    El Pastor
    Evelyn P.

    Hands off the best mexican el pastor tacos and carnitas tacos!!! We love stopping at this while in a wall when we return from Tampa. You want authentic tacos, check out this place! They even have the good bottled Coca Cola from Mexico!

    Chips and salsa were very good, as was the guacamole. I ordered 4 carne asada tacos as well. When I got them the meat did not appear to be carne asada. I tasted it and it was bland and had an al pastor consistency. The meat was crumbled up. I am from Chicago and I know carne asada when I get it. I asked a worker and she said it was carne asada. This is not carne asada at all. Customer service was excellent and this is nothing against the staff but the tacos lacked for me. If you want real carne asada I would recommend urban cantina in downtown Tampa. Las papas fritas y la salsa estaban muy buenas, al igual que el guacamole. También pedí 4 tacos de carne asada. Cuando me los trajeron, la carne no parecía carne asada. La probé y estaba sosa y tenía una consistencia de al pastor. La carne estaba desmenuzada. Soy de Chicago y sé reconocer la carne asada. Le pregunté a una trabajadora y me dijo que era carne asada. Esto no es carne asada para nada. El servicio al cliente fue excelente y no tengo nada en contra del personal, pero los tacos no me convencieron. Si quieres carne asada de verdad, te recomendaría Urban Cantina en el centro de Tampa.

    The restaurant might be small but the portions are far from that. I had my Al pastor torta for 2 days. The torta was clearly freshly made and did not take long to prepare. Solid slight crisp on top of the bread and well distributed ingredients. Al pastor was a little fattier than I'm used to, however, it was prepared well. This place is more of a take out place as there is not a lot of seating inside and the parking lot only has room for a few cars. But service was quick and smooth

    Chicken & Al pastor tacos were okay at best. Steak (carne asada) tacos were amazing. Service was decent. I can vouch for the Torta (THOSE ARE A MUST GET). Can never go wrong with an horchata

    Great selection of tacos. It's a small taco truck on the side of the road easy to miss but it's definitely worth the stop. Their menu is small but they offer so many different types of tacos from steak, chicken, ground beef, shredded beef, al pastor, beef tongue, and shrimp. I tried one of each and they were all great. Their house made hot sauce and guacamole sauce were so good.

    EL JOINT from the outside!!!

    GET THE BARBACOA!!! Alright, you know how they say never judge a book by it's cover? They weren't talking bout a book, it was TAQUERIA LA CANADA DE LEO this place is pretty awesome and I always compare my taco exploits from the taco trucks of East Oakland and I would say this place just knocked my #1 local taco truck go-to (Chicken Taco Loco) of my list at first bite. Ordered bunch of tacos, carne asada, al pasta, tripas and Barbacoa. Everything was good, but hay Barbacoa killed it. They're pretty reasonable too just like the Oaklandish tacos...

    Brooooooo! Are you kidding me! New to the area and we saw this gem on the side of the road. It's definitely a must try. It's a legit food truck with shaded seating and a place to wash your hands. Yes it's still outdoors so you will have to deal with other outdoor elements but when you savor your first bite. Oh it makes you forget everything else in that moment. In fact all else in the world is fine when the flavors hit your taste buds. It's time for self care and this place will heal your soul.

    Amazing tacos, if you love traditional Mexican tacos and love the spice, this is the place, 'my boyfriend got the chicken and absolutely loved them, I got the marinaded pork (Al pastor) and it was extremely juicy, was quite surprised some people said they were dry. This was my third favorite truck out of ceasers in port Charlotte and as well as another restaurant in fort myers. Only thing is I wish they gave bigger slices of lemons. Other than that 9.7-10!

    Tried the steak, barbacoa and chicken tacos. All very good. Their red hot sauce is fire and perfect for spice and flavor.

    Los Chapos Tacos - Brandon, FL…read more I've been on a serious hunt for truly authentic Mexican food in the Brandon/Tampa area for years, and this little hole-in-the-wall next to the HCA hospital absolutely nailed it. I ordered the Al Pastor burrito -- twice in one week -- specifically to test consistency. Both visits were outstanding. The flavors were vibrant and clean: fresh pineapple, bright cilantro, perfectly seasoned meat, and you could even pick up subtle notes of cinnamon. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and genuinely authentic, not over-processed or masked with heavy sauces. What really stood out was the care. The staff checked on me while I was eating, genuinely wanting to make sure everything was right. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being in someone's kitchen -- that comforting "grandma making sure you're fed right" kind of energy. Warm, welcoming, and personal. I've traveled extensively in Mexico and lived in Florida for years trying to find a place that hits the mark for real Mexican flavor -- and this place absolutely delivers. Hands down, this is the best Mexican food I've found in this area in a long time. If you're anywhere near Brandon and love authentic Mexican food, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

    I love their BIRRIA Tacos!!!! if you haven't tried them you are truly missing out. They're located…read moreright across from the hospital so they're easy to find. And the ambience of this second location is super cute and makes for some good content. The staff is super friendly and the food is always made fresh. You can't go wrong.
