Smokin Gringos

I really enjoyed the food. Smoked Brisket nachos with queso were amazing. Chicken quesadilla was the best in town. Highly recommended. I can’t wait to find this food truck again and grab some delicious food.

Great tacos. They put a special flare on Mexican. Don’t expect authentic Mexican, but more of a southwestern cuisine. Standard flour tortillas and great tasting meats. Chicken tacos are where it’s at. Burritos are big and sloppy. Love.

I love Smokin’ Gringos! The food is always fast and delicious. The service is great and the prices are pretty cheap for such good food. Best food I’ve tasted in Mobile so far.

It’s no San Diego taco truck, but I’ll go ahead and give them 4 stars, being that this is Mobile’s ONLY taco truck (that I know of). But I personally think they could be a bit better. I finally saw them set up for lunch at Water and St. Louis Street one Friday afternoon, and decided to give them a try. Their menu board was perched on a table, leaning against the truck. About 10 patrons were already in line, waiting for their orders.
The guy in the window was pretty friendly and took my order for a steak soft taco, with a side of guac and chips. Total was $ 7. No drink. The wait was about 10 minutes, and when I opened the styrofoam container to check my order before heading back to my car, I was a bit disappointed. The $ 2 side of guac and chips was a very small handful of corn chips, with a small container of guac, about the size of a dressing-​on-​the-​side. The soft taco itself was laid already open for inspection, and while I appreciate the use of spinach instead of the typical mound of iceberg, the actual amount of remaining ingredients, particularly the steak, was a bit lacking. The soft flour tortilla had been given some time on the grill, as evidenced by the char, which gave it a nice flavor. The steak seemed to have been marinated and seared well, and was tasty. I just wished there was more of it.
They have a website:
It seems they are at Dauphin & Royal on Tues & Thur for lunch, at Taste on Old Shell for dinners on Wed, and at Water St & St. Louis on Fri for lunch.
Pros: Convenient, Friendly Service, Who doesn’t love the idea of a taco truck
Cons: Bit pricey for what you get (you kind of expect a taco truck to be cheapcheapcheap and large, tasty portions) and meat amounts could be more
Overall: I’m not writing them off yet, I’ll try a few more items and make a conclusion. This may be just an occasional treat instead of a weekly thing.
