El Calentano del Sur

Hidden gem in Maple Grove! Located in the Lowe's parking lot, if you're in the area give it a try. We had the 4 chicken tacos with spicy sauce and the Mexican street corn (not pictured because we ate it so fast). The service is quick and friendly. There is only one picnic table outside so seating is limited to none, but it's great to go! I'll definitely be stopping by again.

I've been intrigued by the taco truck for a while and finally had a chance to stop. This is a must try in Maple Grove!We parked in the back of Lowe's and we're excited to see that the truck has two picnic tables which was great since the weather was so nice and we could eat right there. The menu has all of the basics and a variety of meat options (including tongue!). We ordered tacos and nachos but they ran out of nachos (and tortas) so added some additional tacos and a side of corn. We got a mix of shredded meat and steak. All was delicious! I would say that I would skip ordering the taco combo next time and just opt for the tacos. I think we will def be back to try nachos and the birria. Next time your in the mood for Mexican, give this place a try!

One of the few places around that does tacos right! Great flavors, good prices, even better portion sizes haha after I took the first bite of my tacos, I had to go up and order seconds to go!

Great people and great food. Best tortas around. Don't pass up this fantastic food truck.

When you're craving authentic Mexican, specifically street tacos and you come across the best you've had in MN... it's a good day! I can't wait to come back and have again. Hot, fresh, and full of flavor, El Calentano del Sur is the real deal!

So yummy, this is a secret gem! I have passed this unassuming looking food trailer a number of times, often thinking who goes there ever?....is it actually open?....the trailer looks as though it was last painted in 1989! So worth it, authentic Mexican street food in MN...not an easy find. Perfectly sized portions and friendly too. I'll be returning.
