Really good and large portions. We could not finish what we ordered because we were so stuffed. Great value for the price

We had the pleasure of having Rodrigo and staff of the taco truck at our sons graduation party at our home. They did a great job! Very pleasant, the most delicious steak tacos! Very large portions. The Tinez taco truck really made our boys graduation party super special!

And the winner is..... If you live in or around the town of Cortland you may be familiar with the Arts & Crafts fair at the beginning of the summer, or in May. Each year several contestants enter the best taco contest, and Tinez Tacos was the winner for 2022. Tinez Tacos is actually a food truck and you can find them in Cortland every Tuesday parked at the Dollar General on Somonauk just off Rt 38. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a Tinez Taco at the festival so today (Tuesday) I stopped by their food truck to get some burritos. The burritos are $9 each and are pretty big. You can pick your choice of meat from steak, chicken, pork, and more....so I got the steak. Inside the burrito is the meat, beans, some cheese lettuce, tomatoes, and maybe a couple other ingredients. My heart really wants to give them 5 stars as it's a good burrito, but I have had much better burritos. Here's a couple things I think they can improve. To start, $9 is an expensive burrito. I realize with inflation in 2022 ingredients must not be cheap and they may have raised prices so they can make some money. I've actually had better burritos that were less than $9, so I'm basing the price on that. I've also been to some restaurants that charge more than $9 for a burrito, but that probably comes with chips and salsa. I like steak, but I kept getting chunks of thick, chewy cartilage and had to spit it out. I personally don't like eating cartilage and not sure if anyone else does, but that is probably my biggest reason for 4 stars instead of 5. If the quality of the steak and burrito was better I'd probably give 5 stars. Anyway, I like to support the local community and I hope that Tinez stays in business and continues to grow and improve their food items.

My wife got a chicken sandwich and some corn ?mixture cooked in butter and for the price it was worth it just needed a little bit of hot pepper's added to the sandwich but otherwise it was OK

Tinez Tacos lives up to its reputation. I'm so glad they have their own building now because they went from being the best food truck to an even better dine in restaurant. Their tacos and burritos are fantastic! I love all of their meat choices as well; chicken or steak are my favorites.

They pulled their truck up right outside our wedding venue and served dinner! Everyone loved the idea of a taco truck instead of sit down catering!! The food was tasty, we were given choices as far as meats and toppings...we had tacos, burritos and quesadillas! Outstanding guys and they were happy to be there! Thank you so much!!!
