Unassuming little taqueria food truck permanently parked here turns out AMAZING AUTHENTIC TACOS - and the locals seem to know it. We follow the locals - we saw nuns from a nearby shrine eating here and, so shall we! They open at 6am and do A LOT of breakfast taco business, and close at 1pm to catch the lunch crowd. Picnic tables are scattered around for seating, and cold drinks in the fridge by the order window. I had the Street Taco Plate, which comes with 5 street tacos with 2 choices of meat. I chose barbacoa and carne al pastor, two of my barometers for a good taqueria. Both meats were delicious - the barbacoa was meltingly tender and moist - very slightly flavored with cinnamon and maybe allspice? Anyway - definitely get the barbacoa. Same advice for the carne al pastor - delicious marinated pork crisped on the flattop and generously spooned into doubled corn street taco tortillas - Add onion and cilantro, a spritz of lime and a little of either the red or green house salsa and ascend to taco heaven. My husband got the crispy taco plate - 2 crispy corn-shell tacos, one with carnitas and the other with carne al pastor. Carnitas were tender and so so porky and delicious - another excellent meat choice if you come. Both plates are served with homestyle Mexican rice and refried beans. Their meat choices are: pollo (stewed chicken), carne asada (beef steak), chicharron, carne al pastor, carnitas (roast pork) and Barbacoa. Picadillo (ground beef stew) and Carne Guisada (beef chile stew). 5 comida autentica como en su casa stars!! read more

Awesome breakfast burritos. Love that I can text my order, get a reply and how long before pickup.

The best of the best! Seriously the best tacos in the area. Also they are super friendly, you can tell they really care about their customers and quality of food read more

This is a food truck that serves authentic Mexican food of excellent quality. But it is a morning-only operation, so get there before one to have lunch. read more

Fast, affordable and awesome. Red salsa has a slight kick to it. 100% best tacos in town. They even give you a buzzer so you can sit in your car read more

Friendly owner, delicious breakfast tacos with homemade flour tortillas! I wish I lived here and I'd be a regular!

Excellent service! We called in an order for the breakfast tacos and it was ready when we got there in less than 10 min. The service was so friendly and nice it really stood out. The tacos were filled up to the brim and very yummy. The green and red salsas were enjoyed by my husband who liked that extra spicy flavor they brought to his taco. The green was more spicy than the red. read more

Tacos Don Chente - Chicken Burrito was delicious!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Canyon Lake, Texas

I was down from Alaska visiting family for the Mother's Day weekend and drove past this gem. Saturday morning we went down and ordered six breakfast tacos, and two combo burritos. He advised us that it would be a 30 min wait; this was completely fine since the stand was busy. The stand has a paging system so you can sit at tables or in your car and wait. 30 min on the dot we got our food and headed off. They supplied an amazing salsa verde to go with our order, and the food was still smoking hot when we got back to the house. By far the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! And from what I hear the tacos were simple yet amazing as well. Especially for the price we paid Back down here again on 05/29/21 and had to stop. Once again the food was amazing! read more

Tacos Don Chente - My boy inhaled that breakfast taco. - Food Trucks Near Me - Canyon Lake, Texas

Delish!! Bean and cheese torta was delicious! Comparable to any Mexican restaurant. Beans were perfectly smooth and cheese was soft and tasty. Torta was not doughy but crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Barbacoa taco was all meat and came with cilantro and onion! Best of the last 4 barbacoa tacos I've had in San Antonio. Potato and egg tacos, while good, were comparable to any Mexican food establishment. I think now we are making a point to return every time we're in the neighborhood! read more

The place is extremely simple, it's like one of those places that in Puerto Rico call us chinchorro, it is a place where you make a classic stop because when you know the place and this is on your route you have to make a stop, you have to do it, stop and buy something well They have a flavor in the food that, as I mentioned, makes it inevitable not to stop. I recommend them and especially the green sauce that wahoo is tremendous. Just visit it and tell me your experience...!!! read more

Unassuming but outstanding food! The street taco plate is the go to dish and it is wonderful. All the food is extremely fresh and the service excellent. Definitely check them out and grab some food! read more

Spicy salsa--yes. Homemade tortillas--yes. Bestest tacos--Yaaasss!! This taco stand is totally legit! We ordered one carne guisada taco, one carnitas, one chicken crispy taco & one egg/chorizo/bacon burrito so we could taste a variety. The guisado taco was the bomb!! They use a heavenly stewed meat that melted in my mouth. You could definitely tell it was slow cooked for many hours. In fact, all the meats we tasted (even the chicken) were seasoned perfectly. The breakfast burrito was a tad dry, but it was fine once we added hot sauce. The green & red hot sauce were the best part. Spicy, just how we like it. But, keep in mind it's an outdoor food truck so if you are squeamish about cleanliness in the pick up window area this is probably not for you. ACCESSIBILITY: Noooo! I love this place, but I will often have to send hubby over to pick up. Parking spots are close by & not a long walk, which is a huge plus. But, the front of the food truck is mostly large gravel so not very cane-friendly or wheelchair accessible. On the plus side, there are a few stools & picnic tables so you don't have to stand while waiting for food. But, not very comfortable so we usually eat in the car. read more

The food is always great. Long time customer of this food truck. Love asada tacos and Tacos Don Chente is the only place I can get them not greasy and lean meat. Definitely worth the try! read more

Great breakfast burritos. Look like most people call ahead and pick up. They are big so good to share.

Great roadside taco joint. Fresh food at fair prices. The breakfast tacos are really good.

My favorite on the go breakfast is the Asada con Nopal burrito all the way. It is a glorious thing. I really need to try other things on the menu but that burrito makes me order it every time it is so good, and so filling. Great people, great food - got some when you get the chance! read more

This is very good Mexican food with a great menu. The interactions are cordial. The pricing is very competitive

**ALERT** BEST TACOS EVER **ALERT** Can't say enough about this place. I have had nothing but fantastic experiences from this taco truck. I highly recommend if you are needing to stop for a quick breakfast pick-up, this is your place. Although, everyone else knows how amazing their tacos are also, so be prepared to wait if there is a line. However, it is the most cost-friendly breakfast option around in this area and if you have a large family like me; you definitely will fall in love with this place. I appreciate how friendly the people are running the truck and how they're trying their hardest to get orders out as fast as possible. This is another place that I genuinely LOVE how they triple-check the order before handing you your bag of tacos. I have always gotten my tacos exactly how I ordered them and there's never ever been an issue. Check em out!!!! read more

Amazing tacos! I visited Tacos Don Chente twice during my visit to Texas Hill Country and it was my favorite place during the trip. Atmosphere: Located directly off the main road. Plenty of parking. They had 3 picnic tables under a large tree. Some were shaded. Food: Before we ordered we were told there would be a 15-20 wait. It was definitely worth the wait and the food was super fresh. I ordered the street taco lunch plate, which comes with 5 tacos and rice and beans for $9.99. I also ordered Topochico.The meal was super filling. I tried the chorizo breakfast taco, asada, and barbacoa. The barbacoa was my favorite. Cilantro, onions and lime come of the side of the tacos. They were also served with green and red salsa on the side. The green was spicy and added a great kick to the tacos. The rice and beans helped bring down the heat in between bites. read more

Small taco trailer in Sattler serving up some of the best tacos anywhere. Ordered a bacon, egg and cheese, as well as a carnitas taco with cilantro and onion. Took about three minutes for them to be ready. Absolutely hot and delicious. Had to wait a while for the BE&C to cool. The carnitas was so good with a squeeze of lime. Not greasy at all...perfect crunchy carnitas. See photos. If you are in Sattler, floating the river or whatever, do yourself a favor and get some of the best tacos you will ever have! read more

We have lived in this area for 2 years, and Don Chente Mexican food is the best around! This is a food truck that is in a permanent spot with picnic tables outside for some seating. Prices and portions cannot be beat! Breakfast burritos are huge - we usually share one. Taco are delicious as well. Friendly people and excellent prices! This is a "must stop at" place for all who are in the area! read more

Excellent taco stand! The Barbacoa was excellent. My wife had the Don Chente special and it was great as well. The salsa verde stole the show. Gotta figure out that recipe. read more

Tacos Don Chente - Food Trucks Near Me - Canyon Lake, Texas

Absolutely delicious tacos from a little truck on the side of the road. We got bacon egg and cheese, barbacoa, and pastor. Fantastic!! The tortillas were so soft and perfectly toasted . Literally the best taco al pastor I have ever had! You just pull off the road and park. They have 2 picnic tables out back or you can take them to go. They do accept credit cards. 2 coolers of can sodas if you need a drink. It's obviously a local favorite because after we ordered 5 cars pulled up. Hardly any way for breakfast to be served. So great! Go check them out! read more

Everytime I have had this place it's been beyond filling and delicious. Best chorizo egg and cheese I've had.

The absolute best tacos and service in Canyon Lake and everyone I meet says the same! We love Don Chente and eat here regularly!

I have passed this little red stand so many times and never stopped until yesterday morning. Ordered 3 carne asada tacos with cheese, a crispy taco and a regular beef taco. Everything was delicious. Tacos were made to order, hot and fresh. No skipping on meat and cheese either. They were filled up and yummy. So glad this is right up the street from my house. Want to try the bean and cheese torta next as i was told it was amazing as well. read more

This place is BOMB! There's usually a line waiting for their Togo orders, but it's worth it. Thank you, Stacy B for taking a pic of your crispy chicken taco! It's my new favorite. We've gotten breakfast or lunch here so many times, I can't even count. We love the green salsa, and I appreciate the limes with a roasty, toasty torreado (jalepeno). Terry always gets a Mexican Coke, and that just seem to make the experience more fun. They have Topo for me, so we're both happy campers. See ya soon, Don Chente! read more

Good priced. Local & easy access. A lot of egg, little bacon, and potato. Green sauce is just heat no flavor. Only limited to 3 toppings. & the eggs over power the extra toppings you pay for. #MakeItMakeSense read more

If you are looking for friendly, fast, and tasty breakfast tacos, look no further. Tacos Don Chente is the place to go. We stumbled upon this place during a quick trip to Canyon Lake.

Best tacos around. Yummy. Definitely stop here for breakfast tacos when you are in the area!

Great, authentic, home cooked Mexican food. Frequently get the carne asada, carne guisada tacos, enchiladas and plain old chalupas. Prices are very reasonable service is always friendly and food fresh cooked, wish they were open later for after work. read more

Really good chorizo and potato tacos. Friendly service and pager to let you know when it is ready. Good prices too.

The asada burrito is AMAZING! I was skeptical at first but I'm glad I stopped. They stay busy but it's worth the wait!

Great food and service at a great price! I go to Mexico for work once a month and this place has really great food!
