“Excelente servicio, y comida deliciosa muy recomendable.“

“Ordered the pupusas, quesadilla, and birria tacos and they all were very generous portions and delicious. There are many spots in the area for competition but I would highly recommend giving this place a try. Forgot to take photos as I was starving and started eating immediately.“

“I've been meaning to try this truck for weeks & finally made it there on 9/17. El Taco Loco was worth the wait! I had the Asada, Chorizo & Pork Carnitas tacos. All 3 were yummy but the spicy Chorizo was my fave. At $5.00 each, the 3 corn tacos were a bit small but made for a tasty late-day snack. My only complaint was that there was no red salsa, guacamole & sour creama to top them with. The owner chef did garnish each taco with avocado slices, but plain avocado has no taste -- I need guacamole! There was also a tiny (1 teasp. worth!) container of green sauce that tasted of avocados & tomatillos, but it wasn't anough to apply to 3 tacos! yours truly likes her traditional OG taco toppings. But overall, what I had was Delicioso! I will definitely be back to El Taco Loco very soon to check out the rest of the menu.“

“I drove up and down Route 40 the other day looking for a place to eat. Nowhere and nothing really caught my eye.Stopped for gas. Saw their little truck in the parking lot. I thought, why not? At first, I thought it was abandoned from the looks of it. But, no. They were steady plugging out food to drivers pulling up.I got the carnitas tacos. Tender. Juicy. And made fresh with a lot of love. Even the tortillas were scratch made.You can't go wrong here.“

“Delicious sizzling plates and the fish tacos were fantastic, thanks our server (Christen) was excellent he was delightfully nice!“

“My family and I have been coming to El Azteca since I was little. The food and the service have always been excellent. When I think of going out for dinner with my family, I always picture El Azteca—always. Highly recommended 👌👌“

“Food is delicious 😋 . I went inside and ordered to go. Nice lady took my order. I sat down and waited and waited and waited... 20+ minutes go by I see people leaving before me who came in after me to order with their food. So I finally went to the counter and asked how much longer. The other lady went to be back and came back out and didn't say anything. Then, said something in Spanish to coworkers... shows me a bag that been sitting there over 10 minutes n say you?. I look at the ticket on bag and it was my food. Smh. I said, "Now my food is cold. " They just didn't even acknowledge me. I guessing If i spoke Spanish or was a Latina, it would have been different. Didn't even say sorry. Just walked away after handing me the food. I tipped the lady prior to receiving my food. Food is amazing service is horrible. I will return but not leaving a tip lol“

“I ordered the half chicken with two sides. I was given a thigh and a drumstick, and a breast and a wing. The meat was exactly what I would want from a Peruvian chicken place. It had good flavor and came right off of the bone.

The yuca fries were some of the best I've had. They were crispy on the outside and airy and flaky on the inside with a nice seasoning.

The plantains were equally as good.

For $15 I was happy with the portion size and was full after my meal.

I also tried all three sauces. The yellow sauce was mild and had a great flavor to it. The red sauce was a bit spicy with a nice flavor. It wasn't overly spicy though. The whiskey BBQ sauce was delicious with a nice smoky flavor.

My wife got one of the arepas with braised beef. The beef was delicious.

The service was fine. You walk up, order your food, and they prepare it right in front of you. Then you move down the line and pay. Pretty simple and fast. You move down the line and then you pay.

The dining area was pretty empty. It was a casual wooden bench style seating. It appeared clean.

We will definitely be back.“
