I was in the area visiting a different taco food truck when I noticed Tacos Quintero had a high…read moreoverall rating, but relatively few reviews. I decided to stop to try a couple of small things. They did a great job with the food truck appearance and the area surrounding the food truck. The food truck, with its purple base, and cool art, is eye-catching. There was outside seating, and although the seating wasn't fancy, it was welcoming. Service was efficient. The food had some good parts, but I didn't connect with it like I do with my favorite spots. I ordered a Carne Enchilada Taco (marinated pork pieces) and a Chicharron Gordita. The pork on the taco was tender, but the marinade was just OK for me. The other aspects of the taco were fine, although there was too much cilantro. A Gordita is made with corn masa, and like an arepa can be, is used to make a small sandwich. Chicharron is fried pork skin. When you see it, it usually is in a long strip with perpendicular slices. It reminds me a bit of a thicker well cooked bacon. The corn masa seemed well executed. I didn't like the flavor combo of the lettuce, cheese crumbles (I assume cotija) and Chicharron. Also, some parts of the Chicharron were very crispy and not enjoyable to chew. These aren't common orders for me. If I returned, I'd probably try different types of tacos like pastor, chorizo or bistec. Given TQ's overall rating, I would still recommend visiting. 3.75 Stars

It gives abuela's dining room that hasn't changed since 1996 vibes. If the decor had a MySpace it will be playing Gasolina on its page. However, you come here for the flavor fiesta. Service is always superb as well. The waiter this time around was observant & bubbly. He kept cracking jokes like if it was open mic comedy night. There was Spanish music playing on speakers. I was vibing & almost got up to start dancing like I was in a mariachi band. My go to meal is the La Parrillada. It consists of grilled pork(really bacon),chicken, & steak(I always add on shrimp),Mexican sauce served w/ rice,refried beans(umm,umm w/ cheese on top),lettuce,avocado slices, & corn tortillas . I minus the pico de gallo sauce(I'm not a fan of onions yeah I know,I know but it's my nemesis like Superman w/ kyptonite). My food took a little bit to come out but I munched on the complimentary chips & salsa. When my food arrived I was ready to devour like a T-Rex dinosaur. I made myself tacos w/ the corn tortillas like a professional Lego building master. I packed it up w/ rice,beans,& meats/shrimp. It was mouth watering! I felt like a vampire drooling over a victim(like the Sinners movie). Ha,ha! They're famous for their signature drinks. You can get a regular sized or super sized drink(like if you were in a '90's Mickey D's). They have a full bar w/ anything you desire. From wine to beer to mixed drinks & more! Overall,gr8 experience! I just wish the interior was updated. It has so much potential. Also, I almost forgot to mention there is a fee if you use credit card & 18% gratuity is automatically added to your bill. I didn't mind the added gratuity b/c I always tip 20% anyways but the credit card fee is always bummer. I hardly carry cash.

I decided to start off with a Cosmopolitan, and later got a Pomtini, but since they didn't have Pomegranate Juice, I had it replaced with Cranberry Juice. Both were still really tasty, and my favorite part was the sugar on the rim, made it taste so good. I got some Elotes, honestly they were okay, the corn was more on the undercooked side, a lil hard. The wings were actually pretty good, the meat was juicy. I had a lava cake for dessert and it was pretty tasty too. I also had the nachos w/chicken recently since I stopped by again, but didn't take a picture. Honestly, those were eh, the nachos got soggy really fast and weren't crunchy, so that was disappointing. Overall everything came out pretty fast, I wasn't waiting very long. Leo was an amazing bartender, great conversation. Again, the vibe was great and I even made some acquaintances out of it, we all shared a shot together! Great vibes, and would definitely stop by again.

The person working, who I assume may have been Hugo, was very nice and helpful. They serve tacos, tortas, tamales, burritos, quesadillas, soups and salads. They listed various meats on the menu, but on this day, they only only had Pastor, Lengua (beef tongue) and shredded chicken. I ordered one taco of each and a Passion Fruit Agua Fresca. The tortillas were very good. Each taco came with cilantro, onions and a shredded mild cheese. They also gave me Salsas Rojo and Verde, and a white container that I assume was sour cream. I don't normally order chicken or Lengua, but I thought they were well executed. The pastor didn't seem like pastor. It tasted good, but it seemed more like a pork sausage. It was lacking that trademark pastor marinade flavor. The salsas were both good. Hugo's is definitely a legit taco truck and I would return. 4.5 Stars.

First appearances from the outside weren't overly welcoming but once you come inside it's warm and bigger than expected. We chose a taco salad and a combo dinner. The taco salad with beef is almost like stewed meat and a tad fatty but very good. There are no refried or black beans, just lettuce and tomatoes with a bit of guacamole and cheese. The chips and salsa were good but nothing special. For the combo dinner we had a pork tamale and chicken enchilada with verde sauce. Now, both of these are absolutely delicious. The tamale had lots of pork that was wonderfully flavored and the same with the enchilada. The rice and beans were also wonderful. Service was 5 stars as well.
