Street Taco Shack – Where Tacos Are King, and Grackles Rule the Lot

If you haven’t been to Street Taco Shack in Canton, you’re missing out on some of the best tacos this side of the Rio Grande. This little gem serves up fresh, flavorful food with all the right toppings, and the atmosphere is pure taco-truck magic—except you actually get to sit down without worrying about your chair sinking into the asphalt.

Now, let me tell you about my latest visit. The food was great, the service was fast, but the real entertainment? That came courtesy of a grackle, a puddle, and an unsuspecting tortilla.

So, there I was, enjoying my quesadilla, when I noticed a grackle eyeing me from the next table over. You know the type—those sneaky, glossy-feathered little con artists that look like they just finished plotting a heist. This one had big plans.

Just as I was about to take another bite, the wind caught an extra tortilla from my plate and sent it sailing off like a frisbee. It landed right in a puddle near the parking lot, which—if I’m being honest—was probably more of a small lake at that point. Before I could even react, the grackle dive-bombed in, snatched up that soggy tortilla, and flapped away like it had just pulled off the greatest crime in bird history.

I sat there, quesadilla in hand, watching this feathered outlaw disappear into the distance with his prize. And you know what? I respected it. That bird knew good food when it saw it.

Moral of the story? Street Taco Shack makes food so good that even the wildlife is trying to get in on the action. So, if you’re in Canton, swing by, grab some tacos (or a quesadilla), and maybe keep an eye on your tortillas—unless you’re feeling generous toward the local...

I pulled up to this unassuming little red shack known as the Street Taco Shack in Canton and let me tell you, don’t let the humble setup fool you. What it lacks in square footage, it more than makes up for in flavor and charm.

I ordered four tacos: two carnitas, one shredded steak, and one al pastor. The carnitas were so tender they practically whispered “thank you” as I took a bite. The shredded steak was juicy and rich, like a cowboy who hit oil, and the al pastor had a savory perfection to it with just enough kick to make me question my life choices but in the best way possible.

Each taco would typically be piled high with fresh cilantro, grilled or raw onions, melted monterey jack cheese, all hugged by a warm tortilla of your choosin. I personally asked for no onions and I also wanted the cilantro on the side. I control my own destiny. The tacos also came with some limes and salsa verde, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Now, onto the rice and beans. They were…..there. Let’s just say they showed up to the party but didn’t bring much personality. If the tacos were a mariachi band, the rice and beans were the guy in the corner making awkward eye contact. But hey, not everyone’s born to be the star.

Overall, this place is a must stop if you’re in the area. Just skip the rice and beans and double down on tacos. You’ll...

Beware! If you order a large order and don’t pre-calculate your total, it’s almost a guarantee you will get overcharged. Almost every time I have gone and placed a large order, I get overcharged.

My mum and I went there and I ordered before she got out of the car. We didn’t look like we were together. I was served by a woman who charged my individual order accurately. Then I walked away and my mum came and placed a larger order, and the same woman charged her an extra dollar on an item I had just ordered from her two minutes before! To add insult to injury, when my mum brought it up, she also argued with my mum about the cost being a dollar more than it was. The proper cost is right on the board outside, and she had just charged me the proper cost two minutes earlier! How could she possibly be unaware of the true cost of the item? It seemed like blatant dishonesty.

What keeps me going there? The fact that I calculate my costs beforehand and that their food is...
