Taqueria La Costena

I give their tacos a 6 out of 10, they’re OK but greasy. I am from Mexico and know about my food. Their asada, bistec tacos are descent, their tacos al pastor aren’t trully tacos al pastor. Call ahead if you don’t want to wait 20−30mins for your tacos. Their tacos come with fresh cheese, lettuce, grilled onion & radish, not with onion & cilantro. Their hot sauce is medium. I give them a 1 star cause their catering services suck, i tried to hire their services 3 weeks in advance but they never reach out to give me a quote, instead they texted me saying they could not provide me with their services because they had a bigger event. I recommend Acapulco Mexican grocery store and Taqueria (corner of McDill & Cypress Ave), their tacos are cheaper, more meat variety, hand tossed tortilla & overall excellent service.

Why 4 stars? Because it’s legit, don’t be scared.

I had seen this truck on North Armenia for a while… and now there are two of them. Since the duplicate landed a spot in Seminole Heights, I couldn’t resist finally trying it out.
My quesadilla was a buttery tortilla, packed with meat and cheese. While it was delicious, it was not the «authentic Mexican» that I expected. It was much more along the lines of what my Mom used to make for me as a kid. My Mom is not Mexican.
But… it was tasty as all get out. And isn’t that the important thing?
