a taco truck at night
John M.

Tacos El Guero is a food truck that sits in a Shell gas station. The service is a bit slow and a bit impersonal, but the food more than makes up for it. I chose three tacos and the total was just a bit over nine dollars after these and all. I went with a campechano taco, an asada taco and a carnitas taco. The campechano taco was by far my favorite. The carnitas taco would probably get my second choice and then the asada taco. But do not misunderstand, they all were excellent tacos. They also had a few tables under a tent of you want to dine there. Not the biggest ambiance, but it works. Since it was a chilly night in December, I ended up eating my feast in my car. This is a solid choice if you are craving some good Mexican food. I would definitely recommend this Mexican food truck and they definitely earned my recommendation. I will give here five stars overall.

Top: Chorizo Taco Bottom (Left to Right): Chicken Taco, Steak Taco, Campechano Taco

Steak, Chorizo, and Campechano tacos were very hard to beat. I went on a Saturday at 8pm and got my food within 5 minutes of ordering it. Tacos came with onions, cilantro, along with sides of red and green sauce. Great takeout or quick eat spot.

I'm so glad I found this little spot on Google maps because it was legit. Don't be scared of the food truck in the gas station parking lot because the food is so good and so authentic. I had three tacos: chicken, steak, and pastor. The pastor was my favorite but all were delicious. The food came out crazy fast as well.

Food truck

Quick and my pastor quesadilla was great! Best one I've had in a long time. Pastor was really spicy and came with two different salsas/sauces. Good prices and service.

Tacos had some extra protien.. found this little bug mixed in with the meat. You have been warned.  Campechano Taco

I used to like this taco truck but now the food isn't that great and way to salty.. the worst part is I found a bug in the campechano tacos mixed in with the meat. I figured i should let others know just Incase your thinking about going here.

Lengua x 2, al pastor

I've tried 10+ taco trucks in the bham area, I think this is the king. I have not ordered anything outside of tacos but I don't need to do so. My favorites are the lengua, pastor, and asada. No hard bits, no nasty things that should've been trimmed away. I'll keep trying taco trucks around town but this one is top of my list for now. Wish I could give them 10 stars.

Pork Tacos

I went to my favorite taco truck in town today. Tacos El Guero is in a great location right off of highway 280 and their tacos are pretty good! The pork is a little spicy, but I typically order a side of avocado to help balance out the spice. They're never skimpy on the onions and cilantro, which adds tons of flavor to the tacos. This place is covid friendly since it's outside and they offer outside seating. The tacos are served in a styrofoam container and a paper bag is used for carry-out. I'd highly recommend giving this taco truck a try!

Been going for years. The other 3 taco trucks on highway 280 are nothing compared to El Guero!

Walked in and was greeted by friendly front desk people…read more Sat in the bar as usual. Was served chips & salsa. I am one who doesn't do hot. Salsa was good flavor. Ordered drinks and they are very good. The food! Oh my goodness it was so good at a great price. I had a combo. Taco/enchilada. The taco was a small burrito. We enjoyed all we had. The place is spacious with a nice bar area. Servers were attentive as needed and friendly too.

Wow! A spot-on real deal Mexican restaurant in the outskirts of Tuscaloosa! Who would have thunk…read moreit? OK, we're big-time Tex-Mex food fans, but we find it quite difficult to find high-quality Tex-Mex or even Mexican restaurants in the US south outside of Texas. This place is a game changer. When we stopped here, we were prepared to be disappointed in issuing two or three star rating at the most. Every single item we ordered was tasty and delectable. Our entrées were Carne Asada; and, Shrimp of the Devil (Camerones el Diablo). Both were fresh, tasty, and delicious. The shrimp were prepared in a special hot sauce, which was in an of itself, delectable (but only if you have a big glass of water to drink). My wife liked it so much she just wanted to taste the sauce! We weren't going to have dessert, but after watching several dessert pass by via the waitress to other tables, we decided order Flan and a mixture of a sopsvilla with fried ice cream. Ugh! Spectacular! If you're in the Tuscaloosa area, go and enjoy. It's worth it. Prices are reasonable. There's a happy hour for drinks. We had two margaritas each: very very good. This restaurant is located directly across the street from brand new Holiday Inn in Tuscaloosa at Cottondale, AL 35453.
