    3 Chorizo Tacos on Flour Tortillas
    Coty S.

    There are so many good tacos in Bradenton, it is too bad that I am just now getting around to reviewing them. Mr. R. is located in the dirt lot to the left of a used car lot. Every taco lover in the area, which I have spoken to, claims that Acapulco Tropical Supermarket is the best for tacos. However, there is no reason to fear the truck. Especially when they have all of their licenses posted as well as their inspection information. Mr. R. Tacos is delicious, and their carnitas are better than Acapulco. All of the tacos here are $1.25, which is some of the cheapest I have seen on a permanent menu. You can choose either flour or corn tortilla, corn being the more authentic choice. Choose the meat you want, and they add chopped onion and cilantro with a side of lime. The tortilla is about the size of your hand and contains about 4 ounces of meat (1/4 lb). Most of the choices come with a side of hot red chili sauce, unless you order the chorizo, which is already seasoned. My workmate ordered 3 Chorizo (chopped spiced pork sausage) tacos on Flour shells, and they also had a little melted cheese on top and came with some red and green hot peppers on the side. Perfectly greasy and a little salty. I ordered 2 Chicken on Corn Tortilla, and 2 Carnitas on Corn Tortilla. The chicken was mostly white meat, and was finely shredded. These did not have much oil at all and tasted very healthy with the red chili sauce added. The Carnitas were amazing, and were steamed long enough that all of the fat melted away leaving just the tender meat. Carnitas will usually leave you with large globs of fat to chew on, but there was nothing like that from Mr. R. The cilantro and lime were perfect and so was the hot chili sauce. I washed it down with a Pinapple Jarritos soda. This truck is here everyday. It is even on the goggle street view when you Google the address. They also have nachos, tortas, burritos, and I even think I saw hamburgers on the menu. Check it out! Of course, they are cash only.

    I cant get enough of this place. The food is ALWAYS fresh and ALWAYS good. The $1.50 chicken tacos are by far my favorite. They offer corn, flour, or crunchy shells. The quesadillas are full of cheese, meat, and guacamole, a pleasant upgrade from other trucks. The enchiladas are some of the best in town. If you're in the area, and looking for good food, dont hesitate to stop.

    So authentic that the only customers when I was there were local Mexican residents.

    I ordered tacos carne, pollo y pastor. They were out of cicharonnes but amazing none the less. The guy working was so nice and spoke perfect English. I found my new taco truck! Love it! Traditional Mexican and clean!

    Great tacos! I ordered 3 flour tacos. One Pastor, One Asada and one chorizo. All were fantastic. They place the meat and cheese on the tortilla to melt the cheese a little bit before serving them. with a few radish slices and lime wedges, these are really good tacos! I can't wait to go back!

    Real mexican food worth driving 20 miles for to us.

    If you want a great authentic taco or burrito in south Manatee county then you need to go to MR. R. TACOS on 15th street. My family and I love their food so much that we'll drive from 20 miles east just to pickup three burritos & six tacos, that's how good it is. If you like spicy, be sure he gives you their red sauce or green sauce for non-spicy. Suggestion, take it back to work or home to eat it's a little messy to eat in the car. Enjoy, Brett B.

    Gabe in front of mr. R's great tacos!!

    Came down for a weekend to visit my parents. Wanted a quick lunch Cuban place was closed. Love authentic Mexican and heard about all the taco trucks in the area. Found mr. R on yelp. Ordered 3 types of tacos, carne asada, al pastor, and chorizo. They were authentic and delicious, not greasy at all, prices were killer, with courteous and quick service.

    I made a visit to Mr. R yesterday for lunch. I ordered the cabasa (head) burrito. It was good but not my favorite, I am a fan of the pork. Next time I am going to try the tacos based on Coty S. review, can't wait! Can I go tomorrow?
