Yayo’s O.m.g!

O.M.G. If you manage to catch this elusive taco truck, walk… NAY run to it and order yourself the fish tacos. I can’t really give an opinion on anything else on their menu other than these, since it’s the only thing I’ve tried. Every time I visit, I keep telling myself to explore the menu more, but I never do.
Yayo’s fish tacos are authentic So-​Cal style and feature crispy fried Mahi-​mahi, a cabbage and raisin slaw, and cheese crumbles. They are HEAVY on the cilantro –which I love– and come wrapped in their delicious corn tortillas.

Ugh. I am so so picky when it comes to Mexican food because, well, I’m Mexican and grew up in Southern California. I’ve tried Yayo’s on a couple of different occasions but have never really been impressed with their food. I’ve had the Cholula and Shrimp tacos but they just didn’t cut it for me. It just didn’t taste truly authentic and that’s what I value most when it comes to Mexican food.

Was at the amphitheater to watch a concert and saw the food truck, thoguht to give it a shot as it said Gourmet Mexican food.
Ordered a Cheese Quesadilla with chicken, they were quick to make it and did not take more than 7 minutes. Presentation was 5 stars but taste was 3 stars. The spicy sauce on the side just did not feel mexican at all, it tasted really weird.
people around said the tacos were great i would give that a shot next time.

I’ve been trying to track down Yayo’s O.M.G. for months now, and I finally found them at the Tomato Art Fest. Everything sounded great, but I settled on 1 Legend (brisket, chorizo, chicharron) and 1 Shrimp (fried shrimp and slaw). The folks who run this truck are incredibly friendly, which is always a good thing.
The Legend was extremely greasy, but also extremely tasty. The fatty chicharron was perfect! I also loved the fresh cilantro and the onions, which are both pretty much mandatory for street tacos. As for the Shrimp taco, I was rather astonished that they didn’t de-​tail the shrimp. The filling was also too massive for the small corn tortillas, necessitating a fork. Luckily for them, the flavors were awesome. It was slightly spicy and just a tad sweet. The batter on the shrimp was excellent, and there was a great crunchy texture.
Yayo’s flavors make up for the other shortcomings. I hope to try them again soon!

I was attending a work event nearby and was excited to test out some Nashville Street Food. Other trucks were crowded, so I picked this spot. The service was speedy and courteous. I chose the shrimp tacos. I was pleased with the service, but I was disappointed by the tacos. I asked for no onions but there were indeed onions which I picked off. Most strangely, the shrimp tacos included the tails of the shrimp. Maybe this is common? But I opted to remove the tails in order to eat. They were okay tacos. Small and not too exciting on the flavor scale. Sadly, would not recommend this truck. Looking forward to checking out other Nashville food trucks in the future.

As delicious as it was beautiful. I got the M&M (Basically a quesadilla that’s overflowing with cheese.) For $ 6 — a pretty decent deal. The prices on other items seem a little high (it seems they go for about $ 4 a taco) — but they do have really lovely presentation and the ingredients seem to be quality.
I’ll be hitting them up when they stop by again. :)

There is no 3.5 star, and I couldn’t, in good conscience, give them 4 stars. This food truck comes to my job from time to time. I think the chicken tacos were amazing, the M&M is delicious, and the Mexican soup (when they have it) is also fabulous. But I’ve also had some not so good things. The carnitas taco was dry and the meat was a bit hard in some places. And um… I’m posting a picture of the chorizo tacos. See for yourself!
I think that I wouldn’t be so annoyed if the price wasn’t so high. But they make their own tiny tortillas for the hit and miss tiny tacos. The hits are hits, But the misses are gross-​tacular.

Extremely solid. Not a bargain, but the two of us ordered a sampler of sorts. Shrimp tacos, mahi mahi and the legend. They go in that order for us. I would eat the shrimp everyday if available, the mahi from time to time and wouldn’t order the legend again. $ 30 for all that so not White Castle on the wallet, but fair enough for crazy good stuff.

This was so delicious! They came to my work for food truck day. I’m from Southern California and HAD to try the fish tacos. At first glance, I was nervous. When they said, «cole slaw» on a fish taco, I thought normal picnic cole slaw. No way! This is a lightly sweet cole slaw that perfectly complimented the flavor of the fish. The refried beans are tasty too — they taste like the real deal. I hope I see this truck again. Super friendly and tasty food!

This is my favorite Nashville food truck! I have had the M&M (mexican melt), legend tacos, and fish tacos. All 3 were great! I would say with this truck, stick with the specialty items and you won’t be disappointed.

Extremely bland tacos.
I ordered two of the chicken tacos with a side of the «hotter» hot sauce. The shredded chicken had no flavor and the hot sauce somehow didn’t have any flavor either. Not sure how that is possible, but Yayo’s managed to do it. I chose the chicken for cost reasons and that I didn’t want to spend $ 9.00 for two of the fish tacos. I’m glad I didn’t spend more because I would have been rather angry had I spent that much for blah tacos.
Mine were $ 5.00 so that was a bonus, but they were bland and left me hungry. Should’ve picked a different food truck.

I was in Nashville visiting and after watching this Amazing food truck on food networks eatstreet show I had to try them, and let me tell you OMG the food was nothing short from amazing. I started my food adventure by trying the shrimp tacos and let me tell you delifreakinglicious!!! the best tacos ive ever had and im from California! than i tried the Mexican melt because the lady in line next to me said «you dont want to leave Nashville until you try that melt» and thank God I listened bc after that EXPLOSION in my mouth again OMG was I sold, so with that being said Yayos omg gets my five star approval!!! and let me mention the staff and cleanliness and again another five star rating the girl that helped me was very nice and patient even though they had a line a mile long. And i gotta say this food truck was so clean I could literally eat off the floor and how do I know this well as I was eating these delicious treats another worker opended the door of yayos truck and all I could notice was the cleanliness that would even make Mr Clean proud. So next time im in Nashvillle my first pit stop will be Yayos omg!

So I wandered across this food truck at West End Park last Sunday. Seems like food trucks frequent this spot in nice weather. It was there with the Grilled Cheesierie, Urban wrappers, and an ice cream truck that wasn’t really marked.
I opted for Yayo’s and think I made a great choice. I ordered the Legend Taco’s a great choice. The food was excellent, great flavor in the meat, they added some fried pig skin (pork rinds) for some crunch, amazing. Cilantro, onions, and some other greens sitting on top some corn tortillas. The taste was on point.
I will say it seemed a bit expensive. $ 8.99 for just the two tacos and nothing else.
Service wasn’t real fast either. There wasn’t really any sort of line when I ordered and only one other person waiting on an order and it seemed like I was waiting awhile. I guess it’s not fast food but I just figured for a food truck it seems slow.
Despite where it trips up I think you will really enjoy their food.

The fish and shrimp tacos were delicious and extremely overpriced (they are TINY). The steak tacos were mediocre, expensive and tiny. Most places in town sell large fish tacos with sides for the same price. I only ate here that day except for a clif bar in the morning and later that evening I was throwing up for hours and felt miserable the next two days. Will never return.

Gourmet Mexican food!
Wanderland Urban Food Park has had trucks at Elmington Park on West End every weekend in February. We haven’t missed a single weekend. We usually come into Nashville on Saturday to run errands but we had to make a special trip on Sunday because that was the only day we could find this truck and we love mexican food.
We shared the legend tacos and quesadillas. The legend tacos were filled with brisket, chorizo, and this amazing sauce. The chicken quesadilla that was topped with crema fresca was more delicious than the tacos. If you are a mexican food lover then you should track down this truck for a real treat.

I have definitely jumped on the food truck bandwagon. So when my friend told me of a food truck round up at the Nashville farmer’s market, I knew we had to go.
The event was called «Meet & 3» and the concept was excellent. Live music, art for sale and food trucks. The execution, however was not so excellent. I expect that they did not anticipate as many people to show up. The lines for the food trucks were 50 people long. I’m all for waiting in line for good food, but once we put in our order at Yayo’s Omg, we had to wait another 35 minutes to get our food.
Good thing the tacos were yummy. I got the Legend and the Original (carnitas). The deal was 2 tacos for $ 5 or 3 for $ 7. If I had known we were going to wait over an hour for our food I would have ordered 3. But I was left hungry for more tacos by the time it was over.
Next time I’m in Nashville, I will be heading to the GrilledCheeserie. But «Meet & 3» was spent with good friends and good food.

I’ve eaten at Yayo’s O.m.g three times. The first two were really good experiences. I enjoyed the pueblo chicken tacos. Portion size they were good for me, I’m not a huge eater and portion control is key. The third time I had the Yayo bowl and I wasn’t that impressed. The flavors were off and eh, I feel like I could have made it myself. Overall, I like what this truck is about and I want to support it. When I go back, because I will, I am sticking to the tacos.

I have definitely jumped on board the recent food truck fad that has hit Nashville, and I can safely say that I hope it sticks around for a long time. That said, I have had Yayo’s O.M.G. on three occasions and thrice they have impressed me. There’s just something about a mobile «Gourmet» mexican food truck that sounds just so right. I mean really, think about it, most mexican joints are as likely to be serving you roadkill from a roach motel as they are mexican food. So, right off the bat there’s just something funny about a mexican food truck and throw in the «gourmet» and I had to try it.
The entrees that I have had, which are reasonably priced at around $ 7 to $ 8 each, were the Legend tacos, the veggie tacos (forgot their nifty name), and the equivalent of a quesadilla with chicken inside. All of the ingredients appeared fresh, tasted fresh, and are locally sourced (from what I understand). What can I say? I am a sucker for supporting local and small businesses.
In the world of food trucks, I find the wait at Yayo’s OMG to be a bit longer once your food has been ordered compared to several of the other food trucks: riff’s and The Grilled Cheeserie in particular. Even hossburgers seems to get you your goodies a bit faster. I mean the food at Yayo’s OMG is great but I just can’t stand the wait.
All and all, I’d eat there again — but not necessarily if other food trucks were around.

We searched out a few food trucks on our recent journey to Nashville. We found one that fit our tastes to a «t»… Gourmet and Mexican. We hit this truck up over at Yazoo and had dinner with some wine. I had one of their specials that night, shredded chicken in a fried corn tortilla cup (?). It was so good! The last time I had these flavors was in Mexico. You must check out this truck you won’t be disappointed!
PS. For those who are fearful of food trucks… They are super clean and are subject to health standards just like any restaurant, typically their score is posted for viewing. This might vary by state/​county but give it a shot, it’s all the rage!

I visited this food truck on Wednesday at noon at the Music Row location in Nashville. I didn’t know it was possible to have ‘Mexican’ and ‘Gourmet’ in the same sentence when describing a food truck, since I am so used to eating at rundown Mexican roach coaches, which interestingly get over 90+ scores on city inspections (maybe they actually scored 06 and taped the paper upside down, HA!).
I ordered three items: chicken quesadilla, legend taco, and steak taco (they don’t allow ordering just 1 taco). For $ 2.50 per taco, I was disappointed to see that they were so small. Again I am used to eating delicious tacos (same size) for $ 1. I tried the steak taco first. It was juicy, but the flavor was average/​mediocre. Nothing stood out, but it wasn’t bad either. So I thought to myself: not every item from one establishment has to be good.
I moved on to the legend taco, which consists of meats: brisket, chorizo, and chicharron. This taco was juicy and flavorful. Out of the three items I ordered, this was probably the best.
The chicken quesadilla was flat out disappointing. The chicken was utterly flavorless. I had to pile on the hot sauces to make up for it.
For a place that markets itself as a Mexican food truck, the meats remind me more of Puerto Rican flavor instead. Even then it was still disappointing, especially for the price. Pretty paint, colorful menus, and nice uniforms/​aprons don’t justify the quality to cost ratio here.
Chicken quesadilla + legend taco + azada taco = $ 12.07. And I was still left hungry (unusual, since a quesadilla and 1 taco usually fill me up). If I ordered two tacos and a quesadilla at a delicious roach coach, it would have been $ 6 total.
