My family and I went to Taqueria Malverde after visiting Yellowstone National Park and were excited to get dinner that wasn't burgers or sandwiches. The Forbes Yellowstone book mentions it and the Yelp reviews were good, so we decided to give them a try. Taqueria Malverde is open until 9pm most if not all days of the week and they have people lined up outside their truck fight until closing time. Note that this place is a taco truck in West Yellowstone and so they only have outdoor seating and takeout. With that said, they have an extensive menu that is not only limited to tacos but also includes burritos, pozole, tamales, platos, and tortas. The workers all speak fluent Spanish and English. They also make their own fresh tortillas in house. We ordered two PLATO POLLO (CHICKEN) TAMALES ($13.99) and one PLATO CARNE ASADA ($19.99) to go. Note that they only have outdoor seating and the mosquitos are out in the evening. The PLATO TAMALES came with two tamales, but they were unfortunately tasteless and the chicken inside of them was dry. They really needed the salsa verde (or salsa rojo) to give them some taste. The rice and beans were good though. They were maybe 4 inches in length and so one plate can really only fill one person. For $13.99, the plate was pretty steep for what we got. The PLATO CARNE ASADA was slightly better, but not by much. The beef was tough, dry, and stringy and tasted more like jerky than carne asada. It came with 3 small flour tortillas, lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, grilled jalapeño, and avocado. Again, the rice and the beans were the highlight of the meal, although the vegetables tasted fresh. Service was good and we got our food within 15-20 minutes after ordering. So why the one star instead of maybe two or two and a half stars? They only gave us one plate of tamales, even though we paid for two plates. It wasn't until we got back to our hotel in Island Park that we realized we only had two out of three of our dishes. Maybe the plate had gotten left behind or maybe it was poor communication between the cashier and the served. Regardless, we spent $16 more with tax and tip than we received. Rule of thumb: If you go here, make sure to check your order before you leave the truck. Overall: 2/5 for food, 1/5 for service read more

Absolutely delicious tacos and friendly staff. Stopped to try a taco when eating next door at a bbq place and I'm so glad I did. Outdoor seating available! read more

It's a food truck in a small tourist town. I didn't expect too much but the quality is actually very decent. They are fast in taking order and preparing food. We waited for less than 5 minutes. Must try: spicy pork tacos. Veggie quesadilla: the shell was a bit burned, but overall it's a good quesadilla filled with mushrooms. Tamales was ok, I have had better tamales before. read more

After trying the other two taco places in town this place was just alright. The food came out pretty quickly and there were plenty of tables to sit and enjoy our food. The tortillas were homemade but didn't really stick out compared to other ones we tried that day. The chicken taco had no seasoning on it and was dry - good thing we had salsa to fix that! My chorizo taco was good but saltier than my last which was very noticeable. We got a vegetable burrito to go for a friend and she enjoyed her burrito and said it was pretty average. read more

Meat is old and overcooked. I ordered tacos and i had to throw it away. Food is not freshed. Will not come back.

We stopped here after seeing Yellowstone. They had friendly service and had great suggestions. I had the chili relleno with rice and beans (I rate that a five), definitely the best one I've had in a long time (and I try them every chance I get). Everything was very authentic Mexican, even the rice and beans which I also really liked!! . The street tacos were good, liked the pastor meat better (it was juicier) than the steak. We also had the enchiladas which were also very good with good sauce and fresh toppings (just wish they were served hotter (they were lukewarm warm). Ambiance laid back, outside, pet and kid friendly. We would go back and we definitely recommend it. read more

Delicious food and hidden on the side of the main road before getting to the national park, it's off of firehole Ave, better than I expected in this area read more

Great find in West Yellowstone! We got chicken fajitas and a steak torta that was the size of my husband's face! Food was absolutely delicious and the bus is a unique and fun quirky location to order from. Highly recommend! read more

The people are nice but unfortunately the salsa tasted like vinegar and the rice and enchiladas were cold. I've had much better Mexican food in the past. We did a take out order. read more

I really want to try more on the menu. I ordered a burrito which was plenty for two average eaters. Miss Piggy said "Don't eat anything you can't lift." This came dangerously close. The homemade flour tortilla was great. The filling was yummy. I asked for spicy sauce. It was hot but not too hot. However I don't recommend the "al pastor". You weren't going to order that anyway. Outside eating or walk back to your room. read more

Delicious!!! Nice sized portions the kids' quesadillas came with beans & rice. Very friendly staff & verde sauce delicious

Don't be fooled by the closed listing on Yelp-- this food bus is definitely open for business. The line can get pretty long during peak dining and we waited close to 15 minutes for our food. Overall, it was pretty good! + sopes + chorizo and carnitas were the tastiest meats + salsa had a nice kick to it + friendly employees - pollo is shredded and boiled with no flavor at all - menus have changed so don't rely on what is posted on Yelp or previous menu pics read more

3 taco enchilada was delicious, liked it so much I ordered an extra for the road tomorrow. Will definitely be back next time I'm in West Yellowstone. read more

Once not that long ago there wasn't good Mexican food in this town. Today there's maybe too many. Definitely too many tee shirt shops with their cheap gawky wares all over the sidewalks. But, I digress! Through it all the best of the best is still the "taco bus" on Canyon. Been there twice in three days, fantastic food, great value too. Better hurry their last day for the year is 9/23. read more

This place is top tier! Amazing, complex, authentic flavours with fresh ingredients. The cashier recommended the burrito mojado (?) and it did not disappoint - it was the size of a newborn baby! I love that it's not overly salty, greasy, or saucy; the flavours sing for themselves due to the expertise of the chef. read more

The Good: :: local business! cute food truck setup :: lots of outdoor seating :: tasty food. not the best Mexican food i've had, but it is good and reliable :: menu has a lot of offerings--quesadillas, carne asada, fajitas, and more :: go for the horchata--they make it themselves and it's delectable :: friendly service The Bad: :: none The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? For a Mexican food fix while in Yellowstone, sure. It does the job and hits the spot. This place is IN. read more

Get on the bus!!!! Some of best Mexican you will have in Montana. The Asada tacos are to die for!!!!

The Mexican food scene here is not as good as Seattle but still pretty good. This is located at the west entrance of Yellowstone and it's a good truck near firehole bbq. Looking over the menu, I wanted the fish dish but apparently they didn't have it, so we decided to go for the carne asada fries and the taco/enchiladas dish. The taco/enchilada was ok. For the taco, we got lengua, steak and pork. The lengua was my favorite as it was super tender. The other two was standard. The enchilada was ok as well. The carne asada was really good. They use smaller cut fries and did not melt the cheese and gave a lot of meat. Definitely one of the better ones. Price is on the higher side for what I'm use to back at home. The 3 taco and enchilada plate was $10, this would have been ok if it came with rice and beans. The carne asada is $3-4 more than what I usually pay as well. Overall, it was ok read more

Pretty happy we tried the second taco bus in town! We are Sheltering In Place in our travel trailer, and wanted to eat lunch out, but due to Covid, wanted it to be outdoor dining. Two years ago we went to the other taco bus in town, but at that time, we were still eating meat. Now that we are mostly vegetarian with an occasional dip into pescatarian land, and don't eat dairy, it's hard to find Mexican food that works for us and the other taco bus menu looked challenging. Well, this place had shrimp fajitas, so that seemed to be a good fit for us. The food was excellent. The corn tortillas are house made and delicious, soft, thick and warm. The shrimp fajitas were great, and the rice was pretty solid. Very good portion size as well. I was even thinking I could have just asked for the veggies and gotten vegetarian fajitas. I would definitely come back here!! read more

Okay, this place is no joke! It was so good, we had to go back on our way out, and we considered going back a third time just for their food. Any time you can find homemade tortillas, you've found a good place. We tried their street tacos, quesadillas, California Burrito, and been and cheese burrito. It was all delicious. The wait may be long, but you won't regret the quality of food. read more

Located in a neatly done converted 'food bus'. I was surprised by the exceptional food quality. One of the better asada tacos I've had in a while. I enjoyed all the detailed condiments that it came with such as salsa, pickled carrots n jalapeños and lime wedges. Casual and fun novelty experience along with friendly service. Wish we had more time to try other items. We'll be back next time. read more

Delicious food and friendly service! We moved from southern CA to CO a couple of years ago and started making our own burritos because nothing in the area lives up to our standards. But this place in MT sure did! It was delicious!! I will 100% go back if I am in the area. We even joked about getting breakfast here the next day, which was our last day in town. We got a delicious burrito to share and my kid had a quesadilla. I didn't realize that the quesadilla didn't come with anything to dip it in, so I went back - fully expecting her to tell me there was a charge - and she gave me a little cup of sour cream for him! Love it! read more

Tasty Mexican food. Expensive prices but to be expected in Yellowstone. I got the regular burrito for $13 and it was tasty. For that price I would hope for more meat and less lettuce. The flavor is great though. read more

Coming from California we are used to a good Mexican food. This place didn't disappoint. Amazing Mexican food! Personal favorite was Chile Rellano and Lengua Taco. Friendly service. Highly recommend read more

More like a permanent food truck. My family and I can agree that it was some of the best Mexican food we've ever had. Portions were huge. Both employees we spoke to were friendly and the wait time wasn't long. We took ours to go but they have picnic tables with umbrellas around for dining in. There really isn't anywhere to park on site but there's a park across the street with plenty of spaces. read more

Visited this place late night during our stay in white Buffalo hotel in West Yellowstone. Very near to hotel. Easily walk and reach. Food truck are always our fantasy and this visit was definitely inspired by the same. Easy menu to select from. Price not so cheap but reasonable. Food was good not so exceptional. 4/5 overall. read more

This was s a simple taco "bus" in West Yellowstone with outstanding food and customer service. We had the chicken fajitas and the burrito malvado. The fajitas were outstanding and very enjoyable. The burrito was very good, a bit different than anything I tried. They had Mexican coke, which is one of my favorite beverages. The seating area is picnic tables which are very clean. One comment- Unless you make reservations it's hard to find dinner in West Yellowstone. You'll wait an hour or more at anyplace whenever ch has good Yelp reviews. Try this food truck instead. You won't be disappointed. read more

Really delicious Mexican food. Go to place for vegetarians looking for a great Mexican meal with lots of veggie options. The owners are also very friendly and happy to help with vegetarian/dietary needs. read more

My kids called this the Fly Restaurant. The burrito was dry, the horchata was basically from a soda form like those horchata in a bottle/boxed ones, the salsa was watery, & the service -- let's just say, we were there a good 5 mins without anyone talking to us. Mind you, there were only 2 other tables occupied and 2 employees standing by the register. Although, after an employee helped us, they were good & helpful. Lastly, Flies! Flies every where! We weren't enjoying our food because we were busy swatting flies out of our food. read more
