    Chorizo y huevos con frijoles. Mexican Coke
    TC V.

    Breakfast tacos were pretty good. Chorizo y huevo was really good. I added frijoles to them.. Wish tortillas were homemade but I understand cost wise... still came out good.. Also grabbed a Mexican Coke..

    Carnitas tacos

    What can I say, these tacos weren't bad at all. I wasn't a fan of the chicken tacos at all. The Chicken was very bland and dry. The beef fajita tacos were okay also.The carnitas were my favorite, very juicy very flavorful next time. I will get them on corn tortillas instead of flour. I will be back to try more of their menu items.

    We've been coming to this small local taco place at least once a week. However they forgot our streak burrito even tho we paid for it. That's not very sigma of them and having to drive all the way back here wasting gas again with how high their prices are, thanks to Biden and Kamala. This taco bus ain't as good as the battle bus. GG won't be coming here ever again.

    Someone told us this was the best taco truck around so of course we had to go and check it out. I believe it was $61 for 13 tacos, horchata, and a coke. Had some chicharron tacos as well as carnitas. The tacos were good, I don't think it was the best I've had because of the meat but they were still good. They have a lot of seating here for a taco stand. They also have some talking parrots which didn't talk to us when we went. The woman did speak English, just order your food and wait for to pick it up. They were out of a few things when we went but not a big deal. I recommend this place it wasn't bad at all, but I wouldn't say it was the best I had, and a little more pricy than the rest of the places I've been.

    Not much seating

    So so so good! Fairly priced tacos, aguas frescas y tortas. Everything was so yum Completely outdoors.

    Listen, this place isn't here to impress you. It's a taco truck next to a chicken coop that's open 24-hours a day, what can possibly be expected? I find it hella charming to see the chickens pecking around while you eat, but in the eyes of food health and safety? Not so sure. I visited around 2PM on a Monday and only waited a couple minutes, so I didn't experience the monumental wait time others are complaining about. The gal that took my order did not seem pleased to be alive, but again, what ought I expect? Took maybe 5 minutes tops for my tacos. I got a chorizo (full menu all day) and two chorizo as well as a cuppa corn. Good, solid, a teeny bit small. The cilantro and onion was perfect to have but could have used more. Salsa is okay and served in little dime bags, which made me laugh. I tried the flour today and they were good! Pillowy and soft. I'll try the corn next and definitely some al pastor. Someone who reviewed this mentioned it's good but I didn't see it on the menu otherwise I would have ordered it. The weather was good and I got to eat outside among the fowl and highway 6 traffic. It's a unique experience, and considering I can come any time, day or night, I could see this becoming a solid staple in my repertoire.

It gets pretty full during peak hours but plenty of seating also on their patio. I love dining in and trying all the salsas they have to offer. The creamy salsa verde and cry baby has to be my favorites. Their Birria tacos and quesabirria is really good. Don't forget to wash it all down with a big cup of horchata. You definitely leave this spot contemplating what you would order next time because it's that good!

Got two steak tacos, a grande steak, quesadilla, a side of chips that came with a variety of house sauces, and ended with the churros. To start, the tacos were simple being topped with onions and cilantro, and coming on corn tortillas. The quesadilla was made with a generous filling of steak and cheese. Lastly, one of my favorite parts of the meal was getting to try all the different house salsas that they had. As expected, the restaurant was packed as it was Cinco de Mayo and taco Tuesday. It was a fun, busy environment, every table was filled inside and outside seating. Definitely a great spot to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the heart of the city!

Food comes out immediately but there is no seating so be ready to eat outside/in your car. Definitely recommend the plato especial for best value. This plate is definitely enough for 2-3 to share.

Pricing is fair for the quality you get, so no complaints there. Just keep in mind it's cash only, no cards or online payments. The lines are almost always long no matter the time of day, but they move quickly, so the wait isn't bad. I usually grab a pink lemonade as well, which hits every time. Out of all the locations, El Taconazo is definitely the one to go to, hands down some of the best tacos you'll find on Fulton St.

One of my friends took me here and we all got to try a lot of stuff. We ordered: Horchata (small for $3.49), Quesadillas with beef, Quesadillas with chicharron, Gorditas with beef, and Gorditas with chicharron. I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost. The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.

There's a parking lot, but we went on the weekend, and while the interior didn't look overly full, it was somewhat difficult to find a parking spot. The restaurant itself is clean. Everything is pretty much green and white. There's covered patio seating. You order from a window and there's a large menu printed nearby The menu offers all sorts of tacos, meats, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, quesabirras, sides, and even kids meals. You can get beer, margaritas, and non-alcoholic drinks. There's also a breakfast menu The food was good, and it didn't take too long to come out. My main issue was the service. The individual taking orders seemed to have a bit of an attitude and just seemed "over it." Furthermore, we mentioned having a queso coupon and when we were given the total I placed my card on the reader and I was told that I did it too fast and the queso wasn't taken off. The odd thing was, we walked away and realized that they didn't add the queso and the coupon was for free queso so they could have just rung up an additional queso. This individual had the vibe of eye rolling everything, and it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth Some tips: You can order online to avoid any wait. Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did! Cheers!!
