$1 tacos. Super tasty. Grab a couple by the side of the street in a parking lot. Well-seasoned al pastor meat - albeit a tad oily but there's why you douse the tacos with some fresh and bright green salsa for a counterpoint + limes, diced onions, and cilantro. Grilled onions and peppers complement the tacos well. The taste to price value equation is spot on here. We came in the middle of the afternoon with no lines but it does get packed at night. Los Meros does some cheap yet tasty tacos.

You won't even CARE-OSTruly perfect tacos are really very RARE, HOSYou'll find them here at the great LOS MEROS(Then come over to my place, cuz I wanna SHARE O'S)WHATI saw them appear on the horizon of Hwy 6 like a Mero-age. They do 1 thing, and 1 thing only, and they do it so well. That is, Monterrey's famous Trompo Tacos, the most popular kind in NL (Nuevo Laredo province of Mexico, which is adjacent to South TX).They also have chorizo (very good) and some other meats (not bad), but you must get Trompo. It's why the lines are so long.My Yelp listings (that I created) for several of these spots up and down Hwy 6 keep getting merged into this one, which is silly because it makes them hard for Yelpers to find them, and besides *they are separate businesses*. Oh well. Yelp will be Yelp.So come and check them out. Simply some of the best tacos you will ever get at this unheralded and completely Spanish-speaking series of taco trucks that are parked all along Highway 6 and sometimes in other places. In other news, I was thinking of getting a tat... like, an arrow, but a "Tribal Arrow." Get it. Get it.Anyway. If you don't come and try these for yourself, it's your Los.

I am not a fan. Very low quality meat. I mean what can you expect. They are 1.00 each. It doesn't even taste like fajita meat. It must be the cheapest cut if you can get at the butcher shop. These do not compare to any decent taco truck in the area. I am not a fan. I will not be back. I am writing this review so next time they pop up on yelp I will remember and definitely not go back.I mean if you want some really cheap food for a dollar apiece I guess you cannot go wrong. I simply am not a fan of the low-quality beef they're serving here.However they stay open very late. They are always pretty packed. They also are very quick. They're also very friendly. They don't have grilled jalapeños which I don't understand. Other than that I've been here often on through the years and I'm simply not impressed I am writing this review so when they come up again in my feed I will remember not to go.

$1 tacos with intoxicating smell as you walk around the trailer, can't beat it.Dwelling around here for over 20 years I do not know when this popped up or how long this has been here but I am glad to have found it by the following of some of my Yelp friends. Because of them and a little help of Yelp I would probably not have stopped by. I would drive by at times and see a good line and tell myself that food trucks are not worth trying but this one will grab you as it did me.Parking looks innocent, large parking lot but take my advice, make sure you park where you are sure that you will be able to get out because people will park anywhere around you right after you leave, fair warning.As you approach the truck and round the corner you will notice about 6 picnic tables just at the same time as you get a whiff in what you are about to embark on. From the spinning meat on a pole (pastor or trompo?), to the sizzling of the grill in a assembly line manner you can also request a $5 quesadilla (they do not skimp on the cheese) as well as your $1 4" tasty treasure teaser. With your order they will give you two little baggys one each of green salsa and chipolte. Watch out for the green one if you aren't used to spicy. If you happen to drive past here in the daytime I do not believe you'll find the truck here since they move it back home every night but I can tell you that 6 pm is probably the best time to get here since I'm sure they are set up and the crowds have not formed yet. This information is curtailed for the weekday nights.

Sooo I've had tacos from this spot numerous times and never thought to check in! They put this cart in a huge parking lot & on the weekends this spot blows up! I mean you'll see folks in line for this place! You walk up to the cart & all you smell is the fabulouness of freshly grilled onions & meat.The pork is just slowly spinning on the trompo between 2 big chunks of pinapple & it's just majic. The guy working the flat top moves those onions around while jammin to whatever's on the radio, while the 2 ladies hook up your order. These guys are always quick w/ the orders & so nice. I gladly chunk somethin in their tip jar.I've had pretty much all of their meat options, but them dang pastor tacos are BEAST!! You can easily scarf down 6 w/o knowing. The pieces of pinapple are perfectly mixed w/ the pastor meat & add such a wonderful flavor. The meat is sizzling hot, tender & juicy! Droolin just thinking about them :-)You get a baggie of cilantro & onions, limes & of course that killer green hot sauce. To top off the good service & addictive flavor, the dirt cheap price is the icing on the cake!! The ONLY thing that makes these better is an ice cold beer! Look, just get your butts over there & try some of these tacos!! You won't regret it!

When my boyfriend said "Mexican street tacos," I went starry-eyed, so "I was excited" would be an understatement. Tacos de trompo are my all-time favorite, and as cool as it is to watch, I'll admit the tacos and quesadilla were not as good as they looked. INCREDIBLY OILY. Like so oily it's slippery? Yeah....Not exactly too appetizing unfortunately. They do well to warm up the tortilla with oil, but not that much! This is my only complaint, but it's enough to damage my experience. On the other hand, the meat is still great and man! Do they load on the pastor! Both salsas had great, authentic flavor, so make sure to get some to-go. $1 per taco is exciting stuff but still not quite as good as straight-up Mexico. CASH ONLY. Park in the parking lot next door, and walk over because that gas station gets packed like crazy because of this taco truck.

Omgggg! These are the best authentic tacos i have ever tasted! I seen the line from the highway, which was very long, but i got in line anyways. The smell was amazing! The line moved at a stead pace and the cooks moved in perfect unison. The main meat (pork) that was always being prepared fresh was on a spit and well seasoned. They had chicken and what i believe was beef, but everyone was getting the al pastor on the spit.You order your plate by how many tacos you want. A small sized corn tortilla is one taco and they can fit many on one plate....i had 6 on mine. They even give you real cilantro, lime and sauces which are amazing tasting in plastic sandwich bags to take home. When i ate it....whewwwww! Those tacos were off the chain! Im talking the most wonderful food ever! My picky 2 and 4 year old children even devoured them. We all wanted more, but well just go tomorrow. Lol

Yes , yes , yes !!! These tacos were the bombbbb !! $2 a pop because we added cheese . The flavor was exactly what I was hoping for . The only thing I didn't really care for was how oily they were and the amount of fatty pieces .

I came here to try the Tacos de Trompo, and the adobo which the meat was prepared with was good, they gave nopales too. Now, the first 3 tacos de trompo I ordered did not come with pineapple chunks, which was a disappointment. Also, the meat instead of being cooked on the trompo itself was cut and then cooked on the skillet like any other taco truck. When I ordered another set of 3 tacos de trompo i asked if they could add pineapple, when I got my tacos the pineapple was not cooked just cut into chunks, that was not to my liking because the pineapple is supposed to be added to the meat at the end when cooking.So, to end this review, the tacos were good and they have the basics really well with the adobo, but the minor things kept it from being my all time favorite.
