    Service was friendly. Food hit the spot! Would definitely recommend if you're beaching it up and want something yummy and light (surprisingly)

    Order from the bus!

    Great spot for vegans! FOUR different vegan protein options that can be subbed in any of the menu items. Between the tacos and quesadilla, the quesadilla was our fav. The vegan steak was probably our favorite of the protein options, but the butternut squash medley and other vegan options were really good as well. Friendly, fast, casual, convenient, and fun atmosphere. Indoor and some outdoor seating available.

    The tacos are amazing! So many vegan options! My wife had a plant fare and a portobello, both well spiced savory and delicious. I had the plant fare and the vegan steak - both well spiced and delicious. The chips and salsa were forgettable, but the tacos more than make up for it! Great ambiance and fast friendly service!

    Here today for lunch. Party of three. My first time here. The food was just so-so. Wife enjoyed hers. Son said was alright. I'm not sure if I will return.

    Chicken quesadillas with churros

    Love this spot! Street mexican food made fresh to order and comes out quick. Had the fish tacos this time and chicken quesadillas both fantastic. Churros were cooked perfectly with a side of chocolate sauce.

    Seems strange doing a Taco Bus review after all these years. In my 35+ years here I do not remember there not being one. I started eating their tacos from a bus on Hillsborough where they originated. With the expansion to 8 locations I have eaten at a few. I love the food and always have, menus vary and change which is inevitable but good eats is a constant. I remember ordering ceviche at the original store but do not recall seeing it at other locations. My usual orders range from the tacos to burritos, tostadas, quesadilla and the cheesy fried chimichanga. Love both the red and green sauces now served at the newer locations but my favorite was a hot sauce I used to get at the original bus. It used to make my head sweat and tingle. But I have not been there in a long time. While I have tried all the proteins like chicken, shrimp, pork and beef (except the newer vegan ones), my heart is most content when I get the pork carnitas with everything including sour cream and guacamole. Love the flavor of that mojo pork. It does not hurt that pricing is great and I am always full and satisfied when done. Nowadays you can get frozen margaritas which the wife and I enjoy. I like the traditional lime and she likes the sweeter flavors of mango and strawberry. There are desserts like flan, churros and dulce de leche. I always loved the fact that their corn tortillas were made from Mexican corn and not the genetically modified monsanto American corn that contains pesticides and poisons. But, Mexico lost the fight to keep American corn out of Mexico after threats of sanctions. So, that may change if it has not already. . The location in Treasure Island is bright, colorful and cheery. The workers nice, helpful, friendly and humble. The wife, an introvert, likes chatting with them. Do not forget $2 tacos on Tuesdays and it is one of my wifes favorite places for beef empanadas. Come get ya' some!

    Bus inside building,  serving food

    Best food around!! Meat was soft, well seasoned, ordered 5 items, everything was fresh and delicious! Returned following night for more....so good!

    I'm not sure if this is the same location I visited - I can't tell - but I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The concept is really fun - a bus in a restaurant! And the menu items included gluten free, dairy free, and plant based options. I had a problem with my order and they fixed it promptly. This is a no frills place but they have some fun merch and I find it hard to believe someone could walk away w/ out finding something - they have too many options! Follow their 1-4 menu instructions for ease of ordering

    The ambiance is fun and nostalgic . the food is very good and tacos are large and stuffed for the price..service was good -order and pick up at bus/counter inside ...has cute tees for sale They also serve beer and margaritas and various delicious looking popsicles that i didn't try but will next time..had 3 corn crunchy tacos-portobello, spicy chicken and carne asada...loved all 3...rice was just ok.......will return

    Went today to Taco Bus I had heard of this place from DDD The set up is awesome The counter is literally set up like a a bus There is a place to sit inside and outside The staff there is super friendly Lots to chose from the menu that they have of extensive Mexican eats We went with a simple 3 tacos 2 grilled chicken and I had a carnita Both me and my wife shared them Soooooo delicious Muy bueno as they say Ingredients are fresh The tacos hit the spot today This is definitely a place to try for some Mexican eats

    Chimichanga, guacamole & chips
    Margarita B.

    Cute concept, fast casual. I wanted to be in love with the food but it fell a bit short. The queso was good, pico was decent but the steak was not very well seasoned and had a char taste. I also did not like the green salsa which was not mild/hot enough & the red salsa was bland basic stewed tomatoes with little to no flavor. The restaurant was very clean and staff was friendly. Service prep time was quick. Easy location to get into on beach road.

Exterior made me want to try it when it was first opened. Once inside, the interior made us definitely want to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. Bright, airy, clean, and sophisticated Mexican design. Our server was perfect-stopped by to check on us at the right intervals, made great suggestions took great care of us. I had the Cilantro Margarita it was on point! Tasty and made well. My son had the family enchilada combo meal-loved that! I had the Cowboy Brisket hard tacos. Another eyes roll back in my head meal! For both meals we chose the refried beans and rice for our sides. Will definitely recommend and visit here again-next time would like to hang at the bar for a bit as their cocktails look pretty tasty!

    The service was exemplary, we were ahead of the evening crowd and was seated within seconds…read more Our server was great! The restaurant appeared very clean and well maintained. The obligatory chips and salsa were very good and we ordered the queso which was also very good. Then the main course food arrived. The only saving grace was that the rice and black beans were very tasty and not spicy. I ordered the number 3 combination. The beef hard taco was good, however the enchiladas were so spicy that I couldn't eat them. Some type of terrible green sauce made them so hot I almost gagged. Tex mex should be spiced after serving, in my opinion, not during cooking. Traditional Mexican food is not super hot. This was so spicy it burned my throat and I sent them back after powering through.

Slow time of year, local businesses need the patronage. Ordered over the phone, nice man took the order, found out chips and salsa do not come with take out. That was a little disappointing but we added that to the order for a charge. Anyway, we ordered chicken tacos with rice and black beans and "kitchen special" with chicken and charro beans. We were told 15 minutes, it was just after 5 so I figured it wasn't busy yet, especially for a Monday in low season. I was there right on time and greeted promptly at the take out window. He told me the order wasn't ready but we could pay, so I did. I waited 5 to 10 minutes and the food came out in a big bag and drove it home. Food was plated up and we sat down to eat.... All the food was cold (barely warm to be fair)- beans, rice, tacos and kitchen special. Not even condensation on the take out packaging. The tortilla chips were warm, that's it. What was the wait for? Hard to tell if the food was actually good because it was cold. Warming in a microwave is not the same as warm fresh food, lettuce and tomatoes on tacos can't go into the microwave. We were very disappointed, dinner was $40 plus a tip, not sure if we will be back, lots of money for food not prepared properly. Food service basics- serve hot food hot and cold food cold.

The slices of onion were substancial, and the fry actually stayed on the outside so you could experience the concoction as intended. I had multiple options as a vegetarian, but selected their 'Mac Daddy' Mac and cheese. It was full of clearly real cheese, not a stack of velveeta. I appreciated the hefty cheese pull that came with each bite. My family ordered the coconut crusted mahi mahi and it was a topic of the trip hereafter. Sweet, fresh, and fully covered in the salsa as well - the dense fish was so deliciously signed sealed and delivered. The side coconut rice was not quite a suitable partner as it was quite dry - but the fries were recomendable. The service was reminiscent of European service - but we assumed the server had her hands full with other tables. Having dirty dishes from appetizers left on the table the entire meal was a surprise, but doesn't detract from the tasty food itself.

I wanted to eat outdoors or on the beach or both while the weather is fantastic and Caddy's delivered. We arrived right at 11am opening on a weekday so it was not yet busy and we could relax and chat without a scrambled, chaotic touristy scene. It's good to be a local sometimes! I've fished for grouper and it's not the easiest fish to catch. You need a boat, gas, time, expertise, experience and patience! It's a wonderful, perfect, fresh, local fish for eating though! Much respect to the local fisher-people! So, I ordered the grouper dinner, blackened. It had some nice mild seasoning on it but it's far from New Orleans style blackened. I think that style would likely be too spicy for some people. This preparation was safe. The rice was fine and the veggies were not overcooked. Parking at 11am was easy with valet or lot across the street options. Parking does fill up and reportedly, can be a significant challenge during peak hours. Life is good with lunch on a beach with a nice breeze!
