El Buen Taco

I don’t often review food trucks, but this one is great. Eaten there twice in the past week. They come to your car and take your orders. Whether it be street tacos, tortas or quesadillas, the portions are huge (and worth it!) Part of the Little Mexico area of Lexington, the place is always packed with customers. The food is made fresh. The green salsa is awesome. The flavors are splendid!

The BEST taco truck in town!!!! Meat was well marinated, roja and verde were really spicy and tasty! The most authentic tacos I have ever had.

Been going here for like 10 yrs it was very good when I first was introduced to it and it hurts me to give a 3 star! Then I moved away for 6 yrs! And the day I came back I had to go and get me the steak tacos with cilantro and onions with the green salsa! I order the same thing every time! And I normally eat there but I took my food home and I got home and I was devastated the food isn't the same as it used to be! I ordered 3 tacos and I was missing 1 this has happened the last couple times I've been there they used to be fat tacos 2 would fill me up and you could take half of the meat and cilantro and onions off and make another taco. But now there so little and barely any cilantro and onions so I can eat 3+. I asked for some extra cilantro and onions on the side and it was like I was asking for a whole bunch just enough to taste it on my tacos to give it flavor at least because I don't taste anything like before. And the torta for $9.00 was a total joke my sister asked for steak, beans, cheese and cilantro they were out of beans and it was early in the evening Iwouldunderstandif it was late at night when it's packed. The torta was smashed so bad and it was burnt and hard. It's was hard for her to eat and there wasn't hardly anything on it she took a bite and threw it away. Please get the food back to the way it used to be because this is the only taco truck I like going to and I drive 20-25 minutes to eat your tacos. And the last few times I've brought my niece she asked how do we order I said the lady will come to the car we sat there for 15 mins and remember it wasn't busy at the time I went so I had to get out of my car and walk up to the door to order our food and stand there and wait for our food. Please get everything back to the way it used to be because I always bragged about how good your food is/was!!

I ordered late at night and the young lady that took our order didn't even get it right after we told her specifically what we wanted. So we had to wait another 16 minutes of them making our order. Plus when she left she had came back and said something else that we didn't ordered and when she went back to tell the cook all I seen was him taking off that they had out on the torta and just put it back in the bag and looked all upset. Idk I would never come back here again!

By far the best taco my husband and I have ever had. We always order the lengua tacos. NEVER disappointed!!

Best tacos I've had by far in Kentucky some of the best tacos I've had period. I feel that's saying a lot since tacos have been my favorite food since I can remember. I am from the Sacramento Valley of California where if you know, you know tacos are kind of a big deal. I consider myself a top rate taco connoisseur. I'm talking grilled halibut Tacos, shrimp, tacos. Homemade salsa, grilled onions, Cilantro, tomato, avocado, jalapenos, carne asada, pollo, all that. Not saying they have all that at Buen Taco, just trying to enlighten you as to a bit of the relationship I have with tacos. With that said El Buen Taco makes by far the best tacos I've had outside of California. And... I would even go as far as to say that, for what they are, - i.e., just a great damn taco, I feel they're arguably as good as most any other taco I've had, ever, California not withstanding. I order the carne asada taco "with everything" (being just Cilantro & Onion). And with Carne asada I usually add avocado & tomato. I also really like their barb'coa taco with everything, and I don't add avocado nor tomato on that one. Their seasoning of the meat is as close to perfection as I know. Try it if you like tacos. They also make quesadillas and tortas. All three of their options are flipping great, but like I said, particularly, I'm a taco-ologist. That's my thing. My girl likes their quesadillas. I highly recommend this place.

The tacos are sooo good! They're always made to order so they are hot and fresh every time. It's my favorite taco truck in Lexington and I come here everytime I am in town. Would highly recommend if you want good affordable tacos. Only caveat is that it is cash only so stop at an ATM before you go, if you are one who never carries cash on you.

Tripa tacos were good,also good service

Booooo! This place stinks orders six tacos order was confirmed by cashier when they handed off but was incorrect. Cook in the back did not realize I speak Spanish and I overhead how they left it out on purpose. Poor behavior all around. Asked for extra green sauce before we left, even though I had already asked when I orders so I have to assume they charged me for it he only handed me one. So total I had two sauce cups for six tacos and two big sandwiches. Thumbs Down! Tacos were extremely small and had very little meat. Will not be returning.

Tacos are good, I'm not a fan of how you order and whatnot but the food is solid. Sauces are good and the meat was tasty. Pretty well sized, just a solid truck.

This gem reminds of taco trucks in California. The real deal. The only downside is I should've bought more tacos.

Still a 100% solid experience. Street tacos and quesadillas and tortas ready in a flash. If this truck is not on your rotation, you're missing out. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

This place is packed regularly. It's a taco truck right outside of a liquor store. Many times the workers will come to your window and take your order, then they'll bring you, your order along with the sauce. Once finished, they'll come collect your plate and cash. It is only cash, so go to the atm before you come here. Everything is pipping hot and fresh to order. Friendly, fast and delicious service. I didn't get a chance to take pix of my food but best believe it was that yummy! Update 4 days later.... I went on a Wednesday night and the parking lot as always was super packed and the service wasn't as quick as they normally are, but still great food. I managed to get a photo of the tacos this time. I ordered 2 steak, 1 chicken, and1 tripa (intestines) all with an extra side of avocado. Everything was tasty and the green sauce always hits me as it's deliciously spicy but so good on these tacos. Definitely an authentic taco truck!

They have Jowls, Tongue, Tripe, Asada, Barbacoa, Pollo, Pork. They have the best torta. Their tacos are second to none. Both sauces have the heat. Best taco truck. Highest recommendation. Pro tip: they will take your order from your car. You don't have to get out if you don't want.

Delicious authentic tacos with friendly service. Food truck where sweet lady comes out and takes your order. The meats are well-seasoned and not dry. Lengua is always my go-to meat, but their barbacoa is money too. The tortillas are tasty and have a nice crispy to it as well. And the green salsa is honestly one of the best salsas I've had. Great flavor with mild heat. The red salsa has lots of heat so eat at your own risk! Overall, this food truck is a place I'm willing to make a drive for from the other side of Lexington. Highly recommend!

Some of the best tacos in Lexington at a very small and unassuming food trailer. Staff are also very friendly!

The steak and pork are amazing. At only $2 a taco these are the best. We ordered them for lunch at school. Quesadilla was large and loaded for only $6. Arrange for lunch or a dinner night. Delicious. Authentic.

El Buen Taco is in front of the Imperial Liquors on Village Dr. It should definitely be a go-to taco spot for anyone. They serve tacos and tortas with tacos under $2 and tortas around $6. I got one taco each of tripa, al pastor and carne asada. Tripa - best I've had, I like tripa to be crispy but still needs to be a little chewy, this was great with the (HOT, be warned) red sauce. Carne Asada - wasn't my favorite or best carne asada I've had, but on par with most Mexican places and trucks. It was much improved with the delicious, and mild, green sauce. Al Pastor - it isn't "del trompo" which is to say not cut from the stand up rotisserie also used to grill gyro meat. But it's marinated like normal al pastor and still good all the same. This one was nice with a mix of green and red sauces. Both sauces are great and have a nice smoky flavor as well. All in all El Buen Taco is very good! It's clean, with friendly service and awesome food. I highly recommend this taco truck!

Discovered this taco truck the other day and already went back for seconds. The food is delicious and service is amazing! You don't even have to get out of your car to order.

My favorite taco truck in town! They have great street tacos and their quesadillas are amazing

Purchased about 20 tacos for a small gathering and El Buen Taco completed the order in a short amount of time, and the tacos were not only very fresh, but incredibly delicious. Very reasonably priced, too. I highly recommend El Buen Taco, as it is now favorite place to go.

Good tacos, the gut ones are the best (for me), I liked the service, recommended!! But only cash

Best tacos around lex. Corn tortillas are not stopping with oil they're always cook fresh and they're always busy enough to make sure they have freshen up food. The green salsa to calm down a little on the spiciness it's just all spicy it doesn't have any flavor but other than that I highly recommend this place

Have passed by these trucks many times, and the aromas coming from them have been awesome! My nephew told me about them. So, last Saturday, we stopped at the one on Village. Of course, they always packed, so we got there placed our order. WOW! I had the chicken and steak tacos.....WOW! Quick, it tastes exactly how it smells, AWESOME! Give 'em a try.....you'll be pleased!

My boyfriend and I visited this taco truck for the first time this evening. Service was quick and polite. We got the pollo, barbacoa, and pastor tacos with all the fixings. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful. It came with a delicious green sauce that was very spicy. I will definitely come back again!

Do not eat here. This place has been on dirty dining 4 times for being filthy! !No handsoap for employees. Meat is kept at unsafe temperatures! Go eat elsewhere!
