! Burritos are enough to share. Had the mix burrito. And the beef quesadilla. Staff very friendly! read more
A must try when in Santa Fe! The bacon breakfast tacos were incredible. So much flavor. My friend said her chorizo breakfast tacos were amazing. The vegan amongst us enjoyed the veggie burrito (sans cheese). Be sure to ask for a side of red sauce and baggie for all the pickled peppers and veggies. Friendly service, casual food truck atmosphere. Perfect for grab and go. read more

what better fuel can you ask for, for your trip enjoying santa fe's natural beauty and wonder, than a huge, spicy breakfast burrito with delicious caramelized veggies and loaded with potatoes and egg? this is it. service was fast and friendly and efficient with little buzzers for when your order is ready. simple and easy to find. no overhang for when it's raining, but you're not waiting long. thanks for the delicious food! read more

I read so many great reviews of this food truck so I made a special trip there for lunch during my stay. I'm so glad I did. These tacos have unique flavors and they're made with high quality ingredients. I particularly like the buche (pork stomach) because it's not something you will usually find on the menu elsewhere. The carne arsada is another favorite of mine - the steak is so juicy and I love the unique flavor and seasoning. These tacos are much better than the other meal we had in a restaurant. If you are up for great food, this is a must-stop! It won't let you down and you might be wonderfully surprised! read more

Very good food. Had the carne asada burrito. They didn't use a traditional tortilla, but was more like frybread, and it was really good. Meat could have used a bit more flavor but still good, and the hot sauces and pico were excellent. Mom had the pollo tacos and she enjoyed them. If you like chips with your Mexican food, be sure to bring some with you as they didn't have any. All in all, a really good experience and I would visit again! read more

Got the Luis Mix breakfast burrito and tacos--phenomenal. So flavorful, so good, so filling. Portions are really big (sadly couldn't finish it all and wish I had a larger stomach). Customer service was great. Overall great experience and wish I could bring it home to AL with me! read more

This place serves fantastic carrying around food, such as burritos, tacos, even a hotdog option. I had the Buche burrito, christmas style, and others in my party had the Carnitas burrito. Hotdog for the little one. All of the meat was cooked perfectly, with that nice light crunch to the exterior of the carnitas and the buche was so tender, with a rich green sauce to go with it. Rice and beans inside the burrito makes it a hearty meal. The service was friendly, and all out of a humble food truck, with everything you need. Sort of feels like a little dose of New Mexico, all the way around. Bravo. read more

Does anyone know if the phone number for them has changed? I called to order and they didn't pick up. Unsure if it's busy or if the number has changed. Thx!
