Best tacos al pastor I’ve had on the east coast. Fresh tender tortillas, and good salsas!

There are a lot of good taco options in this part of town, but I keep coming back to El Rodeo. Noting overly complicated, just a filling portion of good tacos at a very reasonable price. Their burritos also hit the spot. The line can be long but moves pretty fast if you haven’t ordered ahead.

I definitely earned the right to judge an Excellent Mexican food from the American version of it . Went to Mexico so many times , Worked with Mexicans for 20+ years and yet i have close friends from mexico . This Truck is the REAL DEAL people. Shame on me saying it 10 years later . Yes i know the owner for years now because i used to be a regular before i moved out of philly plus i was a food truck owner my self in the past for many years . So im talking from experience. My favorite is the Cabesa tacos( head meat) Do your self a favor and come eat some out of this planet real Mexican food made by the owner him self . I can guarantee you that you'll love it .

I'm was born, raised and lived my entire life in Southern California, so I KNOW good tacos. Hands down, best tacos you will find in South Philly. My husband and I were in heaven when we discovered this food tuck. These are much larger than your normal street tacos from TJ or LA, so don't make the mistake I did and ordered 5 tacos haha. Definitely 2 is enough, but 1 order of tacos comes with 3 tacos! You can order them the true Mexican style with just cilantro, onions and salsa or you can do the other versions with lettuce, cheese and salsa. They have the option of tortas, quesadillas and burritos also, which we have tried as well and they don't disappoint. They can get really busy in the evenings, especially close to closing time, so you can call ahead to place orders to pick up. They have Horchata and Melon water both so so so good. If you are in the area, definitely stop by and try it. They are only set up Wednesday-Sundays from noon to 10pm.

a mexican food truck that sells most of mexican foods you can get. tacos are great and recently they started birria tacos I could recommend. but it’s $15 tho. even though I like the almost-a-gallon horchata, they put carrots in my taco that’s one thing I could be curious of.
