Tacos Marlene

Their tortas al pastor are my favorite thing on the menu. The tacos aren’t that great – go to Tacos Junior or Los Carboncitos for those. Nice selection of salsas to take home with your order. It’s a food cart so don’t plan on eating there!

I fully intended to eat here on a recent crosstown trip, but unfortunately forgot a prime consideration of many authentic taquerias: this place is run out of a food truck in front of the actual property (not inside the actual building that they own? puzzled about that…) and they take CASH ONLY. A little heartbroken to find that out but it is what it is. I’m forearmed for next time, hope this note helps some people out too. They do offer a pretty limited menu, but as mentioned in another review, they do offer 4 tacos for $ 7 with grilled meats of many varieties — buche, trompa, carnitas, adobada, and others; with copious fixings in big plastic containers just to the right of grill central; the workers there do have friendly attitudes and enthusiasm — I could tell from the way they threw half my order on the grill before I panickedly asked them «Do you guys take credit cards?» If I hadn’t been on mass transit that day, I would have gladly driven to an ATM and supported their business… I look forward to coming back with cash and being able to sample their creations.

Recent visit: Still awesome! Four huge tacos for 7 bucks. This time I had carnitas. So juicy and the flavors were great.
