This was a first-time stop for us at Lonchera El Tapatio Taco Truck, and it did not disappoint. My coworker and I ordered 3 tacos with chorizo as my meat of choice—and wow, the flavor was to die for. The chorizo had a beautiful, tasty char and was cooked to perfection. The cilantro, onion, and green chili pepper toppings were spot on. I don’t know why I’ve always been too excited to eat the tacos to take the time to break up the chili on top, but this time I did—and it was a total game changer. 🌶️🌮

It was also quick and easy to get in and out with our food, even during the lunch rush, which made the experience even better.

The only two things that weren’t beyond perfect were:

The limes looked great but had almost no juice to squeeze out (though that’s hard to fault them for).

I ordered them as they came, on corn tortillas. They did the job, but I’ll try flour tortillas next time if they have them. Even my deskmate—who comes from a Mexican household—said the corn tortillas here were just “okay.” Not bad, just not stellar.

Still, for just under $10, I got 3 wonderful tacos plus salsa and verde salsa on the side without even asking. Great value, excellent flavor, and quick service.

Bottom line: I’ll most certainly be back—if they have flour tortillas—and I have a feeling I’ll have a hard time going anywhere else for lunch when I want Mexican!

A new review after a 5 visits. You CAN NOT make special requests here and have them full filled. I always sub red causes for green. He said yes that's fine. Still got both. I always request no limes. Still get them. Even tho he said that's totally fine. His English and responses in English back were very reassuring. BUT. The meals were all wrong. Great food. Poor everything else.

This is The Best Taco Truck... They are up the street from Fresh Thyme. Because of recent construction. They are on the Side street where the Fortress is
