Mr. R. Tacos

Pleasantly surprised! Tried the beef soft taco to go. Loved the crisp soft shell. Good taste. Can’t wait to try something else soon.

I drove by this place for months. Old truck, dirty parking lot, dirty neighborhood. After reading reviews from other critics, I decided to stop. Now I eat there about once a week. Burritos are huge. Tacos are some of the best I’ve had. Have yet to get a meal that didn’t taste great. Friendly service, cheap and fast.

Great tacos! I ordered 3 flour tacos. One Pastor, One Asada and one chorizo. All were fantastic. They place the meat and cheese on the tortilla to melt the cheese a little bit before serving them. with a few radish slices and lime wedges, these are really good tacos! I can’t wait to go back!

I ordered tacos carne, pollo y pastor. They were out of cicharonnes but amazing none the less. The guy working was so nice and spoke perfect English. I found my new taco truck! Love it! Traditional Mexican and clean!

When we stumbled upon this hidden Jem years ago, we thought for sure we would die.
This is most certainly Not the case!
Love everything! Jalopenos, the sauces, spices, Lime and cilantro. BOOM!
It’s sketch but awesome.
Good eating.

Came down for a weekend to visit my parents. Wanted a quick lunch Cuban place was closed. Love authentic Mexican and heard about all the taco trucks in the area. Found mr. R on Unilocal.Ordered 3 types of tacos, carne asada, al pastor, and chorizo. They were authentic and delicious, not greasy at all, prices were killer, with courteous and quick service.

I drove to this location based on the # of stars. I was pretty surprised when I pulled up to find a food truck. No worries. The food was fantastic. I got 1 carnitas taco, 1 chicken taco and a chicken quesadilla. Outstanding. A tiny bit greasy but great flavor and as an earlier reviewer said. . No fat on the carnitas. Can’t wait to go back. Oh and the quesadilla was BIG.

Simply the best taco truck in an area with many taco trucks.

If you want a great authentic taco or burrito in south Manatee county then you need to go to MR. R. TACOS on 15^th street. My family and I love their food so much that we’ll drive from 20 miles east just to pickup three burritos & six tacos, that’s how good it is. If you like spicy, be sure he gives you their red sauce or green sauce for non-​spicy. Suggestion, take it back to work or home to eat it’s a little messy to eat in the car.
Enjoy, Brett B.

I made a visit to Mr. R yesterday for lunch. I ordered the cabasa (head) burrito. It was good but not my favorite, I am a fan of the pork. Next time I am going to try the tacos based on Coty S. review, can’t wait! Can I go tomorrow?

Over the last couple weeks I have had the chance to make visits to pretty much all of the Mexican food spots in Bradenton, as found here on Unilocal,as I have been finding the need to satisfy my Taco craving I have been having to deal with over the last few weeks. I am originally from California, and as far as I am concerned, the best Mexican food comes from there. That being said though I have been very satisfied with the food I have eaten. Mr. R Tacos would be a place to go if I was hungover and was in the mood for some greasy food. I got 2 steak and 2 chicken tacos, my usual order wherever I go, and I was very satisfied with the food that I actually ordered another steak taco, a little on the greasy side like I said, but everyonce in a while if I feel like being bad, Mr. R would be a good place to go.

There are so many good tacos in Bradenton, it is too bad that I am just now getting around to reviewing them. Mr. R. is located in the dirt lot to the left of a used car lot. Every taco lover in the area, which I have spoken to, claims that Acapulco Tropical Supermarket is the best for tacos. However, there is no reason to fear the truck. Especially when they have all of their licenses posted as well as their inspection information. Mr. R. Tacos is delicious, and their carnitas are better than Acapulco.
All of the tacos here are $ 1.25, which is some of the cheapest I have seen on a permanent menu. You can choose either flour or corn tortilla, corn being the more authentic choice. Choose the meat you want, and they add chopped onion and cilantro with a side of lime. The tortilla is about the size of your hand and contains about 4 ounces of meat (¼ lb). Most of the choices come with a side of hot red chili sauce, unless you order the chorizo, which is already seasoned.
My workmate ordered 3 Chorizo (chopped spiced pork sausage) tacos on Flour shells, and they also had a little melted cheese on top and came with some red and green hot peppers on the side. Perfectly greasy and a little salty.
I ordered 2 Chicken on Corn Tortilla, and 2 Carnitas on Corn Tortilla. The chicken was mostly white meat, and was finely shredded. These did not have much oil at all and tasted very healthy with the red chili sauce added. The Carnitas were amazing, and were steamed long enough that all of the fat melted away leaving just the tender meat. Carnitas will usually leave you with large globs of fat to chew on, but there was nothing like that from Mr. R. The cilantro and lime were perfect and so was the hot chili sauce. I washed it down with a Pinapple Jarritos soda.
This truck is here everyday. It is even on the goggle street view when you Google the address. They also have nachos, tortas, burritos, and I even think I saw hamburgers on the menu. Check it out!
Of course, they are cash only.
