The ingredients are much higher quality, and there's even more choices. I recommend the spicy chicken bowl if you like spicy. Otherwise their beef just can't be beaten. They also have a couple of sauces they make house that are super spicy. I like them both. Ask about them, he'll give you a little sample.“

Good service.Parking: A little confusing: parking in the back looked like it was claimed for an adjacent building (with a towing threat), but the sign on the door said to park in the back. We parked on the street - plenty of space either way.Kid-friendliness: So many great choices for kids beyond the kid menu.

I had teens and adults commenting that Mobile Cocos Tacos were the best tacos they have ever had. We picked al pastor, steak and veggie for our menu. Pair those with the rice and beans and the food for your party is complete. As an added bonus, Jose is also fantastic at communication. I highly, highly recommend! 5+ stars!“

“First and foremost, the food is flavorful and plentiful. To-go orders are carefully prepared to be piping hot when you get home. The tortillas are so good, I'm highlighting them for the way they elevate their tacos.Service is faster at other establishments, but the sacrifice is worth the wait.There's not a lot of atmosphere that I can give points for, but the truck and surrounding area was clean and the staff was courteous.Great job Tacos Don Juan“

“I drove by on a route I don't normally take and smelled the food and turned around. I ordered 2 tacos. Asada and pastor with cilantro onion. I've been in Aurora 10 years and sampled a few dozen nearby restaurants and this one definitely hits the top 3 for me. The flavor was definitely number one for pastor. I have to return and get a full meal to really give a proper review but if 2 tacos blows me away I will certainly be back.The woman who served me didn't speak much English, but that's not her fault. I'm probably the minority customer. Great for family dinners or quick lunches.“

This restaurant is inside a church, and has limited hours, so a bit of a challenge to actually get to. They seem to only be open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday but have an authentic menu of menudo, Birria, and many other dishes.“

“We were out shopping and didn't want to stop and ruin the shop till you drop vibe but we were starving and a drive thru wouldn't cut it but both agreed a quick taco or quesadilla would hit the spot. We decided on Taco Dale since we'd never had it before, it was a Friday night and again wanted something quick. Our initial thought or plan was (as it usually is) was to just get it to go and eat in the car and keep shopping.... we went in and ordered a cheese quesadilla and a steak quesadilla I asked if they could cut them in half (so we could split them) to let us each try both. They come with pico, guac, and crema. We didn't get the pico - just guac and crema. The girl was easily accommodating. As we were waiting for the order we quickly realized it may be greasy and we should probably stay and just eat it there. Once we got the order we told them we were going to stay and Christian was extremely accommodating and kind - he brought us chips, salsa, hot and mild sauce and drinks since we weren't going to initially stay. He also kept checking on us to see if we needed anything as well. Christian was also very kind and friendly to the other patrons that came in as well. The menu is abundantly full, there is something for everyone and the menu can be easily accommodating if needed. The ladies were very kind as well (I didn't get any names though I'm sorry). The restaurant itself was clean, warm and inviting. It is also ADA accessible. We will definitely be returning customers.“
