I am puzzled by the extremely positive reviews I read on Yelp before eating here…read more.. I grew up in LA, I will try to lessen my expectations as the general quality of Mexican food on the east coast is nowhere near that of Southern California... so here we go. The chicken platter looks like a halal plate, not Mexican. The same chicken is used in their chicken tacos. The flavor isn't right, and because they decided to not cube it like would be normal at damn near any Mexican restaurant one might go to, it's dry af. I ordered a carne asada torta. They should not call the item I received carne asada. Call it stringy stew beef torta, cuz this shit ain't carne. The flavor is bad on the beef, bland on the beans, overall just not good. Oh, their rice also sucks. 2 stars for effort. If you want a decent taco make your way to Los Tacos No. 1. Photo is of the stringy stew beef carne asada

We recently moved to the corner of 22nd and Broadway and were delighted to see a humble little food…read moretruck called Naranjo's Taco Truck. I am always searching for the elusive "authentic" Mexican Taco and anytime I come across a new restaurant or food stand I give it whirl. Wow, what a total hidden gem this place is. While its menu is diluted with burgers, hot dogs, breakfast foods, there is a small portion of the menu dedicated to Mexican food. Considering that Taco is in the trucks name, I ordered two standard chicken tacos. THEY WERE AWESOME. Chicken was marinated with some delicious blend of spices and juicy. It was also PROPERLY presented in two warm corn tortillas with onion, cilantro and lots of lime juice. I kid you not, I have ordered a chicken taco EVERY DAY for lunch since we moved in. I'm also not kidding when I say I have contemplated offering to buy the whole truck. If this truck got a nice trendy paint job and focused solely on Mexican cuisince it would dominate. I really think it would. Try it out before the word gets out! FYI they are on 22nd and Broadway M-F from about 6am - 5pm UPDATE: I just had the chicken burrito for the first time today, and i LOVE It. Better than the tacos even

Quick rundown of the menu:…read more Tacos: Chicken, Pork, Beef, Chorizo, Tamalesles, Maduro, and Tostones = $2.00 (Maduro and Tostones are plantain dishes) Empanadas: Beef, Cheese, Chicken, Pork = $2.50 Platters: Nachos, Steak, Fajitas, Burritos, Quesadillas, & random standard street food (burgers & sandwiches) = $5.00 For the last few weeks I have been walking by this truck on my daily commute thinking it was just a standard breakfast and burger truck because of the decal and emphasis on everything but the spiffy Mexican food found within. Let me start by saying that this is no replacement for TRI Taco's ... TRI taco's were amazingly tasty but Naranjo's taco's are great in their own rite. Michael S. is right that their menu focus's too much on breakfast and standard American food while they really should be playing up the Mexican cuisine. So far I've had a beef, chicken, pork tacos from these guys and a side of rice (not all at once) and I report that the tacos are reallllly good - otherwise I wouldn't bother yelping about it. Disclaimer: THE TACO'S ARE AWESOMELY SPICY!!! (I love spicy food that has flavor but I felt a warning should be in place because these could cause lesser beings tongues to melt upon contact) The beef was good and probably had the most flavor but the only problem was that I had a bit of gristle in my taco.. At first I was like wtf?! then it hit me: this is real meat?! yaaay!! (unlike Taco Bell) The meat in the chicken was pretty bland but the abundant spices and toppings that accompanied made up for it in spades. The pork, in my opinion, (oh wait this whole article is my opinion =P) was the best - although it could use a little salt but this may become my new standard Taco fix. I still need to try a few more menu items to truly fall in love with this truck but I'll update if there is anything else worth having instead of the tacos. Yaaay for Mexican food binges!!

They just recently painted their truck to the Mexico flag colors so you can't miss it. Ingenious idea to located right in front of the Mexican embassy so they get a lot of their customers from there. I love their chorizo tacos. They got them tacos with two corn tortilla and decent amount of meat. They give you cilantro and white onions so it's pretty authentic. They give you green sauce and red sauce, but be careful the red sauce is straight up fire. If you don't like spicy, stay away from the red sauce or you'll regret it later being on the toilet later. I also get their beef quesadilla. Tastes pretty good and I like it that they give you good amounts of meat. Make sure to try the tamales as well. They are pretty good. Prices aren't too bad. $3 a taco, $6 for a quesadilla, $2 for a tamale. Make sure to come early around 11:30. If you come later, all the good meats are gone like chorizo and carnitas. A lot of construction workers frequent this place and many people from the embassy. When you see a crowd like that you know this taco truck is legit.

This is my first meal from this food truck, located on 39th Street and Park Avenue, and it's probably the most addictive food I've had in a while. My experience when I went the first time was pretty chill, since I got there around 2~2:30 for a late lunch. There was no line but asking for a burrito, they informed me they had no more rice & beans for a burrito. But the man at the window was very kind and recommended the enchiladas, which has EVERYTHING, except the rice & beans. I have no regrets, because they give four (!) enchiladas per order! Stuffed entirely with your protein of choice, this will be MORE than enough to fill you. Without knowing what I know now, I got the jalapeño & cheese tamale to hold me over. Now I know, two tamales would be the equivalent of one order of enchiladas! The real star: the flavor. Every part of my meal was delicious and amazingly seasoned to perfection. The spicy chicken is /legit/ spicy, with what seems to be like heat from a habanero. I thrive off of spicy food, so this was a welcome surprise. The tamale, though, a beautifully creamy masa, light spice from the jalapeño and center of melted cheese. TL;DR: I would wholeheartedly recommend trying them or making them a weekly staple! Get the tamales (if they have it!) because they will be a delicious treat. I crave them even now.

Usually they make them with 2 tortilla each, but I request them to use 1. The chef cooks the meat right in front, prepares and packs the tacos in about 5-10 minutes. One time I was able to put take out order thru Grubhub as well. The order was ready upon arrival. It was an easy pick up process. I love their large size tacos. The chicken is good but the beef is even better. Both have such tasty flavor. Even though the restaurant is not the best place to sit and dine, but their food quality and service are very impressive to me.

I paid $7 for a Dixie cup of guac and chips. The quesadilla was good enough to justify the $15 price tag, but I still find that pretty high for a tortilla with cheese and meat. Service was fairly slow (~20 minutes) but they were busy with the lunch rush.

The girl at the front mentioned how their tortas are different from others but I still opted for one. I came back to my hotel room and even though the walk was cold, my totra was still hot. The torta was ok but it was definitely different. It had alot of ingredients that I didn't expect on a torta (like I believe mozzarella cheese). I would go back but I might try a burrito instead or I would opt for less ingredients on the torta so it mimicks a more traditional torta.

I'm so glad I tried them out today and so so glad that I was so so so wrong! I ordered the Grilled Chicken and Spicy Pork soft tacos. Each taco came with raw onions, cilantro, and your choice of sauce. Rather than choosing my own sauce, I left the experts recommend sauce(s) that best complements each protein. Mr. Taco Bite recommended the avocado crema and salsa verde with the Grilled Chicken taco. The chicken was juicy and tender, but the flavors were a little subtle. The sauces enhanced the chicken slightly, but I do wish the salsa verde was a bit spicier. The Spicy Pork came with the picanto rojo sauce and WOW - I was blown away with the flavor blast. The sauce complemented the pork perfectly and the pork was so juicy and so good. The pork is also cooked with onions, so not only was there raw onions and cilantro, you get that oniony contrast with the cooked onions as well. I hear the steak and mushrooms are good too, so I will definitely return and try it all.
