Tacos al pastor
Brennan T.

Review #24 for 2020. Great food! Taco Veloz is located in the parking lot of Standard Restaurant Supply along Fairview. Service is very nice and quick with no issues. Ordered two tacos al pastor and a carne asada super burrito, and everything tasted great. Salsa was good too! There's covered open seating, but I chose to just stand to wait for my order and took my food home to eat. Checked this place out because some friends recommended it. I'd definitely go back since the food is good, service is nice, and prices are reasonable. Can't ask for more! Happy to support a small business!

Chorizo Tacos

This might be the best taco truck in town. They are on point with those flavors and great quality.

Taco Veloz is a taco truck located right along bustling Fairview Ave. situated in the parking lot adjacent to A1Games & Pawn. They are in a prime location for a ton of drive-by traffic and even have a nice tented area with tables for dining on site. I do so love a good taco truck. That said, I didn't actually order tacos as the allure of melted cheese proved irresistible --and so, a chicken quesadilla was my order of the day. And, it was a solid quesadilla--not outstanding, lacking a bit of flavor, but overall a satisfying choice. My dining companion ordered their Carne Asada which was also reportedly good but not great. The service was top notch (the owner/chef had never heard of Yelp so we had a good time showing him all the glowing reviews that directed us here--and he seemed delighted to see them). I think, overall, given that most of the reviews center on their tacos--I need to come back and actually try their tacos. This leaves me to ponder whether or not this is sort of an instance where an unspoken rule (that shall now be spoken...or at least, written) is in order: When one dines at a taco truck--order the tacos. We'll see as I plan to go back and do just that--until then, 3 stars it is.

Tacos + beer, cant go wrong. Beer was not purchased at this location, please drink responsibly.

Great tacos!! This taco truck is on Fairview, ive always wondered if it was a legit place for tacos, after reading some reviews on yelp I had to check it out myself. I ended up getting tacos the first time, double tortillas, just the way they should be, tasty meat, from asada to lengua to carnitas, all very tasty. This may be weird, but to me the refried beans, if you get the number 1 meal you get sides of bean and rice, were the STAR of my meal, they tasted so freaking good!! Second time i had their burrito, wasnt bad, but i felt like the meat ratio was lacking. This spot has been a current stop for me since i first ate there. Ive stopped 3 times this month alone and will be visiting this taco truck many more time!

Street tacos!

Great place for authentic street tacos. I'm from Texas and I've had my share of tacos and these are some of the best I've had. Cheap too. Get the tacos al pastor.

They have moved so don't use the 6713 address... it2s 8620 Fairview ave. They are in front of Idaho Swim and Sun Shop

This place was rated #3 in the state of Idaho for tacos so of course while in Boise I had to go try it! Took some doing because the truck has moved. It's now located at 8620 W. Fairview Ave. in front of Idaho Swim and Sun Shop. Started with the Adobada and Carnitas then went back for the Pastor! The Pastor was amazing!!! Well worth the hassle to track them down!

Me and my husband love this taco stand!! I love their double tortilla tacos. The lady and her husband are super nice and sweet! Their meT is nice and juicy not crunchy or hard like at other taco stands. Definitely quality food!!

5 tacos, beans & rice ^_^

Hands down best taco truck in town!! I'm from Southern California and when I need a taste of home I come here and get the number 1 with carne asada. You can't go wrong. Affordable, fast, and very friendly service. I've been coming here religiously for about 5 years and I've never been disappointed. If you haven't, definitely eat here! (:

The burrito is perfect. Nothing fancy, just quality ingredients and good, not overwhelming flavors.

Their burritos and tacos also look amazing, and they have a really good lunch selection. We came in with a big group, but the service was quick, friendly, and well organized.

And I'm also a bit of a salsa snob. We stopped in for happy hour for the first time and started with the FREE salsa -- which, apparently, isn't always a given in Boise. It was legitimately some of the best salsa I've ever had. Then we ordered the Grande Nachos with chicken. "Grande" is not false advertising. The portion was enormous, we got completely full, and never even made it to trying anything else. I can count on three fingers the places, out of MANY attempts, where I've found truly great nachos -- and these get the #1 finger. And no, that's not the middle finger. Highly recommend everything we've had so far. We'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu. So far: winner for sure.

THEIR HIBISCUS MARGARITA THO…read more.. 4.5 stars!! Seriously the best margarita I have had so far in Boise is this restaurant's hibiscus margarita. The flavor is amazing!! We came on a Saturday night and it was busy but not overly busy, which was nice. I started the evening with their regular house margarita, which was a bit too sour for my liking so our waitress suggested ordering a flavored margarita to add sweetness. I went out of the box and ordered their hibiscus margarita and WOW I'm coming back for more!! We were disappointed in their house salsa, but we did order a ceviche appetizer which was very fresh tasting. I really appreciated all the very fresh vegetables in the ceviche. My husband ordered the steak fajitas- amazing! I ordered the veggie enchiladas on flour tortillas- amazing! I appreciated how they have a side of carne asada that you can order. It was perfect for our young son who wanted steak. Our son also appreciated the Jarritos flavored sodas. Lastly, we were disappointed in the fried ice cream as it didn't have much flavor and the melted caramel it came with tasted like goat cheese. Prices were reasonable, service was good, and restaurant was nice and clean. Yes, I'll be coming back :)

A decent Selection of lunch menu offerings, I went with Chili Verde, pork in green sauce, eithucorn tortillas. We ordered chips and salsa, interesting because it's not complimentary as in so many Mexican places, is one hotter yellow sauce with pineapple, a typical medium sauce, and a mild, plus beans were ordered. The chips were gold, house made, the yellow sauce was definitely good, would probably be great on fish tacos, but the medium red was what I preferred with chips. Lunch arrived with the obligatory "hot plate" warning meaning it had bern in the oven. As always, I started by trying the rice and beans, v both were good enough I nearly finished them before even trying the Chili Verde. What was interesting here was I wanted to use the larger than average sized corn tortillas to get every bit of the verde sauce off the plate! Something, we were too busy talking to tell, was different. I don't ever remember wanting to sop all the sauce up with the tortillas before! Would I come back, yes, there is enough that looked interesting to return.

The menu has a few things you can order from burritos, tacos, tortas and other fun items. We ordered a Carne Asada Burrito and it has rice, beans, meat of choice & lettuce and avocado it was pretty good. We got some tacos as well and not sure if she mixed up another ordered but we were short 3 tacos on our order and that was a bummer.. I was really looking forward to them. Their asada, carnitas, el pastor were all really good and authentic flavor and loved that the pastor had the pineapple chunks as well. One thing I did dislike was I asked about chips order and it said $5 when I asked her if I can just have a couple, she was a bit confused and asked the lead there. Apparently they didn't have chips in their truck and had to go find them. That should have been my no thank you but I figured ohh let's give them a try. Once we got to our house and saw the $5 chips I was honestly a bit upset they were store bought nacho chips. Tacos are $2.50 I don't understand why chips are $5 and they aren't even like your traditional Mexican chips or something along those lines. That was my only downfall to this place but those are just chips. Their food was honestly good no doubt about it when we were ordering they had a few people eating there and a few to go orders. Maybe take them off the menu or make little baggies and purchase chips from a Mexican store or make your own tostadas..
