Why 5 stars? Because I really enjoyed these tacos despite extenuating circumstances.

Months ago, I heard the owner of Bar-A-BBQ mention Solo Tacos on some YouTube video, when he was asked about his favorite restaurants in Montgomery, other than his own shop. They did not even have a Yelp page, but Bar A is great, so I knew Solo must be pretty good for him for mention it. I followed them on Instagram and gave them at least a half hearted consideration to visit nearly every weekend since then.
Finally, on this day, I decided to do a little taco truck food crawl and try three different places. I hit up the other two at lunch, and really didn't feel like getting back in the car to drive there, so when I saw they were on Uber Eats, I was never so happy to pay the delivery fee in my life. See, the weekend prior, I drove all the way there, only to learn that they had to close early that day. There was no phone number to call to confirm that history would not be repeating itself, so Uber Eats seemed like such an easy choice.
Anyway, despite that early closure annoyance from the week earlier, and despite the fact that I did not get these tacos fresh off the grill, they were awesome. Of the three taco trucks I patronized on this day, they were the best.
I went with Beef, Carnitas and Al Pastor. The Al Pastor were fine, but the other two were excellent. I even added an avocado and cheese to the beef and that was an excellent decision. I also added grilled onions to all of them, which was another big win. The beef ended up being my favorite.
I'd love to come back again and eat it on site. I'd also love to try a burrito. But today was taco crawl day. For research. And my findings were that Solo Tacos wins the gold medal. read more
