    Not the best pictures because I started eating in the car BUT LOOK at the FLAUTAS in a CUP! How could you NOT WANT TO?! Hubby and I decided to try out a new taco truck El Taco Guapo off of Douglas Ave today after we saw a post about them a couple weeks back. I am just disappointed that I did not try them out sooner!! We tried the Flautas that come four in a cup with everything pictured and they are worth the $7 that they charged! My Hubby devoured it! We also ordered the Asada, Pastor and Chorizo Tacos. Their tacos are $2-2.50/each. Which are worth it to me! Their Asada tacos were the best to me! I didn't try the Chorizo because that's all my Hubby. Can't wait to go back and try more!! Their sauces were all delicious that accompanied the tacos as well! They also listened to me when I asked for extra grilled onions. They have Gorditas, Tamales, Burritos, Tortas etc!! I'm glad that they opened up and can't wait to try their other offerings!! Check them out you guys! Great staff working and they were fast and everything was delicious!!

    YUM! Highly recommend. The steak street tacos were my fave and my toddler went crazy for the steak burrito. The flautas are so fun! Very crispy and sitting in a verde sauce, avocado, lettuce, and sour cream/crema on top. I'm not usually a verde person but theirs is soooo good. Man and woman working were very friendly and prices were extremely fair. Give these people your business!

    Delicious authentic Mexican food! We tried this taco truck because friends recommended it and it was so worth it! My boyfriend got the asada burrito and I got the chicken flautas. Both were delicious! The staff was really nice too. Try this place if you get the chance!

    First visit to this very cozy brick and mortar. Previous…read morereviews were food truck reviews. There is maybe enough seating for about 20 bodies in here. Here with a table top of 6. Lots of questions with our group and the young waitress is kind and helpful. She brings waters and then had to go through the list of drinks because they are not printed on anything. We got a Trio for the table. Trio is chips and salsa (mild and hot) queso and guacamole. The chips were thick and crunchy. When we ran low she filled us back up. We got our orders in. Quesa Birria Tacos for hubby and I to share. Only 3 Tacos but we knew we were going to share a light meal. I had not had them before. The aus just sauce for a taco blew my mind. I like Angus beef and dipping sauce. Who doesn't? They were really good. Everyone else enjoyed their meals. The kitchen here is smaller and when asked about a specialty item we were informed that the Ankeny location had it but the kitchen here couldn't accommodate. I want to come back and try more. I had the flame burger from the food truck years ago and I think I would do that again too.

The chips appeared homemade and were well-seasoned with a thick white queso (also a huge serving!). The quesa birria was flavorful but the meat was a bit on the dry side; I loved the dipping sauce. The street tacos were on the bland side but added flavor with the salsa and queso. Overall, it was a good meal but not stand out!

Already stuffed from a late lunch, the fiancé and I split the fried chick'n sandwich with mac & cheese (with added hot sauce, of course) and our tastebuds were blown away. Not only was the flavor on point, but so was the texture. Not even exaggerating, idc if you're a meat loving omni, you need to try the food if you ever come across this bus. Definitely hope to find the bus again when I'm in town again next year. Thanks for making the extra trip worth it!

They're clearly well loved by the community too because the line was fairly long. But regardless the team was friendly and helpful! I ordered the frisco melt, which was so good I did not have the chance to take a picture of it. The sandwich is toasted and crispy and paired with their lentil patty. Which was so well seasoned, I almost forgot what I was eating wasn't meat. I also had the mango ginger lemonade, the perfect drink for a nice summer day! From what my friends told me, their nachos and tacos were just as good! So it's fair to assume everything on their menu is a winner and you can't go wrong with whatever you order. My only trouble is that I don't get to see this truck downtown as often as I want to! Can't wait to see them again in the future.
