As someone who has a powerful addiction to authentic street tacos, it's safe to say that I've experienced my fair share of them in my 37 years on this planet of ours.
Having said that, this humble li'l taco truck has yet to disappoint me. Bear in mind, I work the emissions testing station across the parking lot from the truck. I get their food for lunch like clockwork. And it. Is. Always. Excellent!
The tacos themselves are humble as well. Some places are closer to tapas than street tacos, (tapas is to street tacos like amuse-bouche is to appetizers) and often rely on oddball ingredients and unusual toppings to justify charging sit-down restaurant prices for street vendor fare... Like a hipster-ized version of what used to be something great...
This is the opposite of those places. The only toppings on the tacos here will be a sprinkling of cilantro and diced onion. That's it - because that's all you need! The fillings, steeped in simple authenticity, speak for themselves. Whether you get pastor, carnitas, asada, or pollo... the main flavor you will get when you take a bite is ...(gasp!) THE MEAT!
Every order is accompanied by their red and green salsas. They aren't overpowering, but rather they help to accent and complement the pure and straightforward taste of the meat. If anything, use them as a moisture balancing binder to keep little bits from attempting to escape as you destroy these babies with a vengeance!
One of the best parts is the pricing: tacos are right at about $2 a pop (you don't have to get the listed amount of 4, get however many you can take on... Then order one more on top of that. Trust me.) For post-pandemic inflation world, that's a damn good deal!
Do yourself a flavor (yes, pun intended) and swing by if you are hungry and are in the Towne Lake area. If there's a line, stick it out. It's worth it. I can assure you of that!
(Important side note: they are cash only. No credit...

Okay this place is amazing! The food is authentic and homemade with flavors that will excite your taste buds with every bite. My wife and my favorite dish here are the steak tacos or carne asada tacos. Simply flavorful and the price is fantastic. Each taco comes with two corn tortillas stuffed with steak and sprinkled with onions and cheese.
I usually get the Asada Taco Plate which includes two tacos, refried beans, rice and this spicy salad of marinated carrots, onions and jalapeños and a lime. They also have two types of sauce that come with your taco plate.
For $15.00, as of this review, my wife and I both get the Asada Taco Plate and that also includes a nice gratuity.
The El Don Tacos Truck is located in the Valero Gas Station parking lot. There are very few picnic tables on the property, so like most people who eat there we eat in our vehicle. To us that's no big deal.
The big deal is the flavor, the value and the best carne asada tacos in...
Read moreI have been going to this taco truck for over 2 years and I always loved it, until recently.. The prices have gone up significantly and the quality of this food has dropped as fast as the prices raised. I got 2 burritos today and they might as well have been from taco bell. The amount of grease that these burritos produced was truly a sight! Also, when I was leaving the truck I noticed the health reports are now posted in the window. This is not a good sign, and I have eaten there so many times and never had a problem. The score is a 75, and that is a tough score to get. You literally have to do everything wrong, and judging the way my stomach feels, that 75 feels right.. Thank you for all the good experiences in the past, but I think its time to start the hunt for a new Mexican place that won't destroy me...
