Los Guachos

Best tacos in the area! I usually visit their location in Dublin but when I'm on the west side I'll visit the truck. It's always delicious. I usually get the gringas and eat way to many. I was a little disappointed to see they had raised their prices again but I guess I get it, and to be honest they are still worth it.

Delicious first stop on our columbus food adventure tour. We all tried the Al Pastor taco. Delicious meat on a soft flour tortilla grilled up with cheese, onion, cilantro and pineapple. We topped it with some of their delicious avocado sauce and mixed onion and habanero soaked in soy. They had cucumber to cool your pallet down. Delicious taco. This is the original location and I'll definitely be back!

If you're ever lost and looking for the casino, this is one parking lot you'll want to steer clear of. Pot hole ridden, poorly lit, with a night club crowd after dark and seemingly abandoned in daylight. Good place to dump a car for your sideline insurance fraud venture. Bad place too, you may park near a corpse and who needs all those questions from an officer. Ya hear me yeah? Oh what the hell, the trip was to a casino anyway right? You're feeling lucky, and who else goes to a casino if you're not? So you go all in, past the night club "La Boom," skirt the pot holes and there's this old horse trailer in the far corner. A big one, we're talking 12 team stage coach, like Budweiser Clydesdales. But it's horse pulling days are over, it's a big ass taco stand aptly named, Los Gauchos (the cowboys). If you think we're teeing up for some tasteless, horse meat, taco jokes, you've come to the wrong review son. Los Gauchos make a fine meal of taco truck fare. Nothing fancy, no epiphany tortas or biblical burritos. It's just tacos which are hard to get wrong, even harder to get really right. These guys do. The birria and pastor are worth a return trip. But that salsa verde... it was special. They should serve it as a soup it was so good. Just trust it was made one of their numerous storefront locations for this formerly mobile unit. Open late, just watch where you park.

This is THE spot you're looking for when it's 12AM and you're trying to figure out if it makes most sense to stay in bed or venture out in search of tacos. Being an out of towner, the 'experience' in getting there adds all the more to the sweet validation that you made the right choice leaving your bed. Being blunt, the drive there is suspect, especially at this time of night. Driving down dimly lit streets and turning off the main road onto an unpaved graveled parking lot felt like the beginning of a mistake, but when you see extra bright light flood lights illuminating a big food truck in the middle of the night, you've no choice but to continue trusting your intuition. The only thing missing from making this trip the complete experience was the deafening loud music, regardless of the time of day/night. Even at midnight, this place was poppin, with at least 6 customers already there either eating or awaiting their food before I got there, and a handful that arrived after I was waiting myself. Onto the food; in short, it's on point! Up top, prices are a bit on the steep side at $2 a taco, but at the time of my visit, I may have been willing to pay double that :)Pastor is my jam and so pastor is what I got. A total of 5 pastor tacos and 1 Gringas. The tacos are built with 2 corn tortillas, a generous per taco meat proportion (enough that some falls onto your plate when you pick up your taco), cilantro, onion, and a single small slice of fresh pineapple. Included on the side is lime and cucumber (a nice touch that I don't see often in the Chicago). The Gringas was ok; I too am a sucker for melted cheese, but the price differential between this and a normal taco, I'd much rather just have a 2nd 'normal' taco. I may never be in Columbus again, but if I do, I'd go out of my way to visit Los Guachos!

Best Mexican in Columbus. And I mean authentic Mexican. Anytime(a couple times a week, let's be honest) I have a hankering for something south of the border this is my go to. Don't be intimidated by the location, or the feeling that your possibly not supposed to be there. Best Al Pastor tacos north of Tucson. Just don't want those delicious tacos on a Monday. They are closed on Mondays

The al pastor is a must eat here!

It is better than Bakersfield, condados, and taco loko combined. Period El pastor taco and burrito are my bestMonday: half off tacosWednesday: half off grangazz Don't forget to order horchata drinkand try their spice onion salsa

This time, I got my order to go. I have to say, they upped their game with the to-go packaging! There was some of all the common condiments, salsa verde, the HOT red salsa, limes, cucumber and some salt packets. Everything was packaged nicely, with plenty to go around.Also, this time, I swallowed my pride and asked for a menu. I have attached photos for those of you that like to plan ahead. :)

This restaurant is great!!! It's not your typical Tex-mex. It's very authentic from the Mexico City area of the country. I love their Gaucho burrito done enchilada style. Their Al pastor is wonderful!!!

Disappointed. Went for their tacos al pastor but also made a order of carné asada and pulled pork. The tacos did not taste authentic. The taco salad was filled with Roman lettuce and the smallest spoonful of rice and beans. (It was a taco shell with lettuce). Lastly The queso was thick! Tasted like melted American cheese. Unfortunately I Didn't enjoy anything I ordered. :(
