Steak Quesadilla Mistake
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I asked for a steak quesadilla with light cheese, but instead, I received a cheese quesadilla. This was particularly frustrating as it cost almost $20.

Impossible to Order Online
I have not yet ordered because I cannot order online. I have called 3 times and gone straight to voicemail. The menu redirects to the main El Gran Taco website, and DoorDash/other sites always say it's temporarily closed for ordering.
It's very hard to order food in advance if there's no possible way to.

Spicy Green Salsa Perfection!
I visited this taco truck and ordered the Tacos al pastor especial. When the cashier asked about salsa, I requested the green salsa. He warned me it was spicy 🔥🥵, and he wasn't kidding!
Dude, no joke 🤣, it was the perfect salsa. Unlike other places that serve pork adobo for al pastor tacos, here I could taste the Achiote flavor on the meat. For seating, they have two benches, but it's a taco truck, so there's plenty of parking to eat in your car.
I recommend this place; the crew was very polite and the food was good 👍. Thanks, gracias!

Decent Mexican Food with Sit-Down Prices
My experience at this restaurant offered decent Mexican food, which was pretty good overall. However, the prices are comparable to a sit-down establishment, with most lunches costing between $13-16 before drinks. They do provide a covered picnic table if you need to eat on-site.
For those with dietary preferences, there's a vegetarian burrito option, and they offer about 8 different kinds of meats. To enhance convenience, they provide a beeper so you can wait in your car or nearby. Occasionally, there's a daily special that includes a drink.

Heartbreaking Decline in Quality
My experience was incredibly disappointing. I used to consider this place the best burrito truck around, and I was a loyal customer, stopping myself from going more than twice a week. However, they replaced the trailer with a truck, and the food quality has taken a distinctly bad downturn.
The refried beans are a mix of dehydrated and cooked, the different meats in the burritos have quite bad flavor, texture, and preparation. All the food is of lower quality than previously. I went from recommending it to anyone who would listen to being embarrassed I ever went.
This kind of downturn in quality is not related to the truck itself, but the food. I won't be going back.

Burnt Torta, Unusual Experience
My torta was burnt. I always come here, but I don't know why it turned out like this this time.

Great food and organized service for our event!
Our experience with the food truck at our event was fantastic. They offered us 3 choices with rice, beans, and a drink. With 100 people attending, they were incredibly organized, and the food was great.
We would definitely use them again.

Amazing Service on a Holiday!
My experience at the restaurant was initially disappointing when I received the wrong order for lunch. However, the service was incredibly fast and helpful in resolving the issue. They managed to fix everything, even on a holiday, which I found to be amazing.
The atmosphere was also quite pleasant.

El Gran Taco catered for my resident event and they did a fantastic job! The food was tasty and the team worked so smoothly to get everyone's food out in a timely manner. I definitely recommend booking them for any catering events!
