    Birria, al pastor, lengua and cabeza
    tim n.

    I stumbled across this taco trailer while I was getting my truck serviced, it's across the parking lot from the Reliable Auto Service on north rancho, and I'm glad I did! It's a small operation, a couple of folding tables and chairs under a tailgating tent, and bottled Mexican coke and some sodas in a cooler, but they churn out some fantastic tacos. They have a diverse menu with plenty of options, from the standard street taco to tortas and birria. You can pick which meet you want for whichever entree and they come standard with some deliciously spicy red and green salsa. I ordered a birria and 3 tacos (al pastor, lengua and cabeza). The meet is cooked well, tender and juicy, and the seasoning is tasty enough to eat without and additional salsa. The tacos come standard with chopped onion and cilantro, so if you don't want the topping then tell the cashier. There are only two people working the trailer, they were very friendly and speak both Spanish and English. They take all major credit cards, debit and cash. There is very limited seating, so that is definitely a factor. Several customers got their orders to go which seems like good idea if you have a group of people. I highly recommend you stopping by and try their food, I know that I would drive out of my way if I was in the area just eat eat there again!

    Been literally dying to try the birria here and i finally got my chance! Every time i came here in the past they were closed. I ordered 2 birria just to try and i mist say it wasn't disappointing but not taste bud spectacular. A tad under seasoned but still well put together. Green and red sauce was bomb. Sisnt try the birria dip bc i was in the car and it was greasy enough. But the meat had good flavor just needed a little salt and extra onions and cilantro. I cant wait to come back (after my diet lol). Looking forward to gaining weight with you guys lol

    Stop by to get my car wash!! Was hungry so I tried this taco stand.. The tacos are fresh and very tasty . I love the fresh homemade corn tortillas.. The service was fast very friendly.. very good tacos

    Hands down some of the best tacos in Vegas come from this taco truck. I've had a wide variety of meat from asada to al pastor and even lengua-- all equally delicious. The tortillas and sopes are made from scratch and they are super soft. I've also had the birria which was super good. I recommend coming here for some authentic Mexican street food. It's not Tex-Mex but REAL Mexican food. You won't regret it!

    Absolutely delicious! I've been wanting to try their tacos and finally got the chance. We ordered 3 each of the carne asada, pastor and burria tacos with consumé. The service was fast and they were so nice. We will be making this a regular taco stop!

    Service was quick and friendly. Tacos and burrito were ok; lacking more flavor. Will try them again if I'm in the area.

    Got the tacos de Birria and they are delicious

    I love this taco truck! It's my go to taco truck! They have the best in my opinion taco Tuesday…read morespecial. I take advantage of it almost weekly! And during the other days, I still eat their tacos I think this is a really good truck. I would highly suggest coming here to get some tacos. They have really good Pollo tacos. Also, I love their pollo asada tacos the best. I think the flavor and moistness is hands down the best I've had. My boyfriend loves their Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos. They have a large assortment of meats to choose from, lingua, asada, birria, abodado, carnitas. More than just a taco truck, they have birria ramen, tortas, carne asada fries. I have not tried any of those yet. During the day you'll find lovely ladies that are helping you at night and I find that it's usually the same guys helping you every night. All the staff that I've seen has been very friendly and very welcoming and eager to assist. It's just a taco truck right next to the Arco gas station. Can't miss it, big red truck. Sometimes there is a wait especially if you come during peak hours, but usually they can get your order in and out within about 10 minutes. They do have a rewards club that you can join. It's 1 point for every seven dollars that you spend. And then sometimes you'll also get text specials and freebies which I enjoy. I think that the food here has a lot of value and it's good portions. Don't miss out on the taco Tuesday special which has two dollar tacos. That way you get to try a few different kinds of tacos.

    The owner of Lash Siesta recommended that I try Fork U. I'm going to make this review short and…read moresweet. Fork U Food Truck food was fresh, affordable, delicious and addicting. I could eat their Kalbi Ribs everyday. They are thick and juicy with lots of flavor. Be careful while chewing them because the juice makes it way out the corner of your mouth.. No joke. I'll definitely be back

    Killing time during car service with a Yelp review? Fork yeah!…read more Fork U Food Truck is a Hawaiian food spot on wheels that has been around Vegas for about a year now. They appear to be helmed by a former pastry chef of Pinkbox Doughnuts. I happened to see the truck around lunch time at my local car dealership and decided to give them a try. Poke Nachos ($13.50) sounded the most fun of anything on their menu, and probably are the most fun too. Crispy fried wontons, roughly cubed tuna, two sauces, and a surprisingly wide variety of various toppings make every bite a little different but just as onolicious. The grape tomatoes, edamame, and seaweed salad are not items I've seen in this exact dish before, but they all work. It's a surprisingly large portion, but make sure to eat about teo chips per tuna chunk. Although it's boxed and bagged for takeout, it's much better enjoyed ASAP or else the wonton chips can get soggy. No credit card fee appeared on my receipt. They text you when your order is ready, but I met the cashier halfway as she was actually going to walk into the building to find me. I'm not really sure if anything I saw is considered part of their "rotating secret menu" and I wasn't in a hurry to ask since it was my first time trying them. Food trucks are a great option, and Fork U

    I used to come grab tacos from Sinaloa Tacos back when they were the only food truck on the corner…read moreof Decatur and Lake Mead, so it's been cool seeing how popular they've gotten over the years. Yelp doesn't seem to have the correct address but they're basically on the same corner as Mi Pueblo Taco Shop (1920 N Decatur Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89108). My coworker recently brought one of their carne asada burritos to work for our lunch and after one bite, I was hooked! I ended up coming back here on my day off just to get one for myself. I also tried their pastor burrito and it did not disappoint! The burritos are huge, flavorful and packed with well-seasoned meat. The salsa options gave it the perfect extra kick. I also grabbed a Mexican Coke cuz you just have to at this point. LOL! Definitely one of those local spots that keeps you coming back. Simple, delicious and always hits the spot! Also, FYI : Yelp has their hours wrong. The lady who took my order said they're open from 11AM to 11PM, not until 1AM. Learned that the hard way when I showed up around midnight one night and they were already closed. Haha!

    When Yelp had reported Sinaloa Tacos CLOSED, I was bummed and thought that the pandemic had played…read morea part in closing them down, as I've been a long time supporter even holding a few taco crawl UYEs back on the day. Well, just last week, we decided to take a drive along N Decatur to seek out more possible hidden gems, and to our disbelief coming up on Lake Mead, we see Sinaloa Tacos surrounded by a white fence, lights are on, and locals are getting their taco fix, and all this time we thought they were closed!? We pull into the parking lot and get our fix of what they're known for Tacos de Cabeza and Tacos de Lengua, and one of the few street vendors that crank out fresh tortillas on the spot. Although prices have slightly increased (as with all other businesses) the taste is just like we remember! MAHALO Yelp HQ for reversing their status...ALOHA!!!!
