Have eaten here several times with my S/O throughout the pandemic but have never wrote a review - decided we'd go back after several months and see if it held up!
Ordered Carnitas, Asada and Chorizo street tacos and an order of Nachos. First and foremost, the presentation is amazing! Always smells delicious and looks delicious and definitely not disappointed in the taste department.
Fully recommend the nachos - we had never had them before and they were ridiculously good with the asada and crema mixed together. Arguably some of the best nachos we've ever had.
The street tacos in order of tastiness: Chorizo - Asada - Carnitas. Chorizo is the sleeper here at Alamilla's and was very happy to see it still held up several months later. Asada is high tier for the greater Salem area and arguably the best taco truck Asada in this area. Carnitas was good but wasn't anything to write home about.
All in all, can definitively say that Alamilla's Taqueria is one of the best taco trucks in the greater Salem/Keizer area and would highly highly recommend to go try, especially the...
Read moreAnother surprisingly good taco truck in Oregon. I chose this place because of the good reviews and when I rolled up I saw it was just a truck with a couple plastic tables and blaring banda music. I thought to myself, meh nothing special here. We were greeted by a super friendly guy waiting to make us some of the best food truck fare. I am a sucker for asada fries so I got those. My wife got chiles rellenos (I was super skeptical about getting this dish from a truck). Turns out that both of them were great. In fact I think the chile relleno was better than the asada fries. The chile was substantial, the breading was just right and the cheese was melted and not grainy or old tasting. The asada fries were good but not the best I've ever had. I really liked the asada, there was lots of it and it was cut a little larger which is a sign that they are not trying to hide poor quality. Also had a carnitas taco which was very good and well priced. If I'm there again, I may just get a bunch of tacos. $2/ taco is a...
Read moreThis is hands down my favorite spot to get takeout right now! The food is always SO GOOD! It's hot, it's fresh, it's flavorful, it's never soggy or bland, and the prices are on point. They listen to my special requests of no cilantro, and extra jalapenos and onions. They are super flexible and always make my food exactly how I want it. I just love them!! The lady at the counter always remembers me and knows I hate cilantro haha! My favorite meal to get right now is the carnitas fries, that's what's in the pictures. DON'T SLEEP ON THE CARNITAS! I know people usually want carne asada from Mexican food trucks, which is great too, but their pork is sooo tasty. Even my little one year old baby eats...
