Taco Taxi

This place has been around forever! I remember always begging my mom to pull over to go here when I was little and they exceeded my expectations when I finally got to try them. LOVE their steak tacos! Not many places have been able to compare in my opinion.Staff is very friendly and humorous. They seemed to love that I was taking photos. The location is a little weird if you've never been, easy to drive past if you aren't looking, but definitely my absolute favorite taco truck in Minneapolis. Happy to see them still thriving in business!

Had carne Asada and Al pastor tacos, they were great, though a bit pricey - they're traditional street taco size (smaller) and a bit pricey to me at $3.50 each.

This is a review for the food truck on Lyndale. This was delicious! We ordered a pork street taco, a carne quesadilla and a cabeza burrito. The food was delicious! Each was a hearty portion, moist and flavorful. The street tacos are pretty small so I'd say for a full meal, you should order at least 4.

This is a review for the Taco Taxi food truck on the corner of Lagoon and Emerson:The tacos are the perfect snack or meal for cheap. Currently at $2.50 per street taco, you have the option of carne asada, pollo, al pastor or cabeza. They also have other traditional Mexican street foods such as burritos, quesadillas, and tortas. I opted for the carne asada and they were delicious. The corn tortillas were fresh, the beef was flavorful but not dry, and they gave me a lime on the side which really helped enhance the flavor. Keep in mind, they are street tacos which are smaller than you may be used to. For a meal, I'd recommend ordering 4-5 to be full.

The food was good. I got a chicken quesadilla, rice, and beans. However, the inside of their restaurant was somewhat dirty and didn't feel welcoming to sit down and eat.I also don't believe there is any free parking. From what I could tell there was only paid Street parking available.

Busy street from the window, decent marinated pork tacos. Customer service was good. I'll be back.

Had to be in Minneapolis for a week and it's safe to say I had to visit Taco Taxi a few times during my entire stay ... one of the only late night spots for legit tacos .... Whole in the wall place with some interesting people watching outside ... But what matters is what was going on inside ... the tacos were legit .. Hell the birria was amazing even on a hot 80 degree night... Full of flavor and excellent and good price. . If I ever have to VA back in the area... taco taxi will get another visit from me .

They always have amazing tacos! This place is always reliable and open late for amazing food that you'd pay for during the day as well as late at night. I'd recommend any of their tortas or tacos (except taco americano - I've never had it but you'd be missing out if you went out here and didn't pick any of their authentic options). Classic food truck with a cool style as a taxi and always great service!

Taco Taxi is one of many taquerias in the Phillips area of Minneapolis. To be honest, as a Chicago transplant I haven't been that impressed with most of the Mexican fast food here. Taco Taxi is one of the better ones, and I've never walked away disappointed.The tacos always hit the spot and are prepared authentically. Tortas here are on point -- not extraordinary, but never disappointing. And the burritos here are good lord the biggest in the area (do not order unless hungry).

A good part of Lake Street in south Minneapolis has really become a Little Mexico enclave with a lot of culture and great food in recent years. Taco Taxi is one of the many local, hole-in-the-wall spots for authentic street tacos, burritos and other tasty treats. No Tex-Mex stuff here. I'm not sure I can say it is better or worse than any of the other little places in the area but there are a couple of things that made it stand out in my mind during my lunch visit. First, it's bright yellow exterior and catchy name draw you in like moth to flame. Once in, I noted that it was not as crowded as some other places. That may be because it is a little more to the east and I think that the other places get more pedestrian traffic from the midtown market area workers. That makes this great for a quick in and out lunch without lines.Second, their prices are about $1 less than other shops for a decent burrito. I think that the portions here are a bit smaller too but I kind of like that since you can eat a delicious lunch for well under $10 here and not waddle out feeling like you just took down an entire side of beef. That often happens at some of the other places and I spend the afternoon in a post-lunch semi-coma which is kind of non-productive. Finally, their lengua was outstanding. Beefy, tender, really tasty and very much like pot roast wrapped in a tortilla with cilantro and onion. Salsa rojo on the side was plenty flavorful and had a nice heat to it. They threw in a freebie grilled jalapeño with my order when I asked for a Chile Toreado which was nice since other places have charged me up to another $1 for this added gut grenade. Definitely no complaints about the food although I can't really say that I prefer it over any other local shop but it sure is nice to have a lot of great options in this area. Minneapolis is really lucky to have a growing ethnic food scene and Taco Taxi is a very affordable part of that. Definitely recommend giving them a try!
