Taqueria El Tizoncito

Didn’t think I would find amazing tacos outside of California, but this place proved me wrong! This review is for the blue truck parked near Kenny Rd.
Had all four types of tacos (Pollo, Asada, Pastor, Chicharone). Meat in the tacos are so flavorful and portions generous. The pineapple with the pork is my favorite! As others have mentioned, the green salsa is very spicy — awesome since I love the heat! Washed it all down with a bottle of carbonated (and non-​alcoholic) sangria and finished with the sweet and rich flan dessert. I’ve been here a handful of times now and have not been disappointed once. The owners are very nice and I love coming here as much as I can!

I have only had the chicken tacos, but they were very good. I dont like the green sauce because it was hotter than what im used to… but over all ut was good. Cant wait ro fo on Monday. It is right around the corner from my job. The location is wrong. It is now located on old Henderson rd.

Tacooos! The al pastor is the best, definitely better than the pollo and asada.
The green sauce is spicy! so watch out, it’s not like the mild ones at los gauchos.
The only con is there is no price on the menu and tacos cost more than the average in the cbus area.
Really nice owners, they turned on their little TV for us to watch the world cups. Awesome! Definitely worth a visit if you are in this area.

Ordered chicken quesadilla. Was decent, not extraordinary. Fast service. Spicy salsa.

This is the only taco truck in the Northwest Columbus area that I have seen so I frequent here pretty consistently. I basically only come here for the tacos because they are delicious and I haven’t found anything else on the menu I like as much. The meat has amazing flavor, better than Los Guachos in my opinion and they put a hefty amount of it on the tacos. I’ve also had the quesadillas which are really greasy and loaded with a lot of cheese. These might be the real authentic deal but I prefer my quesadillas crispy on the corners and lighter in general. The gringas which is considered the American style dish is pretty good also. One thing that could use improvement is their Spanish menu with little English translation. Despite some of the downfalls of this place, I highly recommend the tacos. They are my favorite in the city!

Looks like they moved their truck to the Monroe Tire parking lot off of Bethel, cuz that’s where I found them this week. I noticed they moved here probably about a week ago and finally got around to checking it out (cuz i love me some tacos).
I got 2 tacos (pastor and chroizo) which were $ 1.75 each (a little pricey if you ask me for small bite size tacos) but they tasted pretty good. They give you options of green or red chili, but i got both. The green chili was soothing and the red chili sauce was spicy but more of a medium spice, not super hot. I really liked how it was made to order, but since there’s Taqueria Los Guachos right there (and even La Casita) I’d rather go to Los Guachos.

El Tizoncito is a new taco truck occupying a space in the lot of End Zone Drive Thru. There was a truck here once before, but it mysteriously vanished. You can read more about that in my review of End Zone. Needless to say, with a stark lack of taco trucks in this area, I was overjoyed to find another truck at this location, and eager to try it. So within days of discovering it, I made the trek out for lunch.
Like most authentic trucks (Juniors is the exception that proves the rule), there is very little by way of vegetarian friendly items. However, the staff were more than happy to accommodate me upon hearing my dietary restrictions. I asked the price of a quesadilla, the only menu item missing a price, and was told $ 6 for chicken, etc. I asked how much «con solo vegetales» and was quoted $ 5. Not bad, not bad. I then asked just to make sure that the sopes didn’t have meat in them, and upon confirmation, ordered one of those as well. My total came to $ 8.50. The guy behind the counter seemed genuinely appreciative to have the business, gave me an extra sauce and a biz card to take home.
My total was apparently a great deal because, as it turned out, I ordered entirely too much food. I had no idea the quesadilla would be as big as it was. He explained that they make a quesadilla with two shells, and put all the stuff in the middle (as opposed to folding one shell over). What I did not know was they use thicker, Mexican-​style tortillas, instead of tex-​mex, thinner ones. And the veggies were piling out all over the box. Too much food or not, I devoured every bite. I foresee this being a regular lunch option. Next time I’ll leave out the sope. It was good, but just too much food.
Oh, bonus: LATE hours! I’ve got a photo I’ll be uploading soon that lists their closing time as 10pm weekdays, and 11pm weekends. Wow.
