" My family and I had a fantastic lunch here. The kids enjoyed the mini tacos, which were packed with flavor. The guacamole was freshly made, which is a huge plus. The staff was friendly, even though it took a bit longer than expected to get our food. We weren't bothered too much by the atmosphere since we took our food to go. We'll definitely be back soon, and I recommend this taco truck to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food in Austin! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Taqueria Peloncitos while roaming around Austin and boy, what a find! The tacos were the highlight of my trip. Freshly made tortillas filled with perfectly seasoned servings of al pastor. The verde salsa complemented the flavors beautifully. I could eat here every day! The only downside was the somewhat uninviting atmosphere next to the dumpster, but the food makes it worth it. I'll definitely return next time I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always get excited to visit Taqueria Peloncitos! The al pastor is to die for. I ordered tacos and they were large and filled to the brim with meat. The tortillas are made right in front of you, which is a bonus. The only reason I didn't give it a full score is because I sometimes wish they had more options for sides. Still, this is the best taco truck for authentic flavors in Austin! " (*Curated Review*)

" I feel like Taqueria Peloncitos has been another victim of overcoming their success. I remember when the tacos were amazing! Unfortunately, on my last visit, the flavors were muted, and the portion sizes seemed smaller. I got the pastor tacos, and the tortillas were still fresh, but I didn't get that same satisfaction I used to. The location is still as inconvenient as ever. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Peloncitos never disappoints! I have become addicted to their tacos, especially the suadero. The tortillas taste fresh as they make them right in front of you! Every visit feels like a little trip to Mexico. While the area might not seem friendly, I always order to-go and enjoy my food elsewhere. It's absolutely worth any trouble due to the great quality of their authentic dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm always talking about Taqueria Peloncitos! The authentic flavors really stand out, especially the green salsa. I was visiting Austin and decided to check this taco truck, and I was not disappointed. The handmade tortillas and the freshness of the ingredients are unmatched! I had a fantastic lunch and even got some extra tacos to go. One of the best food experiences I've had recently! " (*Curated Review*)

" My latest visit to Taqueria Peloncitos was a bit disappointing. I found the tacos overcooked and too dry for my liking. The atmosphere is also not the best since it's right next to a dumpster. I was really looking forward to the al pastor but ended up disappointed. Maybe it was just an off day? I don't think I'll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
