    Al pastor tacos
    Stephanie D.

    Second time visiting ranchero tacos and the tacos did not disappoint! The first time I ordered the chicken flautas which were 10/10. I finally got around to revisiting and trying out the tacos. The Al pastor is SO flavorful and I enjoyed the chunks of pineapple. The salsa verde is great with just the right amount of spice. Looking forward to trying out their other tacos. Only callout was that it was a bit pricier than I remembered.. 2 al pastor tacos rang in at about $3.25 each (don't quote me on this). I believe they used to be $2.50, but with prices going up everywhere this isn't a surprise. Totally worth the spend!! Highly recommend for street tacos.

    Wow what an unexpected surprise! We've been searching for local tacos that compare to authentic street style and these were it! Got 2 carne asada, 2 al pastor and 2 pollo. The al pastor blew them out of the way!!!! Try those and the pollo please - carne was okay still on the search for the best asada taco in Tampa. Also hardly no wait and the verde salsa had a kick but we loaded it on with limes of course! Keep up the good work!

    Finally!!! A delicious taco spot in the heights area. On this visit, I ordered 2 tacos at $3.25 each. One al pastor (marinated pork and pineapple) and one carnitas (pulled pork). I also ordered a carnitas torta and a large hibiscus tea (Jamaica). Everything totaled about $20 and it was some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while. Given that they are a small food truck, the food they do make out of the space, is really good. They were pretty fast in getting the food out. There are quite a bit taco trucks with better food than the sit down restaurants. This place is definitely up there are some of the best in the Tampa area.

    THE BEST tacos I've had in tampa! I can't believe I haven't tried them before, but I've been telling all my friends to go because of how fresh and flavorful the food was.

    Five stars for this wonderful taco place when I typed it into maps it kind of stopped in the middle of the road, but I was able to park across the street and easily cross into their lot. It's a small lot on an awkward corner but it was still easy to spot. I ordered a Carnita quesadilla. It was so good and I will definitely be back for the tacos. The selection was great & they had jaritos for sale which is a staple. Can't wait to be back!

    Great place for a quick bite to eat. These tacos were incredible along with a side of chips and guacamole will definitely recommend to anyone in the area ! Also the service was welcoming and had a great atmosphere to stay and eat or take on the go.

    This place is the real deal! I've tried just about every taco place in Tampa and this is by far my favorite. The meat is perfectly seasoned/cooked, the taco shells are not soggy and they don't fall apart. Try the al pastor and the carnitas... they're some of the best in the area!

    3.5 stars, but rounded up because the young lady that took my order was so friendly and helpful. I stopped by on the way home because I was craving Mexican food, and I had been reading about this place on social media. I actually drove by it at first, because the food truck is set back off of Nebraska Ave, surrounded by a metal fence. Once you pull in the fence, there is a nice amount of parking. I walked up and placed my order after perusing the menu on the side of the truck. I ordered 2 sopes (one al pastor, one chicken), and 2 tacos (one chicken, one chorizo). Food took about 15 minutes to be prepared, which was actually a little longer than expected, since I was the only client. The person actually said "sorry for the wait" when she handed me my food. When I got home, I dug in. The sopes were beautifully presented, however, I wish they had more flavor. I also did not love the fried shell they were on - way too thick and hard to cut/break. I did love the one taco I tried, though. Chock full of chicken and surprisingly, pineapple chunks - it was delicious. Cute place, plenty of parking, and decent food - I will definitely be back to try the other options on their menu.

    Was having trouble finding somewhere to grab dinner...nothing sounded too appealing, so I jumped on…read moreYelp and found the Loli's Tacos was highly recommended and had a lot of reviews. Ok, this is where I'll grab some food. Popped in and was quickly greeted, as I looked over the menu at the counter the girl stepped up and asked if she could help me, she gave me a few recommendations. I went with a couple different tacos, a pork tamale and a bag of chips. I have to apologize, I almost always take pictures of the food before shoveling it into my mouth, but I was hungry and this looked delicious. I pictures. The reviews weee unquestionably correct and this place is incredible. My favorite (which was difficult to pick just one) was the Campechano taco...the flavor was out of this world. I had a steak taco and the pork tamale...absolutely incredible. I hate to rave about something without some sort of criticism...nothing can be perfect right? Well, the food was spot on, don't change a thing. My only small poke would have been that the bottled Coke was cold, but not ice cold...and if that's the most negative thing you can say, well then...this place is a 10 out of 10. I highly recommend...I just wish I lived in the area to enjoy it more often! Tampa, you're lucky to have a place this great!

They have some standard dishes you'd…read moreexpect but it's prepared so much better with fresh ingredients and modifications that really elevate the dish. For example, nachos with chicken where it's grilled tender and flavorful, and not pulled or dry like others. The meats in the tacos are always full of flavor and the right consistency. My very favorite taco is surprisingly the sweet potato one though. It's an explosion of flavor and medley of textures. Service is always wonderful and the bartenders friendly. I love how casual and clean the restaurant is too.

The server was not attentive, we ordered drinks and never got asked if we wanted more after finishing our first which we wanted to try more options or came back to check on us. We also never got a refill on water and the food was NEVER removed from our table even with dessert ordered for the bday. We just had a dirty table throughout which is a first for a bib (Michelin Guide) restaurant that I have been to. Dessert was just dropped off and walked away after ordering it 1 minute before. Very dissatisfied with the meal and experience especially because my grandmother came to treat me and this was not worth her money, was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday.
