"With its prime location steps from the West Alabama Ice House and a mouthwatering menu of $3 tacos, this iconic cash-only taco truck is one of the best ways to get the most bang for your (literal) buck. Order a few al pastor and chicharron tacos, or splurge on a $5 torta." - Sean Hekmat, Megha McSwain, Eater Staff
"Tacos Tierra Caliente, also known as That Taco Truck Next To West Alabama Ice House, feeds everyone from icehouse patrons grabbing a cold beer to anyone who needs a taco or two after 10pm on the weekends. Between the seared corn tortillas, mountain of cilantro and onion, and spicy salsa verde, Tierra Caliente has built a reliable reputation as a solid Montrose taco truck, as well as the best (and closest) spot to grab a handheld snack between rounds of corn hole on West Alabama’s patio. Bring cash and choose between griddled fillings like fajita, pastor, barbacoa, and chicharron." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Possibly one of the most popular taco trucks in the city, Tacos Tierra Caliente has been serving tacos in Montrose for over 20 years largely within or next to the infamous West Alabama Ice House, and sometimes with a new look. What stays the same, though, is its over-stuffed breakfast tacos, deliciously tender barbacoa, and tacos filled with al pastor, fajita, pollo, and even chicharron — all of which are known to attract award-winning chefs, tattoo and graffiti artists, doctors, strippers, educators, musicians, media personalities, and everything in between. Pro tip: ask for avocado on your tacos de barbacoa. It’s a must." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
