Chicken Tacos
Trevor J.

Their service is extremely fast and the tacos were amazing. It was my first time trying tacos de canasta and chicken tinga. I highly recommend this truck. They have a ton of options on their menu to choose from.

Taqueria Charros is a taco truck located in the corner of a Chevron gas station. This food truck has definitely seen better days. However, when I am seeking tacos, ambiance takes a significant back seat to the actual quality of the food. In fact, I usually find that the hole-in-the-wall type establishments offer the best tacos. I realized that I was close to their closing, so I opted to call my order in. I called in my order about twenty minutes before closing and was about five minutes away. I just know that sometimes, if it's kind of a slow day, a food truck might close a bit early. I ordered an asada taco, one chorizo taco and one cabeza taco. When I got to the truck, I saw that they had a supreme version which included avocado and a few other things. Had I known that, I probably would have spent the dollar extra each taco and went with that. However, there was nothing wrong with the tacos as they were. I would say out of the three tacos that I got, I thought the cabeza taco was the best. Surprisingly, my least favorite would have been their chorizo taco. Not that it wasn't good, I was just a little underwhelmed by it overall. The service here was friendly and even though I pulled up with probably about ten minutes until they closed, they were still smiling and professional. Please be advised that again, this is a taco truck. There is no place to sit down and eat and obviously, there is no table service. But if you are looking for good tacos, seek out this humble hole-in-the-wall. I do not think that you will be disappointed.

Also came with the red and green sauce on the side!

I've had a craving for chicken tacos recently. Saw the truck at the Chevron, and decided to stop by. Got 3 chicken tacos, and added cheese (cause that's my business), and just WOW. They really are the best street tacos I've had in Birmingham so far. The chicken was a little charred and seasoned to perfection, and overall there was an excellent crunch to the taco. They were filling and simply delicious. Thinking about going back to get some more for tonight!!! (No seriously). If you're ever in Hoover, stop by!! You won't regret it! I forgot to take a picture when I first got them because I was so hungry so enjoy this picture of one taco :)

Al Pastor Tacos

Great clean location in Hoover. Service was quick and friendly. Plenty of authentic options on the menu. I had the Al Pastor Tacos and they were tender and tasty. The salsas were fresh and were perfectly paired. Also enjoyed the fresh cucumbers. 9 bucks for three filling tacos and all the fixings. I'll be back.

I have been going to Taqueria Juarez for years. It is consistently good hearty authentic fare, full…read moreof flavor and always satisfying. The service is friendly and quick. The ambiance is sparse, as it is a food truck in a parking lot with a few picnic tables in front, some under cover of a canopy. But the food more than makes up for the no-frills experience. My favorites here are the torta and the tacos, but I have tried everything on the menu and it is all good--not one single dud. The torta is an amazing griddle sandwich filled with toppings such as meat, cheese, beans, tomato, avocado, jalapeño, and more. You choose which meat you prefer; I highly recommend the campechano which is a three-meat combo of pork, steak, and chorizo sausage. The serving size is generous, and some might be able to make two meals out of one sandwich, which is served conveniently cut in half. The tacos are sold individually, so you can mix and match however you like. Meat choices include steak, chicken, pork, shrimp, chorizos, and some specialty meats such as cow's head and tongue. Tacos are made with corn tortillas containing meat, onions, and cilantro. They are served with grilled spring onion and fresh cucumbers on the side, which are a surprisingly perfect complement. The burrito is stuffed with a ton of toppings, and again you choose your meat. Here too, I think the campechano is the best option, but you do you. The quesadilla is huge and full of flavor thanks to the addition of veggies to the typical meat and cheese. The huarache is a big piece of masa flatbread that is fried and topped with meat and veggies. It kind of looks like a pizza, but oval-shaped and personal-sized. It's a very filling entree. The sopes are also made with fried masa dough, but they are small and round and more bowl-like in shape, and they too are filled with meat and veggies. These are served three per order and for most people will be a filling portion. The base meats are the same for any of the entrees, so you can choose how you would like any of the entrees prepared. The staff is good about asking if you want all the listed toppings or if you want to customize. There are three different salsas to choose from. I have found that most of the dishes are well-seasoned and don't need a salsa to achieve satisfactory flavor, but the salsas are complementary to any of the dishes. There is a smoky chipotle sauce, a red chili sauce, and a green chili sauce. My favorite is the green--a splash of this on the sandwich or burrito gives a little heat without overpowering. If you haven't been to Taqueria Juarez yet, you are missing out. If you have been before, next time try something different on the menu, as you can't go wrong with any selection.

I definitely get the hype now! I had been here a few years ago and got a quesadilla that I wasn't…read morereally impressed with but these tacos? Definitely satisfied the taco craving I was having. The asada and birria were SO good. The chicken was my least favorite but still good. $12 for 3 tacos and service was fairly quick even though there was their usual crowd. Green sauce was good and spicy but that chipotle? Delicious.

THIS Restaurant CLOSED…read more I have always loved this restaurant. I always get à la carte tacos. My son loves the cheese dip and the kids beef taco meal. Unfortunately, this restaurant closed as of the Sunday before Labor Day. I am very disappointed because I would go there about once a week. The space will reopen as a gelato restaurant or store. Not sure when. I try to eat very healthy so gelato is not on my radar. My son doesn't really like gelato/ice cream either. If I'm going to indulge in ice cream, I always go to Bluff Park ice cream. Their ice cream is really good plus they have a rewards system.

There is plenty of outdoor seating along the street and on a side patio. Dogs are always welcome in the outdoor areas. Indoor seating is also available, and there is a full-service bar. Today I had the Shrimp Taco Plate. The two flour tortillas are topped with three large grilled shrimp. The shrimp are then topped with pineapple mango salsa, cilantro-lime crema and Tajin seasoning. I thought the combination worked very well, and would recommend it. The Margaritas are good, and I especially like the Tajin rim.

I had been wanting to give it a try since I heard they had opened. We decided to make the journey…read morefor a belated Valentine's dinner. The line really didn't seem long enough for the wait to order but that could have been a customer causing the delay. When they are busy it would be helpful to have more than one person taking orders. We had hoped to find some seating on the patio since it was such a pleasant evening but most everyone else had the same idea and there was not any available tables. Once we ordered it did not take long for our chips and queso to arrive followed soon after by our entrees. They actually offered us a second tray of queso & chips due to an order mix up (we think it was actually supposed to go to a nearby table). The El Matador Margarita (premium white tequila, Patron Citronage & pineapple juice) was good and could have easily been happy with another or even a pitcher. I opted for the Guacin' on Sunshine (shrimp, black beans, pineapple pico, cilantro ranch & guac)) & Tan Lines (mahi, pineapple pico, cilantro, ranch & fresco cheese) tacos and my wife chose the Reef 'n Beef bowl (steak, shrimp, tomatoes, rice, black beans, roasted corn, onions & cilantro ranch). I had requested no guacamole but it came on anyway and they also went overboard with the onion for my wife's bowl. Otherwise everything was good but not as incredible as I was expecting. If it was closer to home, we still would likely at least pick up regularly and we will definitely plan to come back when my daughter & her husband come back in town.

You're allotted 8 toppings in the bowl, a dressing, and a side of chips and salsa. The food here is very similar to Condado Tacos or Taco Mama. Our order came out very quickly and was a healthy serving. I wouldn't necessarily make a special trip out here, especially considering Taco Mama is much closer. It's a fun atmosphere and I've heard that they have trivia on some nights!
