About EL CHILITO LOCO (food truck) Authentic Mexican Food

El Chilito Loco, the beloved food truck, serves authentic Mexican cuisine that delights both vegans and meat-eaters. Their menu features a variety of options, including burritos, tacos, and vegan asada fries. The two taco plate, complete with beans and rice, remains a popular choice, and the horchata is a refreshing treat. Their breakfast burritos are highly recommended, with generous portions and homemade salsas adding to the flavor. The chicken tinga tacos are praised for their tasty and relatively healthy profile. The beef lengua taco (tongue) is extremely tender and flavorful, served with fresh diced onions and cilantro, while the medium salsa complements the meat well. The breakfast burrito, which includes hash browns, vegan sausage, egg, cheese, and spinach, is a must-try; it is so big that it often cannot be finished in one sitting. Chips are hearty and crispy, though the guacamole tends to be creamy but less chunky than usual. The orange habanero salsa is loved for its spice, while the green salsa is pretty good, but the basic red salsa was found to be bland and watery. Friendly staff and great prices make El Chilito Loco a hidden gem worth visiting. The truck is located in a shaded area with picnic tables, providing a relaxed atmosphere. Although the online ordering platform has been canceled, customers still enjoy delicious food, and many plan to return for the tasty burritos and friendly service.
