"The James Beard Foundation broke the mold when it nominated the father-and-daughter team of Luis and Berenice Medina as Best Chef Southwest semi-finalists in 2023. The duo, hailing from Chihuahua, Mexico, operate one of the city’s favorite food trucks where Luis plies his decades of experience as a hot dog cart operator and Berenice leverages her Le Cordon Bleu degree. The dishes, served on paper plates, pack in flavor rather than pomp. For breakfast, larger than life Luis Mix breakfast burritos pack in chorizo, bacon, and polish sausage with eggs, potatoes, green chile, and cheese. Come lunch, the al pastor (marinated pork in adobo with pineapple) and adobada (marinated pork in chile adobo sauce) tacos are rich and savory, and the house-made green chile sauce with jalapeños and cilantro complements any order." - Ashley M.

The Medina family at El Chile Toreado is absolutely the best! They treat you like family, always making you feel welcomed and right at home. The warmth and hospitality they offer are unmatched. And the food? It's world-class! I honestly wish I could take them with me on all my travels, and don’t even get me started on the green salsa—it's so good I’d almost drink it if I could. If you haven’t been, do yourself a favor and go! Love Roy

This taco truck is worth the hype! Tried multiple different tacos and each one was amazing. During my 6 days in Santa Fe, I came to this truck twice and would go again if I am back in town.

I don’t even know how to express how good their breakfast burrito is! We got both the breakfast burrito and breakfast tacos veggie style, and the burrito is the winner by long and far. The tacos were ok but, I’m guessing, a lot better if you get meat. The burrito, however, was a life altering experience and I will be dreaming of it for months to come. The classic green and red sauces you get with it are some of the best I have ever had! I recommend asking for extra red sauce if you like things spicy. If you’re in Santa Fe, this is a must visit!

Got the breakfast burrito with the Luis mix (4 meats). I should have taken a picture before i started to eat it. This thing was massive. It was so good and had nice spice from the red chile. It was mostly meat, which I'm ok with, and not a lot of egg or papas. Definitely worth the $11 you pay for it. I want to come back for lunch sometime to try one of their hot dogs or adobada.

Amazing street tacos from this food truck in Santa Fe. I thought the service was quick and easy. I tried three of the pork tacos and they were each packed with tons of flavor. One of the best carnitas tacos I’ve ever had, so juicy and tender. The al pastor had chunks of pineapple and onions that were marinated with the pork which is different from other al pastors I’ve had, but I like it. And the adobada had a good smokiness to it. The salsas were red and green Chile in true New Mexican fashion and were both perfect on every taco. Bonus points for self-serve garnishes and for having cabbage.

This is the best odd little taco spot we go to . We like the asada, but usually get it on a hot dog! Do try it. The veggie tacos with a side of bacon ends makes a great lunch too. Careful with what you order. Muy caliente! A great place. Nationally know. A local favorite. Be nice to these kind latin workers. They care about what they make. And you will too. So be polite a little patient and brush up on your spanish. Mine isn't great. But their food sure is!

SUCH AMAZING TACOS!!! A friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint. I shared an order of veggie vegetarian tacos with my spouse and it was the perfect amount of food for lunch. It came with green and red sauce and I found myself wanting to pour the green sauce right into my mouth. Top five tacos I've had in my life. Highly, highly recommend.

Great Breakfast Burrito! The Chili has just the right amount of spiciness (hot, but not unpleasant). I recommend the Louis meat breakfast burrito w/ the Christmas chili (red & green Chile). Only downside is they are a little expensive, but at least the are large. As always, Tell’em OuttaTownTony sent you!
