    I was in Salem visiting an old friend and we just wanted to eat really good tacos and googled taco trucks and ended up here. I think I would drive from Eugene all the way up here just to eat again! So good so authentic so reasonably priced. Service was wonderful. What a great experience

    Best tacos I've ever had. I think it's safe to say that everything that I've tried there is excellent. The owners and staff are amazing as well. I once ran into one of the owners at Cash n Carry. I think his name is Aldo maybe. He recognized me and was very friendly. I even took him in back to show him where they kept the rice. Bottom shelf. Don't bend the knees. Check it out.

    The tacos are good but they are a little mushy. Meat is a little salty on the asada, I am Mexican and I know a good taco. Those are okay but definitely not the best.

    Stopped by for a late dinner. Wife and I have been looking for a good taco truck and this one did not disappoint. Tacos were flavorful and service was great. We got the asada and pastor tacos. The red salsa was spicy but really good. Love that the give you onions and jalapeños to go with the tacos.

    So so good. I got the asada tacos, amazing!! I want to try the torta and mulitas (sp?) next. I will report back when I do.. The Green sauce is really balanced and delicious, and the red sauce is legit fire.

    I literally eat here 1-2 times a day 2-5 times a week likee a bachelor diet! Ive tried most the taco stands in Salem and this place has the overall best food in town. Perfectly cooked and seasoned carne asada and chicken entree's, fast service plus a good group of guys working there who eventually treat returning customers like good friends! There's never a question about the quality of food or service!

    They have some of the most delicious tortas and tacos. Salsa has great taste. The owner was so friendly and asked us several times if we need anything. They have some nice wooden tables and chairs. They are on a parking lot and make sure that you follow the signals because it is hiding. You would love the food and their amazing customer service.

    We were visiting from Canada on our way to Licoln City and my cousin who lives in Salem recommended this place. I tried the super burito and I was not disappointed. Friendly staff and awesome food. Thank you

    Bless your life with the goodness of these tacos. Pictured, we tried the Asada, Lengua, Pollo, Al Pastor. We went back for more Asada and Lengua, so those two were our favorites. Also, the SALSA 🤤 so so good !

    Honestly the best, most authentic veggie burrito I have ever had. HUGE! With very very fresh vegetables, both pickled and non-pickled. The first burrito I've ever bitten into, that didn't bite back. Can't say enough and will make this a regular weekend stop from now on. It's a little difficult to see from hwy 99 unless you've pulled into the shell station to get gas, but the setting is nice and they do have covered seating.

    Damn good food. I wouldn't go anywhere else in town. These two brothers have lots of experience, and know how to cook a good meal at a fair price.

    Absolutely phenomenal, I see why this place was so highly rated and recommended. The food was all perfect, and the horchata was good enough to be a dessert. Will definitely be back soon!

    Best taco truck in town. The mulitas are amazing and a must try. Everything I've tried is very good. Make sure to bring cash since they don't except cards and keep in mind they only have outside seating.

    Best little spot in salem. Any of the tacos or burritos will hit the spot. I would even say some of the best burritos i’ve had. Ever since I discovered this place I haven’t gone anywhere. they’re always super nice too. i’ll drive 45 mins from portland just for this place.

  • 5/5 MaryJane M. 1 year ago on Google
    This has got 2b my #1 FAVORITE taco truck 😋 place to get food. They're Mulitas are the 💣, the BEST in town, nice & crunchy not soggy & they put lots of meat they don't skimp-out on the meat like other taco trucks do. I MUST 🤩 go there every time I go 2 Salem which is every Friday 🤤

  • 5/5 carol g. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is always good Love their tacos and especially the carne asada fries they’re my #1 go to food truck ! Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Kina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best cart in town! This place never disappoints. Updating this I would say just don't get the burritos it's like a can of refried beans a ton of rice and almost zero meat. The salad is great though.

  • 2/5 isaac M. 1 year ago on Google
    From what I heard I thought that this place sounded good but there tacos are plane with barley any toppings

  • 5/5 Gabriel H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best Taco Truck in town, and I’ve been a customer since they first opened. They used to be by Walgreens, but eventually moved. They have kept their humbleness and they’re great customer service. The tacos and food is always made with heart. Since My first order with them I’ve been a loyal customer I won’t get tacos elsewhere in town if it’s not here. I think that they can make the place better by adding Grilled onions, chiles, add some radish on the side and some extra limones and salsa. The little carrots and chiles with vinegar are okay, but nothing like authenticity with grilled onions and chiles.

  • 5/5 Joey T. 1 year ago on Google
    Most consistent, delicious and friendly Mexican food in Salem. Can’t go wrong going here. Just don’t forget to bring cash 😉

  • 5/5 Felicia D. 4 months ago on Google
    This place is the best taco truck in Salem!! They are so nice and friendly. Always making sure we get everything we need for our food. I go there like three times a week for their tacos. The carne asada literally melts in your mouth. Their pickled carrots are amazing!!! They give us so much of them, which I appreciate because I eat them all. Spicy but not over powering!! I definitely recommend them to everyone I know!

  • 5/5 Janee Q. 5 months ago on Google
    One.of our favorite place for tacos, love their mulitas too. Never disappointed with anything I have ordered here! Note to owners- would visit more often but I don't typically carry cash.

  • 5/5 Angela R. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely the best Asada, quesadillas, tacos, and Muletas that can be found! Also, their french fries are absolutely amazing and perfectly seasoned!

  • 5/5 Garcia_25LA 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered 5 chicken tacos and 2 chicken quesadillas. The chicken tacos were really good as well as the quesadillas. Quesadillas were a little better in flavor but was greasy.

  • 5/5 Buckingham I. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is dank.

  • 5/5 Kenia C. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious meats and perfect salsa. I'm usually a fan of the green salsa but these men have the most delicious recipe that's best of both worlds. Hands down my new favorite taco stand. Having moved to Oregon from California it was hard finding good tacos. Definitely my new spot. Check them out! Pastor is delicious and CASH ONLY.

  • 5/5 Chris N. 4 years ago on Google

    Great spot, easy to find location. Has covered seating. Plenty of parking. Vegetarian options can be made vegan by omitting the cheese. Carnitas was fantastic and the torta grilled to perfection. Open late, untill 11pm. This is a spot you want to make sure to visit.

  • 5/5 Dallas H. 3 years ago on Google
    Super nice guys, extremely flavorful and delicious veggie burrito. We will be back.

  • 5/5 Brett L. 3 years ago on Google
    These guys are best tacos and burritos I’ve ever had period. Not only is there food amazing and fair prices but the first time my wife and sister and law went we had to leave a tab because we didn’t realize it was cash only. The guy was super understanding and the fact he gave us that faith we gladly returned and will be a customer for a very long time.

    Best carne asada in town?

  • 5/5 Elaine R. 3 years ago on Google
    Best Mexican cuisine in town!! So delicious and the price is so affordable. Cheaper than taco bell, i don't even need to explain more. I spend more money on fast food joints like McDonald's and sonic than I do this place. Authentic food made fresh to order, seriously can not beat this place! A crunchwrap combo at taco bell is over 9 dollars for the whole meal. There meals here are only 7$!! Drink included. Hands down the best.
