Reviews
The food is the main reason to come here , and it consistently impresses. The tacos are packed with flavor, generous portions of meat, and topped with fresh cilantro, onions, and house-made salsas. The tortillas are made fresh, right in front of you, which makes a huge difference in both taste and texture. Standout items include the birria and quesabirria tacos , which are rich, savory, and perfectly paired with the dipping consommé. The fried fish tacos are also excellent crispy, well-seasoned, and balanced nicely with fresh toppings.
Another highlight is the salsas and drinks . The red sauce has real heat (use sparingly if you’re not a spice lover), while the green salsa adds great flavor without overpowering the food. The horchata and aguas frescas are refreshing, clearly house-made, and some of the best you’ll find at any food truck in town. Portions are satisfying, and prices are fair for the quality and freshness you’re getting.
Service is friendly and welcoming , and you can tell the owners and staff genuinely care about the food they put out. Orders are usually prepared quickly, even when it’s busy, and customization is often accommodated without issue. That said, like most popular food trucks, mistakes can occasionally happen during peak hours, and the wait can stretch a bit when there’s a crowd but the food is almost always worth it.
Where it falls just short of five stars comes down to consistency and setting. While most visits are excellent, there can be small variations in seasoning or portion size depending on timing. The location itself is a typical food truck setup simple seating, limited cover, and not much atmosphere so this isn’t the place you come for comfort or ambiance. It’s about the food, plain and simple.
Overall, Taqueria El Calentanos is a must-visit for taco lovers and anyone craving authentic Mexican street food in Tallahassee. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and genuine hospitality make it stand out among local food trucks.

People who work there are very friendly, warm and welcoming!!! I went there with my request to have hard shell vegetarian tacos so I had to explain in my broken spanish to make us some hard shell veggie tacos with some rice and beans in them and they packed a solid flavor in those tacos that I have been looking for ever since!! (Refer to the picture on how amazing they look and they tasted even more amazing)
100% recommended to anyone who wants to visit!! Worth the drive and also very affordable!!
Lets all come together and help these hard-working people who come in this nation with a dream to serve us some delicious and authentic mexican cuisine!!
