    4 Al Pastor, 1 Carne Asada Taco

    5 tacos, all for around $14. Mouthful of meat on each bite, flavorful. Would return for more tacos on a scale of great quality and taste. Recommend the red sauce good amount of enhanced heat.

    First time checking this place out for my girls to get their carnitas quota for the week. The reviews looks great and I remembered seeing the place when we got food from around the corner. Nice little outside eating space with 5 tables. We ordered the carnitas plate and an asada burrito supreme. We got home and plated it up. The carnitas had a really good taste but was a little greasy. The beans and rice were both really good. The asada burrito was good but not a lot of meat. The staff was friendly and wore masks. I'm curious about their tacos and other meat options and if we were to return we'd try something else. Nice place but this would not go on our must have list.

    Hands down the best food cart I've ever been to. Super yummy tacos. warm, soft, steamy goodness and very inexpensive. The breakfast burrito is also delicious - I've never had one with potatoes in it before and it really hit the spot! Also, the people are nice, service is good and the picnic table area is old-school comfy!

    Delicious food, very fast. Used to come here when I was a college student. Happy to see they're still here! Highly recommend! Never judge a book by its cover! Thank you, Taco Express :)

    Chicken and beef taco

    Ordered a chicken taco and a beef taco just for snacks. $2 each. Loved the beef taco as it was more juicy and flavorful than the chicken one. Would definitely come back for more beef tacos in the future.

    This was truly a culinary experience. Coming from Maui I'm used to paying $4 per taco. Also, when I stumbled across a taco truck adjacent to the eastmoreland golf course and reed college I was as skeptical as much as I'm a part time keto bro who crushes claws on the reg. But I must say, this place blew me away. The lengua and cabeza tacos tasted as though they had just butchered the cow in the parking lot and marinated it for 3 days in the 5 star hotel in flavor town. These were perfect tacos, I could eat these all day every day. And give. That this place is such a bargain I opted to grab the torta Cubana as well. I had no idea of what was inside when I ordered, but oh boy was it a pleasant surprise. It's like when you search through your couch cushions and find $600 and that rope chain you forgot about. The torta was bursting with all sorts of meats, I had no idea what I was eating but good night it was delicious. 10/10 would return.

    Food is very tasty. The tacos are inexpensive but not very big so be sure to order more than you would normally. We tried the al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, lengua, pollo, and chorizo and the al pastor was the crowd favorite. My wife got a burrito and it was very tasty too. There is a brewery next door so we went there to eat and try beer.

    These tacos will change your life

    One day I didn't budget my time properly so I was looking for lunch that wasn't fast food that I…read morecould eat in the car. Fish and chips to the rescue. I got the cod. It had a panko crust which sometimes I prefer to batter. They were a little bit salty for my taste but ever since I got COVID lots of things have tasted salty so take that with a grain of salt I'm not a tartar sauce guy but this is some great sauce. I feel like later I got a piece of tarragon(?) out of my teeth and reminded me of the herby yummy sauce. I scoffed at first at the chips. Very non uniformly cut but surprisingly all well cooked. I don't know if it's they type of potato but the skin was really off putting. But solid toothsome chips that a splash of vinegar helps a lot. If I end up in a similar position again I'll definitely consider coming back.

I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine. Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!

Homemade tortillas, the birria was beef but very well seasoned and juicy. The lengua has some nice crispy edges to the cubed meat. Overall cook on lengua was good. The carnitas were not the typical hard, fried, dry pork. Had some nice fatty pieces. Both red and green salsa were very well blended and creamy.

    My perfect Mexican meal is usually chile rellenos. Nachos are a close second. However, I saw…read moresomeone walk by with a plate of flautas from Mole Mole and had to try them. Anytime we go to the Mississippi Marketplace, I always get flautas at Mole Mole. They are a feast for the eyes and palate. These are the best flautas I've had so far in the area. The staff is always friendly, the service is prompt, and orders come out quickly and are plated so beautifully they *must* be photographed every time. I'm a creature of habit so I could order flautas here forever, but I promised myself I would try the chile relleno next time we go. Wish me luck! We love the casual vibe. It's comfy, there's usually a place to sit, but it can get packed when the weather is good. The space is welcoming and offers opportunities to chat with others if you want. It's a great space that fosters community.

    It was payday, my Friday, and my plans to make spaghetti carbonara were foiled by frozen bacon (…read moreoops) and a mountain of dirty dishes ( not. my. job.) and my freakin' exhaustion. Teen wanted boba, and we decided to order Mediterranean from this place which also strangely sells boba. Yes, I rewarded the chore avoidance. Sue me. I worked four tens, all week my mental health clients were stressed and distressed, and I was honestly a lump. We both ordered a Moroccan stewed chicken that comes with saffron rice, salad, and three spicy sauces - one yogurt and maybe sumac? , one sriracha, and one yogurt mixed with sriracha maybe? We liked the rice, chicken, salad, and the yogurt sauce. Just ok though. Not omg good. I wish the two other sauces had been in separate containers and not on the rice. My mint and honey tea was fine. Kid's boba was not full. Not because it spilled either, because it was sealed with the boba seal lid thingy. For $6 that was disappointing. The hummus and dolmades plate came with one sad not good pita, ONE, and I think our Uber eats driver flung it out the window like kids used to deliver newspapers from their bikes because yogurt sauce was freaking everywhere. The hummus was not great. Teen ( the dolmades fan) said the grape leaves were good. Probably not a repeat in store. One and done.

    Ok. Ordered a chicken gyro for $14 then he charged me $15.40. When I asked what the extra $1.40…read more was for he said it was a fee for using my card. The gyro was 2 out 5. Very dishonest food cart.
