Had some craving for some quesabirrias tacos last night so I decided to hit one of my favorite food spot: El Tacontento and boy did they not disappoint. Tacos were on point as always. Freshly made corn tortillas, meat that's seasoned and perfectly tender then add the cheese snd grill it THEN dip it in the consume... perfection! I got their special of three quesabirrias and a chorizo taco and a drink. Thiis not a fast food place, all orders are made fresh so be prepared to wait 10 mins even for a simple order like 3 tacos! read more

Today was our 1 year anniversary and we spent some time eating at the best taco truck in Vegas! The birra tacos and the asada street tacos were not only amazing but the customer service was awesome too. If you want some authentic tacos with great flavor, go grab some for a great price. It was a great ending to the perfect date with my wife. read more

I really love the food at this place because it just tastes so fresh and delicious. It really goes to show you the owner has a passion for the food he is serving which is authentic Mexican food here in Vegas. Definitely would recommend checking out this hidden gem in vegas! read more

Food and service are top notch. I was craving some authentic Mexican food and so glad we made a stop. Area was a little sketchy but worth it. The cashier and cook were both pleasant and helpful. I didn't get pics this time but will be back for sure! We tried a Huarache and a burrito, both were really tasty and stuffed. The sauce selection included a spicy option as well as mild, there was also a pico de gallo for those scared of any heat. read more

I have been coming to this place for years maybe 8 or 9 years never new the name just the taste. The best street tacos around!! And the owner is pretty cool always good when I come. You should check it out!! James. read more

This location is at the corner of the gas station. I actually pulled into the gas station to recheck my map app. and then saw the food truck. I bought three tacos to go. Two asada and a soft birria taco. The red sauce has an adobo smoky taste to it and the green sauce was mild. The red sauce was a nice change to your usual red sauces . The green sauce in comparison did not impress me. The handmade tortillas are big and stand out in taste. Without reading the sign of handmade tortillas you can tell just by looking at the tacos that these are not your average store bought and reheated tortillas. The birria soft taco was also very good The meat did have the birria flavor I am accostumed to. The tacos are filled with meat generously as well but would suggest adding a bit more onion. Also they have a $1.00 processing fee if you pay with an atm, and there is also a sign that they are short in change if you pay with cash. read more

El Tacontento - burrito - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The first time we drove by El Taconento was on a Sunday evening and we were bummed to find out that they were closed. On our street taco scramble this past weekend, they were opened, and they had a small group of people waiting for their orders which was also a good sign. Run by a husband and wife team (I think) they have a nice selection-Tacos,Tortas, Quesadillas, Burritos and something no other vendor offers, Huaraches(Slippers). They also offer six types of meat selections-Asada, Lengua, Cabeza, Pollo, Al Pastor(He has an Al Pastor Carousel inside) and Birria, another thing no other vendor offers. Traditionally made with goat, Tacontento's version is beef, kinda sorta like picadillo(if you had Cafe Rio's Chile Roasted Beef, it is very similar to that) So we shared a Taco de Al Pastor, Taco de Lengua,($1.50/each) and a Huarache de Birria($5) The al pastor had very good flavor with nicely charred bits, and the lengua was oh-so-soft and tenderlicious! There's nothing like a fresh handmade tortilla, and this is the only way tacos are made here . The Huarache is a 1/4-inch thick by 10-inch oval of masa that is griddled to perfection topped with beans, meat of your choice,shredded lettuce, crema Mexicana, and Cotija cheese.Just as good as the ones I've had in the streets of Cancun, and much tastier than the huaraches served at Los Antojos. Wait times vary, depending on how busy they are, but if you are patient, the food served up here is definitely worth the wait. easily becoming one of my favorite street vendors...ALOHA!!! read more

Kept passing by this place and decided to finally give it a try. The service was amazing, super friendly and helpful. The food was really good. I got two Al pastor tacos, very savory and juicy. The salsa verde wasn't too spicy. I would highly recommend this place. Will come back again! read more

It's located in a gas station, it's a small business. We were first hesitant since it was located in a gas station but surprising the food was good. The tortas and tacos de birria are delicious. The agua frescas are really good probably the best I had in a while. The lady who placed out order was very kind, attentive, and welcoming. Would go again when visiting Vegas and recommend to others to try it themselves. read more

Last night my girlfriend was craving tacos and we didn't really feel like cooking. We just moved into a different part of Vegas a couple months ago and have been slowly but surely finding new food spots near the neighborhood to keep in our back pocket (we cook a large majority of the time). The El Tacontento truck definitely did not let us down! I've been dying to try birria tacos and she brought us home a double order (3 for each of us). Soooo satisfying I could eat them again tonight! The flavors were all the way there, you could tell love was put into the preparation of the food which is something I value as someone who loves to cook. Great taco truck! We will definitely be back! read more

Doesn't look like much when you're walking by but it is delicious. I 100% recommend los huaraches de asada they are delicious.

Very very clean!! I mean there's a mop and bucket right outside. Food and portion sizes are worth it!! Best $1 tacos I've had in quite some time. A little larger than your regular street tacos. And the flavor is definitely worth whatever you pay!! read more

Good, friendly service is not something I've come to expect from a taco truck, but El Tacontento delivers service with a smile almost as big as the grinning, sombrero-wearing taco painted on the truck. I drive past this newer taco cart on my way to work, and one thing convinced me that I had to try it: the name! This stand in the parking lot of a tire shop across from Fiesta Rancho and the Westwind Drive-In Theater recently replaced another mobile vendor with not-so-memorable tacos and a name I can't remember. I requested a veggie burrito and was offered pinto beans, rice, cheese, lettuce, salsa, and crema inside a large flour tortilla. The rice was well seasoned and the Mexican-style sour cream made it even more delicious. I'll be back for this burrito for sure. My husband ordered a taco de birria and proclaimed it very tasty for his first time ever sampling birria. He was given a choice of corn tortilla: regular or fresh. Of course, he opted for the freshly pressed and griddled masa. Our total? $5. They offer bottled beverages, but I'd definitely like to see some horchata or other aguas. The man and woman who took our order and prepared our food were so friendly and helpful that we will certainly return for mas tacos y burritos. Gracias and cuatro estrellas for El Happy Taco! read more

El Tacontento - Pretty tasty - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Hidden gem in north las Vegas. If you are ever near Texas station, hit them up! Sooooooo good.

So I went here for lunch I ordered 2 chicken tacos which were more bone than meat and the rice was burned. Never again

Absolutely love this place. I have always been sketchy about food trucks/stands. But this one takes it. Their meat is always well seasoned. The taco trucks I have tried have either been too salty or too dry. This taco stand is my favorite by far. And what better than to have home made tortillas! I am a regular customer and have never been disappointed in their food. They are very nice ppl and will always make sure our order is correct. I also like that we can add our own topping. They always have a "help yourself" refried beans pot as well. Definitely recommend to any taco lover out there read more

El Tacontento - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Yum! So glad I checked Yelp (yet again) when deciding where to eat tonight. I've seen this taco truck several times on my way home but am always sketchy about which ones are good since there are so many! The photos on the reviews were awesome and I saw that I could call to place a to-go order. The woman who answered spoke very clear english and explained to me what a Huaraches was. I'm glad I decided to try it. SOOO tasty! I got the carne asada one and a carne asada taco. Everything was very fresh and delish. I can't wait for the bf to get back in town to take him there. They're going to be getting a lot of to go orders from me! :) read more
