noticed a new spot and discovered it was a newly relocated truck! spoke with the owner who was dripped in sweat and was discouraged about having to change his new location. A hard working man whos just trying to achieve his dream. Sad to say that on his first day there, I was his 6th customer by the afternoon. Despite all his hardships, he was beaming with pride for being open for 2 years (during COVID) and having the highest rated taco truck in Galveston. And ill be the one to say that his food reflects the ratings and all his hard work. The guy wasnt lying. Tacos were great and the value was good. Inflation is hard on businesses especially during covid but I am glad despite everything this place is still open is a feat of itself. Not as many selections of meat like I am used too back north towards houston, but their limited menu shows that they really make sure every taco is up to par. absolutely 0 complaints here. Galveston has been notorious for having overpriced food all while the being mediocre at best. This place beats both of those odds and im excited to come back. Please dont miss out on this place! its right on broadway next to the cemetery, cant miss it. Perfect place to grab a bite before you hit the beach and after. Support this hard working man and his dreams. Cant wait...

From the moment you approach the truck, you can smell the savory, sizzling goodness that draws you in. The tacos here are truly next-level—each bite bursts with flavor, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the fresh, crispy toppings.
I tried the al pastor and carnitas tacos, and both were absolutely delicious. The al pastor had the perfect balance of smoky and sweet, while the carnitas were tender and full of rich, savory flavors. The tortillas are fresh and soft, and the salsas range from mild to fiery, offering the perfect kick without overwhelming the taste.
The service is quick and friendly, and you can tell the team behind the truck truly cares about the quality of the food they serve. Whether you're a taco connoisseur or a first-time visitor, Taqueria El Jardin Tropical will not disappoint. I can’t...
Read moreMy family visited Galveston this week and we came to this taco truck on our last night. This was hands down one of the tastiest meals we've had in TX this week. The owner, Javier, was there and he is very kind and wants to make sure you are enjoying everything. The tacos were excellent. We each ordered 4 different tacos to sample: 1) beef fajitas, 2) cochinita pibil, 3) pollo, and 4) barbacoa. My wife also ordered a shrimp taco for herself. Every single one was delicious, and we each had a different favorite. While we were there, another guy came to order some tacos and the owner recognized him. We heard him ask, "Were you here earlier?" and the guy said, "Yeah, I moved up to Virginia and they don't have tacos like this up there, and your barbacoa is the best." We're going to tell our relatives in Houston about this truck, so they share this with their friends. This...
