El Sabor Oaxaqueno

One of many semi-permanent Mexican food trucks in the area, this one has a huge menu of offerings and their portions are huge. Staff is friendly, but doesn’t speak much English. Food was great. We bought it to go.

The food at El Sabor Oaxaqueño is really good — that’s the main reason for the rating. However, there are some serious service issues. The staff speaks only Spanish, so communication in English is very difficult and often confusing. The biggest problem is the wait time. They keep saying “15 minutes,” then another “15 minutes,” then “5 more minutes,” but in reality you end up waiting almost 55 minutes. It feels like the wait time is not communicated honestly. If you’re not in a rush and don’t mind waiting for good food, it might be worth it. But the service and time management definitely need improvement.

I come here ALL THE TIME & always tip at least $3-$5 for 3 steak tacos. That’s always what I order. Tonight I pulled up like I always do and have waited literally over an hour and it’s not busy at all. No one has come to take my order like they usually always do. They’ve walked right by my car at least 20 times and looked right at me only to ignore me. Terrible customer service and very rude. This is not the way a business should treat a regular customer whom might I add tips every single time 30 to 40% of the cost of my meal. They always come out to take my order while I sit in my car. I like the food but tonight was very disappointing to say the least. I will give them one more shot at my business to be fair because I know every business has a bad day.

I don’t mind a food truck and I was excited to try this place. I’m a bit disappointed, the tortillas on the quesabirria tacos was so thick and the consommé was all grease, it was so very oily. The meat was really good on the inside. I just ate that.

I ordered chicken enchiladas in green sauce, side Spanish rice. I got French fries and no rice. When I opened the box I could smell something sour from enchiladas. I cut into the enchiladas and immediately could smell that the chicken was bad. The chicken was cooked but smelled terrible 🤢 It was to late take it back they had closed. First time trying this food truck and won’t go back wasted my $

this place is a staple in Lexington, i tell all my friends about it, if you haven't ate here yet please try it! imo, very consistent, at least for the last 3 years...they have grown tremendously and not missed a beat. I've had almost everything on their menu at this point. Most recently the Tlayuda with al Pastor and it was so good. A nice patio to sit and enjoy your meal, and they have frutas and paletas now for dessert. sometimes it's mayhem in the parking lot, and 10 minute=25 but for me it has been worth it, every time.

It’s now $4 per taco if you get cheese added. Crazy price for a taco with cheese but food is good.

First time at this taco spot—and definitely our last. We found it through Facebook and thought it might be a hidden gem. Unfortunately, it was far from it. Service was terrible from the start. The cashier barely spoke English, was distracted on her phone while taking our order, and still managed to get it completely wrong. We ordered 4 asada, 2 barbacoa, 2 al pastor tacos, and a piña agua fresca. There’s a self-serve drink station on the far right, but the ice bucket had bugs floating in the water—totally unsanitary. It took around 30 minutes for our tacos to come out. Meanwhile, they were handing out the wrong orders to the wrong tables, which left everyone confused. When we told them there was a mix-up, no one came back to address it. After another 5–10 minutes, I had to go back up to the front. Instead of fixing the issue, the staff insisted we got the order wrong—without even confirming it with us properly. As someone who works in customer service, I was shocked at the lack of accountability or effort to make things right. Now for the food: bland, dry, and cold. Definitely not made to order, which is disappointing when it comes to tacos. From our party of six, it’s a unanimous no. Would not recommend.

Delicious! The birria tacos are the main thing I always purchase. Always hit the spot.

Food here is great. Only thing I wish is that they added more pineapples to their El Pastor. We have been here 3 times and the wait has not been bad at all. I recommend this taco truck. They are also open until 1am.

OMG!!! This truck needs a brick and mortar BAD!! We knew it was going to be good because the parking lot was over run. We had to park about a block away on the side of the street and walk to the truck. They had a few tables for sitting, and a couple of ladies that were providing full service. We ordered our tacos (carne asada and birria) and was told it would be about 15 minutes. It was more like 25 but with the amount of people there, I wasn't surprised. When we got home and dug in I swear I went to heaven! This was the best birria I've ever had! The tacos were huge! Loaded with beef! The broth was so robust and hot. I'm getting hungry thinking about it now. It was truly delicious

Street tacos are excellent! Highly recommend the Al Pastor and Asada. My wife and I have tried several street tacos places here in Lexington and this one definitely ranks #1 in our books. Also, the service is A+, very friendly staff.

Delicious tacos and so many options to choose from and try! The tacos were very flavorful and fresh! The salsa verde they serve on the side with the tacos is excellent as well! The service was very friendly and despite being behind a marathon gas station the ambiance is really great! Excited to come back again soon!

Handmade tortillas, I had the quesadilla campechana (steak and chorizo) was really good and it's a good size, I also ordered three tacos asada (steak) and barbacoa (shredded beef) I was mostly full with just the quesadilla, tacos were good my favorite one was the one of asada, the one of barbacoa didn't have much flavor. Prices were reasonable.
