About El Chilango

El Chilango offers authentic street-style tacos like Al pastor and mix meat for $3.00 each, with flavorful and spicy salsas. Despite the outdoor truck setting, the food quality is decent, although a previous customer found a cricket in their tray. The parking situation is challenging due to limited space and busy road access. The lack of ambiance is made up for by the genuine Mexican taste of the tacos, making it a popular spot for late-night visits. The service quality might vary, as some visitors have encountered staff with moody attitudes.

This taco truck is located on the corner of a business center with outdoor seating only, giving it that authentic street-food feel. I ordered three tacos—two asada and one chicken—and they were all delicious. The meat was flavorful, well-seasoned, and served on fresh tortillas.

What really stood out was the salsa. I didn't think Texans could...read full review
The food at this trailer reminded me of the food in the Rio Grand Valley. It is delicious and authentic. This restaurant is in a tough neighborhood and not very fancy. The food however is the real deal.
