All time favorite taco truck.

The guys are on point!
Super friendly; they remember my young son’s name and his favorite order.

The quality of the food is second to none; I’ve had almost everything on the menu and nothing falls short of amazing! Full on, eye closing, forget the world around you good.

Personal favs are Cabeza tacos or carnitas burrito.

So thankful they’re so close and serving such delicious, affordable food.
Do yourself a favor and get down there.

We love Tacos El Melon! We live just around the corner and will stop by to get tacos on the way home from the park. The guys know our son by name and are always so friendly. The service is exceptional. I always get the al pastor tacos and those never disappoint. They even know my 2 year old son likes his pollo asado taco plain and whip that up for him no problem. Today we switched it up and my husband picked up a carnitas burrito for us to share. The carnitas was perfectly crispy yet still so moist and the flavors were perfect! I wish we had gotten two instead of sharing one! This is a must visit if you’re in the Laurel area!

Dude this place smacks. My boyfriend and I got a burrito, tacos, and quesabirria taco. All bomb. So savory, juicy, fresh, flavorful. The salsas were good too, I don’t usually like salsa verde but even that was delish. So happy I live nearby!

Pretty disappointing Al pastor burrito (bland, very little meat). The taco truck that was here before was much better. Taquería La Mejor, nearby, is also much better.

This did not merely satisfy my need for hunger but it satisfied my spiritual need too. Every single bite of my burrito brought me immense happiness that cannot be described by words. Like the morning sun this revived life into my forsaken soul.

After dining at Tacos El Melon for the first time I knew that I had finally found the best taco truck in the bay. Authentic flavors, and quality that you won’t find anywhere else!! Plus it’s 100% family owned and ran. If you find yourself craving tacos, quesabirria, ceviche, or burritos THIS IS THE PLACE!! I promise you won’t leave disappointed. They give generous servings and salsa, chiles, cebollitas.. etc. They also have great catering services too. Do yourself a favor and check them out!!!! ?♥️
