I ordered one steak taco, one pastor taco, and a cup of corn. The tacos were smaller than other trucks, but they are FILLED with meat. Both my tacos were good but didn't blow me away with the flavor. Pastor tacos are usually pretty greasy, but this one felt greasier than what is typical. The corn was yummy and came with all the toppings. I got the corn with the spice on it and it was a perfect amount of heat. One thing I really liked about this truck was that you can pay with cash or card and they have a loyalty program. You can also add on sides of rice and beans as well. I will be back to this truck for the corn but would try something other than the tacos.

I think I must have ordered the wrong thing from Tacos Tarasco because out of all the taco trucks I…read morehave visited, Tacos Tarasco had the most extensive menu (with a special menu for breakfast) but their carne taco was only okay to me. Their pastor taco also had the fattiest meat compared to the other taco trucks. Their salsa also did not impress me. They serve tostadas, tortas, tacos, burritos, sandwiches, and omelets. The service here was very good. There was a family ahead of me with multiple orders but the man running the food truck was nice enough to advise me that my food would take approximately five minutes. Even though there was a wait, I thought five minutes was still fast! The truck even listed their business times which I thought was very professional of them since this was missing in other taco trucks I've visited. I hope to come back here again to try something different on their menu and hopefully be impressed.

We ordered two pastor tacos. The meat was tender and flavorful. Although the pork was covered in red sauce, it was not very spicy at all (and I usually am sensitive to spicy food). The workers here were friendly and the food was prepared quickly. Their menu is quite extensive and prices seemed reasonable. The place loses a star because they did not have any salsas already prepackaged for carry out orders. Their salsa selection was in front of the counter where you order, in an open dish, which I thought was quite unsanitary since anyone could sneeze into it or bugs could crawl into it.

Well I drove by the truck on the way home. We have talked about going for a long time. I walk in the door and whispered the magic word, "tacos?" The next thing I know we are walking right down the block. I love a home cooked meal and this is exactly what you're getting. I have recently come to enjoy Chimichanga. I ordered mine -without beans- and a coke. My partner in adventures ordered a burrito. His burrito was huge. ;) We ate like kings for $14.00. My Chimichanga came out piping hot. Everything was rolled together and was with delicious tasting meat. It was not smothered in cheese, it was more like a garnish which was great cause then i don't only taste cheese. His burrito was stuffed full of all its glory and came with a couple chips. We sat in the setting sun under the tent and gorged ourselves on what we feel was as authentic homemade Mexican meal. We thanked the cook and praised him on the food and tipped him generously. He was out there in the heat of a food truck and sun and making delicious food for who knows how many or how little of a crowd each time. We are going back,

If you can eat this by yourself you should be making better choices. It tastes great and its well put together. But you better be ready to share it or save some for later. It's just huge, grande, ginormas, malaking, enorme. Its a take out only food truck. No tables to sit at and it's in the Auto Zone parking lot by a very busy ice machine. This place was real busy when I arrived. Get over here and don't forget to have the Oaxaca cheese on that sandwich.

The cemitas are packed with food. I recommend the milanesa one!! Their tacos are made of homemade tortillas. You only need one because they are ENORMOUS. Very few Mexican places have good horchata or aguas frescas because they are usually watered down with all the ice. I recommend the agua de melón and agua de horchata. This is all good quality food. They have other traditional dishes from Puebla. Everything is fresh, delicious, and with generous portions. The customer service is phenomenal. They treat you very well! They are approachable, friendly, and patient. It was my first time there and I had a lot of questions. They kindly answered them. They also have a great system. They have speakers and call out your name when your food is ready that way you don't have to stand outside waiting, you can just wait in your car. We showed up at 10:45pm and they still had tons of people ordering food. When you see a lot of people ordering, it's a good sign. I also love supporting this business because they started from the bottom. They used to only cater and sometimes sell at the bailes. They worked so hard to make this food truck a reality. They also support local non profits. They always give back to the community. Support local!

She teased that I wouldn't be interested since I'd just come back from Mexico, but of course we went anyway. At first, we were disappointed to find a fireworks tent had taken their spot. A couple of texts and calls later, we learned they'd be back the next day. Two days later, we finally made it -- and wow. First bite reaction: mind‑blowingly good. The food is incredible, but what makes this place unforgettable is the people behind it. Whether it's the staff, family, or owners (I didn't ask), they radiate big smiles and genuine gratitude for doing what they love . If I could bottle one thing from our Mexican neighbors, it would be their JOY -- that positive outlook that shines no matter what's happening in the world. This taco truck has it, and it's contagious. So here's my verdict: line up. I rarely say this, but this spot is a NEVER miss. Try it once, and you'll be planning your return before you finish your taco! times ten. A rare rating from me.
