    This place has the best tacos... reminds my husband and I of our trip to Mexico. They have the best Al Pastor. It's worth the trip wherever you live. You can take to go or eat on a bar stool on the truck. Cash only.

    This is THE spot you're looking for when it's 12AM and you're trying to figure out if it makes most sense to stay in bed or venture out in search of tacos. Being an out of towner, the 'experience' in getting there adds all the more to the sweet validation that you made the right choice leaving your bed. Being blunt, the drive there is suspect, especially at this time of night. Driving down dimly lit streets and turning off the main road onto an unpaved graveled parking lot felt like the beginning of a mistake, but when you see extra bright light flood lights illuminating a big food truck in the middle of the night, you've no choice but to continue trusting your intuition. The only thing missing from making this trip the complete experience was the deafening loud music, regardless of the time of day/night. Even at midnight, this place was poppin, with at least 6 customers already there either eating or awaiting their food before I got there, and a handful that arrived after I was waiting myself. Onto the food; in short, it's on point! Up top, prices are a bit on the steep side at $2 a taco, but at the time of my visit, I may have been willing to pay double that :) Pastor is my jam and so pastor is what I got. A total of 5 pastor tacos and 1 Gringas. The tacos are built with 2 corn tortillas, a generous per taco meat proportion (enough that some falls onto your plate when you pick up your taco), cilantro, onion, and a single small slice of fresh pineapple. Included on the side is lime and cucumber (a nice touch that I don't see often in the Chicago). The Gringas was ok; I too am a sucker for melted cheese, but the price differential between this and a normal taco, I'd much rather just have a 2nd 'normal' taco. I may never be in Columbus again, but if I do, I'd go out of my way to visit Los Guachos!

    This time, I got my order to go. I have to say, they upped their game with the to-go packaging! There was some of all the common condiments, salsa verde, the HOT red salsa, limes, cucumber and some salt packets. Everything was packaged nicely, with plenty to go around. Also, this time, I swallowed my pride and asked for a menu. I have attached photos for those of you that like to plan ahead. :)

    Gringas A.K.A. Heaven on my plate.

    Best Mexican in Columbus. And I mean authentic Mexican. Anytime(a couple times a week, let's be honest) I have a hankering for something south of the border this is my go to. Don't be intimidated by the location, or the feeling that your possibly not supposed to be there. Best Al Pastor tacos north of Tucson. Just don't want those delicious tacos on a Monday. They are closed on Mondays

    Taco salad

    Disappointed. Went for their tacos al pastor but also made a order of carné asada and pulled pork. The tacos did not taste authentic. The taco salad was filled with Roman lettuce and the smallest spoonful of rice and beans. (It was a taco shell with lettuce). Lastly The queso was thick! Tasted like melted American cheese. Unfortunately I Didn't enjoy anything I ordered. :(

    Delicious tacos. Not trying to be gross but cow tongue taco is pretty good too. Line can be long so be prepared.

    Love it. Will go there again. They have tacos Tuesday for pastor taco, buy one get one free. Might be a wait.

    What was that? You don't go to the Hilltop for dining? Oh you, poor, poor misguided thing. The Hilltop ain't bad at all, especially when it is the taco truck capital of Columbus (probably even Ohio). Los Guachos is a great place to get your feet wet if you're new to taco trucks or street food in general. It's a very large, clean space and they have tacos al pastor just like I had in Mexico: from a spit. From there on you can choose from a selection of salsas of varying heat, including a unique soy sauce based one loaded with habaneros. God, I gotta head out there again and soon.

Here is what I got: Pad Thai Chicken | First, the pile of noodles just about to burst out from the to-go box. The flavor is just right, with topping of peanut, bean sprout, lime and some chili flake. I would definitely need to eat this on the spot next time. Lao Chicken Wings | Slightly fried chicken wings and well marinated. Crispy outer part and juicy within. Umami peek through with hint of fish sauce. Lao Sausage with Sticky Rice | The sausage is super flavorful. Mainly packed with pork with spice and vermicelli, topped with freshly chopped cilantro. The lemongrass flavor really peek through and I love it. Pair well with the sticky rice alongside and the chili paste. Thai Tea | I like their version of Thai Tea. It is less sweet than the regular one and have a hint of saltiness
