The lengua, mixto, and el pastor are all amazing and come with the perfect accoutrements and both green and red sauce. Also, each time I’ve visited this truck, all of the workers have been so friendly and welcoming. El Chilango is always my first recommendation to people looking for delicious and authentic tacos“

“Was hankering for some tacos one afternoon and was driving through North Arlington and remembered district taco right on Lee Highway. I stopped in and I had a couple à la carte tacos and being a vegetarian it was exciting to see they had a plant-based meat substitute on their menu. so I ordered two Itza tacos prepared the way I like them on corn tortillas and I have to say they were some of the best tacos I have ever had, bar, none. Just for reference, I eat a lot of tacos so I would know a great taco, and those were spectacular. Thank you district taco for offering a vegetarian option and for preparing such an amazing taco. I will be back. ☮️“

“I had the chicken bowl with black beans, rice and potatoes. The food was fresh and delicious! I gave it 4 stars because you have to order your own food on a kiosk and I guess I’m old school and like human interaction. Other than that it was great. Reasonably priced, delicious, fast and good portion.“
