I was REALLY excited to try this restaurant. I love supporting local businesses, as well as fellow Latin/o/a/x businesses. The food was ok, but the prices were not really for this area. This place MIGHT do better in a neighborhood like Wicker Park or Logan Square ? People in this area aren't likely to pay these prices. I went with my mom and she had the fish tacos, while I had the steak tacos. The tacos don't come with anything, no rice, beans, or any sides. I ordered a side of rice and we both just drank water. The bill came out to just over $50. We almost walked out before ordering but we didn't want to be rude, and hoped the food would be AMAZING, but it just wasn't. My mom said those were the most expensive tacos she had EVER eaten so sorry, but we will not be going back. I wish you the best of luck though !

Regular price and size tacos al pastor are really good. On Monday and Tuesday tacos are supposed to be 1 dollar but if you don't ask they won't tell. Why would you advertise that in social media if you don't offer it to your customers and instead just give them regular tacos and when customer ask, you say that you need to ask for those ? ? If you opt for the special taco be aware that you would get 80% tortilla and 10% grease scraps.

I drive by this food truck all summer long and finally gave it a try for the first time and they did not disappoint one bit! Tacos are delicious, flavors are well balanced and great portion. Price is avg. horchata is rich and flavorful and not too sweet. So glad to have them in the neighborhood and I wish they would visit the city!

It’s a food truck on the side of the road. They serve authentic taco de trompo. They also sell the trompo meat (pork) by the pound with all the fixings for you to make tacos at home. That’s what I did and it’s $15/lb for meat with limes/pickled veggies and salsa, great deal.

These has been the best tacos de pastor I have tried in the U.S. I moved from Mexico 9 years ago and I never found good tacos until I ate here. These are almost identical to authentic tacos de pastor from Mexico. They have the $1 tacos Mondays and Tuesdays! Get them!

I've had the pleasure of dining at Tacosteno three times now, and each visit has left me satisfied with the mouthwatering flavors they offer. This food truck consistently serves up some seriously tasty tacos that keep me coming back for more.First and foremost, the star of the show here is the flavor. The meat in their tacos is always cooked to perfection, with the right level of tenderness and seasoning that hits the spot. Their spicy sauce adds an exciting kick that elevates the entire experience. I appreciate that they don't overdo it with the spiciness, ensuring that the flavors shine through.However, there are a couple of drawbacks that prevent me from giving Tacosteno a perfect score. One major inconvenience is their cash-only policy. In this day and age, it's become increasingly common for people to rely on cards or digital payment methods. I wish Tacosteno would update their payment options to include cards, making it more convenient for their customers.Another minor issue is the limited seating. It's understandable for a food truck to have limited space, but it would have been great if they could provide a few more seating options or even some outdoor tables. Finding a spot to enjoy your tacos can sometimes be a challenge, especially during peak hours.Despite these minor inconveniences, Tacosteno consistently delivers on flavor, making it a go-to spot for satisfying taco cravings. If you don't mind carrying some cash and don't require a lot of seating, give Tacosteno a try--you won't be disappointed by the delicious tacos they serve up.
Love that hot sauce it's the bomb the tacos look small but there not they give you some much meat but that hot sauce love it.
