Taco Mondo

Besides being one of the best, consistent food trucks in Philly, Taco Mondo/​StreetFood Philly catered our wedding. Mike and Carolyn were the best and helped us create a great food experience from cocktail hour, all the way through dessert. Their organization and attention to detail of every morsel of food and plate that went out was top notch. Coming from a catering background, they also had great recommendations that were cost effective and affordable.
One week from the wedding, they easily allowed a menu change to the most talked about food of the night, the Mini Korean Fried Chicken Tacos w/​pickled vegetables, sesame and scallion serving straight out of the food truck! We’d also heard Mike was up the night before cutting up cherry tomato slices for the mini burgers. They served a red wine braised short rib that just melted.
Our guests loved their food and the professional service; food came out warm, the entire staff was accommodating to everyone. The food exceeded our expectations and we still talk about it all the time.
Mike and Carolyn are great at what they do. They serve the best food at a high standard. If you’re looking for a caterer, getting married, and/​or want to create a great affordable food experience, call Taco Mondo/​StreetFoodPhilly (or any food truck you love) and you’ll be better off w/​high quality food as opposed to that generic wedding buffet-​esque meat/​potatoes/​greens plate.

We had Taco Mondo at our wedding, and people have been telling me for the last week how good the tacos were. Definitely a hit!

They didn’t have any fish taco options on the day they showed up but they did have steak and that’s a close 2^nd in my book. I went with 3 steak tacos and a couple of chorizo empanadas. Pretty everything was on point here, they really know what they are doing. The steak was super flavorful and the marinate wasn’t overpowering which was nice. Will definitely be on the lookout for you guys again in the future at Night Market or in the city.

Delicious food and nice customer services. Love it a Female run food truck! Just wish could mix and match tacos in your order

I always stalk this truck out at the Philadelphia night markets. Only negative is that it deters me from trying out other food trucks since it’s hard to pass up. Haven’t had a taco that I didn’t love from this truck!

I «heart» the Taco Mondo food truck. I’ve devoured the BBQ Brisket, Mahi Mahi, and Smoked Pork tacos – all absolutely delish. The ingredients are fresh, the staff is friendly, and most importantly the tacos are tasty – yum!

Very nice experience sitting out on a warm July night with some tacos from the Taco Mondo truck on South Street near 23^rd (little parklet there). Pretty good stuff (not quite La Callaca Feliz) with an interesting twist. Nothing like the real street tacos in Mexico, but some upscale-​Philly take on something vaguely taco-​esque (there’s a TOTILLA! so what ever you put in it, I guess, is a TACO!) but it was all an agreeable combination of flavors (although red cabbage & brisket puts me somewhere east of Budapest more than South of Border). The chicken was good but the pork seemed really salty to me (we tried some of each variety). There were no «fish» offerings at this truck, unfortunately. Overall, a thoughtful, well-​conceived product. Only thing lacking to me would be something more along the lines of condiments which can be added by the customer; one of the great things about the taco stands in Mexico is that you find radishes, chopped onion salsa, cilantro, etc… so, if you’re like me (who tends to like more veggie stuff to balance out the meat) you can add a little. That would be TACO HEAVEN.

So I’ve been getting harassed all morning by someone furious that I dared to leave a negative review. She is giving me specifics as to the number of people they served that day. Very unprofessional!

It took me a little time to start working on this review. I had to do some soul searching and advice gathering from Y’alk about how to evaluate food trucks. I’m going to have to go with a four star review for Taco Mondo.
The mahi mahi taco was good but I was not blown away like some of the other reviewers. After Andrea F.‘s comparison to La Calaca Feliz’s tacos, I had my expectations high. I really liked the pineapple salsa. It wasn’t just pineapple flavored, there were large chunks of fresh pineapple in the taco. The fish itself was fine, but I’ve had better. Each taco came in a double pieced soft tortilla. It was almost a little too much wrapping. If it was a large single pieced tortilla it would have helped to keep the ingredients in the taco.
I also had a side of chips and salsa. The chips to salsa ratio was a little off though. Larger cups or less chips would have corrected this issue.
So Taco Mondo was solid. I enjoyed my lunch. Was I overly impressed or rushing to follow the truck around the city for another helping? Probably not.

Best tacos ever! We were at Neshaminy Creek Brewing yesterday and I got an assortment. These tacos were so filling that 3 of us couldn’t finish 10! I got the smoked chicken, the beef, brisket, fried chicken (OMG) and my absolute favorite was the chorizo and shrimp… TO DIE FOR! They didn’t have the Korean taco that I’ve had before, but they were kind enough to give me a side of kimchi, making my night complete. I can’t say enough about how friendly everyone was and can’t wait to eat there again!

At Night Market I stopped and grabbed the 2 for $ 6.00 Citrus Chicken tacos. They did not disappoint! Friendly staff, quick service for a hectic night. The chèvre cheese is a nice touch on these corn tacos, they are fairly big and filling.
Thank you. Very tasty!

I just had the Pork Belly and KimChi Tacos last Saturday when Taco Mondo was outside of Yards Brewing and they were amazing!!! I also got a smoked chicken taco and it was delicious and moist unlike a lot of other chicken tacos… plus the guy on the truck was a super Hottie! I can’t wait to visit this truck again!

I had this outside Yards yesterday and it was amazing and worth standing in the rain for. I got the burrito bowl, for $ 8. The taste is great! And totally filling. For what you would pay the same for at qdoba or other places, you get the same amount, but much better flavor and much better quality ingredients. I would hunt down this truck the next time I wanted Mexican. Also tastes amazing re-​heated the next day

I had either beef or steak (I can’t remember, busy weekend) tacos both Saturday and Sunday when this was parked outside a festival and they were unexpectedly awesome both days. I was hoping they would be good, but its rare that a place makes me get the same exact thing two days in a row. The sauce, topping, meat, and tortillas were all spot on. Plus they were quick. I hope I can track this truck down next time I’m in the area.

I devoured my 3 fish tacos, washed it down with a mandarin Jarrito, and wiped my fingers clean just so I could type this review via phone.
Next to La Calaca Feliz, these are the best fish tacos I’ve had in a while, but for half the price ($ 9 for 3 loaded tacos ain’t bad). Crispy battered fish loaded with spice, a nice corn salsa, and fresh-​ass tortillas… you can’t go wrong.
Some girl with a whiny voice that struck my deepest nerve stood behind me and bitched she couldn’t just buy 1 taco and exclaimed that people are so fat here. Go to Saladworks hun, and leave us taco aficionados to do the real eating, k?

Yesterday, I commented to a co-​worker that everything I eat from Street Food Philly is either a ⁹⁄₁₀ or ¹⁰⁄₁₀. Their other truck, Taco Mondo, is no different. The Burritos are huge and the tacos have so much flavor… but what really got me was the Chicken Torta. Unbelievable! You must try this. You will not be disappointed.
High quality ingredients and new concepts weekly keep me coming back. Follow @TacoMondo on twitter for the daily menu and location.

Seriously the best tacos I’ve ever eaten and it’s consistently delicious every time I’ve been there.
Smoked pork tacos are out of this world and the citrus roasted chicken too! I really can’t get enough of the crispy chicken skin and aioli toppings on the smoked pork tacos!
In addition, great prices for the portion sizes and the quality of the food!
And the two owners are super friendly and excited about their product!

The owners of Street Food Philly have created yet another amazing concept. They filled the missing TACO void that the Philly food truck scene was in need of.
Menu is always changing but still maintaining the same quality and taste that never disappoint.
Staff is ALWAYS friendly and personable.
Al Pastor & Korean Fried Chicken Tacos are highly recommended.
Yet another great addition to the already great lineup at 33^rd & Arch on Drexel’s campus.

Today I got the chicken citrus tacos for lunch (served with chevre cheese) at 33^rd and Arch. Tacos were 2 for $ 6, 3 for $ 8 (I got 2). Overall, they were very good! I see another reviewer commented on fatty chicken, but maybe they’ve changed their supplier because mine wasn’t fatty at all. The chicken wasn’t particularly greasy, and the chevre added a nice touch. Next time I might add a bit of sriracha. The guys were really nice, which was an added bonus. Not sure if it was the location or rainy weather, but there was only one person in line before me so I got my food super quickly! Next time I want to try the spicy tofu tacos!

Nice tacos. Crazy busy. Really pleasant people.
Taco Mondo seems to be an expansion of Street Food Philly and may be taking residence near 30^th Street Station permanently in a few weeks. I ordered the veggie tacos (fried eggplant, goat cheese, pickled daikon, romaine, and tomato sauce) and plantain fries for $ 9. Other options include Mahi mahi tacos, Al Pastor Pork tacos, and a chicken burrito. Personally, I’d have preferred more eggplant — thicker slices would be nice to taste the eggplant vs the fried shell. The daikon provided a pleasant balance to the package. Tacos are built with a standard double softshell quickly set on the grill. The plantains are topped with something similar to a Cajun spice mix. This wasn’t really my favorite side from a cart. Lines were really ludicrous since the weather is fantastic today so it did take a while for me to receive my food.
Tip top taco truck treats for train terminal travelers! Cheers.
