Tacos El Calentano

Tasty tacos, well prepared, with fresh ingredients and reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back.

wonderful people running a decent food truck. more seating is actually available outside by the back of the gas station. my favorite is al pastor tacos fast service and they have taco Tuesdays ! always great people.. I recently tried the fried enchiladas! u can park in the gas station to access the truck. drinks r purchased from the gas station

No-frill, really good taco truck with good price. Juicy, nicely flavored meats, great tomatillo sauce, crispy tortillas, and really good flavor all around. Probably the best in the area, and we have eaten a lot around here (save your money by not going to chido taco). Haven't had anything under average so far. They serve breakfast menu from 6 - 10am, and normal menu from 10am-closed. Also, don't shy away from their specials, which unfortunately weren't listed on their website (likewise with breakfast menu). Just go there to order directly, the waiting time is very short. We've tried all of their tacos, huaraches, torta el Calentano, and will try the breakfast soon. They have a small cozy seating area behind the truck.

Best tacos in Cary! Wonderful food made by wonderful folks. Check them out at the corner of High House and Old Apex.

Tried this taco truck while visiting Cary. It is located right next to a gas station. We tried tacos, quesadillas and gorditas. Carne assda tacos, tacos de chicharron and gorditas were good. Quesadillas are overpriced. We also tried jamaica (hibiscus) water and it was good. Service is a little slow but everyone was polite.

EVERYONE!! PLEASE GO AND CHECK OUT EL CALENTANO at 832 OLD APEX RD., CARY, NC, 27513! THE ASADA TACOS ARE SO... FLAVORFUL!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! GOD BLESS..

We ordered tacos to be catered for a birthday party and we could not be more thankful that we did! It was the highlight of the party, everyone raved about how good the tacos and salsas were. The tacos arrived warm with all the toppings on the side. We will definitely be back for more. Excellent customer service as well! Special shout-out to Miguel for helping accommodate our request!

Hidden gem for tacos and tortas! The carne asada and the al pastor are my go tos right now. Can’t wait to explore the rest of the menu!

I frequently pass this taco truck on my commute and finally got to try it out. It's always parked next to this gas station and from what I can tell, never leaves lol. I've only had the tacos here and they're delicious! Each taco is about $3-$3.50 each depending on the protein. On Taco Tuesdays, they're $2 each for a generous serving of meat, topped with cilantro, onions, and radish on a corn tortilla. Love that they offer one of my favorite taco proteins, cabeza, alongside your classic Al pastor, pollo, barbacoa, carnitas, asada, etc. Service is quick and the owner/employees are super friendly. They have a couple picnic tables nearby to eat at with a covering in case of rain. Love this little truck!

This place is meh at best. Went there today and found a very limited selection of tacos, with very small portions. If you are in range of the trucks in the Apex/Williams street area (Pacos Tacos, or the trucks near Compare foods), this place is not worth a visit. Prices are the same, smaller portions, smaller sauce cups. I asked for some asada onions and they gave me a minuscule portion (for three tacos.) Most places double up on the tortillas ('cause they break), but not this place ... I'd avoid this place. PS. There is no "Taco Tuesday" $2 deal that I could find either (saw someone else commented on that when I started to write this review.) The portion sizes are definitely $2 taco sizes though.

This food truck used to be great. Friendly people, good food, good value. BUT in early September 2023 I went there and it was...just strange...the woman didn't make normal eye contact and handed me a phone to order from a guy she called. Then she charges me $18 plus tax for a single chicken burrito with no salsa. That is waaaaay too much for one burrito!

The man at the front was incredibly sweet. The taco de pollo was amazing for a quick snack!

The owner was very nice and the food was great! Quick service and a nice shady place to sit outside the truck.
