It took me a while to muster up enough courage to try another taco truck in Oxnard. Time and time…read moreagain I have been disappointed with mediocre tacos and while these might not be the best tacos in the world, the guy running it does deserve some recognition. To start off, tacos a vapor, as the name states it are steamed tacos where the meat is cooked in a steamer versus any frying or grilling. There is still a lot of technique that goes into this, but the outcome is a delicious surprise of texture and flavor. Having said that, it is not every day where you find a place like this that does it right. El Mocho has proved to me on several occasions now, that he knows how to cook and present the steamed taco in a way that is enjoyable and tasty. He always offers his guests a simple but tasty appetizer that consists of some tortilla chips, beans, and a drop of his tasty salsa. Who does that anymore? I mean not even restaurants offer you a complimentary appetizer anymore. It's not much but the mere fact that this guy on a taco truck does, speaks volumes to his character and drive to succeed in such a competing market. The main reason I was there was for the cabeza (head) tacos. It is so hard to find decent cabeza anywhere these days, most people don't really know how to cook it let alone make it good. Tacos El Mocho does a great job at it, and it comes out tasting delicious, reminds me of home. The other good options are Lengua, Labio and surprisingly the Asada is also tasty. The truck is a cash only business and tacos run for 3 bucks a pop. A little steep in my opinion but the flavor makes up for the cost. Keep in mind, the tacos a vapor come out hot! So, unless you want a 1st-2nd degree burn in your mouth, give it a few seconds before shoving them in your mouth, I made that mistake once already :( The truck is hard to miss, he is parked on a side street parallel to Oxnard Blvd. right in front of Smart and Final and Burger King. If you like the more "exotic" meat options in your tacos, give Tacos El Mocho a try, you will not regret it.

I've returned to this Taco truck at least 3x and my parents also got me tacos a few nights ago,…read morewhich got me to go back tonight... their Asada tacos are delish (my go to lately). I appreciate how they offer a free appetizer of chips while you wait. It is easily seen on Oxnard Blvd right next to Burger King. The area is sometimes dark and people may be weary at first, but you will come to see that people do come here! So don't be quick to judge. Service has been quick all the times I've ordered here and they all seem nice and approachable. They do not sell horchata here at the time this review is being written, jfyi. I recommend this taco truck. :-)

Verdict? This is a…read moreregular Oxnard Taco truck, simple servings of tacos, burritos, tortas and some other items like their popular gorditas that are stuffed with beans cheese and your choice of meat. So taste-wise? They are ok, nothing great but a good late night spot to catch some tacos. Here's a rundown of their meat offerings: Asada - Not that good, but then again tell me one place here in the Nard that knows how to do this right. Pastor - Just ok, they cook it on the flattop just like all other taco places but the flavor is decent. Lengua - Very good! My favorite of all, very tender and flavorful. If you add the green sauce and a little salt you'll be in tongue heaven, yes that is a thing! Barbacoa - Not bad, was missing a little salt but over all good flavor. Tripas - Nope I don't eat this, not even in Mexico, I have to draw the line somewhere. Chorizo - Pretty good overall, decent seasonings not too fatty, it would be great in a gordita or a quesadilla. Cabeza - Not that great, still too watery and lots of fat on it, however I did hear some lady order it without fat?! Is that really a thing?? I might try this again. Still left to try: Chile Verde, Colorado. Like I said, this place is not a show stopper but when you are sitting at home watching TV on a late night and you get the cravings for some Tacos, this is not a bad place to try. Also the ladies running it are very nice and accommodating which is always good to have. Oh and before I forget, apparently the Tortas are pretty good because my kid had me go back two days in a row and ordered the exact same Torta, so at some point I think I should try one too ;)

Located across from superior grocery, I've been driving past this taco truck on corner of Statham…read moreand Channel Islands and I figured why not stop by for a taco Tuesday dinner. I AM SO HAPPY THAT I DID, my new favorite taco truck in Oxnard. Great service, very friendly people working here who will give you great reccomendations. After placing my order, my meal was in about 5 min so I appreciated how quick they were. At $2 dollars a taco on Tuesday, it's a great deal. Picked up 6 tacos and a cucumber lime agua fresca. What a steal for dinner. Took these tacos home and demolished them. They were honestly so aunthentic and tasteful! You must try the Al pastor and the asada as they were the star tacos for me. Next time your look for a great bite to eat, don't look any further, this place is it. They also have Torta Specials on Wendeadays and Burritos specials on Thursday for $10 bucks. Thanks Taqueria La Chaparrita for the amazing dinner tonight, I'll be back very soon!

Definitely recommend this place and I'll for sure be coming back!

Their corn tortillas are the best on a street taco. although not handmade they are thick so your taco don't crack and just makes the taco great. Their hard-shell shredded beef taco has always been a good choice for me. the crunch is there and the meat is always soft and seasoned. this weekend i went and tried a side of FRENCH FRIES, these were good, so im sure the Asada Fries will taste just as great. you have to have a great sturdy fry... these fries are thick and evenly cooked. the Questobirrea taco was also a hit the meat was well seasoned and juicy not dry. Also, got some cornburritos on this visit and ordered the 6 pk. they were so flavorful. Sauce upon request. mine was light. now open on sundays for the summer...! the customer service is always a plus!!! great job guys. if you don't like the food, well at leased you supported a good caused as this truck is run by a men's program.
