One of the best breakfast sandwich we ever had, egg brisket jalapeño crema avacado on ciabatta bread. Was yummy. The meat was juicy and the sandwich was perfectly made. The service was excellent and even even though it's a food truck, they have seating outside in park style benches. They also offered ghost pepper sauce, which paired well with the sandwich. Great ambiance, maybe better to try this place than waiting an hour for snow city Café next-door
The only negative of El Green-Go's is that they ain't open all year! This is one of Anchorage's absolute summer gems. I often call ahead and then drive over from work to indulge in one of these girthy burritos for lunch. They are the perfect mix of sweet and smoke and spice and savory. My go-to is a brisket breakfast burrito. Yes, they are ala carte and don't come with the usual frills (chips, beans, rice, etc.) but...they really don't need that stuff. I'd much rather have a better burrito than have an inferior one that "comes with chips". So glad they are back, already sad for when they go into hibernation again :(
Still delicious. Still reasonably priced. Still amazingly nice people. The end. Where oh where is their year round brick and motor store?! $11 for two tacos with a side of chips. Also got a Mexican coke. Delicious!! This time I got pork and it was very good.
A little food caboose in the heart of downtown. When you pull up you can usually smell the smoker preparing the meat to be grilled to order. The staff are bubbly and jovial. I've never had a bad interaction. To date I have never ordered anything different per se. I get the trifecta tacos with chicken, pork, and halibut (sometimes salmon) with the chefs choice of toppings. My favorite is the tacos with the watermelon chunks on the top. The sweet combined with the savory meat flavors has always been a hit. El Green Go's is synonymous with taco heaven. The portions are generous and visually appealing. One of these days when I have no other plans I will try to put away one of their burritos. Make sure to try their salsa as well!
Been waiting many summers to try this place and it slaps!! Salmon in the burrito was perfect- cooked well and had great flavor. This burrito is hefty. Guacamole was fresh and on point. The best part is they are so accommodating they don't have on the menu keto tacos (cheese shell) and were still able to make them on request! Busy stand and not surprised since the food is very good- great prices also. Great vibe little outdoor seating area with lots of well fed customers.
This little taco truck was in the downtown area and we stopped in to get tacos on our way to the airport. Although it was good, I did not give it five stars because they it's also was not warm and it was a little meh for us from TX. The girls running the joint were very fast and professional and did a wonderful job! The tables outside were clean and the little area to enclose it from the parking lot was a bonus. One downside is that you do have to pay to park but I guess that's just part of what you live with when you host a venue in a downtown area.
We LOVE this food truck! We aren't from Alaska, but ever since we tried El Green-Go's Tacos two years ago, we've been dreaming of coming back. After two long years of waiting, we finally had the chance to enjoy it again, and it was well worth it! The brisket is still phenomenal! Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! The seasoning is great too. I got the Mexi plate which isn't your traditional Mexican food. They've added their own creative flair to the tacos and their menu, but it works perfectly! The watermelon with brisket tacos is our favorite and it is surprisingly a good combination. It is refreshing and savory at the same time. We were also lucky enough to meet Tyler while he was checking on the smoked brisket. Such a friendly guy! He shared that they started with a small smoker and now have a bigger one to handle demand. It's great to see their growth, and you can really see the passion for what they do. If you're in the area, don't miss out. I highly recommend this spot, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!
I first ate here about 3 years ago on my first visit to Anchorage. We were doing the tourist thing when I saw smoke coming out of a stack followed by the smell of brisket in the air. Needless to say I had to eat here and it left an impression on me then. A couple days ago, we were back. The smoker was going and the briskets were cooking. We ordered 2 jarritos, 1 order of brisket southern tacos, 1 order of chicken street tacos, fish tacos in Green-Go style (1 halibut and 1 salmon) , and a brisket mexi plate. Tacos were as memorable as the first time as we practically inhaled all our food. Watermelon on anything should be a thing as this is a stroke of genius to me. Servers are always friendly and the staff is very helpful. Seating is somewhat limited as they have a couple tables for 2 and several large picnic tables. All outdoor seating. When in Anchorage, we will be back for this again!
The burrito was pretty good overall, flavorful and filling. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the smoked taste, but if that's something you enjoy, you'd probably love it! Picnic tables and seating if you're looking to eat there! Good little spot downtown.
This was a fantastic meal, one that would stand up to review anywhere, and I am very glad we ate here. I ordered a mexi plate with pan-seared halibut and green chile sauce, and a side of guacamole for the chips. My husband had a burrito with pulled pork (contains corn salsa, black beans, brown rice, etc), which also came with chips so he shared my (really good, housemade) guacamole and had a Mexican Coca Cola (the kind with real sugar). The people at the counter were especially kind and knowledgeable and fun to talk to. The stand was clean and well maintained. They have covered picnic tables out front (although we took it to go and ate at a nearby park). Experience was highly enjoyable and we will eat here again. Portion sizes gave us enough for 2 meals each. I think if tourists realize how well this place handles halibut and salmon they will be overrun with customers all summer, but it's well deserved.

This is a small cafe style restaurant with great food and variety of sauces too! A very clean place with great service and friendly staff. The serving size is great!! Tofu nachos: 8/10 (the tofu crumbles add great flavor to the beans, corn and avocados on the nachos) Tofu mexican plate: 7/10 Tofu burrito (wet + rainbow sauce): 7.5/10 Overall: perfect spot for vegan mexican food if you're in Anchorage!! Variety of vegan/vegetarian options and great food. read more

Metered parking available. A few picnic tables and other small tables all outside. Order at the window where the food is also delivered pretty fast. We both got the pork burritos, wet style. One was green chili and one was salsa verde. The pork was off the smoker and had nice crispy edges which I really enjoyed. I wouldn't call it the most Mexican burrito I've ever had but still quite tasty. A lot of food for the price in Alaska standards. Go check out out read more

Was in Anch for a week, and I've officially been here 4 times. Two super valuable things kept us coming back: the illustriously friendly vibes of the service and reliable deliciousness of the food. I sadly don't remember her name but someone was rocking the front: she was a major extravert, so friendly and had rockin eyeliner! Please praise her if you go. The food run-down: Burrito - get it wet! So filling and so flavorful Mexi-plate- deconstructed burrito vibes, get the chips and get dippin! Green-go tacos - yummy, great value Street tacos - best taco here, the watermelon is next level Any protein is good. I've had the pork, beef, and tofu. For tofu lovers (and non-lovers) this is the most flavorful Smokey tofu I've ever eaten. So comparable, yet different, in flavor to the other proteins. Highly recommend. There's only outdoor seating. We sat in the rain multiple times and it was WORTH IT. If that tells you anything. TLDR: I think I saw a sign on the place that said best taco place in AK, that sign tells no lies. read more

Food - unbelievable flavor, presentation, and ingredients. The chips are a bit of a let down. Everything was delicious. Due to weather (see below) it was a little hard to enjoy. I would definitely take this go next time. Service - its, well...ummm... it's good. Like, as a food truck, you do everything. They don't serve anything. They take orders and shout a name. Cleanliness - All of the seating is outside. On the particular day when I went, there was a lot of wind which made it both difficult to hold down the food, and a little cold. Not their fault. But it also meant things were blowing around a bit. The trash can is around the corner behind where you order. It's a little out of the way. Ambiance - if a delicious smelling smoker doesn't say it all, I'm not sure what will. Just wish they would maybe throw some brisket in there! Notables - all the sauces including the queso are vegan (I think I got that right) but they taste amazing. read more
If you order a burrito from El-Green-Go's make sure you are either 1) extremely hungry 2) sharing it with someone 3) taking half home for 4th meal while you bingewatch something on Netflix. It is a brobdignagian burrito. It's quite quite delicious, whether with pork or chicken (I've not tried the other options, so I can't speak for those) and I highly recommend the moreish Black Bean Coconut Queso - which is a "Get It Wet" option, and the one I always select. Not something you find in the average Mexi restaurant, and its existence is one of the reasons I consistently return to El-Green-Go's. Another favourite is the Mexi Plate, I love it, and it is more lightweight than the burrito - you can manage to eat it all by yourself without feeling violently Ill. Unlike the time i couldn't stop eating the burrito and was so stuffed I felt unwell the whole night. I have only myself to blame for this episode of unbridled greed. It has been most enjoyable eating in the small parking lot here, even during the pandemic. I'm dying to try some of the breakfast options. But it's one of my current favourites and I recommend them. read more

Found this gem during our trip to Anchorage. The food and service were awesome! We need this in Orange County California read more
I'm so glad we were walking around down town Anchorage. We had no idea what we were hungry for when we came across the El Green Go trailer. I needed something light to balance out the heavy meals I had been eating all week. The Street Tacos seemed like they would fit the bill. The friendly staff took our order and only a few short minutes later I had the food in hand. The tacos were AMAZING! The cheese and poblano sauce was smooth and savory. Every ingredient was fresh and bursting with flavor. I would go back in a heartbeat! Such a great dining experience! Thank you! read more
