    This taco truck is definitely under-appreciated. It's rare to find $1.50 tacos, especially at this quality (and only $1 on Taco Tuesdays) They don't skimp on the meat (but on Tuesdays I can't tell if the portions are smaller?), and their salsa/toppings are self-serve, so you're more than getting your money's worth. We always get asada and al pastor. Al pastor is very well-flavored, and with the pineapples, it's *chefs kiss* (they don't always add the pineapples so I make sure to ask. There's been a couple of times I've asked when placing a phone order and they've forgotten. The tacos are still great without it though) Personally I feel it's pretty comparable to Tacos el May (meat quality there is admittedly better) but you're still getting great tacos here for only half the price! We have been coming once a week/biweekly. You won't be disappointed :)

    Food: the al pastor tacos were pretty decent for their price. i wasn't mind blown or anything but it was good! loved adding lime and sauce to my tacos Service: Helpful and efficient Ambiance: When we went it wasn't too busy. A truck on the side of the road with people who come to order here and there

    Third visit to this taco truck on a Tuesday in three weeks. The tacos are that good! I have tried tacos with several of the meats and these are my favorites in order Chicken, Al pastor, Carnitas, Asada, & Birria loaded with salsa verde Hubby has also tried buche, cabeza, and tripa ordered extra crispy but it was not all cooked that way anyways he said they were just ok Service was quick and friendly

    Extremely difficult to find tacos that are still $1.50 in this day and age. All the meats we ordered (pollo, carne asada, and birria) were delicious and you can self-serve the sides such as the onions and sauces. Highly recommend. Service was nice and efficient.

    this place is my go to taco truck! taco tuesday price is unbeatable and the quality is amazing - i recently discovered their carne asada fries and i've been hooked ever since. they have great customer service as well! definitely worth the wait and will definitely come back for my taco fix!

    they have $1 tacos every tuesday! they put out limes, onions, and cilantro outside with sauce bottles for you to serve yourself, and the staff is very friendly. they are quick and can fix orders with no problem

    The tacos here so are sooo good and so affordable, sometimes I go and get like 50 for my family :3 my favorite would be their Al pastor w pineapple! Idk if the stand is apart of the truck but I love the brisket from the stand because the flavors burst in my mouth and I appreciate the fattiness of the meat. Parking is easy, there's limited tables so we always eat in the back of the car trunk lol. Love this place!

    Tripas and Cabeza

    El Toro De Oro is easily one of my favorite taco spots in town. I absolutely love their tacos, especially the tripas and cabeza. They are perfectly cooked every time and packed with flavor. The al pastor with pineapple is another must try. It is sweet, savory, and has just the right amount of char. Taco Tuesday here is amazing. One dollar tacos make it one of the best deals around. You cannot find this level of quality at that price anywhere else. And the chipotle sauce deserves its own shoutout. It is honestly addictive. I do not think I can go back to eating tacos without it. They are often overlooked because of the hype around Tacos El May, but do not sleep on El Toro De Oro. The food is incredible, the prices are great, and the flavors will keep you coming back. I highly recommend it.

Tacos were $2.50 like most of the other trucks/stands that I've been to in the area and super good. I also liked that they cucumbers with some sort of salsa on them instead of just plain cucumbers I liked both the cabeza and the pastor a lot, but suadero was the one that stood out to me the most compared to previous tacos that I've had. Def recommend giving suadero a try if you haven't yet! Two of my friends tried it for the first time and liked it a lot.

Whenever we're in the area and see the truck, there's always a crowd, and we always stop by to grab some food. They've never disappointed us. Their salsa is one of our favorite parts--it's flavorful with a good spicy kick. Our usual order: Carne Asada - 7/10 Tender, but a little on the dry side. Lengua - 8/10 Super tender and full of flavor. Al Pastor - 8/10 Well-seasoned with a nice char. Mulitas - 9/10 One of our favorites! Crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Lengua Quesadilla - 9/10 Loaded with tender lengua and definitely worth ordering. We recommend this spot to all of our friends. There's plenty of parking, and the truck is well lit at night. Although the surrounding street is fairly quiet in the evening, it's an easy and convenient stop if you're craving authentic street tacos.

We started doing a game where we'd pick something random on the menu, just to see if it was a miss. That's how good everything is here. From the carnitas plate, to the tacos a la cart and the Camerones that remind me of the day my husband proposed to me after a day in Bajamar. The service is also everything - they've got a great team dynamic and always seem to be talking about what's next in the kitchen, what needs to be prepared or what to turn over and make fresh. The cherry on top has to either be the custom made salsa bar or every single Mexican soda you can think of. Dine in, outside or takeaway. The ambiance is really all because of the food and how it feeds your belly and soul.

    Taquería Mexico: The Incredible Shrinking Taco…read more I remember when this place had lines out the door. Cinco de Mayo, I'm craving tacos, I show up expecting chaos. There's 3 people ahead of me. Jackpot, right? Wrong. They move so slow that a line forms behind me anyway. 15 minutes later I finally order: 2 carne asada, 2 al pastor to go, onion + cilantro on the side, salsa included. $2.65 each, FYI. Get home, crack open the foil, and... are these tacos for ants? I'm not crazy, so I did what any rational adult does: pulled out a food scale. Three tacos, weighed the meat. All came in at _under 1 oz_. Normal tacos run 1.5 oz. These are missing a full half-ounce of dignity. I usually need 2-3 bites per taco. These? One bite. I tested it. Slid right in like a communion wafer. Flavor? Aggressively mid. Carne asada tasted like it gave up halfway through cooking. Pastor was just... there. Nothing offensive, nothing memorable. Like a beige PowerPoint slide. Sides? Salsa bar? Pickled onions, grilled jalapeños, radishes? Nah. This place is a desert. You get foil, meat confetti, and the crushing realization that $2.65 bought you disappointment. Now I know why the line died. Taquería Mexico isn't even phoning it in -- they hung up. Orange County really is the undisputed champion of mid tacos. I live 1 mile from the LA County line and I'm forced to cross it like a taco refugee. Sad, because I _want_ to support brick-and-mortar spots. But not when they're actively shrinking my dinner. Giving them 3 stars on Yelp because I was raised right. Real score: 4.8/10. The pics on their site are pure fiction from 2012. Don't believe me? I took a pic of the meat on my scale as evidence. CSI: Taco Division. Do better, Taquería Mexico. This is shameful.

Service is nice and friendly, not bad for waiting. Ordered a burrito ($11) with 1/2 marinated pork (which is quite good), and 1/2 with tongue (interesting, not bad but I wouldn't do it again for the burrito, for taco - yes) w/o cheese & bean - basically meats w/ rice and everything else.
