Texas Joe's - Two meat bowl - Food Trucks Near Me

Texas Joe's visited our neighborhood last night and everything was great! I had a bowl with picadillo and my husband had the brisket quesadilla. This is a must try truck if you see them out and about. They were also super friendly and responsive throughout the booking process, which I really appreciated! read more

I visited Texas Joe's when their food truck was catering an event I was attending. The woman working the widow was upbeat. Even in repeating the same information and menu over and over again, her voice remained positive. She answered people's questions thoroughly. Menu choices were either tacos or a bowl. Choice of beef, chicken or veggies. Food was up quickly. They may be known for their brisket, but let's stop for a minute and talk about their chicken. Chicken was tender, flavorful and plentiful. One could see the seasoning all over the chicken. It was my absolute favorite part of the tacos. Cabbage was crisp and fresh. If you tell them you like is spicy, they will include a little container of spicy salsa. There was a lingering smokey heat from the salsa. I was not as wowed by the brisket as I was the chicken. When I was asked if I wanted rice, I replied no. The dish came with rice anyway. read more

Sorry be post a negative but it's just not that good. The people are nice but I would want to know before I spend my money if possible. Just my opinion. read more

We kicked off Spring Break by having a food truck day at school AND it was amazing! The brisket is absolutely the best in the tri-state, HANDS DOWN! If you see their truck out and about I would definitely stop by and give it a try. I also loved that they offers shrimp and ahi tuna for lent options. Woohoo! read more

Texas Joe's - Food Trucks Near Me

If there were 10 stars we would give Chef Joe & Niko 12+!! Their food is delicious and only surpassed by their incredible hospitality and service. Our family of 7 loves all of their options, and we even have a vegetarian among us. Can't even pick a favorite!! Whenever we are at an event w/foodtrucks we make them our first stop. We have also booked them for family graduation parties and fundraising events and guests continue to rave about how good their food is!! Niko has a smile that lights up any event and she works her tail off too ~ they both do! They also do a lot of good for their community and that means a lot to us. You won't regret having them at your event! read more

My husband and I decided to try this food truck because it was the only truck at the event with a vegetarian option. I applaud them for having a vegan/vegetarian option, but it could use some improvement. Basically, it was a bowl of cabbage with a few veggies and some rice on top. A $14 bowl of cabbage, which is the same price as the bowl with meat. It was about 90% cabbage. It had a small drizzle of some sort of guacamole dressing, it was rather dry and needed more dressing. It had about six black beans on top. A vegetarian needs at least half a cup of beans to get some decent protein. Also, the other veggies were sparse, only a few pieces of squash, zucchini and peppers. The saffron rice is not vegan because it is cooked with chicken broth (it would taste just as good with veggie broth btw). The food tastes good, but could definitely use some improvement on the vegetarian/vegan options. read more

They were outside O'Bryan's in Loveland yesterday, tried the brisket taco, it was excellent! The lady was very friendly, the mood was great, the truck colorful and did I mention the taco excellent?! Chilango next door is ok but is more a sit-down. Nice to see food options that are not​ chains. The closest authentic Mexican is towards Fairfield, Mason's scene is too.. Ohio-fied for my taste. Come back often please! read more

We tried the Chipotle Chicken Taco today at the Union Center Food Truck Festival. It was incredibly good! Quality ingredients and low prices = WIN! The taco was $4 and was overstuffed! I don't typically like black beans, but the black bean salsa was very good. The slaw and cheese on the taco were top notch. I will definitely eat here again next time I see them out. read more

Texas Joe's - Chipotle Chicken Taco (I had to take a bite before snapping the photo!!) - Food Trucks Near Me

This is one of my favorite local food trucks. The owners are so nice and genuinely excited to provide amazing food. The 12hour brisket is worth it. The servings are perfect and I've never had to wait too long. read more

Last month was the second annual Food Truckin' for Josh Cares down on Fountain Square. Over $33,000 was raised for Josh Cares, an organization that make sure no seriously ill child feels alone and afraid while hospitalized. It is estimated that over 1,500 people gathered on the square during the three-hour event to sample food from 10+ Cincinnati food trucks. I can attest to the large crowd, as it was packed upon my arrival just before 1 PM. I was only able to sample food from one truck, but fortunately it was one that was new to me. Joseph Garcia, owner of Texas Joe, was born and raised in the heart of the South, Houston, Texas. According to his website, "His food comes from generations of family home cooks that didn't measure or use recipes." With the exception of the tortillas, Garcia prepares all the items on his menu from scratch. He offers quesadillas, tacos and tostados with a variety of meat: including chipotle pulled chicken, braised beef brisket and 12-hour hickory smoked pork. Unfortunately it seems that Texas Joe was working with an abbreviated menu for the food truckin' event. The only thing on the menu for the day was tacos (1 for $4), however they were not the standard tacos either. Normally the tacos come topped with black bean and corn salsa, shredded cabbage, and grated cotija cheese, which sounds awesome! The tacos for this day did not have the salsa or cabbage but were instead served topped with a mix of sautéed vegetables. Both the chipotle chicken and the vegetables tasted good, but they did not blend well together and I found it to be a rather odd combination. I really wish I could have tried to taco as advertised on the standard menu, as it sounds so much better than the funky combination I was served on this day. The food was freshly prepared and tasted good, but I feel that it wasn't a very Tex-Mex inspired dish. I look forward to seeing Texas Joe out again so that I can try the true "Legal Menu." read more

We had the 3 amigos. They were the bomb dot com. Omgsh. So good!!!!!!! So much flavor and taste. Best Tex mex ever.

Truck setup shop in the parking lot of our office complex. I was quickly greeted by Joe himself who had a nice display of a few menu items to give you a sense for what you were about to get yourself into. Joe was very pleasant and personable. I tried both the beef brisket taco ($5) and chipotle chicken taco ($4). Beef brisket is definitely what you are looking for here... very fresh taste, with excellent flavoring of the beef. Chicken taco was better than average, but don't bother if the brisket isn't already sold out. Hard to pony up $5 for a medium size taco, but worth it. As mentioned, he had a display of exactly what you would get so no complaints here. read more

Texas Joe's - Food Trucks Near Me

I always get super excited to see fellow Texans out here in Cincy! So when I saw Texas Joe's food truck, I knew I had to try it. I ordered the brisket quesadilla ($10), and enjoyed it! I hear that they make everything by scratch here (except for the tortillas), and I really admire that. The brisket was more like slow-cooked beef than brisket...It was not smoked, so I'm not sure if I would call it authentic Texas brisket. But it was still VERY tasty, so I'll overlook that. The quesadilla was cheesy and filling, get the sour cream on top and make sure to dip it in that delicious salsa on the side! The salad it was served with was bland and needed a dressing or something, we didn't even eat it. I don't really like the "Legal Mexican" jokes...They make me a little uncomfortable (as a child of immigrants, maybe I just don't get the joke). But the people working here seemed to be very nice. Overall, I thought the food was good and I would probably order from them again. read more

I went to the Bellevue Farmer's Market and saw a food truck. Nice addition. While I enjoy shopping. I get hungry but most things we buy there are for take home. It was good to see a food truck to scratch that hunger itch. There's not much to say. They not only satisfied my food truck requirements of serving decent food hot and quick but used fresh ingredients that could have been bought off the farmer at the market that morning. There was simply a lightness and freshness to the tacos. My wife and I shared two tacos ($7). We'd both had a bite before coming so were happy to share but two would make a nice lunch. read more

Got to try Texas Joes for the first time today at the Taste of Cincinnati and while it was good, it wasn't mind-blowing. My husband ordered the chicken tacos with extra hot sauce and while he said they were good, they were extraordinarily bland for having "extra hot sauce" on them. I had the BBQ brisket taco, which was truly delicious. It definitely wasn't as good as the Korean BBQ tacos I had at the Red Sesame food truck, but it was still very enjoyable. What wasn't enjoyable was how disorganized the order-taker was. We really didn't have to wait that long, but our order was mistakenly given to another couple and they didn't realize till they caught a glance of us waiting, at which point they said, "oh! We just gave your order away." Yeah, I noticed. They resubmitted our order and a few minutes later we were on our way. Overall, food's good and I would probably go back in a less hectic environment where they could better handle the volume of orders coming in. read more

Very good food?? Louie was right, you're a cool Legal Mexican!! Milagro is a good Tequila!! Best of luck!! Go get them!! read more

My friend and I had Texas Joe's at OTR Beerfest and it was fantastic! The tacos were delicious and the gentleman (I'm assuming the owner) in the truck was so nice. After we got our food, he thanked us and gave me his card and said "Here's my green card." I'd definitely get more tacos... if only I could find the truck... read more

I had Texas Joe's at the Fort Thomas art around town festival. The brisket quesadilla is out of this world. Very unique and very delicious. The people who run Texas Jose were incredibly kind and wonderful to talk to. The food all looked great and I would gladly get it again if I found them out and about. read more

This is my favorite food truck in Cincinnati. I will plan festival season around where Texas Joe's will be. The brisket taco is the best in town. read more

My husband and I visited this food stand one afternoon while at the Bellevue Farmer's Market. We caught them right as they were starting to pack up the booth, but they eagerly agreed to make us lunch. I had the pulled pork quesadilla and my husband had the pork tacos. They were both excellent! The ingredients were fresh, spices were awesome and I can't wait for the weather to start warming up again so we can go back. Go down and check this guy out when you have a chance. You won't regret it! read more

Had the brisket tacos! Wow! (Though it's illegal haha) best I have ever had! The slaw topping was amazing with the nectar agave!! Mouthwatering! Can't wait to stalk this truck!! read more

Would Love to leave a better review for this Truck but now 2x in the last week it has failed to show at the location it was intended. I did not bring lunch because the Menu looked like something i would enjoy and they decided not to show up. The first time they claimed mechanical error and no excuse for the 2nd time. They have lost me as a customer for life and I will never give them my money going forward. read more

I didnt even get to take a picture because my daughter ate her tacos so fast. She got the brisket and loved it! I cant wait to try it again. The drunken shrimp sounds amazing. read more

My company hired these guys to serve us lunch. Amazing food. The owner may be " the legal Mexican", but his brisket taco should be a controlled substance. It could really be habit forming. read more

Chipotle chicken tacos were good but the beef brisket tacos rocked. Both my husband and I will get these again.

This place is awesome, plain and simple. It's reasonably priced for what it is, good quality food that is mildly filling. That being said, if nothing else, stop by and get a fresh squeezed lemonade. The place rocks, check it out. read more

Very disappointed in the Chipotle Chicken Taco. Line moves slow, price with bottled water was $11.00 and I tossed it after eating just a few bites. Full disclosure, I wasn't aware it was on a bed of cabbage. I was told by others around it was "like Chipotle" but there was no rice and no yummy taste. I could have almost bought two Chipotle burrito bowls for the price of one of these things and I never throw Chipotle away. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food for reasonable prices this is the place. Fast and friendly and even offers seating out front. They are the best tacos I have had and one hit the spot. The fixings on the taco were fresh and we obviously done by hand and made very recently. I will visit again on Wed. or Sat. in Believe at the Party Source. Does anyone know where to find them on the other days? Flash food mob kind of place, who is with me? read more

Local, fresh & full of flavor! Wonderful afternoon for Texas Joe's. I will definetly be back!

Texas Joe's is amazing! The food is literally farm fresh and full of flavor! The staff is great and Joe (the chef) is always around to tell you exactly what ingredients go into each item! The atmosphere of the Farmer's Market is wonderful, and I found out that the truck also does private events! Overall, this is a great place to eat! read more

Where can I start the staff is so friendly which is a plus for a good business. The food is awesome I had a quesadilla and it was incredible, by far the best quesadilla ive had in a good while. And its incredible that every single vegetable is bought there in the farmers market. The freshly squeezed lemonade is a great way to start the morning. I will surely be coming back. Great food, and great people! Thanks guys. read more

I tried Texas Joe's food truck at the Bacon Fest at Coney Island. I was pleased to see that they offered a vegetarian option even though it was bacon fest. The lady who took my order was polite and asked all kinds of questions to make sure what kind of vegetarian I was to cater to my tastes. She also let me know it may take a moment because they would cook it separate from the other foods on the grill. It didn't take very long and it wasn't bad. It was decently priced as well. read more
