Los Valedores Taco Truck — Restaurant in Homewood

Update 7/8/24 - if you want tlacoyos do NOT order them on Door Dash via Google! There is no meat selection menu for tlacoyos, there is no place to type special instructions or a comment, and the employees will just give you meatless tlacoyos (as though anyone would want to pay $10 for onion and bean sandwiches…).

I called to say there was no meat, they told me you have to pick a meat when you order. Again, there is nowhere to do that. I went back to pick up the asada, and the young man actually said he would have to charge me next time (for something I had already paid for, that’s interesting customer service; and as though I would repeat this awful online ordering experience). I had my 80-year old mother and 18-year old dog in the car, driving back was highly inconvenient. I tipped $10 for the asada because they made me feel so bad, insisting I could and should have typed the meat in the comments - I sincerely wish I had not tipped because when I got home, I entered a test order and there is absolutely NO space or option whatsoever to do that!!!! They were wrong, they didn’t say sorry for the inconvenience or disappointment, and I rewarded them for blaming me. If I were the owners I would encourage employees to kindly and patiently listen to customers. Mom and I were excited about lunch but it turned into an expensive hassle! She had never had tlacoyos before and was full by the time we got the steak and returned home :(

Original review: Absolutely delicious! My favorites are the al pastor tacos and asada tlacoyos, both are flavorful and not something I could make at home. Kind and fast service - don’t forget to tip! p.s., if you are blessed with leftovers the next morning, put them in your air fryer and serve with a fried egg or two on top and a side of black beans -...

I'm not the kind of guy that likes to eat the same thing twice in a row. I crave variety like it's sold on street corners, so believe it when I tell you this place is special. I've eaten the same dish for dinner twice in a row because it was just too good. (Cabeza burrito)

It's got mostly the options you'd expect from a Taco truck, but some that stand out as novel, too. I've had most anything on a Mexican restaurant menu before, but I've never had Tlacoyos before. They look like tacos with the tortillas fried, in the picture; trust me, I'm gonna try them soon. I mean, my girlfriend is the type to call black pepper spicy, and googles the ingredients before they'll eat them, and she STILL got the lengua! Twice!

Listen, I mean what is there to dislike about this place other than the parking? As of March 2024, it's situated near Maya, the Mexican restaurant on Oxmoor Rd, off Green Springs, in a lot that gets pretty crowded quick. An hour or less till closing and they're packed, so try to come a little earlier if you want to find parking.

They're lightning fast in that truck! I had my burrito in less than 10 minutes, and some of that time was us ordering. Incredible food, very friendly staff, and a mostly convenient location. You're making a terrible mistake if you don't come get you some....

Today, I discovered the beauty of a 2 taco plate. Doesn't seem like much, you say... Let me tell you....I walked back to my car tonight with the heaviest plate I could carry.

Food? Almost WAY TOO MUCH!!! Both of my tacos were loaded with meat, almost enough to make 2 more. Fresh lime, cilantro!!

I have to split this review into portions.... I'm so stuffed!

Now you ask about the taste???

Let me tell you, I have never had a taco this amazing... The secret: the first taco was great. The second one... OUTSTANDING!!!

In my better years, I traveled the Yucatan peninsula twice... Never had a taco like this. In my fatter years, I traveled the taco trucks of the south... Never had a taco like this.

Thank you to the entire staff!!! You helped me find food, comfort and love in many ways!! (Did I mention how happily stuffed I am?)

Any taco lover like myself..

THIS THIS IS THE ONLY TACO OPTION PERIOD!! (Despite being so full, I am man enough to admit that I licked my plate after I finished)

*I can't wait until my next payday (unless someone is inviting) 😉... I want to try the...
