Taqueria Los Chilangos is a solid food truck, serving Mexican favorites. Its truck is located at the Shell gas station at the intersection of 8th and 140th, where they’re open all day. I came here to grab some quick dinner for my boyfriend and me, as I was in the area for a meeting and spotted Taqueria Los Chilangos’ truck. I ordered five tacos, two with carnitas, two with al pastor and one with chupa cabras. For also checking in on Yelp I got free chips and salsa. On a Tuesday around 7pm, there were quite a few people waiting out in the cold for the goods. Of all the tacos, I actually thought the chupa cabras was the best. It’s not something I’d normally choose with street tacos, as it’s a combination of carne asada and chorizo, but I definitely recommend trying it. I’ve never seen this meat option at other taquerias, which is what intrigued me the most. I’m glad it ended up being a favorite. The al pastor tacos were also good, especially with the pineapple on top, which I think all al pastor tacos should have! But the carnitas, which is usually my go-to protein of choice with street tacos, was sadly, disappointing. Meat was very dry; therefore, it was bland. Stick with the chupa cabras and al pastor meats. In addition to tacos, the menu has a lot to offer, including breakfast served all day! (One of these days I’m gonna get a breakfast burrito.) They also have two different salsas that you can choose from, as well as various flavors of Jarritos. There isn’t seating outside of the truck – only a standing table, so not sure if when the weather fares better are when the seats bust out. At least you can park here and eat your grub in your car, which I noticed a few patrons doing. No shame.

El Taco express #1 10th St – Menu with Prices – 4912 NW 10th St, Oklahoma City

You have to be pretty bold to park your taco truck just down the street from the iconic and outstanding Taqueria Sanchez. I’ve driven past several times, but decided today that it was time to stop by. I’m so glad I did. El Taco Express offers the standard taqueria truck fare: street tacos, burritos, tortas, etc. Most tacos are $0.99, with lengua and tripa tacking on another $0.50. They have some soft drinks, water and several varieties of Jarritos. I didn’t see any mention of horchata or aqua frescos. Per my typical first visit, I ordered carnitas, barbacoa and lengua tacos. All of the meats were tender and juicy. The carnitas had a good flavor, as did the barbacoa. I added a little green sauce to the pork, and red sauce to the beef tacos. Both were better than most, and within reach of the best. And while I’m thinking of it, the pickled carrot was nicely flavored. I don’t know what you do to make one pickled carrot better than others, but they need to keep doing what they’re doing. What really stood out was the lengua. It was perfect, and as much as I love the lengua at Taqueria Sanchez and Taqueria El Dolar, this edges them both. The texture and taste is amazing, and is well worth the extra change. So please give this place a try. I can’t imagine you would leave disappointed.

Taqueria El Poblano – Menu with Prices – 652 Broadway, Chula Vista

Yahoo! Sí, the street tacos here are very good! Muy Bueno y Ricos. For the time being, this Taqueria Food Truck is only opened during evening hours. 6 pm till 2 am daily respectfully. I arrived opening on a Friday evening and ordered two al pastor & two beef birria double wrapped street tacos at $2.20 a piece. The beef birria tacos were great, but one has to be careful because the salsa they put on the meat packed some heat. The beef birria was very tasty and even had a very nice aromatic appeal. I loved that it was juicy and tender, and they double wrapped the tacos. The al pastor tacos were delicious. The pork meat was well marinated and they cooked it very well. I liked that it was a mix of crispy pieces and tender pieces of pork. This taco came with chopped cilantro, white onions, and creamy guacamole that’s traditional with these particular street tacos in Mexico. Great stuff indeed. There’s no seafood at this truck, just carne asada, chicken, beef birria, and pork, not that there’s anything wrong with that. There’s a tent with table available. They have salsa available at the tables, and radishes, limes, and cucumbers at the truck. Service was friendly and Claudia was super helpful. I like that they bring the food to you at the tables.

Tacosway Fusion & Street Tacos – Menu with Prices – 12800 Garden Grove Blvd unit b, Garden Grove

These are street tacos done right. I was looking for a place close to my work and I thought, what the hell. So I went and tried it, what a surprise. These tacos would kill anywhere in LA. The place is tucked in a tiny strip mall. And when I say tiny I mean if you blink or sneeze when you’re driving by you’ll miss it. As it is you might miss it anyway. Look hard cause these are some of the best tacos you’ll ever have. They make aguas frescas too, so they have the bona fides. The jalapeño salsa has just the right amount of kick and it’s packed with flavor. But you’re not coming here for salsa, you’re coming here for tacos. Carne asada, al pastor, carnitas, are all here and they’re delicious. The al pastor has nice heat. The carnitas are tender, and the asada has a few crunchy bits that give the meat that extra flavor. For the intrepid out there they have lengua, that’s tongue in case you’re interested, and they have a Korean BBQ taco that even Roy Choi would love. They have tortas (haven’t tried them) and fish tacos too. Prices are way reasonable like street tacos should be. Don’t worry if you forget your cash, they take ApplePay. Just don’t forget your iPhone. The decor is bland but the pictures on the walls make for a good laugh. This isn’t fine dining but worth the visit and the tacos.

Taqueria Amigo Chino – Menu with Prices – 5601 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago

Since I’ve only had tacos 3X’s in the last 3 days I was craving tacos again lol. Tonight is Monday we were driving by Taqueria Amigo Chino on the SW corner of Irving Park & Central Avenue and saw a sign from the Mexican Gods to go to Al Pastor Tacos for $1.39 on Mondays and Thursday. (or it could have been the sign on the window advertising it lol) So we pulled around the block and parked on Central a few doors from the restaurant. The restaurant was fairly busy (go figure for $1.39 Al Pastor tacos). Like most Mexican restaurants they brought us out an order of chips w/3 salsas. Both my wife and I ordered 3 Al Pastor tacos. I’m basing my review solely on the tacos. I’m surprised that Taqueria Amigo Chino is only rated 2 1/2 stars. The tacos that came to table were very good. They were loaded w/Al Pastor, onions & cilantro on 2 corn tortillas. The pork was very good w/a nice crispy texture. The service was good, good food w/street parking along Central Avenue. Remember Monday or Thursday for Al Pastor Tacos for $1.39

Taqueria La Fogata – Menu with Prices – 4623 S 33rd St, Omaha

This place is next door to Donohue’s Pub on L street. I will give this place 3 stars because the service was fast and the food was cheap. The menu is simple: tacos, tortas, burritos, and quesadillas. Meat choices include: Carne Asada Al Pastor Lengua Chorizo Tripe Barbacoa They offer $1 tacos on Thursdays after 5 pm only. The interior is sort of dated and even a little dirty. There are quite a few tables throughout. I know, these can sometimes be the really good places, right? However, the food was only OK. I ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos. The tacos are built with two street taco-sized corn tortillas, meat, cilantro, onions. They come with lime and salsa (red or green). The green (avocado) salsa is actually spicier than the red, which is not common. Overall, stop in on Thursday after 5 pm if you are in the area or next door at the pub. Otherwise, I’d make the trip to Taqueria Tijuana for tacos.

MEXICO BONITO CATERING TRUCK – Menu with Prices – 40648 Fremont Blvd #4305, Fremont

Had to check out the new truck. All of the 5 star reviews made me have to try. Since it was my first time of course I got tacos, 4 of them $8. For $8 at a truck I should leave feeling satisfied right? Nope small street tacos, although a very nice presentation with the spiced onions and definitely Resturante quality I did not leave feeling I got an $8 fill. I think should have came with more meat for spending $8 at a truck on 4 tacos. Maybe should have a deal buy 4 get 1 and fill them. Or a 5 taco plate, nice and full of meat. I’m sure reviews would sky rocket and more people would come. At a truck you look for flavor and expect value and fill. Or at least I do or I’ll just go to a sit down. The meats: (best to last) Al pastor: the best meat I tried, cooked well, cut well, nice and spicy and juicy. He does a great job on this meat. I want to try the burrito with pastor but the burrito is $7 + .50 for all adds, cheese, sour cream, and what ever else. Idk Carne Asada: was pretty decent, I just didn’t have much in my taco to really grasp it. Taco should have been full. Chicken: to my surprise this wasn’t that great, and was cold? usually chicken is a go to easy always good and a staple. Honestly I like my chicken burrito filled with chicken so I look for a balance between taste and qty lol. Over all I give this truck 3.5 stars but this time I round down because I spent $8 and walked away hungry ? Am tempted to try that al pastor burrito but prob won’t be in a rush. Hopefully someone posts a pic and a review on how it was.

Carnitas Michoacan – Menu with Prices – 26972 Rainbow Glen Dr, Santa Clarita

Was at Home Depot so thought I’d give it a shot, small hole in the wall place, right sized menu and the food is made right in front of you, so hopes were up it was authenticate. Ordered “street tacos”, Asada, Pastor and Carnitas with “the works”, also an order of taqueria, “to go”. Grabbed a couple of salas from the bar, green, red and avocado salsas along with pickled carrots, jalapeños and radishes. By the time I got it home, 15-20 minutes, seemed as though the tacos has kind of melted together, so it was hard to separate them, but the meat was good, WARNING: Red salsa is hot, but tasty. All in all, good food and I’ll probably give it another try, maybe eat in as they do have indoor seating.

Taqueria Guadalajara – Menu with Prices – 1810 Rayford Rd, Spring

I really enjoy stopping here for a quick lunch and going to the Infuzion Bubble Tea truck next door while my tacos are being made at Taqueria Guadalajara. I always get 3-4 chicken tacos on corn. They come with cilantro, onions and lime. Their sauces are too spicy for me so I just stick with the lime. They are simple and delicious and $2 each. I got breakfast tacos about a year a half ago and ordered sausage egg and cheese and it came with sliced weiners instead of sausage. I’m not sure if that’s how they normally do it, because I haven’t ordered them since. Regardless, their lunch tacos are yummy so stop by and get some.

Taqueria Mi Guanajuato – Menu with Prices – 3909 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis

[Same as Sosa Foods profile and review] Hole in the wall taqueria counter in a convenience store. These are my favorite kind of finds. Apparently the location has changed hands a few times, with the current iteration a Mexican Taqueria. Meat choices are bountiful, and more varied than the familiar places on Lake Street: carne asada (steak), al pastor (marinated pork), carnitas (pulled pork), chorizo (sausage), lengua (beef tongue), chicken, Picadillo (seasoned beef), y Chili Negro. Additional meats available on the weekend are Cabeza (beef head meat), y Tripas (tripe). Also Menudo (tripe soup) on the weekends. I ordered tripas, cabeza, y lengua in three tacos. If you pay with card they give you a sticky note with the total and go to the checkout counter to pay. At $8.12 for three tacos it’s about right compared to the closest famous taqueria: Pineda Taco at 55 and Lake. However, I thought it was a little high for what the place is. Seriously their rent has got to be a fraction of the competition I will list below. In terms of speed of service for a taqueria they were slow. We’re used to Pineda Taco, El Riendo Taco (NE), El Taco Loco (Columbia Heights), Mercado Central (Lake St) y Maya (NE) where the tacos are immediate. They are slower than Taqueria La Hacienda (Lake St). As for food quality it was yummy. They are a little light on seasoning compared to the competition though. Overall it’s all legit and authentic. They do fill a void in Longfellow where this really is the only place. It would be a fun stop on your way to or from Minnehaha Park, and you don’t want to deal the craziness on Lake Street. Next time I’ll for sure try the Menudo. Minus one star for speed of service and price.

Taqueria Isabel – Menu with Prices – 4950 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Richmond

Feeling a bit peckish and in the mood for some cheap Mexican food, I swung into the auto dealership parking lot where Taqueria Isabel is located on a whim. The unorthodox location only adds to the down-to-earth charm of Taqueria Isabel. At the counter a sweet older woman asked me what I’d like to order. With the full menu tacos painted on the side of the truck, it made selection easy. I ordered a pollo adobado and a carnitas taco. Five minutes and four dollars later my two tacos were freshly packed into an unfortunately not eco-friendly styrofoam container inside a plastic bag. I squeezed my limes and poured the green salsa over my two tacos and rapidly devoured them. I have seldom had such delicious tacos in RVA and never for this price!

Taqueria La Comadre – Menu with Prices – 3080 S Jupiter Rd, Garland

I was in Garland for a meeting today and stopped to get gas. I walked in and saw that there is a taqueria here so decided that I should just grab a quick lunch before heading back to the office. Glad I did. I am a sucker for good tacos and I was not disappointed. Pastor is hands down my favorite and their pastor is on point. Also had the Barbacoa. I really liked it as well. Great flavor all around. I love finding places by pure accident. I don’t get over this way often but I promise that I will be stopping back by here whenever I do. They also serve breakfast so I might be inclined to schedule an early meeting over here so I can try the migas.

Tacqueria San Angel – Menu with Prices – 4005 Sullivant Ave, Columbus

I came out this way looking for Los Chilangos at the recommendation of a friend, but they have now been replaced by (or rebranded as) Taqueria San Angel. It was a short wait for the food, mostly because they were busy and because the food was fresh-cooked, including handmaking the corn tortillas on the spot. My two gorditas were cheap ($6 total), more than enough food for lunch, and most importantly, astoundingly delicious. The al pastor was tasty, the gorditas themselves came with generous helpings of tomato, lettuce, and black bean, and the housemade tortillas were amazing – just slightly charred, but light and delicate. The two salsas that accompanied the gorditas were also good, particularly the salsa verde which was also clearly housemade, being tangy and bright in a way that you rarely encounter from taco truck salsas. There’s a lot of taco trucks in Columbus, and I admit I went to Taqueria San Angel with no particularly high expectations, but I have to say they are probably one of the best in the city. The steady stream of customers that arrived and departed while I was there would certainly seem to indicate that’s an accurate statement.
