Food was plentiful and cheap. I had two burritos and two quesadillas to get a bit of everything. Asada burrito was my fav. Shrimp quesadilla was utterly forgettable. Birria was good. Pastor was okay, very salty for no reason. They did not skimp on the meat! I grew up in Florida and my bar for Hispanic food is sky high. This is good food but I wasn't blown away like the reviews led me to believe lol read more

My whole family loves this place! Although the corn tacos are only $2.50 each, the portions are so generous, I can't finish three; even two can be a lot with a beverage. My vegetarian teenage son was unable to finish his bean and cheese burrito ($10). How often do you fill up a teenager? It's an especially happy day when we see the handmade card taped to the order window, "Hoy se vende carnitas"; it's spectacular. The condiments are in large squeeze bottles on a cart, and there's also pickled onions, and freshly sliced radishes to cut the richness of the meat. I think my favorite part of the plate is the charred, grilled serrano pepper. It's so good, tears are rolling down my face as I take another spicy bite! read more

We had this food truck at the Michigan State Fair grounds. I liked that unlike the other vendors, they did not charge for me to use my credit card. The people working were nice.I liked the variety of tacos and food they had on the menu. We got a birria taco. It was $5. It has a nice amount of beef and it tasted pretty good. They had some salsa and sour cream which is a bonus. I have never seen a food truck or restaurant have sour cream to add on your own. Nice! The problem was that it said birria, but there was no sauce on top, it was dry, no cheese, and very small for the price. We ate it in three bites. read more

Absolutely fantastic!!!! Had a last minute event need for a food truck and they came out the next day! Extremely kind, responsive, prompt and easy to work with! Not to mention the food was phenomenal! Highly recommend for your party or event read more

Always good never a time where it wasn't. I definitely recommend this taco truck. Checking out if you're in that area.

I stumbled across this place by accident and I am so happy that I did! I was driving through Mexicantown and I saw a line of people ordering tacos at this food truck and I knew I had to see what the hype was about. I ordered the pastor and chorizo taco, both of which were phenomenal and loaded! For $2.50 tacos, you can beat this spot! They have a salsa bar off to the side and the avocado salsa was definitely my favorite. There are a lot of taco food trucks out there and this is one you need to stop at!

Came here for dinner on sunday night with my fiance. There was one person in front of us. This is a food truck juat off 75 with a private parking lot. We ordered tripas (tripe), lengua (beef tongue), and cabeza (beef head). Also ordered a horchata and it only.comes in pne size small. Tacos were good but it is wrapped in foil so be prepared if you are eating this in your car. They have a few tables to eat under the tent. After enjoying our tacos we got elotes and fruit (mango and papaya) with chamoy in the little truck behind this taco truck in the same lot. No photos of tacos because we were so hungry read more

This place is awesome! I've been looking to find good Carne Asada tacos ever since I've left LA and this place is one of my new go-to spots!

The best chicken quesadillas known to mankind!! The shrimp tacos and tostadas are also out of this world! They do call in orders, walk up window, and drive through pickup window. All of this from a food truck!!! Lastly, there's a fruit trailer also owned/operated by them that is a must try as well.......please go see for yourself! read more

Absolutely love the vibe service and FOOOOOD!!! A go to for me is the shrimp tacos!! If you ever want variety and something filling and delicious definitely recommend coming here! read more

The tostada didn't have all the ingredients on it. The rice was like a box rice that white people be making in a microwave. An food was not that great an was expensive read more

Best tacos, i love that they give the option of cheese and they melt it between the corn tortillas. They have Horchata which is bomb.! and they also have a fruit stand behind the truck.!!!!! The sauces are good and they always have a smile on their faces. read more

So delicious. I've travelled extensively in Mexico and lived on the border. These are legit authentic.

Authentic tacos. I Always get chicken or steak, with just cilantro, onion, limes, and green sauce. There's also a fruit stand behind the food truck with fresh fruit and corn elote. read more

Nice set-up on Springwells, great chicken and al pastor tacos, toothpicks! Halfway down Springwells you'll find Tacos El Caballo, parked alongside a residential house in a big gravel parking lot. The pastor tacos are superb, and the chicken is nice - I'm fairly certain they're seasoned with celery salts, which makes for an interesting kick. No grilled onions or peppers on the side, BUT, they do have a little jar brimming with toothpicks which is worth its weight in gold when you're in the market for mid-afternoon tacos. Definitely worth checking out. read more

One of our favorite trucks around the area pastor is great. Cheese quesadillas another one of my favorites here....Open most days and late hours read more

Tacos El Caballo - Delicioso tacos! - Food Trucks Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Very good and cheap. Was looking for Mexican food and was surprised. Very fast service and overall amazing.

You can say it's a cliché to get quite possibly this town's best tacos in Mexican town (not even in the same BALLPARK as that "South of the border" crap), but it's even better, in this time we live in, that it's located (PARKED is a better term) OUTSIDE in an empty lot in the corner of Longworth and Springwell Sts. in Southwest Detroit! Yes! It's a food truck! Reminds me so much of my favorite food truck in Lacey, WA. I ordered 7 (yes SEVEN, I was STARVING ok?) marinated pollo in a corn tortilla. The size is a tad bit smaller than the "bell's" but the flavor packs a punch! I would say it's just a half a notch shy compared to that of my favorite food truck out NW. They gave me two sauces on the side (one's a little milder than the other but they both have a KICK!), a wrapped caramelized onion and jalapeño peppers, and another side of lime wedges. I only ate 5 of the 7 and it's filling! They will DEFINITELY get a visit from me again and THIS TIME there WILL BE pictures. I'm glad EL CABALLO is my first YELP! review after a long hiatus. read more

Best taco truck in southwest detroit. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy great tacos. Best taco Tuesday deal, 10 for $10.

Wow honestly phenomenal. They even do a 10/$10 on Tuesday. I was happily surprised by the quality especially since it's a food truck. Authentic tacos make Taco Bell look and taste like straight dog food. My fiancé and I go here every Tuesday, not to mention whenever we pass it in general. Easily worth the money, 100% recommend! They provide you with grilled onions, jalapeños, and lime. As well as amazing sauce. If you're looking for some great authentic tacos this is the place to go! read more

This was the first time I tried this taco truck, by far the best tacos I've ever had. They are very reasonably priced, although I would pay more for as good as the steak tacos were. You really need to try this place, it is that good read more

I ordered two quesadillas and they were not good at all. They didn't grilled the quesadillas and the shrimp tasted uncooked. It was soggy & poorly constructed all together. They don't put the food in a container for your connivence, they just wrap it in aluminum foil and throw it in a plastic bag. Customer service was poor as well. I wish I would've just went to El tacquito's truck ( soo yummy), but they were closed read more

The food is fight worthy. Sober or not this food is enough to cause a broken house...for example: You bring home two of these tacos for YOU and hide them in the fridge but because the smell is so inviting your spouse goes in and scarfs them down before you get to them when you had you mind set on them...for me its time to for divorce court. And no that's not too far, ask Deadpool he will agree with me. read more

I had the steak taco and chicken quesadilla and O. M. G they were some of the best tacos I have had in my life. I have been dying to go back for over a week. read more

Food was excellent. Certainly not pretentious. The burrito was the best I have ever had. I'm not gonna lie, the tacos were very impressive as well. Hands down one of the best places for food ever. read more

We hired this company for our 50th birthday party this past weekend. Jose was amazing!! So friendly, accommodating, and the food was outstanding.

We will definitely hire them again. Thanks Jose for all you did, and do! read more
