I've always driven by this taco truck on Brookhurst so I decided to give it a try one day. It's located near Sherwin Williams and there's some parking available along with a single fold out table and a few chairs. I ordered asada, lengua, and chorizo and all three meats were delicious and the tortillas were great! They also added grilled onions along with their sauces. The workers are friendly and the tacos come out relatively quickly depending on how many customers there are, usually around 5-7 minutes! Will be coming back here again in the future, please give this place a try! Side note - They charge $1 for card or touch-less transactions, so bring cash! read more

Tacos el Chente - a plate of tacos and sauces - Food Trucks Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Who doesn't love a good food truck? Tacos El Chente is located on Brookhurst and Lampson in Garden Grove. The truck has a very pretty, colorful design. My friend told me about this place and invited me out. I ordered 1 carne asada and 1 tripe taco. Unfortunately, they gave me the wrong order and I got chorizo instead, which was fine. I didn't want to bother them to have to make it again. They have THE BEST TRIPE TACOS I've ever had!! The chorizo taco was average. I wouldn't get that in the future. I will definitely be back to get the tripe tacos again, and look forward to trying more items, like burritos. Happy eating! read more

Located in Sherwin Williams parking lot. Takes card, but charges $1 (So bring cash). Each taco is around $1.50 (They also have big tacos for $2.50). Ordered a Carne asda, al pastor, and lengua taco. All three meats were very tasty! They put lime, grilled onions and jalapenos on your plate. In addition, there is a salsa bar outside along with onions and cilantro. There was a total of about 5 groups, and they seemed to start fumbling. They forgot my order, but the cashier made sure I got it. .Overall: worh a try. read more

Taco shells here are really good. I don't know what they do but they're the best. Slightly crunchy and still chewy. Definitely not just a standard corn taco heated. Very good read more

Utterly so disappointed! This truck use to be my absolute favorite! Why would you mess up a good thing! I had a pretty large order - 3 Birria tacos (no onions, extra crispy) - 2 Tripas - 5 carne asada tacos ( 3 no onions) - 1 carne asada burrito (no beans no rice) - 2 Horchatas I proceeded to tell the cashier my order. She would interrupt constantly. She would not listen and after me confirming 3 times, she responded with yes, yes, okay and proceeded to charge me. I ordered all the tacos ( besides the birria) to be small tacos. However, she corrected me and said the small are the tacos and the bigs are the burritos. WHAT?!!! You still charged me large tacos! I didn't want to argue, and thought "Whatever! I'm still getting tacos!" I asked her to make sure the burrito came with no rice or beans but we still want onions, cilantro, and cheese. "Okay, okay, everything!."was what she responded. Again... " no. I want the burrito WITHOUT rice and beans" Well... when the order came out, none of my order was correct. Things that shouldn't have onions had onions and things with onions did not. The burrito only had meat... when I told her I wanted small tacos and not the large ones she told me they already made it... can't change it now. (Whatever, same difference, right?) WRONG! Miscommunication was frustrating but what happened to the food?!! Granted the portion of meat was plentiful but they forgot to season EVERYTHING! I literally thought they changed owners or workers! My birria was white! It lacked flavor and tasted like meat floss. The consumme that use to be so soothing and flavorful was now reduced to something sad. The tripas that was once crispy now tasted boiled and truthfully, inedible. I literally went home and had to turn on that stove and recooked all the food! Only thing I still enjoyed was their avocado salsa. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! It was 51$ for our order and I probably would have rather paid for el pollo locos "birria." (I think that says a lot!) read more

The food is sooo good! Just remember it's cash only! I recommend every thing. Sooo delicious

IF I WOULD HAVE WANTED THIS MUCH RICE I WOULD HAVE GONE TO A CHINESE RESTAURANT Ordered a carne asada burrito but received a rice burrito. Contents were about: 60% rice 35% beans 5% what I actually wanted (See photo) I so dislike burrito experiences like this. Lesson learned, never order a burrito from a taco truck, certainly not this one. read more

Tacos el Chente - WHERES THE MEAT? This is a carne asada burrito sadly; if I wanted this much rice I would've gone to a Chinese restaurant. Avoid - Food Trucks Near Me - Garden Grove, California

First time visiting this food truck, I have had tacos from other places that were flavorless, but this place was the very best in flavor great service and friendliness. I had tacos and one quesadilla loved their tripas and cabeza tacos. The tripas were fully cooked soft on the inside and crispy on the outside as they should, The quesadilla was delicious and salsa were not too hot just right. Kudos to the cook. read more

I definitely underestimated the amount of food they give you here at Tacos el Chente, so my late night snack quickly became a late nigh FEAST. The order consisted of the following tacos: Taco Naco -- You're getting a mountain of meat! 4 different kinds of meat (I believe were pollo, pastor, asada, and chorizo). Carne Asada -- Pretty good and fresh! A classic taco choice if you aren't one for crazy meats. Cabeza -- As opposed to other taco places, this was genuine cabeza, not shredded! Chewy and fatty in the best ways. All these hit the spot and I had a refreshing Jamaica to finish it all off, yum! (For those unfamiliar, it reminded me of cranberry juice.) The employees were kind too. read more

I have been going here for about 3 years and in the beginning was pretty good service and food. Don't get me wrong, the food is still pretty decent. My top favorite here is the carne asada and tripas!! So good, they make the tripas crispy and tasty. Carne asada is always a safe way to go, either way it's not dry and has flavor. The only reason why it is not 4 stars is because I don't like it when I asked for small tacos prices but she charged me for the big taco prices. I repeated back to the lady 2 times and she said okay. She still charges me for large taco prices. I think that's pretty shady. It makes me not want to come back here again. read more

Love these tacos and the flavor! The tortilla had a nice crisp but was still soft at the same time, while the meat was nicely flavored. They definitely don't skimp out on how much meat they give you. I had the carne asada and al pastor, both of which tasted great. The avocado salsa is also really good and a great addition to the flavor. The lady is very nice when she takes your order. The only thing i wish i had more of was onions and cilantro added in the taco, but you can add your own at their condiments bar. read more

Tacos el Chente - Really horrible service - Food Trucks Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This review is long over due: These guys are awesome! I live nearby and am happy to have them at my ready! I've been there at least a dozen times and have enjoyed it every time!. Portions And prices are a touch higher than average but the value is excellent! Give them a go. read more

Love their tacos. Glad they have a full food truck now. Always hit the spot and a great price. They also cater for parties and bring the trailer. This food always hits the spot. read more

Great food, good value, excellent service. Try the nacotaco, it's big and tasty.

I would have given them more stars but reasons was I showed them a picture of one of their tacos and i went to this taco place twice and both times they told me they don't have it. Kind of a let down. Another reason was that I order 7 tacos from here and I only got 6 tacos.. and each of their taco is like 2-3 dollars. So losing a taco kinda ruined the night as well because my family was missing one of the tacos and yeah didn't turn out well. If they see this message and say that I can get another taco for free next time I come by then awesome. I'll change the rating and yeah. Food is good I really like the crispy soft shell of the tortilla and the meat had a lot of flavor. But yeah if you guys go here be sure to double check your order like open the bag and box to make sure you get everything. read more

Just here for the tacos not sure about the other stuff. Tacos were delicious, the mini had a good portion of meat on it. I like their tripe it had a little crunch to it. The wait maybe a little long because there are only two workers and sometimes there is a line outside. My go to place right now because it's on the way home. read more

Every time I go here, the taco ladies never disappoints. I always order the large tacos, it's worth it. The Tripas is my favorite. I always tell her to make it crispy for me. read more

This place was the BOMB! I found it on the way to Disneyland after doing a yelp search. I don't know why these people are complaining about the cost. I think the cost is extremely reasonable. The food was delicious! The tortillas were soft, the meat was cooked to perfection, and the salsa was INSANELY delicious! I could seriously drink it in a glass. I got two chicken tacos & my bf got a burrito. Both bomb. P.s. cash only! read more

Tried ordering their carne asada fries the other day. Unfortunately they ran out of fries so they asked me if i was fine with replacing with nachos. I gotta say the carne asada nachos was delicious!! And it was loaded!!!! I feel that most places I've ordered carne asada fries from don't give enough toppings but this is an exception, especially considering the price. :) read more

Wow!!!!! These tacos are so good and they aren't too far away from where I live, so this is going to be my new go-to. I got the carne asada tacos (small size) and they were so juicy, tender, and flavorful! I definitely recommend this place if you're wondering about where to get tacos! read more

Tacos el Chente - Food Trucks Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Tacos were so bland and tasteless. $22 for 9 mini tacos is pretty pricey especially not tasting that good. First and last time for sure.

My boyfriend sent me here for some burritos. Let me repeat, my boyfriend sent me. For those who know my boyfriend, he's super picky and doesn't go to a place twice if he didn't feel like it hit the spot. Apparently, this one did! Their burritos are a good size, and I love their avocado salsa. Next time, I'll send my friends here for some burritos! read more

I've been driving pass Tacos el Chente for quite some time. Tonight I decided to actually drop by. It's a mother and son establishment! So cute. Their menu board has "John 3:16" written on it. There's an open bible at the order window. I'm not at all the religious type but, I don't know, already I felt the humbleness. Ok. Now to the food. The tacos are amazing. I ordered for take-out, though there are a plastic table a chairs for those who want to eat on the spot. I ordered the asada and pastor. I love their asada. It's freshly grilled. It's tender yet there's a (seared) crispness to it. It's sooooo yummy to my hungry tummy! Al pastor is ok to my opinion. There's bins of onions, cilantro, green and red sauce. The sauces are AMAZING. I am usually a red sauce type of gal, but I enjoyed their green sauce as well. Both were fire...like spicy fire. The red sauce must to be habanero. It's super spicy, flavorful and delicious. I'm going to frequent here for sure. (Pictures, next time) read more

I hardly ever write reviews but O M G! This place is a gem!!! It's safe to say they are the best tacos I've ever had. Give this place a try and you won't regret it! The meat is superb! read more

Terrible just terrible. The tortillas were awful The meat was awful Hard pass much better taco places elsewhere read more

I stopped buy tonight to try out their tacos. I went and ordered for my self and my two nieces. Got my to go order and headed home. When I got home I was missing an order of three tacos which were for my niece. I was really dissatisfied because I paid for three orders of tacos and only received two. I definitely felt like I was ripped off and I was not able to drive back being that it was late at night and I had two kids with me. I tried calling their number but no one ever picked up. If you buy from this place make sure you check you get your complete order. When it comes to the taste the tacos are good and decent amount of meat. read more

Really good burrito and tacos. I got carne asada and pastor, tacos are $1.50 and the burrito was $8. What I like was the food portion was generous and it was very clean tasting. Food was not oily, which is how mexican food usually comes out. Onions, cilantro, and salsa were all fresh. Will be back! read more

I love this truck guess u can say I'm a regular good prices great food and they treat you like family

I tried this place today and the tacos were good they were small but had a good amount of meat on them and the tortilla had a little crunch to it just how I like them. I don't like them being all awadas and let me tell you the reason I'm giving 5 stars is the agua de horchata was sooooooo bomb! Definitely going every time I crave tacos I can't wait to try the burritos ! read more

I feel like food truck food should cost less than restaurant food since they have a lot less costs. Food is good but tacos should be more like $1 and burritos closer to $5. At those prices the value would be greater for what your getting. At their current prices I will rather go to a regular restaurant and get more for my money. I would give the food 4 stars (good food) but can't get over the fact they want $7 for a burrito when your ordering from a parking spot. They can't charge the same as chipotle for a burrito when selling from a truck parked in a parking lot. For $7 I can get a combo at In-n-out. read more

Had a lengua Mulita.. It was so good! Stop complaining about the price. It's worth it

They have some awesome Nachos!! here they get better and better really appreciate how they add avocado, diced onion, tomato not many places do that anymore. Service is accurate and really good taste read more
