pgh taco truck

i ordered the chicken/bacon/cheddar/sriracha cream taco, which despite the truck’s ever-changing menu, is one of their consistent offerings. the tortillas were high quality and the combination of flavors was a good one. it was a little heavy on the cheese, but really, can you complain about too much cheese? chicken

great food and definitely worth the wait.
when i found out pgh taco truck was going to be near my house from 5-9pm i immediately made plans to go. i arrived at 5:15 and the window had not yet opened. there was a line of about 10 people. the first taco wasn't served until about 5:35. i got my taco around 6:15. while waiting in line i was slightly annoyed at the long wait however the fantastic food was well worth the wait! i had the chorizo taco which was amazing. the spicy jerk chicken taco was good but a little too spicy for my liking. my favorite was the thai peanut chicken. definitely will be back for more!

amazing tacos. great guys. and totally worth the wait!!

good food, very long wait. i really was excited to see the truck at wqed as i drove by. the food is delicious, but i really think the wait needs to be addressed. people go to food trucks because it is supposed to be better tasting food (it definitely is), at a reasonable cost (pretty reasonable), and quick. i know people in line who waited an hour and a half and another person who waited two hours!

i just happened to stumble across these guys on twitter...and i'm glad i did. they were doing a saturday afternoon stop with a mac and cheese truck...and i had a fantastic afternoon.

first, a little disclaimer. i'm giving them a 4.5 instead of 5 because i only got one taco. i hate to judge a place solely on one item, so when i go back again and try other items, i might change my rating.

from what i can tell, they have a menu that changes daily (i believe based on what items they have). i tried the simple/basic beef verde taco. it was fantastic. the flavor of the meat was unreal...really something i've never had before. i would have and could have eaten many, many more of those, and i'm sure the others were delicious as well. and, it appears they always have at least one vegetarian option, which is a great thing as well.

however, this brings me to my only complaint. all the tacos were $4 (the fish one was $5). i was hoping for that price, it would be a little larger than your normal street taco. it was not. i know it's a truck and they pay for local ingredients, but the price was a little high (go to mexico and get a local street taco...you could get the better part of a meal for $4).

the good news...unlike most small restaurants in the pittsburgh area, they do take credit card here. so you can stock up on the tacos and not worry about carrying cash.

overall...definitely worth a trip. i'll be going back and trying more. i wish the prices were a little less, but i know that's not going to change. if it was cheaper, i'd chase them down several times a week...but even with the $4 price tag per taco, i'll still be back again and again.

i did go back again and enjoyed it just as much the 2nd time. got the spicy jerk chicken and pork chorizo tacos. both were delicious and spicy, which i loved.

i'm still leaving the rating at 4.5 solely because of the price...at least for now. the food is really good and eventually, it may change my mind about the money side of things.

everything is always made with the best ingredients and the menu, while constantly changing, is always happenin'! favorites are jerk chicken with avocado cream and anytime i can get siracha sour cream is a good thing.

we eat here more than i care to admit. the thai peanut taco and the vegan chorizo are especially good. staff is always friendly and the only drawback is the line can be quite long at the roundups.

when i was playing at a pittsburgh pinball tournament at an establishment that did not serve food while very hungry, i was not as thrilled as everyone else when someone ran in and announced, "hey! the taco truck is here!".  knowing that i was going to eat somewhere else later on, i eventually ventured out and got one taco...the spicy jerk chicken...you know: just something to "hold me over". bottom line?  i should have gotten three of these things and skipped the restaurant i ate at later in the evening! absolutely one of the best tasting things i have ever put in to my mouth! don't let the "food truck" image keep you from enjoying some of the finest food anywhere around pittsburgh...

best taco in the world. the best ! i might be addicted to tacos

taco

best food truck ever. has a wonderful and eclectic selection of delicious food to go. superb multicultural offerings drawing on american, mexican and asian influences. even sports a solar powered refrigerator and led lights.

i'm craving more. the tacos are awesome. i've been following pgh taco truck on social media for a while now but can never seem to catch up with them. last weekend, i finally got to try them at the mt. lebanon art fair. they were well worth the wait. we tried the chorizo taco and the jerk chicken. both we so flavorful, fresh, and delicious. i can't wait to try more.

tasty tacos, friendly service. caught up with ptt @ the pittsburgh market. very good tacos. the chorizo taco was fabulous. the jerk chicken with an avocado cream sauce was good. the chicken had a nice smokey flavor with some spice.

tasty tacos, friendly service. james performs well! you can tell he has a passion for his food and truck. very good tacos and when not busy very friendly and fun to talk to. he makes some interesting tacos. tried two, the chicken with avocado cream was tasty with some nice flavor but the steak with gauc, onion and fresh cilantro was even better. tender and tasty pieces of steak with some nice flavor from the gauc. and cilantro.

most of the tacos are $4 or $5 and you get a loaded taco, worth every penny. the menu changes. check out the facebook page to see what is on the menu and the location.

very bland and tasteless. had it as part of a taco day provided at work and i don't know if they uses spices or not but the beef taco has a very bland taste to it where it pretty much tasted like i was just eating beef with a watery flavor to it. as if the meat was boiled in water to cook it. also meat in the taco i had was burnt pretty badly.

i will not be eating there again.

burghlove. i've had it a couple times. not bad but needs to change the menu up more. it's been around for probably well over a year now and i'm still seeing the same menu items and am now bored with it. now that there are many other trucks to try they will be getting my money.
