I particularly enjoyed the lengua tacos—so tender and flavorful. The only thing to keep in mind is to bring cash, but it's well worth it. This food truck is simply delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lunch outing at El Taco Express and was delighted by what I tasted. The tacos were immensely satisfying, with the shrimp taco being especially noteworthy. The outdoor setting offers a unique vibe. The only drawback was the limited seating at peak hours. I would recommend visiting during less busy times if you can. Overall, a very enjoyable meal!
