Taqueria El Fogoncito

Best El Pastors you’ll ever eat! I’ve eaten a lot of El Pastors too, the pork for example here is so juicy on the inside but the outside has this perfect amount of crust.
I squeeze the lime juice over my El Pastors, then sprinkle salt over them, grab some habaneros and a strip of the green sauce. When you bite into the taco the the pork has the perfect amount of crunchiness and the inside of the pork is so soft and juicy. The cilantro tastes like some one yanked out of the ground it’s so fresh and pineapple is perfect in every way. Honestly everything about the taco is so fresh it makes my head spin! This is my happy place!

Tried 1 of everything on the menu and it was absolutely amazing. Kind of a weird spot. but don’t turn back. It’s worth it. Will definitely go back again.

Don’t let the location fool you. Awesome Al Pastor. Their torta bread is exceptionally good. Loved their salsa and gringa (open face taco).

Awesome place to grab a quick bite, or hang out a bit outdoors and eat at one of their many tables. It’s clean, service is quick and the food is fresh and good. We weren’t too hungry when we went, and the guy working was extremely patient with my butchered spanish. (Hey, I may be half Mexican, but it’s been a few years since I’ve been around family or anyone that talks to me in spanish!)
Their green salsa is darn good, I was surprised. If I didn’t have my feisty 2 year old with me, I probably would have gone up to slather more on my tacos, although they didn’t need it. This will probably be one of my new regular places to cycle through, especially since the prices are unbeatable.
I had two carne asada tacos (cilantro and onion), and they were tasty! My boyfriend got two of the chicken ones, but he is one of the people who hate cilantro (I will never understand this) and I forgot to ask for lettuce on his — even with just a plain meat only taco he thought they were pretty good too.

Awesome hole in the wall Mexican spot! Very clean and friendly service.
Can’t beat the tasty Carne Asada, Al-​pastor, tripitas, and suadero tacos for $ 1.50.
They have a clean restroom and plenty of tables. Also have a large screen TV (World Cup on, of course) outside.
Worth the drive! Located behind the 2 «ocean blue» buildings.

I stopped here today for a quick lunch. I had two tacos, one was an al pastor and the other was chicken. Both were good as usual.

I ate here a few weeks ago on a Wednesday, which is 2-​for-​1 al pastor taco day. 2 tacos for $ 1.50?! You can’t beat it.
They make authentic mexican tacos with onions, pineapple and cilantro (no cheese and lettace a la Taco Bell). While you can’t beat the prices, you really can’t beat the taste. These tacos were delicious.
I wish I could give a few more details, but I haven’t had anything else off their menu. I definitely want to go back soon!

First Columbus based Taco Stand /​truck I’ve visited. I have had several great tacos all over the US while traveling with my job and this place is as good as it gets. We had Tacos Pastor and Pollo (Chicken) and Pastor Tortas on this trip. Food was very good, very fresh, the included red /​green salsas were very nice. We will be returning!
One note, I did have a hard time finding the place and apparently it moves form time to time although it does stay very near the Morse /​Cleveland Ave. intersection.

This is by far my most favorite taco truck in Columbus. Service is great & food is even better! The al Pastor tacos with the sliced pineapple, cilantro & onion are top notch. I seriously haven’t had a better taco & I eat a ton of them. Wednesdays are buy one get one free al pastor tacos as well. It’s a great deal! I love that they have a firepit out front to stay warm while I wait on my delicious to go orders :)
If you’re looking for an authentic taco-there’s no question about it here. The verde (green) sauce & rojo (red) sauces are equally amazing as well. The red resembles more of a smokey chipotle flavor & has the perfect amount of heat.

I haven eaten here a few times. I have only had the al pastor tacos and they are very good. BOGO on al pastor tacos on Wednesday after 4pm.

The only authentic MEXICAN tacos in c-​bus are on the taco trucks. I love them all but this one seems to be pretty consistent and they make a hot sauce I like. I was just there and they are open on Monday’s now woop woop! Bongo night is still on Tuesday’s and the tacos are still frekin Amazeballs!!!

My favorite taco truck in the city! Glad they found a new spot on Morse Road, so I am once again able to enjoy their amazing food – it was a long hiatus! I’ve tried their tacos (traditional with cilantro and onions, corn tortillas), gringas (made with cheese and a flour tortilla), and their tortas (sandwiches). Everything is made to order and very fresh, with several choices of meats. They also have a few entrée plates that I haven’t had a chance to try yet.
My favorite thing on their menu is the al pastor tacos. On Wednesdays they have buy one get one free al pastor tacos – a great deal. They have tasty condiments, complimentary cucumbers, and pickled peppers & onions. Nice, friendly folks behind the counter.

This place was the bomb! An Argentinian friend of mine recommended this truck to me as the best in the city for Pastor and overall quality eats. She told me it is owned by the same people who run the Los Gauchos truck on the west side that everyone talks about. So, you know it’s good. You could also infer it’s awesomeness, by all of their Mexican patrons eating dinner when we arrived.
Well, we brought a Mexican of our own to check it out and it was cool to have him order in Spanish and take care of business for us. The guys ordered tacos pastor, pollo y carne asada. I ordered a pollo torta. I wish I would have gotten pastor, because it wasn’t gross and fatty like other places but marinated and formed on a spit, it was lean and flavorful and juicy. Mike said he’d never seen it that way before, but really liked it. He may tell you himself in his own review so, moving on.
Tacos were served with the onion and cilantro and sides of radish and cucumbers were self serve. They had red sauce and green sauce and I liked the green better. Cool, creamy with a little kick. It went great on my pollo torta, which was flavorful, toasty, buttery, and all kinds of awesome with grilled white meat chicken and melty cheese. Really good and way better than tortas I had at Juniors and La Michohana. They also grilled up some onions for our friend that said it made it Mexican all the way. Not sure if they charged extra for the, but they didn’t mind preparing it for him. It think the total was veinte cinquenta, which is $ 20 something, maybe $ 25 for 7 tacos, a torta, 2 waters, and a coke. Not bad, and we were stuffed!
I think we’ll be back again before the weeks end and will frequent this truck over going to a mexi restaurant any day.

That’s a big truck!
This mother of a food truck packs a huge punch when it comes to tasty gringas. I tried the al pastor gringa (for a cool $ 3) and wanted to trade in my chicken and steak taco immediately (translation: get the gringa.) There were complimentary cucumbers for snacking, and fresh limes for a-​squeezin, and the hot sauce was pretty darn hot and was so powerful it stole some plavor. The cilantro sauce made for some extra flavor, but it was really runny and tasted watered down. Fact is though, the meat was so well seasoned that not much sauce was needed. It would have been an added bonus to have some pico de gallo on those tacos and gringa, but the meat truly did hold well without any added extras.
Blink and you just may miss it. Tucked away in the parking lot of an old, empty business, there’s a chance you’ll pass it –like we did… two times.
What makes this truck different from a lot of other trucks is the pull-​up seating/​bar attached TO the truck. A nice way to converse with the folks runnin’ the show!
Really diggin’ my new found love for taco trucks! Good thing there are at least four to five more near Morse Rd alone.
