    Wicked good huge burger with a lot going for it that you can't even see. There's pineapple in there too. Awww yeah!

    CASH ONLY. I don't often leave a review after my first visit some where, but WOW, these guys deserve it. I had burger that had a really yummy perfectly cooked beef patty, grilled hotdog, pineapple, ample cheese and veggies. I paid $5 for this thing and it was a monster! I don't speak Spanish (not that it ever held me back from trying new places), so I was super pleased that the guy that took my order spoke English. I didn't tip when I first paid and there was no feeling of resentment. I happily tipped their jar after eating that awesome burger. Asked about hours and he said that they're closed on Tuesday, and typically open till 1am on weekdays, and close around 2am or 3am on weekends depending how busy it is. He said weekdays around 6-7 the wait can be up to 40 minutes because they get pretty busy. I don't know how they don't have more reviews. Awesome prices for simple and hefty portions of truck food. Heck yeah!

    This taco truck is parked in the lot for the car wash, next to Sonic. It happens to be one of the few late night options in the area, open until 2am. It's also notable for having a satellite dish and a TV on the outside, for your entertainment. I got a sope with chorizo and suadero for 4 bucks. It sounded pricey when I ordered it, but it's rather large - more like a huarache I'd say. The flavor was a bit bland though, but easily remedied with the tomatillo salsa. Not bad for a 1am meal option. I'm not sure whether this truck is related to the other El Paisa on Congress. While the neon sign makes me think so, the quality here seems inferior.

    No, just no. $2 a taco. Salsa is 50 cents. Make the drive to riverside. More cilantro than meat

    The truck, menu, and entertainment

    This place is def so delicious! They are very nice and the food is great! The tortas are massive! My husband and i get full on half of a torta! Please help this local small hispanic business! The kids love the tacos al Pastor and i love that they have all the veggies and fruit (cilantro, cebolla, pineapple) only downfall that they do have is that they only accept cash! But its very much worth it. They moved to a new carwash over by nuckols crossing close to Teri rd! Best place! Never a dissapoinment eating here!

    We tried the bistek and al pastor and both were good. They have the small tacos, which I really love!

    Cauntos Tacos was recommended to me by my BF, and we decided to go all in with the "1 of Each Kind"…read moremenu option. Boy, am I glad we did this--it was the perfect way to try a little bit of everything and compare favorites side by side. Sauderos - One of my top choices. Great texture and flavor with a nice richness to it. That said, carnitas and longaniza still edged it out for me. Cachete - Almost felt like a milder cousin to the carnitas. I personally preferred the milkier flavor profile of the carnitas, but this was still delicious and incredibly satisfying. Buche - Softer and mushier than I would typically like in a meat filling, but the flavor itself was undeniably good. Texture held it back a bit for me. Carnitas - A classic milkiness that's genuinely hard to beat. Rich, comforting, and probably one of my favorite carnitas I've had so far. Definitely a standout. Longaniza - I've never really been a chorizo person... until now. This completely changed my mind. Deep red color, intensely meaty flavor, rich without being overwhelming--easily one of my favorites of the bunch. Champiñones - More flavorful and spicier than I expected. The mushrooms had a pleasantly chewy texture instead of turning mushy, which I appreciated a lot. Great mushroom flavor overall. Revuelta - Not actually on the menu, but something we personally requested. Delicious combination of meats, though tasting everything back-to-back made this one come across a bit saltier. Still, the pairing worked really well and made for a satisfying bite. The sauces deserve a mention too. The green sauce packed noticeably more heat and leaned herbaceous, while the red sauce had a beautiful smokiness that completely won both my best friend and me over. Service was honestly one of the fastest and most efficient I've seen from a food truck. Everything moved quickly and smoothly despite the steady flow of people. My only real downside had nothing to do with the food itself--I hated standing outside at 8 PM dealing with bugs while eating, but that's more the nature of the setup than the fault of the truck. Overall, I was genuinely impressed by the meat quality and how distinct each taco felt from the next. Carnitas and longaniza were the clear winners for me, but there honestly wasn't a bad taco in the lineup.

    5 Stars - So Good, Worth the Hype…read more We finally tried Cuantos Tacos and wow... it absolutely lived up to the hype. Food: The tacos were incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can taste the quality right away. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and the tortillas tasted fresh and authentic. We tried a few different tacos and honestly didn't have a single miss. Simple menu, but done really, really well. Service: Service was friendly and efficient. Even with a line, things moved quickly and the staff were welcoming and patient. You can tell they know what they're doing and take pride in the food. Ambiance: It has that fun Austin food-truck vibe--casual, lively, and a little busy, but in a good way. It feels like one of those places locals love and keep coming back to. Overall: Easy five stars. Amazing tacos, great service, and a cool atmosphere. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to again and again.

    Tucked away in a building across from Popeye's, this charming little restaurant doesn't have a wide…read morevariety to choose from--but what they offer is pretty special and definitely worth a visit. I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato. Sat down and after a few seconds, chips & salsa was delivered. Then after a few minutes, the food came. Quick service for sure and the food, AMAZING. Anyone reading this, try this place out and if u like it, come back! Cuz we are for sure =D
