I love this food and have had it twice now. Once outside a brewery in Frederick, once when we had them provide on-demand food for a big party we held. Everyone loved this. Everything was delicious... the sauces are very good... the corn desert was a hit with the late teens and 20 somethings... the tacos --eveything really-- is authentic! Not too expensive. Completely reliable. Delicious!!! read more

The food truck was parked outside Attaboy, which was convenient to grab a snack. We ordered the Totopo chips, which were to come with salsa, pico and queso. White they did indeed come with these items, the way they were served was very odd. Basically we had a bowl of tortilla chips, which were quite flavorless and a bit stale, then dixie cups with pico, sour cream, and room temp gelatinous cheese sauce. Very odd in the serving method, not a fan. read more

went to the storefront today with my parents after my dad heard how great this place was - DAMN did he hear right! we got the street corn, crispy quesadilla, tacos, burrito and nachos with varying meats across the board. everything was excellent, the only thing i could be nitpicky about is the chicken could've used a bit more seasoning in my opinion, but was cooked very well. passed that, the flavor of the pastor, the brisket, the birria and corn were AWESOME! will be coming back again for sure. read more

While venturing out and about. This place always caught my eye. My friends and I stopped and got tacos. The place is very small. The owner was very nice and our food was made fresh. They were delicous. They have picnic tables in the back, However bring a bug spray cuz they flies were all over. Reasonably priced too. Definitely coming back to try other stuff. read more

Decided to try TAM after our first order from the BUCKEYSTOWN storefront was a major fail. Seventy dollars worth of food went into the trash because no one could eat it. The tasteless meat was difficult to identify, and everything was greasy. Perhaps we tried them on an off night. It was much of the same at a Frederick brewery where the food truck served the same greasy, tasteless overpriced unrecognizable food. The great reviews can only be attributed to the effect of alcohol. Everyone in our group of six really wanted to like TAM but felt duped and won't be trying it again. Taco Bell's mystery meat has this place beat. Wish i could give zero stars. read more

We booked Traditional Authentic to bring their food truck to our wedding rehearsal dinner. We had about 80 guests, and while people did have to wait in line for food, the food was SO DELICIOUS. We had an awesome experience coordinating with them ahead of time, they were really well-priced, and they were really kind and gracious to our guests while serving the best food ever! Highly recommend. read more

This place is the real deal. When we moved to Maryland from California, we searched high and low to find really good Mexican food. The 1st 18 months, while living in Silver Spring, we got our Mexican food fix from a taco truck parked at a gas station. We aren't fancy people. After moving to Urbana, the search continued. After hit and miss, we stumbled upon a new storefront in Buckeystown, that was being opened to support their food truck business. Our long search was over. We visit Traditional Authentic Mexican Food's storefront at least once a month. They make traditional Mexican tamales, like the ones found in bakeries in East LA. We have ordered and enjoyed them for the last 2 years. Their street tacos are amazing - get the Pastor. You're welcome The enchiladas; delicious. The street corn - OMG. And the ownership is wonderful. Teressa single-handed saved our Hanukkah celebration. Thank you Their food trucks can be found frequently at various local breweries, serving selections from their menu. They can cater parties and weddings. They have supported local school PTAs through Food Truck nights. Please support this restaurant and other local businesses so that we can have good options in our neighborhoods. Below is a photo of the logo on their storefront and trucks. I would post food photos, but we ate the evidence read more

Traditional Authentic Mexican Food - Great local food from a business that supports other local businesses. - Food Trucks Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I love them. The tacos and elote are amazing. We follow them to see where their food truck is all the time. They also seem to understand Celiac, which is great for me. Never had a negative experience read more

I went to attaboy brewery to enjoy some beers and it happened to be the only food truck available so I thought I'd give it a shot even though I'm a tough critique when it comes to Mexican food and having the name authentic is typically a red flag. I should've just sticked to my gut because my meal genuinely upset me. This place definitely takes advantage of the fact people are drinking and will pay anything for some food since they can't drive anywhere else . The burrito I got was 17 dollars and was tiny filled with rice and barely any meat. Easily the most expensive burrito I've ever purchased and the smallest. I don't even like chipotle like that but I'd go there any day over this place read more

Overpriced & underwhelming Watch out for unmarked prices for items things tend to cost 3 times more than they should. read more

SO GOOD! The flavors are just outta-this-world amazing! Will definitely order again :)

Delicious! That's all I can say. My tastebuds had the time of their life. I had this wonderful food at an event that I attended, and I was in heaven. I loved their wings, the street corn, and everything on the menu that evening. Only because, was at a catered event I had to eat what was there, I need to go check out the food truck and try the foods that I really love. So I will be back with an update once I do. However, my first impression and experience has me dying to taste more! read more

Every time we've ever had this food truck we love it! No complaints. Understanding of Celiac also.

We love all the food trucks you can find around Frederick at various locations and events, but one of our favorites (by far!) is this one! We've ordered from them more than once and the food was fantastic regardless of circumstances such as time of day, location, or how busy they were at the moment. The fried quesadilla is a must try! read more

See all

Authentic !!! The Brisket Burritos, Brisket Tacos, and Birria Tacos are our favs. No seating inside so plan on take out order. We are lucky to live near their brick & mortar spot in Buckeystown MD. Worth a visit if your in the Frederick MD area. read more

The street tacos I ordered were overpriced and poorly prepared. The chorizo was dry, the chicken was undercooked, and the carnitas had too much fat and no flavor. read more

Tacos had very little flavor, no seasoning. Veggie tacos had weird sand-like grit within which was pretty gross. Day after my wife had stomach pains, won't be back. read more

These folks are the BEST food truck in the area. We've been loyal customers since before the pandemic started and Karina is just such a lovely and caring person. The food is so good that we asked them to cater our wedding and it was fabulous. You MUST try the street corn when you go - it's a special treat! Our favorite is the fried quesadilla, but the whole menu is excellent. read more

The Food is Amazing.. I have had to Chorizo Burrito 2 times now .. 1/2 is more than enough ( I'm 6'1" 240 lbs .) Messy .. hell yea ! Because it is Hugh .. flavor is Great & if you like Spicy Salsa.. ( not Violent at all , but Spicy ) it is Great !! Guy that works with me has got the Tacos both times ( 1 chicken, 1 chorizo & 1 Brisket) each time ... "fantastic " .. read more

The truck came to our neighborhood and my wife and I never pass up a chance for a taco truck. The tacos (carnitas, al pastor, chorizo, chicken), loaded nachos, and street corn were excellent. The nice woman who helped us also gave me some treats for my dog Luna as well! Definitely recommend and can't wait for them to come back to our neighborhood in May! read more

What kind of main food business advertises a phone number with their own personal phone? They answer and just say hello and ask like it is a random caller. It is so hard to place an order here and when you do it's insanely overpriced, which would be fine if you could actually place the order? Definitely will not give this place a chance again as they are more worried saving a couple dollars over a business phone... read more

The food truck came to our community tonight. We ordered a nacho, 3 fried quesadias, 1 burrito and a large fries. I paid around 65 dollars with 9 dollars for the tip. Before I left I asked the server to make sure that the fries were in the bag, and the guy told me yes. When I opened it at home, no fries. I went back and told him politely that the fries weren't there, and he responded very rudely saying that it was a mistake from the kitchen and that he had nothing to do with it. He then blamed me for not checking the order before I left, then handed me a $10 bill saying here's a refund. No apologies for their mistake, no attempt to make amends, just rudeness and pointed fingers. Very disappointed in the service and will not be ordering again. You shouldn't treat your customers like this. read more

I scheduled this truck to be at my community pool months ago. Not only did they not show up, I called when they were almost an hour late. They called me back to say they would send a replacement with a similar menu. Then nothing. When I tried to call back to just know if we should make other plans for food. NOTHING. I sent messages just asking if they could confirm so we could make other plans... NOTHING. so disappointed read more

i really hate to do this but 30$ for an undercooked loaded fry with unmelted cheese and whatever the mystery meat was that they called Asada and undercooked dry chicken sopes with beans outta a can is crazy read more

Thursday is tamale night! 10 tamales, $20, order through Instagram and the website. This food truck is amazing. Locally owned, super fresh and frankly delicious. They are so nice and easy to order from and everything is amazing. We are going to be ordering weekly- order early in the week to make sure you get your tamales :). They are outside Attaboy Beer for pick ups. read more

Tried TAM a few weeks ago and was disappointed. Got a variety of the tacos and the meat was dried out. Thought not to worry, the sauces could save the meal. Unfortunately they provided only 2 very small containers of sauce and they were only half filled. It was the end of the night and thought maybe they were running out of food. Not a good way meal, but we all have our bad days. Decided to give them another chance today. Tried the brisket burritos locos. Very big portions. But they had much more rice and beans inside than brisket. Again very little sauce. "Fool me twice shame on me." The only saving grace was the street corn. It was very good and why I added a second star. Would do the corn any time but would look for another food truck around for the rest of my meal. read more

Took my wife and kids there last night for some tacos. We loved how fresh the meat tasted and salsas were delicious as well. I loved how the quesadillas were crunchy and cheesy with the right amount of meat to it. The owners were very nice and stopped by and checked in on us. Looks very promising and I can't wait till they start serving beer which hopefully will be very soon. We will be back again. read more

Please come to 8560 Progress Drive. This is the address of the Advanced Technology Research Facility of the NCI, and hundreds of scientists and support staff work here. There is no palatable food available and the closest restaurant is miles away. You will probably not be allowed to access the parking lot, but if someone on your crew arrives early, say 7 AM, they could scope out a parking spot on the road just outside of the visitor entrance. I KNOW employees would crowd out there after decent food around lunch time. Best wishes, David Waugh, Ph.D. read more

My husband and I booked Traditional Authentic Mexican Food's food truck for our wedding and could not have been happier with the their work. Not only was the food fantastic (so many wedding guests raved about it) but their team stepped up to the plate when the second food truck we had booked for our wedding dropped out the day of. Without batting an eye, the team stepped up to the plate to provide enough food for our guests and did so with a smile on their faces. We had a great experience overall with the owner, Karina. I would recommend the food truck for anyone looking to book a food truck for their wedding or other special event. read more

I don't know how they don't have a yelp yet! So this is a food truck by the way. The address listed here is just their PO box. But you will find them at Atta Boys and Olde mother on occasion. They post their locations on their website. They're posted up at the Frederick county fair this week so if you make your way over I highly recommend you go check them out! They have the best tacos I have had in Maryland thus far. The brisket is too perfect, chicken is perfectly tender and their cheese to meats ratio is always on point in every dish I've had. Their quesadillas are like nothing I've ever had before. You will not get some little squished tortilla bread with cheese melted inside. Instead you get a delicious puff pastry fried to perfection and then oozing with delicious ingredients. I have yet to try their sopes, but those are definitely next on my list and I am sure they will not disappoint. They offer three hot sauces to compliment your meal. Mild, spicy and hot. The hot is actually fire so if you love spicy food it will not disappoint, but if you think let me dump this on, it's probably not that fiery, your mouth will burn like the center of the sun. So take it easy! Vegetarians, have no fear, they have you cover as well. Not only is the food great, but the service is also superb. The owners are so nice. I love this little Frederick gem. So if you are feeling like some awesome, authentic Mexican food look them up and see where they are posted up next. read more

Agree with other review that the food is dry and bland. More importantly the food you receive does not match the pictures on the menu. Burrito was burnt and extremely greasy. It was presented wrapped in aluminum foil but cut in half carelessly. As a result, I had pieces of aluminum foil in my food.... Street corn was basically corn soup; way too much liquid. It seemed like food was rushed and soda wasnt even refrigerated. Not likely that I'll come back. read more

So delicious! As much as I thought I enjoyed Mexican food, it's now clear to me that I have been doing it wrong for decades. This place has elevated my perception of Mexican cuisine. I've tried their tacos, sopes, fried quesadillas and the nachos. All were fantastic but I must say that the sopes and fried quesadillas are many degrees above just about any other Mexican dish I've ever eaten. Everything is fresh and appears made to order. The meats are on par with high end BBQ. The shells for the sopas and quesadillas are clearly made in house. Cool crunchy lettuce. Great salsas. Real Cotija cheese. Can't think of a critique. We discovered this place on a Saturday and ordered from them two more time before a week had passed. read more

It was alright. Normally wouldn't complain about having too much meat, but it was dry and a bit bland. Followed a street taco recipe, but proportions were off. Do yourself a favor and go to Tacos Carlitos instead. They make those tacos with love and they have tongue and tripe too. Supa Legit. (Not factoring this into the score, but they're also the type to call the customer wrong when they F-up an order.). Other legit option is Cafe Bueno. read more

Top notch Mexican food that is indeed traditional. The beef brisket tacos are absolutely fabulous. The street corn is just like you find in Mexico and is treat to experience. This is a food truck that was parked at Vanish Farmwoods Brewery in Luckett's, VA. A real treat in Mexican food. read more

This food truck is BANGIN! Had it today at Mad Science Brewery in Adamstown, Md. WOW. If you like street tacos, look no more. I had the Al Pastor, Chorizo, and Chicken and all were outstanding. Wife had the brisket tacos and were great. They reminded her of her grandfathers' in the same style. Fresh. Simple. Garnish with cilantro and onion and a lime on side...only negative was the lime wedge could've been slightly larger? But thats digging for a negative and should be least of worries lol ....flavors were on point! Deep flavors. And the tortillas were done right too. Overall a great experience as service was with a smile and the food was authentic and flavor was a knockout. The salsas that came with it had great flavor n heat too! I will be in line whenever i see them. Keep up the good work!!!! Paired with a great beer and I'm a happy camper. read more

We were so excited to try the tacos from their food truck. WORST TACOS WE HAVE EVER HAD. The only one worth eating was the vegetarian taco. The meat in the chicken and al pastor tacos was SO dry, we took a few bites, then tossed them in the trash. Service was friendly, but when the food tastes bad, well, that only goes so far. read more
