    I had the brisket and the ribs, both were excellent. Super moist and flavorful. The mac and cheese and baked beans were very good as well.

    My fav taco place!! Super authentic! Always hot and ready rather quickly without a line! Call ahead…read morefor even faster service

    Some people say I'm girlie, others say I'm MACHO Some people…read moreknow real Mexican food, others just eat NACHO I cross the Rio Grande at will, you just watch RIO BRAVO And when I'm in Columbus, I come straight to TACO NAZO Barbi doesn't like to suck but me I love to SWALLOW Anything for Barbi or for money is my MOTTO I've had some problems down in Houston just like the APOLLO But when I want some Tacos in Columbus, I hit NAZO I've been to South America, the Mid East and MORROCCO I've been labeled deep AF while others think I'm HOLLOW Some people think I'm Gandhi, Lennon, others say I'm PSYCHO But one thing that I know is that I love my TACO NAZO I like to pretend I'm okay but that's just my BRAVADO Sometimes I feel so cold inside like Frances was in FARGO Sometimes I feel so frozen I'm like Barbi in CHICAGO But when I'm in Columbus, f*** me, I get TACO NAZO WHAT Not to be confused with Taxi Nazo, which is actually a form of Uber founded in Guadalajara, perros. This was one of my introductions to real Mexican food, many years ago, and one of the reasons I fell in love with food trucks before you all did (and before hipsters sort of ruined food trucks and jacked up the prices). The prices here are still low, and the quality is still great, but not the life changing food I used to remember from here. Is that because my tastes expanded, adapted, I found many more great Mexican places? Or did they change owners or get less good? Either way I still love eating here. Not to be confused with Taco Nazi, which closed down in Berlin in 1945 and hopefully will never reopen again even though for 4 years or so Trump was trying to get it back in business. So I used to come here for the gorditas and I was completely in love, they were the best I ever had. These days there's Gorditas Santiago in Chicago and I can't remember any other Gordita being that good as Nazo used to be. Nobody could make tacos and gorditas like these guys, and they were just so good, so it was hard to put into words how delicious these products were. Not to be confused with Taco Napster, which illegally took tacos from other places and handed them to you, never making their own. But only Lars "Taco King" Ulrich had an issue with that, greedy f***. Over the years things changed somewhat, and it might even have gotten new owners (not sure), but I'm not sure. As I said - unsure. The menu is still the same, but I don't enjoy the products as much as I used to. I might have given it 4/5 based on my last 2 experiences here, but the first dozen were life changing so I'll give it 5 for the memories and hope that my next visit is back to the stellar level I remember. Not to be confused with "Taco Nasty" which is owned by Janet (Miss Jackson if you're at Taco Nasty). There was a time I would have said this was the best horchata, and some of the best tacos, and the best gordita, that you could get in the whole country. These days I would say it's more like a four-star meal and honestly I had 2-star horchata here rather than the old-days 5/5 horchata, but because of the wonderful memories and the fact that this place helped put Mexican food on the map for me, and I mean the real kind, I will have to give it five stars. Not to be confused with Taco Naptime, which is what happens after you eat any form of real Mexican food. Luckily Los Guachos, which originally was always second best for Mexican in Columbus, but best for Al Pastor Tacos maybe in the country, has maintained its ridiculous standard over the years, so I hope that one of these days when I go back to Taco Nazo it will taste exactly the way I remember and as good as Guachos has continued to be. Now I have to go and "Guach" the election results, but that's "Nazo" bad because Biden is about to be declared the winner. More tacorap now. It's like tacocat, but a rap, and less feline. So no need to be miserable, no need for the SORROW Tacos will cheer you right up, so you don't need to WALLOW I promise that I'll follow back if you give me a FOLLOW And then we'll go for food truck dinner here at TACO NAZO So I can sit right on your lap like I'm in Santa's GROTTO Or I can lean into the rolled down window of your AUTO Or I can bring my Barbi and you'll think you won the LOTTO But the best plan of them all is that we go to TACO NAZO I will bring my Devil's Tower and Barbi'll bring her LAGO You'll find I'm a strict machine, but not like the GESTAPO Barbi's hotter than Ipanema girls, and I'm bigger than SAO PAULO And we'll bring the best food in the world, like TACO NAZO Barbi charges more than I do for her AVOCADO And when she gets Chilly I take her to SANTIAGO Then I make her squeal repeatedly just like VIBRATO Then we're hungry so we hit Columbus' TACO NAZO! WHAT

    So glad I grabbed lunch from this truck today! There are so many customizations available: base,…read moreprotein, sauce, veggies, oh my! I ordered a bowl with zucchini noodles, meatballs, artichokes, and giardiniera. The zoodles were cooked perfectly and the giardiniera gave it a delightful spicy kick. The portion size was great for lunch. I will definitely stalk this truck in the future!

    I had my first experience with Blu Olive yesterday and I can promise you it won't be my last. Right…read moreoff the bat I was greeted kindly and given the run down that everything is made fresh and that it's all delicious so you really can't go wrong. You can pick from an array of sandwiches, all reasonably priced between $6-$8 or you can build your own salad or pasta. There are also side options including breadsticks, pepperoni sticks, chips, or a side salad. I opted for a chicken sandwich. It comes with grilled chicken, mozzarella, and topped with Alfredo sauce. You can also add two veggies to your sandwich. I went with spinach and the hot homemade giardiniera. To be frank - the sandwich is MASSIVE. And it smelled incredible. The bun was toasted and buttered, adding another layer of delicousness to the sandwich. The chicken was slightly dry, but with everything else added to it, it didn't take away from the flavor. The giardiniera is NOT to be missed - a really spicy, crunchy kick to round out the richness of everything else. If you're looking to try Blu Olive, they put up their schedule on Facebook, making it easy to find them wherever they are. They're absolutely worth a shot!
