Literally my favorite tacos place hands down! It’s family owned and run, they’re extremely kind and have great service. Food is fresh, they’re extremely gave me a huge portion, and everything is reasonably priced! Don’t forget their delicious refresca too! I go here 2 times a week now and no matter if it’s 6pm or 2am, the tacos are always fire! They couldn’t have picked a better spot! I’ll be back as usual.

If you haven’t been to El Taquito Kitchen yet… you’re missing out. The staff works their asses off and are genuinely so kind every single time. You can feel the care they put into the food. And the tacos?? Best thing on the menu! Highly recommend

Thanks Elih for your review glad you love our food and hope to see back soon! EL TAQUITO KITCHENMauricio L
This used to be the best taco truck in the area. I can’t wait to the Taco Stand opens at the neighborhood!!!! Every single visit the past 6 months, I got less meat on my quesadilla and burrito. I usually scaled the burrito at home and they took 100g less of the weight. Also some nights they even can clean the flat top to make a nice quesadilla. They're just stealing from us. Stay away from here!! You just going to get a spoon of meat from $15. The guys working there they’re nice.

These tacos used to be so good. I used to get them all the time. I hadn’t been there in a while. The last few times haven’t been a good experience. Between the mean girl who works the register and the food being served unfresh and unappetizing. I gave them a break. I randomly got the craving for these tacos today. I drove more than 30 minutes just for me to receive this nasty mess. I drove all the way home and I had work early in the morning so I couldn’t drive back. I’ve gotten the Tony’s tacos many many times and never have they been this gross looking. The meat color is supposed to be vividly redder, idk how long these avocados were out and placed on my plate and the food was barely warm. I paid in cash so I can’t get a refund and I damn sure ain’t driving back that far.

We really apologize for this am sorrykaite quarles
I think the first red flag i shouldn't have ignored was a white guy taking my order. I don’t really write reviews unless i feel like its my duty to let others know NOT to waste their money! I have been to ALOT of taco trucks and never was so disappointed that i had to write a review for them but here i am. I specifically ask no onions TWICE yet i still receive about the same amount of onions as i did meat which, in the first place wasnt much to compete with. There was little to NO meat on the tacos especially when i handpicked the onions out. Its like they used onions to make the taco look somewhat full. Its one of those bffr moments when u get home and bite into straight tortillas that costed you $3 a pop. Plz refer to photos below and decide to go somewhere else because this truck is a waste of time. ESPECIALLY when i go to look at the other reviews and it’s saying the same things i experienced. Rude white man not making the orders correct, and little to no meat for $3. Obviously they arnt taking the reviews seriously enough to actually fix the problem an yet chose to respond saying they will work on it. Okay dude. My first and last time coming here.

Kaite, sorry about your recent experience with us and thanks for thanking the time and write, sorry about your pork tacos but are pork is cook with onions they should tell you in that moment and the tacos are $2 each the way that it come (grilled onions and cilantro) if you add anything on it will be the extra charge like sour cream, cheese, avocado as in example, we hope you give us another chance to make it right, please let me know
