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

One of the best places for Mexican food in all of Vegas, hands down…read more The tortillas are hand made, thick, fluffy, and amazing. The tortillas are really what sets this place apart from everywhere else. Quality of food and speed is always consistant. Tons of flavor and one of the salsas they offer is SUPER SUPER spicy which is awesome to have at such an authentic Mexican food place. You'll have to park at weird angles, wait in line for a bit and either eat by your car or on a curb as there are no tables. The food is worth ALL of these minor inconveniences. Definitely underrated and a hidden gem. If it's your first time, try the mulitas. They're huge, super extra cheesy, made on their made-to-order thick tortillas and tons of flavor. I put this as my top 3 favorite taco places in all of Vegas by far. Check them out and treat yourself to truly amazing tacos!

Always a solid option for late night tacos at this food truck. You won't find cheap tacos here tho…read more- at this taco truck it's $4 per taco of the following m: chicken, buche, asada, el pastor and other options. A burrito comes with your choice of protein, cheese, onion, cilantro, and beans. The burritos are a good size. Not the biggest or smallest I've ever seen. It'll run you $11. They accept cash OR Zelle. No card payments available here. Quick and easy to order and food to be ready.

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 food here is amazing! The people working are polite. There are plenty of Mexican food…read morerestaurants in Vegas but their asada is top tier compared to any other place and the prices are beyond reasonable! Anything Asada for me! Anna at the food truck is the best!!!

Fork U Hawaiian Food Truck is definitely worth checking out! They came to my work today, and…read moreeverything was super delicious. The customer service was fantastic, with that warm, welcoming hospitality you hope for when trying Hawaiian food. I ordered the kalua pork lumpia and teri beef, and the teri beef absolutely stole the show! The beef was thinly sliced, the rice was cooked perfectly, and the mac salad was exactly what you want. They cook the beef on the flat top, caramelizing the teriyaki sauce right into the meat. Such a simple touch, but it made a huge difference! The kalua pork lumpia was also really good, although it was a little greasy. What really surprised me was the dipping sauce, which was a kaffir lime sambal sauce. It was spicy, tangy, and vinegary in the best way. I've never had anything quite like it, and it was the perfect match for the kalua pork. Between the delicious food, thoughtful preparation, and fantastic customer service, this food truck is absolutely worth trying. If Fork U is ever in your area or comes to your corporate office, definitely give them a try! You won't regret it!

I've never been to Fork U before, so it was my first time visiting while at the craft show! The first thing that stood out about Fork U food truck was the smell. If you've ever walked up to a food truck and immediately knew you made the right decision, this was one of those moments! The menu had several Hawaiian options, and everything coming out of the truck looked incredible! The food was fresh and flavorful. I really enjoyed the Loco Moco from the food truck. The team was great as well! They helped answer any questions we had on the menu. Food trucks can sometimes be hit or miss, but this definitely fell into the worth coming back for category! The portions were generous, and the food arrived hot! Delicious Hawaiian food, great portions, and flavors that kept me coming back for another bite!

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!

Last night we came over about 30 min before they closed there was other people not just us service…read morewas ok, but food was not we had a carne asada burrito cheese wasn't even melted that's how cold it was, meat tasted old and of course was cold, we also got a hot dog with everything and also was cold, bacon tasted old and was hard ‍ we were really disappointed we been coming here since they were at the llantera and when they were at the veterinary too we look forward to this food when we in the area I guess no price is taking anymore in food made at this place I was even worried I was gonna get sick in pic food looks ok but everything was cold and old
