This will be one taco truck I tell all my friends about! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Taqueria Express #1, I finally visited while I was in Salem. I must say, I was incredibly impressed! The tacos were succulent, especially the al pastor, and had an authentic taste that I've been missing since moving away from California. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly—definitely added to the experience. What impressed me the most was the portion size compared to the price; very affordable. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is the real deal for authentic tacos! I had the pastor and asada, and both were juicy and well-seasoned. The service could not have been friendlier; the staff treated us like we were regulars, which was refreshing. Although the seating is minimal, it carries a fun, casual vibe, making it great to eat outdoors in nice weather. Will definitely come back for more tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Discovered Taqueria Express while looking for a late-night snack, and wow, what a find! Their selection of tacos is impressive. I got the lengua and it was so tender and well-cooked. The flavors were just right—not too spicy, yet so tasty! The atmosphere is very relaxed, perfect for grabbing a bite and chilling with friends. Their efficiency in service was great even at peak hours. I will definitely be making this a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Taqueria Express! The mulitas were to die for—so cheesy and packed with beef! Plus, you can’t go wrong with the pickled carrots that come as a side; they’re a perfect complement to any dish. The staff here are genuine and truly care about your experience. I’ll definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting! Just a heads up, make sure you come with cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're seeking out real Mexican flavor, look no further! The asada burrito was my culinary highlight of the week, stuffed generously and packed with flavor that brought a taste of home. The staff made me feel welcome and were attentive to our needs. The atmosphere is nice, though I might suggest more seating options for bigger groups. Overall, 10/10! " (*Curated Review*)
