Excellent Mexican food truck near FSU campus. Great value and flavor on the tacos with ample portion of meat on the tacos. The salsas are very flavorful and have a nice kick. Where can you find a huge portion of ceviche for $14 WITH avocados in this economy lol. Highly recommend!

Tried El Tio Mexicano today and was very impressed with the flavors, seasonings, portions. I like that I can mix and match. So I ordered 2 quesa-birria tacos, 1 street steak taco, 1 street chicken taco and their Mango drink. Everything was delicious.

Tallahassee’s Hidden Street Food Treasure
How do I count the ways I loved El Tio Taco? Let’s start with this— it became my go-to spot every single day I was in Tallahassee. If you’re looking for the best taco truck in North Florida, this is it. Hands down.
This road trip gem had me doubling back before I even left town. The street tacos are only $2.99 each, but don’t let the price fool you-—the flavor is bold, authentic, and unforgettable. Whether you’re craving carne asada, al pastor, or something veggie-forward, every bite is loaded with seasoning and heart.
The juice portions are massive, refreshing, and a great value. The guys working the truck in the afternoons are friendly, welcoming, and happy to make recommendations. You can tell they care about both the food and the people who show up.
Located just a short drive from FSU and the college area, this spot is perfect for students, locals, and travelers alike. The portions are hefty, the prices are fair, and the food hits every time.

We’re from Austin, TX but just happened to be in the area and that’s where our Google map took us to when we searched for best Mexican food in Tallahassee City. The food itself literally was so so good and in our opinion we think y’all food actually taste better than some of the Mexican restaurants in our town for sure. My husband and I ordered El Tio’s Specialty plate, both of our daughters ordered Street tacos and Chicken Tradational Quesadilla. The meats and everything so fresh, juicy and flavorful. Really recommend and we will stop by again for sure if we come to Tallahassee area again in the future. Y’all deserve 5 stars from us.

Amazing food!! We had some chorizo street tacos, Al Pastor burrito and quesadilla birria. Made our evening. We’re from San Antonio passing through and staying at an Airbnb nearby. This spot makes San Antonio tacos look like amateurs. Super friendly and the flavor was spot on! Totally worth the visit. If I am ever back in Tallahassee I’ll be back. We were mad that we didn’t order more cause it’s that delicious!!!

What a Hidden Gem . The food was top tier! My family and I were so happy and full. Everything tasted incredibly Fresh. They have mastered authentic Mexican food that comes with large portions for a good price. My burrito had so much meat in it and was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend!

This is easily one of my top three taco spots! I keep coming back to El Tio Mexicano whenever I’m craving some messy, flavorful, and juicy tacos.
This food truck consistently impresses me with amazing food at an unbeatable price. Honestly, their food rivals most of the Mexican restaurants I’ve tried.
However, during my last visit, the meat was a bit drier than usual—not sure what happened. But I’m still giving them five stars and hoping the food quality stays top-notch!
