Tacos El Torito

O.M.G ... SO GOODThis is actually a review for Tacos El Torito 2 in Arlington. I haven't been to the original. So friggin' yummy. My favorite taco truck. I love that it seems to be run by all women. (Nothing against the dudes.)The carne asada tacos are just ... my mouth is watering now thinking of them. YUM!

Good to go!They do a really good job on there tacos and have a good selection.Good value for the price.

These are the best quesadillas I've ever tried! If I could I would eat them everyday. And the service is top notch

CARNE ASADA TACOOOOOS!!! CHORIZO TACOOOOOS!!! Tacos el Torito is a food truck that offers a variety of tacos (barbacoa, al pastor, chorizo, buche, tripa, lengua, cabeza, carne asada, and pollo), quesadillas, sopas (pollo, res, and mondongo), tortas, chuchitos, tamales, burritos, pollo guisados, and drinks. The hubs and I stopped by to check them out, as we saw them while driving back home! We ordered their Carne Asada tacos (super delicious! The meats were well-seasoned and juicy), Al Pastor tacos (made with pineapples, I just wished there were some chunks of pineapples within; this was a little forgettable, but I did like the sauteed onions), Chorizo tacos (one of the best chorizo tacos I've had, the crumbled sausage had a great taste to it with the perfect amount of kick), Carne Asada Burrito (monstrous in size, this was filled to the max with rice, cheese, and tons of carne asada). I loved how the tortillas for the tacos were actually fried with the oil and the juices, making them crispy and delicious (just make sure you request this type of preparation)!All items come with a salsa verde on the side, but I highly recommend using one of their bottled sauces, the Picamas Salsa Brava - nice thick hot sauce for the tacos! We also tried their horchata, which was slightly sweeter, but nice and creamy. The staff here were super friendly, and there were patrons chowing down at their counter as well as around the truck under the shade. A great gem of a taco truck, check them out - they are usually located in front of the Shell gas station off of Lee Highway.+Carne Asada Tacos :D :D :D+delicious carne asada+great Chorizo Tacos :D+generously-filled burritos+Picamas Salsa Brava :D+friendly staff+cash only+located in front of Shell off of Lee Highway

$2.50 TACOS-C'MON, you cannot beat that. CARNE ASADA TACOS ALL THE WAY!Also if you're like me and never carry cash, they take cards!

Good, tasty, flavorful and quick! When you're in the mood for good, quick food that isn't considered fast food, give this taco food truck a try.First time I've visited, though have worked in the area for 6 years and never gave them a thought. A co-worker recently tried them and highly recommended a visit.Tacos are inexpensive and menu is mostly in Spanish, so I had to ask and somewhat guess. I had two pork tacos and one pork and pineapple. They have six other types. But the soup on their menu looked like the best. I plan to try it one of these days.Three delicious tacos, great sauce and flavor, and a can of soda for less than $10, can't beat it. Since its less than a mile from work, I plan to visit about once a week.

I was searching Yelp for authentic street food tacos near Vienna VA and ran across this hidden gem of a food truck in the Merrifield area. It seems they always park and service from the Shell service station right next to the Merrifield post office. Close to home: checkEasy parking: checkAuthentic Mexican Tacos: check (2 corn tortillas, onion & cilantro)'Offal' style meats available: check (Cabeza (pork stomach), Buche (head meats), Lengua (tongue), Tripa (tripe))Inexpensive: check ($2.50/taco)Corn tortillas: checkFor my first try: Cabeza, Lengua and Al Pastor - All were very good. Tortillas were a little overcooked and crunchy - I like mine softer, hence the 4 stars.I will be back!

I've only eaten 200 or 300 tacos while in Mexico and throughout Central America, so I'm not an expert. But El Torito has the best tacos I've had by far in the U.S.!I eat there ( food truck) at least once or twice a week. Authentic cuts of meat and friendly service.Try the torta mixed, delicious!!!!!

I am a regular at this taco truck and I have spent so much money there since moving to the area a few years ago. I usually go once a week. They are always friendly and consistent. The tacos are AMAZING!!! I am particularly fond of the chorizo and barbacoa, but I overhear a lot of people ordering lengua, so that may be worth trying if that's your thing. They have a huge menu so if you're craving something different, you'll definitely have options: quesadillas, tortas, pupusas, soup, etc. Note that they are located at N Pershing Dr and N Piedmont. They are there seven days a week, usually starting around 6-6:30 pm and I'm not sure when they close (maybe 9-10pm?). Please go get some tacos and support this great local business during these difficult times - you won't regret it!

This is probably the best tacos I've had in the DMV area. Good sized portions, delicious taste, and great sauces. The business is definitely open, but the correct address is 209 North Piedmont St. Arlington, VA 22203. I get cravings for the carne asado tacos frequently because they are so delicious. Their pork and cheese pupusas are the bomb, and they have the only lengua tacos that I've ever enjoyed.
