Taqueria El Poblanito taco truck

Middle of the road tacos. The Al pastor tacos were pretty good and came with a strip of pineapple on the top and hot sauce on the side. The Lengua tacos were not so great, kinda tough. My coworkers did not enjoy their carne asada burritos. They said the meat closer resembled ground beef.

This is the kind of taco truck I've raved about in some of my other reviews. This truck has truly authentic Mexican / Salvadoran food. Nestled in the corner of US1 Liquors' parking lot lies Taqueria el Poblanito.The people are very friendly. I've had the same gentleman take my order a number of times. He speaks English and Spanish (both of them VERY quickly), so don't worry if you don't speak Spanish. SE HABLA ESPAÑOL (para los que no entienden).I've had the pupusas and the tacos. The pupusas are delicious and greasy with good pickled cabbage to offset. The tacos are pretty good. On my last visit, I ordered thee types: carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas. The carne asada was fine - good beef. The al pastor took me right back to my favorite taco place in Mérida, Mexico. This is how I knew these guys are the real deal. The carnitas were totally disappointing. Whatever cut they had was riddled with creamy white cartilage that was really chewy. They either got our order wrong and gave us something else or they used some really cheap cut (isn't shredded pork supposed to be a cheap cut already?). Sorry, El Poblanito, that cost you a star.At $2.50 a taco, it's not a terrible deal. Small corn tortillas offer an authentic taste you just can't get at most chains. Each came with a slice of avocado and loaded with chopped onions and cilantro. While the onions were juicy and a nice crunch, they were pretty overkill. They'll also include a delicious salsa verde picante if you like. They don't have a to-go menu (or even number to call), but check out my photos of their menu.If you're driving along the Jessup area and want a quick and truly authentic Mexican treat, drop by this truck!

Was down the road for work. Saw this truck and stopped. Great tacos, and tostadas. Also tried something called a picadito. I loved it, and want another. I'll definitely be back when in the area. Its located in the liquor store lot across from townhouses.
