El Tucan Food Truck

I've had good food truck tacos and I've had GREAT food truck tacos. El Tucan is my go to, their tacos are GREAT. I've driven from Baltimore to Jessup for their Carne Asada Tacos and will absolutely do so in the future when a taco craving hits. Always fresh, always perfectly seasoned. Every Tuesday is taco Tuesday for me and El Tucan is always my go to.

We'd been driving by this place every day during our stay in the area, and knew we'd eventually stop in. So we showed up and pondered our order for no less than 5 minutes, going up and down the menu. Finally we just pulled the trigger on tacos and ordered before we could change our minds. Campechanos and Chorizo.We're from Syracuse, and we don't have much of a Mexican food scene. We knew this would be a good experience, but even with high expectations, this place really nailed it. We drove to an isolated place so the dog could run around off leash while we enjoyed our tacos off the trunk of the car. The onions, the lime and the "Green Taco Truck Sauce" were all 100% essential to each taco. The onions were cut into large scoop shapes and were blanched. The green sauce added actual heat, but wasn't insanely spicy.We finished our tacos and talked ourselves down from going right back and getting more. I'd come back any time just to relive this memory. There's a lot we didn't try during our time here, but there's no way these tacos aren't objectively some of the best around.

Affordable Mexican food plus it's delicious! Definitely recommend this place. We ate here twice in a week because of how good the food is. We ordered nachos with mixed protein and the serving size was so big! And the burritos are so good. My only complaint is when we ordered chicken tacos, the protein was really dry. Also the carne asada burrito had a lot of cartilage unless you like that then it shouldn't be problem. Service was very quick! The parking can get a little frustrating since it's a food truck parked right by a business area.

Flavorful tacos but they are only single tortilla and are super greasy and fall apart easily.Tacos are 3 for $7 which is the best price in the area. Tried the chicken, al pastor, and carnitas. The al pastor was definitely the most flavorful. The green sauce was not very spicy but one of the better sauces in the area as well.They did not have any pupusas. Not sure if it was a temporary out of stock.Will come back to try the burritos and quesadillas.

We typically go to the other taco truck up the street but wanted to try El Tucan because it it a closer drive to us. I'm sooooo glad we did!! I ordered the Chicken Quesadilla and my bf ordered the Chicken Burrito. Both were amazing and hit the spot. The green sauce is the best we've had out of ever where. Not spicy but incredible!!

I'd try it again. The Carnitas looked good but was not done yet. They also grill shrimp. I had 4 tacos. The best was the pastor which was more like ground chorizo. I also had chorizo which was sliced sausage. Chicken was okay. Carne asada was chewy and bland. They oil and warm the corn tortillas on the grill (they're kinda greasy) and served it with a big cooked jalapeño, a couple cooked onion slices and a container of green salsa. I think a carnitas burrito would be the call here. Next time.

Love their tacos! Definitely have a taste from back home (CA). Grew up eating Mexican food and this the most authentic tacos we've had here. Highly recommend!

The most authentic Carnitas tacos in Maryland. Consistent quality and quantity of meat.

Great food, better prices. Call order in, they get very busy during the lunch time rush.

I would recommend asking for double tortilla on the taco ! Other than that the food amazing
