Tacos Montero

Craving some fresh tacos this is the spot to go. My friend told us about this spot and apparently this lady has this setup for a few years now.
It’s not an official truck but it’s a decent setup. Griddle top to cook the meats and fresh tortillas, there’s a salsa bar with the works (beware of the orange salsa — super spicy!)
Came here with a few people we all ordered tacos — chorizo, al pastor and carne asada, all the meats were good. Best part is the homemade fresh tortilla.
As I finished my two tacos I ordered another carne asada taco. I added only a few drops of the orange salsa and my mouth was on fire.
They are open until 11pm Sunday to Thursday and Friday and Saturday until 1am.

This little mexican joint is awesome! I love the mexican lady that works there, super friendly and is able to have conversation over some tacos. She’s told us about how hard she works and the durations. Man, it made me want to tell everyone about her spot so she can get a lot of good business to help her and her family out.
Her tacos are super bomb! I need to go back and try the other food on the menu.

My favorite taco joint. Super friendly. The tortilla is made fresh to order which I think is what makes this place really different.
Tacos are amazing and they’re open til 11 or so!
I’ve also heard they do tamales in the morning, I’ll have to try it out!

Can’t get better than fresh made tortillas for your tacos — you watch her make it after your place your order (try to speak Spanish, her English isn’t great).
Cheap and delicious. Had the carnitas — she had them on the grilltop until it was nice an crispy. Friend had lengua, also delicious.
Condiment bar right out front. Cooler of drinks available — until supplies run out. Cash only, but there is the liquor store right there.

There’s this little Mexican lady that comes out late at night to sell her Mexican food from her street cart on the corner of Tully Road across the street from Little Vietnam Mall. She barely speak a lick of English but she makes some pretty good and fresh tacos. Even her tortillas are hand made when you order it. You see her rolling the flour by hand before using a contraption to press it into that round shape that we are used to. Let’s see you be more authentic then that.
If you go late into her shift there’s a chance that she might be out of the more popular fillings. I wanted chicheron and lengua (pork skin and tongue) when I was there but she was already out of it by 11:30 PM. My back up of a pork taco and a steak taco was still pretty good and flavorful though.
There are a few very limited hard foldable chairs for seating. Otherwise expect to stand if you want to eat right then and there. She have a sauce station full of various salsa, a very light sour cream, and pickled veggies with hot peppers to top off your order.

On days the sun is shining, these are the best tortillas I’ve ever had. Fresh, warm, that perfect balance of soft and crisp… they’re outstanding, and my life is immeasurably better for having tasted them.
On days when clouds hang low on the horizon and the sky is dark, these are the best tortillas I’ve ever had. They have ruined every tortilla I have tasted since, and my life is ruined for having tasted them.

Let’s be clear. I was sober when consuming this late night meal. :)
I don’t know how well English is understood by the lovely lady preparing our food, I had a Spanish speaking friend who ordered and conversated with the woman. :D
Since she’s only open until 11pm, and we arrived after 11pm, there was only tacos available to us. I really wanted tamales :(. Beggars can’t be choosers! I was down for the asada tacos! I didn’t realize the tortillas were made fresh! I saw her rolling something in her hand, grabbing something from the bowl in front of me, and what I assumed was the cutting board. I was wrong, she was pressing fresh tortillas to throw onto the grill. Holy cow, this isn’t some fancy food truck, mind you, it was just one of those stands you pull up to and order something quick.
Tortilla had a soft crisp bite to it, I can’t express how awesome it tastes compared to store bought tortillas and restaurant served tortillas. I can eat, correction, I would eat the tortilla by itself. The flavor was nothing bitter, or stale, it’s simply heaven. Asada is added on top, the condiments, lettuce, salsa, etc, is on the side, you put and pour as much as you’d like on your order: D The tacos are half the size of a regular taco from taco bell, it’s not large.
There’s a large selection of choices of tacos– even a vegetarian one with cactus! Whoa! :D I watched the boy (I don’t know if he’s a boy or just a young looking guy) help prepare the cactus for the lady.
A lot of small food trucks I go to are a little rude and stand-​offish, but I had a very pleasant experience here and I’m sure they were wondering why I kept snapping photos :) LOL
$ 2 tacos
$ 1 can soda
$ 2 bottle soda
Prices aren’t listed on her wall of menu, ask the price first in case you don’t have enough cash! Tonight’s late night meal cost me $ 4. Well worth it! There’s a little chair to sit on, no tables, but they give you a large enough tray to hold your food. It’s Styrofoam, so it’s sturdy.
