I literally was craving some tacos and The service was amazing. I ordered 10 tacos with cheese and it was $20. That s amazing because tacos are super expensive now everything was fresh and I am very pleased will be back.

Its just ok. Average on flavor and serving size, high in price. A truck is supposed to be cheaper than a restaurant. Because you dont have to pay for rent on four walls, front door, air conditioning and blah blah blah... Most gas stations in H-Town have equally as average tacos for half the price.

This place use to be better. Theyre food is pretty good. They arent as good as they once were the last time I went. Ill give them another chance. It is by a pretty sitting area down on the Strand. Makes for a sweet, simple date.

It isnt a night out on the strand without a stop at Galveston Island Tacos. Skip the long line at whataburger and enjoy local cuisine. Staying open late is a huge life saver. Great food and great times.

The 5 mini tacos for $7 was honestly filling. Quality meats and he wasn t stingy with the toppings. The guy was super nice too. My wife said the chicken was kind of dry but we both loved the beef and pork options.

It was pretty good. I was hoping for the chilli oil consume with my tacos but they came with the beef Au Jus Sause instead. Still good though. Parking: Its a food truck. Youve got to get in where you fit in.

Taco truck for the win. Snagged me some chicken Mini Street Tacos. $6 for 5. Didnt wait long & it was SO GOOD!!! Definitely plan to hit this spot up when were on the island. Update!! Visited again when we came back to the island. Barria tacos were available this time. Oh & I also got beef mini tacos. It was awesome! & Perfect to fuel to walk the stand .... Or the food to keep you drinking. Large area to sit as you eat. Shaded & not. Kinda felt bad for the food truck next to this one. Guess no one cares much about wings & fries when... TACOS!!!

The most scrumptious Birro tacos I have ever tasted. Side note the only ones Ive ever had, and they set the bar high. It wasnt pricey a very affordable place along with good-sized portions. The chef was super friendly and polite.

Me and my partner really loved the tacos, the salsa was delicious and spicy. Very closely resembles tacos from Mexico. Perhaps just tone it down a little on the salt on the chicken. But other than that it s very very good. Highly recommend it. Also please try and use less plastic bags, most people just eat it on the bench and don t need bags. Thanks!
