Tacos el Chicken Food Truck

The tacos and burritos are very good and nice owners. It is the best place in the neiborhood.

Order through door dash and got chicken enchiladas. Was so dry and spicy. I don’t mind spice but it was definitely too much especially when I never asked it to be. There was no sauce just overloaded with cheese on top. The beans looked stale and old I didn’t even wanna try that. The rice was so dry. Nothing tasted fresh or seasoned. Was very disappointed

The vegetarian tacos are absolutely fire. Avocado, delicious beans, rice, and the works. 3 for $10

Wowwwww You guys were so amazing!! And you have wonderful food!!

One taco had 2 whole bay leaves in them that I bit into. Meat is minced & not cut into whole pieces. It is a very fine shredded texture. Not much flavor, cheap with cucumber & forgot the onion & charge $4-$5 a taco when most places are $2.50-$3.50 for better quality & taste. Tacos El Bronco on 39th & 9th is way better.

If you are from Cali or the southwest, this IS your truck to go to. Sonoran style. Amazingly marinated and charred meats with grilled peppers and onions, lime etc. I had 3 tacos, carnitas, chorizo, and birria. All outstanding. The sopes were excellent too although i would have loved crema included. they tasted like a flour masa mix. I will be back!

The food is horrible and flavorless. And you can taste that something js either old or spoiled. It’s a waste of your money. This has got to be the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had and I try to have different Mexican food every week.

I love this truck. The birria consomme is better than Birrialandia in Williamsburg, in my honest opinion. The burritos are the right size and the tacos are flavorful and generously portioned. There are plenty of brick and mortar Mexican places in the neighborhood, but none compare to Tacos el Chicken.

Not bad! I think their name is hilarious, lol maybe it's cause Tacos el Pollo was already taken? Anyway, I ordered late night and wanted to try a taqueria on Doordash since I'm trying out dashpass. This spot has popped up a few times and their reviews were decent. Got a variety of meats like I usually do. Bistec, carnitas, chorizo, tilapia and Tinga. First things first, they're a good size. Each taco was around $3.50 I think. Nowadays, the prices for tacos continue to rise so, green flag for sure. I ate the Tinga first and it was good, just needed more meat. It was late though, so I'll give them The benefit of the doubt. The tilapia was alright, just lacking flavor, and because they put the tomatoes underneath the fish.. the taco basically fell apart. Carnitas was good, not the best I've had but good and that counts for a lot. I wasn't a fan of the chorizo, it wasn't bad but it wasn't my cup of tea. As you can see, it looked like any other sausage. When I'm eating chorizo, I want it to be obvious I'm eating chorizo. There was barely any spice which made sense considering its lack of color. Their bistec was probably my favorite. Like another one of go to taco spots, Lino's, their steak is more of a shredded beef than it is chunks. And I prefer it that way. Much more tender, much more flavorful. Very good. My only big qualm is more of a general one with taquerias in NY rather than just this one: WHY DONT YALL INCLUDE CEBOLLITAS WITH TACOS ANYMORE?!!?

Such authentically delicious tacos and rice & beans! AND they have birria? I can't say whether it's the best in town but I'm so glad I don't have to travel far and wide to find them anymore - it's right here in my own backyard. Recently I ordered birria tacos, suadero/beef brisket tacos, lengua/beef tongue tacos and rice & beans -- all sooo good. I can't believe I missed out on the al pastor but that's definitely happening next time. Price tags are pretty reasonable, ranging from $3-$5/taco. We skipped out on the consome for the birria because we actually had some left over from somewhere else (lmao slight birria obsession) but I'd recommend ordering it with the tacos. I came by a separate time just to order a few boxes of rice & beans for a potluck dinner. Tacos el Chicken is now one of my go-to spots!

There was a promotion going on grubhub and I decided to use it to try thus food truck. I tried their beef burrito/chicken tortas and they were authentic in taste, which I loved. The only downside was that they gave only 1 sauce for both items, which was not enough. Partly, I guess it is my fault that I didn't ask for a lot of sauce on special instruction. Otherwise, price is very reasonable and I would definitely try other foods here!

Well my local Mexican restaurant just lost a customer for good. This place got some mean tacos. I love their barbacoa if I spell it correctly. If not, it was delicious. At first I was opposed to their $3 to $4 taco because the restaurant is charging $2.5 each. Well one day about a year ago, I try it because I was lazy to walk the other direction and wait 30 minutes for taco at the Mexican restaurant. This truck gets your order ready in 10 minutes max. Usually around 5 minutes. There are pro and cons eating here. Pros. They are delicious and fresh everyday because everyone orders here. I felt bad for the Muslim community around the corner. Taco here is double shelves and the filling is a lot. They pack you tacos with meat and fish. My favorite will be tilapia and steam goat. I would order beef once in a while. Beside tacos, they serve various burritos and other dishes I am too afraid to venture out on. Maybe one day I would but the tacos will do the job for now. Cons. They should serve in paper container. Not sure if that more sustainable to the environment but definitely better than what they using now. Also you don't have to put every order in a plastic bag. One taco won't last that long to make it home. Sauce is a problem. They don't give much and sometime totally forgot to. I forgave you thou. Over all. These people works hard. I seem them here around 11 am to get parking and last til 10 or later at night. I am sure they were up much earlier to get my taco ready.

Updating my review because I found out today that the menu options are just suggestions. You can ask for vegetarian versions of all of the meat dishes; they just only list the vegetarian option for tacos. Speaking of which, the vegetarian tacos hit the trifecta of fast, cheap and good. You can phone in advance or order in person, it only takes a few minutes unless they're super busy. Vegetarian tacos are $3 each, and two is enough to make a meal for me. A meal for $6!! Pay cash or card. And they're tasty, and sturdy enough to eat with your hands (though you'll definitely need all of the napkins they give you). They don't use refried beans, so no lard. Yay! I'm happy that they can make tlacoyos with black beans instead of beef. Yum! Delicious. If you don't like spicy food, ask them to put the hot sauce on the side. And a great portion for $9. Next time I'll try the burrito.

The only real food truck in the area Tacos el Chicken provides great Mexican Street food not found in any of the typical Mexican restaurants. This place introduced me to a lot of Mexican dishes I was unfamiliar with. Sopes and Tlacoyo are really interesting since they have a doughy base which I was unfamiliar with. They also offer a variety of different meats like salted beef, and steamed goat which isn't an option in regular Mexican restaurants. The food itself is very good, with tender meat and good bases. It takes a little while for you to get your food if there is a enough people that already ordered (and in the winter it can be a little miserable to stand around waiting) but it is worth it for the quality of the food. If I have one complain its that sometimes the hours here are weird to me and the truck isn't open on days you expect them to be. I would highly recommend coming to this place if you like Mexican and you want to explore something more authentic.

the tripa taco has my heart and soul. the flavors that come out of this little truck is crazy! im currently hoarding the extra sauces i get in my order :-)

Twice I've had their al pastor tacos, birria tacos, and flautas. AL pastor is the way to go here! All tacos come with grilled onions and jalapeño garnish that I could have a whole bowlful of. Each taco has been full flavored, with excellently marinated and moist proteins, and considerable portions. The truck sits on the bend of the corner with pretty relaxed foot traffic and without a line. There are omnivore and few veggie options for take out and delivery. I recommend delivery as take out outside can get cold and sometimes service can be matter-of-fact. Delivery person was super kind and arrived in an efficient time with the food warmly served. Heads up: The flautas on menu say they are chicken, but they actually are chicken and then cheese, two of each with heaps of rice and beans. The rice & beans were delicious and not too salty, actually as tasty as the rest of the meal when beans can become the background sometimes at establishments like this. Also, Birria tacos are soft and without cheese but the meat quality has gorgeous structure and is bold comforting and tastes well made. If you're expected crispy tacos to dip with consommé, that's not available and there's no fixed price strangely. The salsa verde and roja each had a punch of spicy without being overwhelming. The smoky richness of the red salsa is memorablr and you're going to want extra. No lies... get extra! Overall, very good meals and prices aren't cheap but decent without being steep.

I pass by this truck pretty often since it's only a few blocks away from my apartment. Since I've always been terrified to eat from food trucks, I wanted to make sure the food was edible first. Since there was only 1 other Yelp review, I decided to look around Facebook for some more reviews. Thankfully, a bunch of members of the Kensington Facebook group had a lot to say. Reviews on the group page were better than expected. Most people mentioned that there is a line midday and out of about 30 people reviewing the truck, only a few of them had mildly negative things to say. I figured since nobody mentioned food poisoning or death, I was good to go. My girlfriend ordered chicken flautas. She said they were slightly dry and "pretty good but not the best I've ever had." I got beef tostadas which were very flavorful and moist but a bit salty. I would come back here if I was in a rush, but this food truck isn't my first choice.

I'm sorry but all these low reviews due to delivery lateness should be ignored. This is a taco truck peeps...you walk there, order, stand there till you get your food and either devour it right there or take it home. Look at their menu diversity, you don't even get that kinda options in taquerias. And their meats are legit good...the suadero, cecina, bistec, barbacoa hit the spot every time. Camarones are fresh. We at Kensington have been blessed recently with great Mexican options, but this truck stands with the top with their good quality tacos and options.

I like this truck a lot. It's the kind of authentic that if you don't speak Español it's not gonna be super smooth communication. You can order online, but you won't be able to customize simple things unless you're at the truck in person. Based on coming to the truck many a times, gringos mostly order chicken. I'm not an American gringo, so I like to try the other stuff. The reason for this post! Try some stuff that's not available at Taco Bell or Chipotle! Lolz I used mostly just get cecina (salty thin sliced beef) items and different roast porks. So now these guys added birria items to the menu. I asked and they tell me it's beef rib! So now they have this beef rib stew option for $5.00. I don't think you can find another food item in the neighborhood for $5 that will make you feel so satisfied. Comes in like a small to go coffee cup. *** so far you can only order this item in person. It's a side that costs more than a taco! The fat & nutrient content is pretty good, has some spice and even some chickpeas you can fling at your vegan friends. When I say spice... it's more than medium.

I live down the street and should have just done takeout but was being lazy. So I ended up ordering delivery from here last night and it took over an hour for them to come. I was shocked at the wait, considering I only ordered 3 tacos and an order of flautas, and at one point I thought they had forgotten about the order so I had to call them. I will say once the food arrived (everything cold) I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tacos were real flavorful. I ordered steak, chicken and shrimp. All three were bomb. The shrimp was my favorite. It was grilled and had a nice char around the edges. The cold flautas were tasty too. I will definitely be ordering from this place again. I just will have to do takeout instead.

Best tacos and burrito and tortas recommend it here enjoy ! A little pricey but great food

I wasn't very happy with this food truck and am not sure how it got a 4.5 star. But I feel that it could be my fault to why I was not satisfied. I ordered a burrito which was not on he menu. Do not get the burrito. It wasn't bad but I have had much better. Not 4.5 star worthy. We also ordered the nachos which were pretty solid. They are worth 4.5 stars and the sauce was pretty good. I would give them a 3.5 overall but that isn't an option. Was priced fairly nachos were great sauce was great burrito was very mediocre. I've had a salad from here before and the salad was overpriced but delish. I will probably be back as this is one of the better options in the area.

A great local Mexican truck, and I'm from LA. Legit food, including cemitas and birria.

So happy that this food truck is open late My husband and I got their shrimp with rice- beware it comes with a jalapeño which is very spicy. It also comes with beans which are good. I also had the tilapia platter before which was yummy. Everything is fresh- note that I pick I usually pick up the food.

Came here based on the reviews and didnt think it lived up to expectations. Ordered three different tacos. The chicken, steak, and carne asada. They do make homemade tortilla's but they were a little grainy and dry. Not bad but not the best i have had. The meat was flavorful but the hot sauce overpowered the tacos. Without the hot sauce it had decent flavor but i have had better.

Very big attitude problems. I would not recommend this taco truck. The food is fine for the area but its not worth the trip.

This truck is our go-to place for fast, delicious Mexican food. I don't know what we would do without it. Strong recommend.

Awesome mexican food truck! The ingredients are traditional and the food is authentic. This is my go to place when im in the mood for some good delicious mexican food. Highly recommended, the burrito de cecina, Tacos de carnita and the chicken quesadillas are awesome. Fast delivery

To my fellow Yelpers, I really wanted to like this place but I can't in good faith give this place even an average review. I saw this truck pop up out of nowhere near the Walgreens and heard some chatter about it and I had to give it a try. I'm regretful I did. I had a steak taco and chicken taco. The chicken was not seasoned at all. It was plain white chicken meat. The blandest taco I've ever eaten. At least it was juicy though. The steak taco had some flavor but was dry! And to add insult to injury this place is more expensive than your average taco joint/food truck. When you see this truck, keep walkin.

Short waiting time and good food! I love their chicken tacos and burritos!! I also like their torta Cubana

They had great food but they went out of business, un fortunately. Yummy taco is just up the block...they aren't great but it won't kill you.

I love this truck, especially the beef burrito and chalupas. Tacos are also amazing but i prefer the burrito for delivery which is what I usually get. It almost always arrives faster than expected.

My husband and I order from here almost once a week. The meat is super fresh and delivery is always on time and super convenient. I always get the al pastor and the barbacoa if they have it. Love these guys

Quick and tasty, one of the better food trucks, especially in Brooklyn. Classic, no-frills Mexican food prepared by friendly guys who know what they're doing. The salsas are spicy and tangy and the chorizo is tasty. A great option for an easy dinner.

Delicious, authentic Mexican food! They serve a variety of Mexican antojitos, such as tacos, burritos, tortas, tlacoyos, etc. I've only had the tacos so far, which are available in several varieties. I've had bistec, al pastor, pollo, enchilada, tinga, tilapia, and carnitas. They were all really good. The standouts to me are the tinga and enchilada, the former is shredded chicken in a savory sauce of some sort, and the latter is spiced pork. I come here whenever I get the chance. The food is so good!

Tasty food, fast and friendly service. Tacos are around $3 each and are very large portions. I usually get 2-3, and I like the steak and shrimp best. I'm so glad they're in the neighborhood!

It's a food truck. You have a bit of a wait especially if you're ordering a lot of stuff but the food is good and the tortillas are made fresh.

Hands down THE BEST Mexican food truck in my neighborhood and they deliver to me fairly quick I might add. It's nice to be able to stay in the comfort of your own home and order some good Mexican food. I have Mexican restaurants around me but they aren't as good as this food truck CRAZY RIGHT!? Not to mention they're very affordable.

Nothing beats thier burritos! They really have the best burrito in New York city, I'm convinced

My favorite Mexican in the neighborhood. Really nice guys and fast flavorful food. Try the tlacoyos, they are fantastic!

The best Mexican food in the area, unless you trek all the way to Cinco de Mayo. Chorizo and carnitas tacos are great. They remind me of California Mexican food more than any other place around. Nachos were also good, and the portion was massive. I wish they were open one more hour at night, but that's a minor grievance.

walk past this truck on the way to the train...always smelled awesome! Wife n I were having a leisure day, and decided to have a snack. her fish(tilapia) tacos were filled with the filet. She enjoyed them. I got the lengua tacos, which were just as tender as expected. The got sauce isn't "overpowering" if you know what tf you are doing. And the tortillas met and exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to try something different!

Consistently good. The torta milanesa is great as are the carnitas tacos. Thankful for this addition to the neighborhood.

Torta de milanesa! Think schnitzel sandwich but ten times better. These tortas are the real thing. These guys are also super fast, I've never waited more than ten minutes before my food is ready.

We have been ordering for pickup. They make things quickly. We have been trying different things, and they have yet to disappoint. Tried the Taco Tinga and Taco Carne Enchilada, they were well cooked, well spiced and delicious. Keep up the good work. The prices have remained reasonable and you can have a great meal for under $20.

Restaurant quality food from a truck. Their cecina bowl is cheap, filling, and tasty. If I ever get a chicken as a pet I'm naming it "Tacos" in honor of this place. And they're open until 11pm, later than most in the neighborhood.

I ordered online and waited for over an hour! When I called to ask the status of my order the guy gave me an attitude and said he had already delivered it and reassured me that I had received my food. When I told him I never received my food he changed his story and said I hadn't placed my order from them and that if I did they had not received it, meanwhile my food was already paid for. When I him I will look for the confirmation number he hung up on me. So I called back with my confirmation number and he told me to "please hold" for over 20 minutes as I can hear them working and taking other peoples orders in the background I ended up hanging up and had to cancel my order. Very disappointed! Won't be ordering from here again!

Best Mexican food I've eaten in NYC. Delicious meat, fresh ingredients. The tlacoyos are incredible.

Finally really good tacos on this side of Ocean pkwy! Tasty, authentic big portions. Great green salsa!
