Taqueria Juarez in Hoover is one of my favorite spots. It's parked off of Lorna Road, and while it's a simple setup, it is very authentic and relaxed. There's some outdoor seating, but I usually just pick it up and take it to-go! The food is the best part. This time, I ordered a few tacos, and everything tasted really fresh and well-seasoned. The meat was tender and flavorful without being greasy, and the toppings were simple but perfect. They come with onions, cilantro, and lime. I am very picky, and they always make sure my order is made correctly! The green sauce is my favorite because it has a nice tangy flavor with a little heat but isn't overwhelming. You can tell they focus on doing the basics really well. The service is also great. Even though it's a busy food truck, the staff is always friendly and moves pretty quickly, which makes the whole experience smooth. Overall, I recommend it this truck! It's affordable, authentic, and has really good food without trying too hard. read more

I definitely get the hype now! I had been here a few years ago and got a quesadilla that I wasn't really 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. read more

My fav taco truck in Hoover to grab tacos on Taco Tuesday! Honestly, I can eat tacos every day LOL! Service is always quick. They offer seating under a tent (bonus the tent has string lights if you visit at night) if you prefer to sit and eat. They give plenty of meat with your tacos also!! read more

Taqueria is a quaint restaurant with room to sit for a comfortable quick bite. The service is good and the food is made upon ordering. The only issue is the food tastes as if it is only prepared using salt and pepper. This is not a problem necessarily, but it could use more flavor. read more

Five years since I discovered it, this is still my favorite taco truck. They have a new location in Bluff Park, and I can get there in under a minute if the traffic light at Tyler is green, hahaha. I still go for tacos or a torta most of the time. My kids are older now and have branched out from quesadillas-- they both love the carne asada (one is team taco and the other is team burrito). Seriously, try the peanut salsa-- I would put that stuff on ANYTHING. Bluff Park in particular has a shortage of good places to eat, so I'm thrilled to have a more convenient location for amazing tacos. read more

This place is hands down the best place to get authentic street tacos in Birmingham area. The service is great and the food never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more

Taqueria Juarez - 3 asada tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

I had a great experience here! The guy at the cashier is very friendly with everyone. The wait wasn't too long. It was around 8 minutes and there only about 3 more people in line. There used to be seating a long time ago but they have since removed it. The food was fresh. I got the beef tongue tacos. My favorite thing about that place was the green salsa. They offer three types of salsa but the green is my absolute favorite. It's 3 dollars each taco unless you get one of the specialty meats which bumps it up a dollar more. I think it was a fairly reasonable price as many street tacos are getting more expensive. Although I do miss the ability to sit outside to enjoy my food, I am still happy with what the taco truck has to offer. It's probably one of the best taco trucks I have found in Hoover. I definitely recommend for others to visit! read more

I have been going to Taqueria Juarez for years. It is consistently good hearty authentic fare, full of 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. read more

Once again I'll say the only reason I don't want to share how amazing this place is solely is for the reason they'll become even more popular and then I'll have to wait to get me order. Haha! This is one of my top of the top meal locations and if you want legit Mexican food this is the best. They are always nice and always wonderful servers and create your order in a very great way. My favorite sauce in the world is their Peanut Sauce yet I cannot find it at any other Mexican restaurant ever. read more

One of the best taco trucks in Birmingham! I got the chicken tacos, and I truly enjoyed it. The service was very quick, but the seating area is a little small. They have a few other items as well for those who are not in the mood for tacos! read more

Taqueria Juarez - Food Trucks Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

Taqueria Juarez is one of my favorite taco trucks in the Birmingham area! It's a nice, chill, and also quick place to go to for some Mexican street food. You can either sit outside on their benches placed next to the truck or take it to go. They consistently have savory and flavor packed tacos every time I go. I get 3 chicken tacos and usually an horchata to drink as well. The horchata is made well with a good balance of sweetness and a cinnamon taste that pairs perfectly with the tacos. Their entire menu is reasonably priced and affordable with many different items like tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, etc. Their service is always super friendly, and they give you extra sauce with no hesitancy when you ask! I personally love their green sauce the most. Overall, they are a great taco truck where you get quality and affordability all in one! read more

Taqueria Juarez - Chicken tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

They just brought a food truck to Homewood parked at the Jack Rabbit gas station. This is one of the top 3 mex food trucks in Birmingham.

OK, there's taco truck tacos, then there's Juarez taco truck tacos. We have enjoyed several different taco truck menus over the years, with Dos Hernando's as our top pick, but this one is way better than even that venerable vendor. For starters, the meats were just perfect - the carne asado not too salty, seasoned just right. The chicken taco, while a bit dry (it was breast so...) was well marinated, so had an excellent flavor. I had the Sopas, one Lengua, one Pastor, one Asado. Oh wow, soooo good. It's a shame that places that are this good don't have sit-down locations. They easily outshine any of the pedestrian "Mexican" we have across Birmingham, with bland beans, greasy or underseasoned meats, and waaaay too much cheese on everything. Very highly recommend. They do takeaway as well as picnic tables. read more

Authentic Mexican food- we ordered about 12 steak tacos and two chicken quesadillas. Everything was phenomenal- the salsa verde is off the charts good (medium heat to it). Highly recommend and wish we could be regulars but we found this on our travels back home. Small seating area, plenty of options on the menu and friendly workers. Go try them! read more

I didn't like the torta of carne asada very much, they use a little rooster and they don't even put meat, it doesn't even taste, I bought it. They should change the chilies into vinegars, they don't even have a taste, they are dry. The only one I liked was the tripe taco. It's just that it was a little expensive for me. Defensively, I don't think I'll go back. read more

Taqueria Juarez - Torta of carne asada no flavor and little Meat no good . Too dry also - Food Trucks Near Me - Hoover, Alabama

The food was good, not great, but good, but the service and long wait times certainly diminished the overall experience. Prices are not posted, but are not horrible, though a little high. A burrito and two tacos were $13. Also, keep in mind that this is not a restaurant, but an older food truck parked in a gas station, so expect to be eating in your car or taking it to go. At the end, they did not give me a receipt and when I asked for one, I was told she can't give me one. I told her that I needed one for work and after about twenty minutes they begrudgingly sent me one via text message. While the food was ok, I cannot see returning here. read more

I am giving them 4 stars overall for coming to a neighborhood near me (08/26/2020), the amount of food, and the excellent customer service (the young lady taking orders was extremely nice). However, 3 stars for the food. I was excited to check them out because of the reviews on Yelp and one other place. I was not wowed like I thought I would be. The Steak Burrito had onions, avocado, cheese, beans, tomato, sour cream, rice, cilantro, and jalapeños, plenty of it all and fresh. While eating, it just didn't make me say, I have to go back!!! Since they have other items on the menu, I will try them again and find what makes me do a happy dance. read more

I went to Taqueria Juarez with my friend and got an order for dine-in. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and two chicken tacos with onion and cilantro in them. I really loved the food here. The service was amazing and the guys taking my order were very sweet and patient. I got my order within five minutes. They were very fast and kind. After I got my food they offered napkins and sauces for my tacos. Since COVID-19, Taqueria Juarez offers hand sanitizer right by the register where you order the food. Overall, the staff were very kind and fast. I rate this experience a 5/5 and will be returning. read more

Fantastic food!!! You won't be disappointed!! Service is great, food is fresh, steak tacos with cilantro and onion are so, so good!! The horchata is to die for... you might want to order this instead of your Starbucks... read more

The quesadillas, holy cow the quesadillas! They are so ridiculously good here! They dice up onions and peppers with your choice of meat and layer on the cheese. It's a massive, crispy, Ooey gooey mess. Lots of meat, lots of cheese and simply addictive. We literally stop by every week just to get one. We've had their tacos which are very good and their tortas are huge and delicious. My husband has to have his Mexican Coke and I always get a large Jamaica Agua Fresca. It's sweet and like a very mild cranberry juice if you've never tried it. It's not super tart, but I always squeeze lots of lime into it and it's perfect with their food. We love that we can always swing by until 10:00 to pick up a delicious meal. read more

I don't normally eat from Food Trucks but I decided to give Tacqueria Juarez a try for an assignment. It's located in Lorna Rd, Hoover. The service was pretty chill and friendly. There were benches by the truck that I could sit at and enjoy my food. I ordered a burrito which was stuffed with pollo chicken, cheese, beans, rice, onions, sour cream, cilantro, tomato, avocado, and Jalapeno. All of the toppings were generously filled. The chicken was tender and nicely seasoned and the rice was good. The tomato, avocado, and cilantro was fresh. The burrito was tasty overall and I might come here again. read more

Saw that it was National Taco Day so my sis and I decided try this taco truck. We pass by often and there are always customers in the line. They are usually located in the Titlemax parking lot near Krispy Kreme in Hoover. We weathered the heavy rain to get 3 tacos (carnitas, Pollo, shrimp) and a campechano torta sandwich. They don't list prices but our food totaled $18. Not bad for fresh ingredients, fast food for two. The torta tastes like a burrito on buttery toasted bread. My sis and I split it and agreed that it was very flavorful. I added spicy green sauce to mine for a extra kick! My sis ate the chicken taco and said it was good but she wasn't feeling their corn tortillas. I'm usually not a fan of corn tortillas but my shrimp and carnitas tacos were both very good. The carnitas taco had fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions on it and the shrimp taco had onions and cilantro only. All the dishes came with lime and cucumber slices on the side. Yum! I tried the red sauce but preferred the green. They also have a peanut sauce that I didn't try. Definitely worth trying! read more

INSANE pricing. my boyfriend and i decided to come to this place we got 7 tacos and 1 burrito and 2 drinks and it totaled out to be 51 dollars and my burritos tortilla was burned too ‍ please if you're looking for affordable food don't come here! read more

Hands down the best taco truck in the area. The steak and chicken street tacos are amazing, as are the burritos. The only downside is that the prices are not clearly shown anywhere. I've tired other taco trucks, like the one off Valley Ave that everyone also raves about. They don't come close to the flavor of Taqueria Juarez, IMO. read more

Loved the tacos and tortas here! I drive over from Birmingham anytime I'm in the area.

Been one of my favorite places for years. Nice people and great food!! Steak tacos are great.

Asada Tortas and Asada Burrito were both delicious! Service was on point! I highly recommend 10/10

I saw a taco truck with 5 stars, I had to try it. Very solid food. Friendly man running it. Food was delivered fairly fast, and had good selection of sodas. I had the campechano torta and the pollo quesadilla. The flavors were really good and I loved their hot sauces. read more

I believe this is the best taco truck in the Birmingham metro market. The Carne Asada tacos are always perfect, and quick Lee made when ordered. There isn't much seating, so plan to eat in your car. The Horchata is also excellent. If you found this review to be helpful in any way, please like it read more

We tried several of the tacos and they were all very delicious! The best one was the al pastor one. The torta was also very very good, this is the best place I've ever had a torta at. They serve you pretty fast so you aren't waiting too long for your food. I would say it might be better to take it home cause there's only three tables to eat at and one is in the sun. Overall this place was very good! read more

Food truck in Vestavia. Taco and burritos are fine, but their torta is where it's at.....probably best in town. Even family members that usually describe ALL food as just "fine" said the torta was "really good!" My jaw dropped when they gave such a rare positive feedback. Friendly service with fresh food. Have red, green, and peanut sauce available. Green is my personal favorite with some heat! read more
