    Came across this taco truck because the one we always go to was closed for the day. My partner ordered a variety of tacos - el pastor, fatty beef, pork, and beef tongue. The beef tongue and el pastor were my favorites - super flavorful and delicious! The other fillings were good but not as amazing as the two. The tortilla shells were soft on half the tacos while some were so hard that it made my jaw tired from chewing. The hot sauces are very spicy- I prefer the green one over the red one. Aside from some hard taco shells in our order, I really enjoyed the flavors of the tacos overall. Would def continue to go back! Hopefully all the tacos shells will be normal texture!

    The service was fast and very friendly. The food was good the salsas were the right amount of spicy.

    I love coming down here in the area for many reasons, this being one of them. Great finds, local flavors, unexpected eye opening experiences. All of this brought together with owners treating you like family that they haven't seen in decades. You will not find a feeling like this at a big business type establishments. Taco Loco with that family inside working together offers you a home like feel with a traditional style dish. If you guys drive by here and feel standoffish because you hear a generator humming away, then you missed out . Taco Loco is a solid , guarantee to satisfy you with out breaking the bank. Ordered 3 tacos choriqueso (chorizo and cheese) carnita (pork) and a pollo (chicken) soft shell taco. All 3 were filled , heavy, meaning they are not being selfish with the meat and simply delicious . The Carnita (pork) was tender, full of spices with a flavorful rush to the senses. It literally melted in my mouth with every bite, a must order. The chicken taco another great tasting option. If you like chorizo with cheese these guys nailed it. Great tasting chorizo, a nice spicy sausage chopped and layered perfectly with the cheese holding everything in place. A blanket of deliciousness with a fresh warm tortilla enhancing this to a whole different level. All 3 for a grand total of $6.50, yes I did type that correctly without any errors. Where else can you find fresh ingredients, fresh salsas with different measures of heat? Where else can you find a truck that offers homemade traditional Mexican food with a price that can not be matched? Taco Loco with everything you have to offer you guys will be around for a while. Great flavors, great group working, delicious food, simply delicious.

    The best taco truck in the city of Philadelphia, I kid you not! I must have been here at least 3 times last week. The more taco places I ate at, the more Taco Loco stood out. The tacos here range from $2.50 to $2.75 and they load it with meat every time. My favorite was always the al pastor, their spicy pork marinated in pineapple tacos. The pork was packed with flavor and the pork fat helped caramelized the crust and crisp up the meat on the pan. The owner Carlos is just an awesome guy. He always served up my food with a smile. With the exception of maybe Blue Corn, I don't believe any other spots in the city can really compare to their al pastor tacos. Cheap eats, great service and absolutely delicious food, five stars. If you are going to order a lot however, make sure you call ahead, they are always busy so the wait can be long.

    If you have every driving on Washington Ave by Sacks Playground, you must have seen a colorful food truck parked among the cars. We often come this way to go to our favorite grocery store and ended up finally trying this place. The menu offers everything you could be craving. We ended up getting 3 tacos and a massive burrito. The meats were all different and equally flavorful. I personally recommend the carne asada and the barbacoa. Service was quick, but standing at the food truck and smelling the amazing aromas only enhanced our appetites. Make sure to try their great hot sauces as well!

    this place is absolutely delicious. I recommend any taco, they are outstanding but i usually get chicken.

    Is this the best taco I've found in Philadelphia? Yes it is! Is this the best taco I've ever had? Nope! Also: slow, slow, slow, slow, slow... Slow.

    Taco Loco brought me back to my recent trip to Cabo... I was craving some seriously good, authentic tacos and decided to try Taco Loco out. It was a winner and I will definitely be back. We got three kinds of tacos (in order of preference): pollo (chicken), chorizo (a Spanish sausage), and astada (steak). All were served, two soft corn tortillas, with a bunch pile of meat, and some simple onions and cilantro. Very authentic, very simple, very tasty. We also tried a tamale. I'm no tamale connoisseur but I thought it was awesome; very flavorful. They also have a few flavors of Jarritos soda.

    My coworkers were giving glowing reviews about Burrito Feliz and your Yelp reviews concurred, so…read moretoday I made the hike to Ludlow between 11th and 12th Streets in the hidden gem of a concrete garden patio area where they were parked from 11am to 2pm. The line was long, the sun beat down, and shade was minimal. I would have knocked a star off for the 40+ minute wait from my place in line to when I left, but the food was just too good. I went with the Birria tacos and because I wanted to try something else as I wasn't about to make the effort to search them out elsewhere, I also had the chicken nachos sans sour cream. Got back to work and the opening of the bowls was exciting. Wallah! The three Birria tacos were so delicious each packed with mucho meat and cheese. Four quarters of lime was included. The first bite was incredible. Lots of flavor, and I almost needed a bib for the juices pouring out. The chicken nachos were just as exciting to open and see the colorful beans, jalapeños, cheese, and chicken with the homemade sauce with it. The meal also came with two sauce ramekins and a styrofoam cup of jus. The line as I said was long. They take only so many orders before making them and having the rest of the line wait until those orders were done. If you're not early, you'll have to prepare to stand around for your turn. Just some excellent Mexican food for lunch today. If I saw Burrito Feliz in a food truck festival or just near me, I'm definitely going to buy my meal there. They also have drinks which a lot of people were purchasing and street corn; both of which I did not try but want to. $15 for the Birria tacos and $13 for the chicken nachos today. $28 total. Bit on the expensive side but I wanted to try more than one thing for lunch, and, I certainly didn't eat it all so I have some for dinner or lunch tomorrow!

The bar has a fantastic variety of tangy, spicy, bright toppings and salsas to make your taco your own.
