5 Stars -- Worth the Stop! Total hidden gem in Elgin! The Taco Stop may look like a little ramshackle joint from the outside, but don't let that fool you. The line was out the door when we arrived, and they burned through it fast -- thanks to a small but mighty team of four working hard in the back, cranking out fresh homemade tortillas like pros. I had the large bacon, egg, and cheese taco -- the bacon was perfectly crisp, not greasy, and full of flavor. Their spicy tomatillo salsa was a standout -- bright, bold, and just the right kick. My husband got the fajita beef taco and was seriously impressed with the flavor and portion size. Quick service, real ingredients, and food that hits the spot. Definitely stopping here again next time we're passing through!

CASH ONLY - Venmo and Cash App accepted This was hands down the most wonderful breakfast taco experience I have had in a long long time. The food is delicious, the staff working has to be either family or best of friends, and they were FAST. My tacos were waiting for me in a bag before I was done paying. The man that took my order was extremely kind. I did not have cash on hand and my phone service was out. He wrote his info on the bag, and told me to pay when my phone got service. This is the love that you get from supporting local businesses. I called 3 people about my experience and recommend all to support this business. You will not be disappointed. I will be back every single time I am in Elgin.

Migas & potato egg n cheese. Excellent!!

CASH ONLY: Passing through and definitely worth the stop! Homemade tortillas, yay! Kind and friendly staff. Just loved the gentleman who just waited on me!! By the way, the line and wait was normal. They were moving through people quickly. Don't pay attention to the pettiness in other reviews.

Knew this taco truck had a line to the highway. Knew it was gonna be good.

We have driven past this "hole-in-the- wall" taqueria so many times traveling back and forth to the…read moreHouston area. If you blink driving through Elgin you will miss this wonderful restaurant. We were definitely getting hangry on our return trip, and Yelp thankfully directed us here. Since it was late at night, they were not busy. They do have daily specials, but we went our ole faithful, enchiladas. We did start with chips and salsa. These chips are solid and allow you to scoop up their slightly spicy and rich salsa. I ordered their Tex-Mex enchiladas. These are 3 large enchiladas. I ordered one of each chicken, beef, and cheese. They arrived stuffed to the gills and covered with awesome queso. The dish comes with a generous portion of beans and Mexican rice. Taqueria Guadalajara is the real deal, and we will definitely be returning on our next road trip. I left just like my enchiladas pleasantly "stuffed to the gills"! As others have mentioned, the building has seen better days, but the food and service are superb! ,

This is the only place we go to in Elgin for Mexican food because it is simply the best one and is always packed with locals. Food comes out hot and fresh each time. We love the breakfast tacos here and haven't had anything we haven't liked. It's a small restaurant so there is limited seating but service is fast. Do I recommend this place? Yes the only place I recommend in Elgin for Mexican food

I randomly came across this food truck as I was craving buche tacos and this was one of the few…read moreplaces that actually have that option of meat. It is a bit of a drive for me since it's in Elgin but very well worth it. They have a good variety of meats but my favorite is of course their buche. I initially came here for tacos but after having trying their buche quesadilla (sooo incredibly yummy!!!), I started getting that instead. For quesadillas you get an option of the size. I usually go with the large which they prepare with an 8" tortilla I believe. It usually fills me up. Outside of how delicious the food is, I love how they give you a side of grilled onions as part of the meal. I would put those into either the tacos or quesadilla for that extra flavor. Also, they provide 3 different sauces. This creamy green salsa sauce they have is soooo good. The food typically comes out fairly quick as well so that's also another plus.

My wife and I had seen this truck when we were in the area for groceries. We were always passing by…read moreand decided to finally make a stop. It seemed to be two trucks combined, a lot of food options, it'll take you some time to look through the menus taped all over the trucks. There is some outdoor seating, but it was too hot during the day for us to have enjoyed our meal so we took our order to go. The young woman who took our order was very nice and kind in taking our order. I'm a big barbacoa fan so it's the first thing I looked for on the menu. I ordered a barbacoa torta with an horchata to drink. My picture might not make the torta look super appetizing, but it was GOOD. It's hard to find good barbacoa in Austin, but this one was what it should be--moist, tender with some of that "good grease." The bread was super soft and it was a good size for me. The horchata was a color we weren't used to seeing, but when we tried it we loved it! Super refreshing! We will definitely be making more stops here in the future to get our fixes. Would recommend checking it out!
