Tacos Azteca

Okay I honestly don’t understand the bad reviews because my husband and I order from here at least once a week and it is consistently amazing. I usually get the carnitas burrito and he’s gotten the enchiladas and tacos and they are all awesome. We tend to call in our order when we get off the D train at 145^th St. and it’s ready just a few minutes after we get to the truck. I’ve had two separate friends tell me this place has the best burritos they’ve ever had. The guys are really nice to us even though we don’t speak Spanish. We very seriously discussed having them cater our wedding reception. I love this burrito. I should have just married the burrito. Seriously it’s a great burrito. Everyone get the burrito. Burrito!

This place is THE BOMB! I’m a big fan of their chicken burritos that has, literally, all the food groups. It’s huge and delicious and you are just full for hours. The food is always fresh and they make everything from scratch.
The guys who run it are the best, too. Always nice and friendly. I don’t understand why some people are bitching about their attitude. They’re busy and swamped. Get over yourself.
I order from them at least 3 times a week. I even have friends who visit me from upstate and always get these guys’ food. Don’t listen to the haters, VIVA TACO AZTECA!

This place gave me food poisoning. I ordered the tacos pollos and the Mexican guy who took my order was quite rude and only spoke Spanish to another Mexican family who had a large order, and was quite dismissive of American customers. I saw a small line for this place, which was the only taco truck available at 10pm at night, so I figured it might be at least halfway decent. Nope. Even when I pointed out which menu item I wanted which was supposed to have avocado sauce on it, the best part, he neglected to add it to my take-​out order. The tortillas as well as the cubes of chicken were tough (and likely undercooked because I developed a low-​grade fever and stomachache). I was sorely disappointed by my first meal purchase in NYC while visiting Teacher’s College of Columbia this weekend all the way from Seattle. Just thought I’d warn ya…

I could eat this every night. Everything I’ve had is so delicious. I’ll be devastated if they ever change locations. Yum yum yum.

Wasn’t so happy this time. Burrito and tortas I guess wasn’t so fresh cuz I got some stomach problem, I couldn’t get off from toilet. And also my delivery got in an hour, even it’s a couple of blocks from my home!!!

Got two al pastor tacos here last night, they were OK not amazing, no pina but they did have a nice char on them.

My experience with this truck was pretty average.
They are churning out fresh tortillas so I will be back to try the tacos one day but the chicken quesadilla that I had on my first attempt was very bland.

Vive le Tacos Azteca! Vive le Tacos Azteca!
You’ll be chanting your way to taco tuesday once you step up to this truck, amigo. Tex-​Mex in true California style (Texas-​style Mexican food authentically Californian in nature? How does this make sense? WHO CARES! Stuff your face already, hombre!)
I’m not going to be one of those annoying vegan Californian pacifist hippies that states that just because I am from California I should be the authority on all things TexMex, Vietnamese, Chinese, or Thai… But whatever, I am. AND AS the authority on such things, I must refer you to Tacos Azteca. Their fare is cheap, the taste is high and you’ll never regret a single carb.
I always grab their vegetarian-​made-​vegan option (by not including cheese or sour cream) which consists of genuine cactus and mushrooms and normal taco-​stuff. They even clean the grill for me and use a clean spatula so theres no cross-​contamination of animal. And their tacos come with the lime, chilli pepper, radishes, and salsa and guacamole-​sauce.
Tacos Azteca is the bee-​oh-​em-​bee. (Sound it out, mijo.)

This is the closest thing California/​Riviera Maya Mexican food I could find in New York. Great food truck! Try the chicken and beef tacos with onions, cilantro and green salsa. The Picaditas and guacamole are phenomenal as well. They even deliver till midnight which is great for when it’s cold out. Hope they expand in the future! This place is a must try!

At this point I have ordered from here several times. I have had everything from tortas, to all different kinds of tacos, to tostadas, to burritos, to agua fresca. Everything has been delicious. My girlfriend lived in Mexico for a few years and she is very particular about her Mexican food. She has extremely high standard and is a bit of a Mexican food snob. She loves everything from here and it is her favorite Mexican food in the city and I think that says a lot for Tacos Azteca.

Just tried this place for the first time and so happy I took a chance on it. I ordered the bistec burrito and it was one of the best that I’ve had in New York. Grilled steak, guac, sour cream, rice, black beans and cheese all combined in a grilled tortilla. I’m from San Francisco and thus I like to think of myself as a burrito expert. Good burritos are difficult to find but this truck is amazing and will soon become one of my staples. Only downside is that $ 9 is a little expensive for a food truck burrito, but every once in a while I’ll pay the extra change in order to taste such delicious food! The chef says they’re going to start serving breakfast soon, and if they do a breakfast burrito, I’ll be in heaven.

Very good Mexican food!
I’ve been here a few times and have not been disappointed. It’s my go-​to truck in that area. The food is very fresh and authentic. Tip: call in your order before you go to the truck to pick it up, as it is very popular.
The prices are a bit high for what you get, which is the only thing deterring me from going here more often.
