Tacos El Charrito Truck

There's really nothing special about these soft shell street tacos. The chicken was bland although the chorizo was tasty... The tomatoes didn't appear fresh and the salsa was store bought (probably out of a can). I much prefer Cocina Real, Al Pastor, or Casa Noble. Disappointed overall since this place has 4.8 stars overall.

It's been a few years since I have been to this truck and since it was 2ish and I haven't eaten anything yet I thought I would stop over for something small because dinner was somewhat close. The truck is west of Oscars Winners Circle on Burnham St and I have seen it there a few times so it's probably a daily spot.Since I wanted something small what should I get, a taco/frijoles charros, 2 tacos and I settle on a taco and tostada feeling that this was just the right size. WRONG because the bag felt heftyer but not quite burrito heft. When I opened my container I noticed that the two items were generously topped and looked amazing with grilled pepper/onions/limes as a garnish.The Al Pastor taco was tasty on two corn tortillas with plenty of meat, red onions and cilantro. The star was the steak tostada piled high on a super crispy corn tostada with plenty of steak, beans, sour cream, two nice fresh avocado slices and cheese. The tostada was very good and bigger than I expected but than again it's not ordered very much by me so it's possible this was the norm, I couldn't finish the whole plate before I was full.Overall I really liked how they didn't skimp out on anything and for a food truck they make a great presentation with the food.

I know about tacos, I look for the best anywhere I go, I lived in Mexico for 6 years and these are by far the best I have had in the states. The burrito... I asked only meat since I was taking it to my hotel, the tortilla was dry and the meat inside was juicy, I put some avocado, tomato and their sauce and I was in heaven... at the truck I had al pastor, asada, and chicken with onions and avocado... and their green sauce.. yes! Limón too... I ordered like When I lived in Ensenada, Mexico .. flour tortillas.... omg! I was back there...I will come back, I will go tomorrow for more. I am happy to have found this gem Very clean, fast, inexpensive, nice people... 10/10

This is a great Mexican comfort food truck. Their quesadillas with carne al pastor are delicious!! Call ahead so you can pick up your food when you get there. Great food!!

We hit up the truck when we're in Milwaukee and hungry which is a few times a year. They did move and we had a little difficulty finding them this time but they are pretty much located across the street a very short distance from El Rey Mexican market. Every time we go it's soooooo good. It's been consistent over the last two years for us. My favorite is the tripita taco. Nice and crisp. The beans are also really good. I've tried the burrito which I didn't care for but I'm a taco fan in general. Plenty of street parking but no places to sit which is ok for us. We made it a tradition to set up everything on the trunk of the car and eat standing there ;)

Tacos, I could eat you every day. Why doesn't the El Charrito truck just follow me around the city, there and ready with al pastor when I need it?That would probably be pretty cost prohibitive, so I'll just stick to visiting them on the weekends at 38th and Burnham. I LOVE when food trucks have a schedule or a designated spot, because finding your favorites can be a real pain. Clearly this location is working well for them, because even on a Saturday afternoon there was a steady stream of walk-ups and people phoning in their orders to pick up. Who knew!I got a couple al pastor tacos and that pork is a tasty rendition. Lots of seasoning so the pork is deep red with flavor. No noticeable fat or gristle. Plenty of cilantro and onions, plus a lime wedge for each taco (as a citrus freak, that is important!). Doubled tortillas, as they should be. Paid an extra quarter to get avocado; totally worth it.Also got a plate of 5 mini tacos. They were probably like 3-biters each and stuffed full of meat. The chicken was shredded and a little bland, but chorizo made up for it. You can only order 2 meats for the 5 tacos, but that seemed reasonable. Also comes with a halved grilled jalapeno and some onions to make it a little platter. Red salsa was smokey but a little bland. Salsa verde was tangy and better. We waited 15+ minutes for our order which was kind of a bummer, but like I said they were taking a ton of phone orders so they seemed a little backed up in there. No matter, I will be back!

My friend, #1 taco truck. Fast and convenient. Clean truck. They take phone orders. Always by the same intersection.

I haven't written a review about this place?!? Let's get to it.I walk dogs across the street at MADACC on a regular basis. Walking past this taco truck with each dog is torturous (the smell is amazing). Add in that it's usually right before I eat dinner, and whatdyaknow, I end up scarfing down tacos in my car, smelling like dog slobber and poop. And it's glorious.It's so cheap it's ridiculous and the guys in the truck are super friendly. Oh yeah, and it's delicious? My favorite is the al pastor.

Eat here. Now. The al pastor and chicken tacos are off the chain. Flavorful, fresh and authentic. Yum

El Charrito has my upmost respect for feeding those in need during this pandemic. Thank you guys for everything that you've done and will do for this community. The food is also amazing, but you guys already knew that!
