    Al Pastor & Chicken Adobo
    Emily Y.

    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.

    Excellent carnitas and barbacoa
    Randy P.

    Very friendly staff. Food comes out fast. Superb carnitas and barbacoa. Al pastor a notch down. Love the unlimited self serve veggies!

    In the parking lot, this is the front of it. "Voted one of the 100 best taquerias in America" in 2022!

    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!

    Breakfast Tacos (4) w/ Luis' mix (chorizo, bacon, Polish sausage), red (mild) and green (spicy) sauces, and self-serve fixings on top!

    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).

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Quesadilla beff

    What a great food experience! Burritos are enough to share. Had the mix burrito. And the beef quesadilla. Staff very friendly!

The food was so delicious and fresh. Everything from the rice to the hummus to the fresh vegetables made our tummies feel so happy and good. The employee was super friendly and helpful and made sure to keep the menu updated with what was sold out and made good recommendations. It was windy and unfortunately he had to deal with it blowing in his face. This is gonna be a regular stop for us, I'm sure. The Yalla Feast is something were already planning to get when all 4 of us (with the kids) are gonna eat.

I got the chicken shawarma bowl and the shawarma fries to try and have for lunch the next day. My friend got the loaded hummus plate and the dessert. The dessert was like baklava but with chocolate drizzle and cinnamon powder, not super sweet at all, more of a tang taste for sure. The shawarma was amazing and everything was super filling. The fries will probably be my new guilty pleasure! The bowl was also amazing and less of a guilt because there's plenty of veggies and fiber. The sauces they use are also just chefs kiss. The hummus was also incredible, you can tell they make it in house and it's super authentic. As a middle eastern it's not easy to come by good food that hits the spot like home does, so thank you Yalla Shawarma for providing amazing comfort food! The service was also great, we ordered online and the food was ready on time. Can't wait to be back!

The owner/server made us feel like we were guests in their home rather than just customers in a restaurant. Genuine, warm, and welcoming -- the kind of hospitality that instantly makes your night better. Now the food... WOW. The prickly pear margarita deserves its own paragraph. It was easily one of the best margaritas I've ever had -- perfectly balanced, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. If you come here and don't order one, you're doing it wrong. What I loved most is that this place is equally amazing for vegetarians AND meat eaters. That's rare. * The squash taco was absolutely incredible -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and proof that vegetarian dishes can be just as exciting as anything with meat. * Meanwhile, the menu is also a meat-lover's paradise with tons of taco options and traditional Mexican dishes that pack huge flavor. Everything tasted fresh, bold, and made with care. You can tell there's real pride behind the food here. Between the amazing tacos, the unforgettable margaritas, and the genuinely kind service, this was one of those meals you keep thinking about long after you leave. 10/10 -- would go back every time I'm in Santa Fe. !!!!!!

Beans on the side were topped with sour cream which actually was great! Also shrimp/fish tacos were delishh. Really good flavor and freshness. Would have been amazing to have some crispy taco options but soft was nice. Rice was the worst part of the whole experience! Soooo bland. Worst I've had in a long time for real! Thankfully the dishes have a lot of sauce to soak it up with. The bathrooms were cute but the men's bathroom is a one person and does not lock... anyways!
