“ The absolute best street tacos in the area! They separate my food the way that I like it. Cant wait to eat to some more. Yummo! ”
“ This is a nice spot tucked away right off the road. Parking can be tough during the day but besides that the tacos were on point! I got the Al pastor and chicken tacos and they were flavorful and delicious! Ill be back again ”
“ The food here was really good. I got one of each Taco and liked them all. There is a little bit of a wait but you can call ahead and I highly suggest it. But they make everything fresh to order so its worth it. I like how they also give you grilled onions and a whole jalapeno on the side. Really tasty. They do also take credit card which is helpful. They have several outside tables too if you want to eat there. ”
“ Awesome local food truck! The tacos are good, and pastor burrito is my favorite. Reasonable price for the large portion size. ”
“ The chorizo tacos were magical. So many great flavors with the perfect amount of heat. It was the opposite of the Fort Avenue Chipotle. ”
“ Everything Ive gotten from here has been great. Best birria tacos Ive ever had. ”
“ Found this spot about a year ago fed up with Qdoba, whe they released shrimp and steak on their menu. Havent been back to a chain spot since. The food here is generous and the owners are friendly, courteous, and will make or add whatever asked for. Absolutely love that its close to work, easy spot to get to ahe leaving work. Have even driven back down later in the evening to sit outside and enjoy a meal. Top notch spot ”
“ What I enjoy in a steak burrito is good steak In pretty much every bite, a changing and interesting texture between the protein, the Bens and the rice, a sauce or sour cream to bring everything together. That is the exactly the way you will experience the steak burrito at El Tuscan Food Truck. After you pull off the roadway be careful of heavy traffic and big trucks youll find a cozy spot to place your order and wait the five or so minutes for your food to arrive fresh and hot. There are tables there for outside dining options when the weather is nice. My burrito was served in a sturdy container with a side of chips and tomatillo salsa. A nice little side! The chips were as fresh as could be and the salsa was tasty. 14 for lunch and a soda, but better value than the places nearby and certainly better than the big chains. This is a very nice small business type place to eat. ”
