The Mexican food truck scene is booming in Burque all with their own unique foods to offer. I recently stopped by the Taco Bus which is literally a bus turned into a food truck. Since their business name includes "taco" I had to try them out. I have to say that their tacos are very good with my favorite being the tripitas. I was also curious about their burgers since those seem to be an item that people get. I ordered the monster burger which is a Mexican style burger loaded with all kinds of goodies including winnies and ham. My description of it doesn't do it justice so take a look at my pics. Their tacos are very good but you also need to try one of their burgers, especially if you have a monster appetite. read more

What a fun concept having Mexican food served off of a school bus! The guys working the counter were really fun and seemed very passionate about their food. My husband and I were super excited to try them, this was our first meal out of a bus! The goat birria is to die for! We ordered it in a burrito and next time we will get it in tacos with consume. If the birria is this amazing without consume, I can't imagine with it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos were also yummy and very fresh. It is just that the birria was so amazing! After you order at the counter (or you can call ahead to order) they give you a buzzer so you know when the food is ready. We came on a weeknight and they were pretty busy. read more

Decided on this place late at work for my lunch and wasn't disappointed! I got a pork adobada quesadilla with grilled onions and grilled jalapeños mixed in. It was perfectly cooked. Crispy tortilla on the outside and the inside the pork was marinated perfectly with a good amount of melted cheese. It was soooo delish! I'll try the tacos next time. I'm super happy with my choice this time though! read more

Was really craving tacos and this place did not disappoint! We also had the Birria tacos, made with goat and OMG so yummy! My pic of them didn't save but trust me you won't be disappointed. The Cebaza was tender and delicious as well. They give you red and green sauce and the green was by far our favorite, adds just the perfect flavor. We brought home the Pastor quesadilla, so can't wait to try it! The gentlemen that work there are very friendly and helpful with deciding what to try. We ate inside "The Bus" and it has a cool vibe, they did a good job providing a few booths so you can eat immediately and not have to eat in your car. We'll definitely be back and try the Torta's and Burgers. read more

Simple authentic Mexican street tacos at one of the best values in town. They cook the meat perfectly to give you exactly what you'd expected, plus their salsa is on point. Lots of choices to pick from, so you should find something you would like easily enough. No surprises, but plenty of flavor. The TacoBus is pretty unique in that they have the kitchen and order window up front, with indoor seating in the back for guests. They haven't increased their prices as much as everyone else (yet), so it's still a great deal. read more

Did not like anything - small/ no flavor/ dry and I was expecting some flavor at least. I even got everything on the side so I can eat it back to my hotel. Not worth it. The fries are the really thin ones plus over priced too. 1st n last time. read more

Late review. Our order: pineapple marinated pastor, cabeza, lamb soup (don't recall the name, not pictured) and octopus fries (made with sausages). We arrived late to Albuquerque. At the time, most businesses closed at 10pm. This was one of the only restaurants that was serving until 11:30pm and we arrived shy of 11:15pm. Truly the best tacos I've ever had. TacoBus made me understand for the first time what a craving for tacos feels like. Could not stop gobbling down the food even though my mouth was on fire from the (green, my preference) chilies. My absolute favorite was the lamb soup. The best cure to frigid highland winds: tender meat, tang and spice rolled in a comfy blanket wrapped around your tummy. Have been searching for something similar since we got back to the Bay Area and still haven't found it. TacoBus set the tone for the rest of our adventures with New Mexican cuisine and it was definitely a highlight of our trip. Unfortunately, we didn't get to dine inside, would have been cool! It is situated in a mildly sketchy neighborhood, they give you a buzzer after you order and you can wait in your car. read more

We looked up taco places in Albuquerque and came across TacoBus, decided to check it out and liked it! The food was made relatively quickly and tasted good! I got half asada and half pastor, I feel like the tacos could have had a little more filling but overall I was happy with it! read more

The Taco Bus was recommended by the office manager of the hotel we were staying in. It was late and the food truck was open, so we decided to give it a try. We honestly regret giving it a try. The food was okay. We had a chicken burrito, chicken quesadilla and the asada tacos. The chicken was flavorless and greasy and the tacos were fine but the red hot sauce was so hot that it ruined the meal for me and I eat hot sauce with everything! So disappointing and we love to eat local, but I would pass up The Taco Bus during your visit. read more

We tried the carne asada tacos, chicken quesadillas and tortas. The tacos, quesadillas and green salsa were mid. The torta had an odd taste, like the bread was old or something. The service was good as far as food trucks are concerned. Prices were kind of off for the portion size they give you. I probably won't be coming back. read more

Holy shit, bro. I had the "Taco Bus Burger," and it was an entire spiritual experience. The burger itself is a Super Chonk, one of the biggest burgers you've ever seen. You'll need at least two hands to then cradle it like a baby Simba, into your mouth. Then your mouth will EXPLODE! with killer flavor, a cascade of the most perfect toppings, and !!!fried weennies!!! Bruh. If you think you're ready for this, I'm here to say that you're probably not. The Taco Bus Burger transformed my existence. I URGE YOU TO VISIT YOUR LOCAL SOUTH VALLEY - RIGHT NOW - AND GET YOURSELF A TACOBUS BURGER. 10/10 Bussin'. read more

When you are from California it is really hard to beat our Mexican food there. I will say the hot sauce wasn't bad.

Ive driven past this bus several times and finally decided to try after reading raving reviews. Pretty spot-on with 5-stars, for the quality and price. This is traditional Mexican NOT New Mexican cuisine. We tried the Fuego Burger, asada quesadillas, asada tacos, al pastor tacos, and french fries. Our favorites were the fuego burger, quesadillas, and fries. Be warned, the fuego burger lives up to its name, IT IS HOT!!!! The bus has been there for approx. 3.5 years, family-owned by family from Guadalajara, MX, so pretty damn authentic! read more

Top notch service on a city bus with authentic Mexican food. It doesn't get any better than this, the staff is friendly and accommodating, the bus itself is super fun to lounge in while you wait for your food. And the bus itself makes the experience.

A little skeptical when we drove by but glad we stop and gave it a shoot. The coolest part was being able to sit at a table inside the bus. We orders some asada tacos and a burger. The taco were good and the burger (being their smallest) was huge!!! This is definitely a must try if you're in the area. read more

Late evening GrubHub order while visiting Albuquerque and I have to say I have eaten at several taquerias in Albuquerque since I have been here and the chicken and asada tacos where excellent the red salsa will set you fire (very tasty) the green salsa is mild but has an excellent flavor (I usually don't like green salsa) this will be my go to for street taco for the rest of my stay. read more

I've lived in Los Angeles 95% of my life. I never thought I'd find better Mexican food, but here we are. Maybe it's the way the meat is made to order. Maybe it's the tortillas, which aren't your standard dry value-pack variety. They didn't have beans, which bummed me out, but they get 5 stars anyway because it tasted good. Bring cash if you can, there's a discount. read more

Great spot. We got the goat birria, pineapple marinated pastor, lamb barbacoa, & the asada tacos. These were all delicious. The pastor was amazing. Going to have to go back and try the burgers. They looked delicious. Make sure you get both green and red salsas...yum. read more

We ordered taco bus burger with no bacon (no pork) and lamb tacos. The tacos were great! First time I tried them with lamb The burger on the other hand, was good, until we noticed that it had winnies which I'm pretty sure they were pork, we asked the server and he said they were mixed the Winnie's were made with chicken and beef... it did not have bacon. We ordered the burger with no pork because my boyfriend is Muslim and he cannot eat pork. The bus experience was unique, people seemed friendly, however, I will not come back due to the fact that they made this mistake instead of apologizing they said it did not have pork. Which I don't believe. If any of you guys want to give this place a try, go ahead. It looked decent and they did have a crowd. read more

This establishment has to be one of my favorite taco places in Albuquerque. I come here at least twice a month. I love the food here. The menu is easy to understand, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. I usually order about half the menu when I come here. My order consist of an order of asada tacos, a torta of ham and cheese, and lastly but not least a cheesy quesadilla. The salsas are spicy and delicious to a degree that compliments the food. I highly recommend this place. read more

So seriously... Its a taco bus. That's a great start! And their burgers are fantastic. The TacoBus burger has 12 ingredients, everything from the standards to hot dogs to pineapple and jalapenos.

I always thought I wanted to be cremated when my time's up, but I think I might just have to be buried with a double order of Al Pastor tacos to accompany me into the afterlife. They're that damn good. TacoBus has the sabór you're looking for, served up in a dern quirky atmosphere by a warm, friendly family. You and your friends will get a kick out of eating on a bus. The kick to your taste buds, however, is what makes the trip to West Central really worthwhile. Support these folks, they deserve it. The lamb Barbacoa might just transport you to an ethereal plane. read more

Food is great and cheap. Lots of choices too. Was my second night there. Got a variety of four tacos for 8.58 with tax. Hard to beat that. And the bus has great air conditioning and the seats are more comfortable than most sits down restaurants so it's a nice place to escape the heat. But let's be honest, you're coming because you've got the drunk munchies, aren't you? Im sure you'll be welcomed with open arms ;) I had Asada, Pastor, Goat and Lamb tacos. Each was delicious and had just the right amount of heat. This may be may "I don't feel like cooking tonight" place for a while. read more

The taco bus is a very fun restaurant to eat at! While it's parked in a a somewhat sketchy area, it definitely adds to the experience! The tacos are incredible. My favorites were the carne asada tacos and I would definitely come back sometime soon. Service is always friendly and quick, especially since the bus is so small and the setting is much more relaxed and intimate. The waiter can't really run off too far so it's always easy if you need to ask for something or bring something to their attention. If you're looking for a nice late night place to eat, I really recommend the taco bus! read more
