Not sure what to do with this place - we want to rate it higher but all we really remember is the dry meat, the salsa that was a bit meh, and getting attacked by what must have been a swarm of mosquitoes. Granted this is a taco truck and the mosquitoes are beyond the owner's control but the food definitely is. And we're not sure if this place warrants a return based purely on that. It's cheap and this is still probably a step up from the more tex-mex and American leaning taco trucks down the street, but being the best house on a bad block is just that... read more

La Troca del Sabor - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My favorite mexican food truck in the area. Sure, the tacos can be a little bit messy, but that is part of the fun. I like going for the pork tacos, extra spicy. Like a hotdog stand, don't expect gourmet food. Expect tasty cheap food that you can grab on the go. After riding all over town, a stop at La Troca del Sabor always makes my day. read more

La Troca del Sabor - a menu for a mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am so sad that this truck is just so far from me. Even worse is that the truck has a Woodside address printed on it (where I actually live), but it's never actually in Woodside. Instead, this little blue and green truck is located all the way in Williamsburg, tucked around the corner of N 4th and Bedford ave. It looks questionable at first because there are no ostentatious signs and both times when I've gone, there were no customers. But the lady who works in the truck is the sweetest, and the food is excellent. I can only speak for the quesadilla here, but my friends also loved their tacos. The quesadilla is super cheesy and loaded with tons of meat. Compared to other places, it isn't as greasy and it just has a more simple taste to it, for a lack of better words. The corn tortilla she uses is pretty thick. She drizzles this white sauce on top, and includes a side of green sauce. Best part is, it costs only $2.50 for this massive quesadilla that takes up the entire takeout box. read more

La Troca del Sabor - Pork quesadilla $2.50 - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The most fun you can have, standing up: chorizo taco from this truck. Don't waste your time on any of the other trucks around here, this is The One. Why don't you find a nice summer day, get a burrito from this truck, walk over to McCarren Park and eat it. It beats going to church and is twice as good for your soul. read more

This undersung taco truck on N4th and Bedford sports cheaper ($2.25) and more flavorful tacos than its competitor, Endless Summer. The pork tacos, for example, are more fatty, moist and full. "Truck of flavor" indeed: Each taco has zesty, thick red salsa and salsa verde. Two make a full meal. Cooked by a real abuela and served with an actual smile. No scrawny dudes on their college break "humorously" forgetting your order. read more

So last night I went into Williamsburg looking for cheap food that would be somewhat filling too. I searched Yelp and found that there were two taco truck/cart places a few blocks from me. I decided that I might as well try them both seeing as how they both got good reviews and were literally several blocks from each other. The first place was La Troca del Sabor which was a big truck. The second place was a stand inside cart called Taco Morelos. Look for my review on Taco Morelos. La Troca del Sabor is actually on the cheap and inexpensive side for tacos. They were $2.25 each. One of the quick tips I read boasted that the chicken was amazing and the beef was just okay. So I decided to get a chicken taco and passed up the beef for a pork taco. They came packed on this paper container (the type you get cheese fries on at Nathan's) with two pieces of lime and wrapped in foil. It was dark out so I couldn't really even tell what was in it. It looked like a big mess. My very first complaint is that the two pieces of lime were actually one wedge of lime cut in half the short way. That's kind of cheap. It made it worse that there was barely any juice coming out of them. My second complaint is that once I picked up the Chicken Taco, half the filling immediately fell out the other end and landed on top and the side of my Pork Taco. My third complaint is that the soft taco shell was very tough and chewy. It was so bad that at one point I just wanted to eat the filling and leave the shell. These tacos were quite messy. Luckily the lady gave me a good amount of napkins. They weren't all that special. The taco shell was tough and the filling was just okay at best. The chicken wasn't amazing as I was expecting. The pork was somewhat better but still nothing special. After I got home later that night I came down with a bad case of FOOD POISONING. I don't know which place I got it from so I'll just have to include this section in both reviews. I've puked all night and the world seemed to be spinning. Had I not known better I'd say I was drunk. read more

It's like a little Southern California taco embassy. Kicks the pants off the hipster taco truck on Bedford. A sweet couple are cooking inside and it's clean and pretty and delicious and CHEAP. I got one beef taco, walked back to work to eat it, ate it, then walked back to get another one. It was that good. Tastes like home made . My LA people will disown for comparing this truck to any LA taqueria, but it comes closer to the real deal I grew up with than any other Mexican I've had in NYC. Viva La Troca del Sabor!! read more

I don't give many 5 stars but I also don't rate many food trucks. I'm hoping this little truck will drive over the the east village. Please?? I frequently have the $2.50 vegetarian taco. They use fresh oaxaca cheese among other fresh ingredients. It's pretty much perfect except I don't think the corn tortillas are freshly made...fine it's really 4.5 read more

Although I always see people line this truck and my coworkers also love to order here, I have never tried their food and today I finally did and it was quite good experience. The lady elder there was patient enough to explain the menu and the amount they serve to me as I question. When I finally decide on what to have, the service was quite quick, and she was very kind with nice smile. I had the chicken quesadilla, it was $4 and was good amount crispy in outside and a lot of cheese and veggies and chicken inside. I liked the green spice that comes in small container. The man lined after me asked them to exclude white sauce for his burrito. Since it was first time for me to try here I was not sure what will be in my dish, but I agree with him next time I will also ask to have no white sauce . It is not that they taste bad, but in the summer I prefer my dish to be fresh and spicy but not so creamy, Nice place! I hope they can and will stay there for long, because many cafes and cheap nice food places are running out of their business on bedford street right now because of the increased rent issue. read more

I'm so sad. Was expecting greatness, and got tacos that are so very average (which means not good). Maybe these other New Yorkers don't know what a taco should taste like. I'm from Cali, although the best taco I've ever had is from Philly (shout out don memos truck). Got a chicken, pork, and beef taco. All three were dry and lacking in flavor. Wtf yelp. read more

When I left my Brooklyn accommodations, I stopped here for some good street food that NYC is famous for. Their simple menu includes chicken, beef, pork and fish tacos; I ordered a chicken taco, which was amazing. For $3.50, you can't go wrong with a quickie snack that's made fresh and will satisfy your cravings. My only regret was to not have enjoyed this taco stand one more time before leaving. read more

Amazing, fabulous, sweet, sincere abuelita (grandma) with some super delicious food!!!! A must have. :) - Yummy! read more

I used to love this place for a cheap taco until I tried Tacos Morales. The real problem I have is with the food. It's cheap and if that's all you care about then this is your place. But after eating here once I realized that whatever is in their sauces or seasonings was making me feel lightheaded and giving me a headache after every time I ate here--kind of similar to the effects of eating msg. Who knows what it was, but giving them the benefit of the doubt (and given my frequent need for a snacky meal that isn't a slice of pizza), I came back a few more times and felt the same way. Aside from the sauce/seasoning issue, the taste is just still not very good overall and everything tastes like spicy cardboard with lime. I have to say also that even though I was polite and always left a tip, the service was pretty unremarkable. Time after time I went with a friend, ordered 2 tacos, paid together, and they would put both tacos in one flimsy cardboard container. Two containers for the two separate tacos we ordered and that we want to eat--that's a pretty basic thing to ask for, I think. read more

I'm still fairly new to the food truck fad, but this is easily my favourite so far. After departing the Metropol hostel for my bus home, I was hungry for a snack to fuel me for the long night ahead of me. Thankfully, La Troca del Sabor proved more than satisfactory. I tried a beef quesadilla, which was a gigantic, thick tortilla loaded with cheese flavorful beef. I got both the white sauce and the green hot sauce on top. Easily the best meal for under $3. read more

WOW! I had been going to Endless Bummer for years, mostly for the convenience and cheapness. That is over now, praise the lord, I have Troca del Sabor! The staff are genuinely warm and friendly, and the prices are even more reasonable than Endless Bummer. And the food! The tortillas are warm and soft, not to mention delicious. The salsas are tasty with just the right amount of spice. And the meat they use is fresh and well inspected. Basically, this place does everything better than Endless Bummer and it's less expensive. You can get a delicious meal here, served by friendly folks, for less than $5. Insane. If you are turned off by Endless Bummer, or dissatisfied, check this place out. It's like a block away. Over the years, I got really turned off by the attitude of the staff and the low quality of the food at Bummer. I don't need someone to kiss my ass, but these guys were: On a good day, totally detached and apathetic. On a bad day, outright rude, sloth-like, and condescending. Their tortillas are dried out and leathery, their chicken contains cartilage and other bits of questionable texture, etc. Check out Sabor! read more

I was so hopefully this place would be as good as a California burrito place and it disappointed. The vegetarian burrito was all right. The women who was running it was very nice. She sped up my order because 2 people in line were ordering veggie burritos so she just made a larger portion of grilled veggies. She will give you a red salsa and a green one. So few places in NY do that so I was happy with that. At under six bucks for a vegetarian burrito I can't complain but I won't be raving about this place. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE FUCKIN BOMB. Not only is it super affordable, you get real, authentic mexican food. I eat here 3 times a week. The lady that cooks is named Dina, she does not speak much english but, she makes the best pork taco I have ever tasted. Way better than that hipster faux mexican truck where I see the most absurd people waiting in the most absurd line. I have been holding out for a while because I like not waiting in line but this place deserves to be discovered. It will not disappoint. If I could I would adopt this woman as my grandmother. There is no guac. That is salsa verde read more

I'm usually wary of truck food... it smacks of questionable sanitation practices and the possibility of food stewing for days. But this truck of Mexican flavor has me hooked. The tacos are fresh corn tortillas full of juicy meat, fresh cilantro, some other spicy condiments that I don't know the names of, and lime juice. Try the chicken or the pork tacos. The beef, rice and beans dish is fantastic and simple as well - and a big enough portion to feed two. I wish they would drive on over to my neighborhood instead of crappy Williamsburg ;) Truck on! read more

This place is one of my favorite lunch spots in Williamsburg. We walk over from our office once a week. It's delicious and you can get an amazing meal for $6 or less. The chicken borrito is #1. Sidenote: the last two times I've gone the truck has been missing at Bedford and N4th. Does anybody know where it went? read more

Had to stay home and work today and wanted to get some quick tacos. Ended up walking on over to La Troca del Sabor. The beef and pork tacos were delicious, fresh, spicy (this is a good thing!) and all for $5. The woman and man working the truck were extremely friendly and chatted with me while I (briefly) waited for the tacos. I'll definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu. read more

I love Dena the woman who runs this taco truck - fast, delicious service and food.

Pretty good! I like going here for a few tacos and rice and beans, then going to Endless Summer for fish tacos and corn. I've never had any gastro problems from eating their food as one post said. read more

The best option of the Mexican trucks in Williamsburg - the $5 chicken burrito is legit! And the lady is so nice.

Fantastic flavor and really nice lady in the kitchen, prices are so affordable too! This place is an oasis for many reasons!

We ordered the chorizo burrito. $6 and it was AMAZING!!!! Packed with a lot of goodness and a side of green sauce. The portion was huge! Will definitely be coming back. read more

I lived across the street from this truck for a year and am absolutely hooked on their cheese quesadillas! You have to get the spicy green sauce if you get a quesadilla otherwise, you're missing out big time. The couple that runs this truck is the sweetest couple ever and love catching up with them every time I go. And oh yeah, it's $2.50 for a quesadilla that will fill you up! Love it!!! read more

Its real simple folks, this food truck makes amazing tacos and other mexican eats and its all for under $5! I am definitely not a food truck fan as I struggle with the sanitary issues on these trucks but this truck was cleaner than my own kitchen and did I say the eats were amazing for east coast tacos? its so cheap you can try everything in one sitting if you dare wish to, so just go, don't even hesitate, tell them El Jefe sent you! Enjoy! read more

As a West Coast transplant, I have to say that I was unimpressed. Ordered the vegetarian burrito and vegetarian quesadilla. The vegetarian quesadilla had a wierd crust from being fried in too much oil and not enough veggies or cheese. read more

A great taco. I really enjoyed the red and green sauce as well as the tortillas they used.

The burritos are soooo good and have quickly become my favorite in just about all of Williamsburg. Love this truck, the lady is soooo sweet, and they have Mexican coke. Easy 5 stars!! read more

I had the vegetable burrito with light cream 4-5 days/week for lunch for almost three months. That may sound crazy, but $5 for a solid authentic burrito is hard to beat, even with the numerous food options in the area. Dena (the woman who runs the truck) is so sweet. Tip her a dollar, she deserves it! read more

Happy Monday! I can't believe it's taken me this long to write about del Sabor, but here it is. By this point, you should know that one of my favorite hobbies and past-times is eating tacos, especially from an authentic taco truck--so I'm happy to share this with you. La Troca del Sabor is literally right around the corner from Endless Summer. I think at times it's a little tastier, and while maybe 15%--if that-- smaller, they're also over a dollar cheaper. A beef taco is $2.50. A burrito is $5. The green sauce that graces both (as well as the red spicy sauce) is so Flavorful. I definitely like the flavor of these better. Overall, if I see this truck here, I'll skip Endless Summer and go for this one. The lady who works in it is also really cute, too. It's located on South 4th, right off the west side of Bedford Avenue. Overall certainly worth it for a cheap eat on Bedford. I've also been known to put two or three of these down on my way to the subway / L train if I've had a few and little to eat. read more

I'm not sure I would go so far as to call this authentic but inexpensive and good are enough for me and at least with these guys you can feel good about handing them your hard earned cash. read more

The vegetarian burrito is tasty, filling and and inexpensive. It comes with a nice salsa verde. At $5 it beats dos toros and the woman who runs the truck is very nice :) read more

One of my two favorite veggie burritos on this coast. Their salsas are totally legit, & hands down the best rice around. The husband and wife are great. Going here is always a pleasure. read more

The only thing better than the ($5.50!) burritos is the sweet woman who makes them.

Pffffffff vraiment très dry and not ....gouteux. (tasty). Sorry for fans, I didn't like. I am so sorry to be a so poor boring French guy but really it was not good..... for me.... sorry. Hi girls and boys, as I always says in french "le pas cher est toujours trop cher" read more
