Times here: four with many more to come.
El Jarocho Express sells extremely tasty and legit tacos, served with flair. (Where flair = grilled onions & jalapenos, fresh radish). Massive 32oz drinks in styrofoam cups, try the mango agua fresca or horchata. Taco meats are fresh and they grill the tortillas, proper. They have cabeza (head) and lengua (beef tongue) which gets them extra points in my book. Also boasts Tortas and burritos, which I have yet to try.
*** CASH ONLY *** which burned me the first time I went. Also, as of September 29th 2015, they are closed Tuesday through Thursday. If you can catch them, you’re in luck. Easily bests the local self-​described Mexican joints nearby… they know who they are.

The best Mexican in town. I stop by, on average, twice a week. The meat is lean and healthy,.I’ve tried everything. You can’t go wrong, although I’m particularly fond of the Mulitas. I’ve always liked Mexican, but this is far superior to the restaurants in town.
If they don’t have tacos de lengua, it’s not real Mexican;)

Coming from California, being half Mexican and growing up on my mother’s authentic cooking I vouch for this place. I’ve tried Mexican restaurants in Columbia and have been continually disappointed. The meat isn’t ridden with fat like I’ve been served at other places. I’ve seen another taco truck on Unilocal,but haven’t had the chance to try that one. I found my go to place!

Not your tex-​mex tacos. This is the real deal! Selection is fun and authentic. My faves are buche, al pastor, and cabeza, but I’m more adventurous in my eating. They have plenty of meat selections that most sc people would consider «normal» too: pork, beef, and chicken. Burritos, sandwiches, and beef and chicken platters too. Great fresh fruit drinks as well (aguas frescas).

Love eating wether I’m hungry or full, I like the different selection of tacos and other items not on my local taco trucks. I’ve only had the pleasure to eat here only twice but I plan to come back with more money to buy all the tacos here !

I’ve been to this food truck several times already but only tried their tacos because I’m addicted to them. The tacos are always fresh, plentiful with meat and always delicious. Experiment with beef tongue, tripe or beef head tacos if you’re feeling adventurous.
