Great presentation and always 100% satisfaction. I typically get the Pastor or Lengua tacos. Lately I’ve been adding rice and beans, it’s delicious!

This food truck tops the list for satisfying your taco craving. Their shredded chicken tostada was great, as were the tacos and salsas! I’ve been a few times and they are consistent.

This food is made with love! Delicious all around. The sauces are a little too spicy for my white self but I still love the tacos! I also grabbed a bag of Duros

Regular customer and I have nothing but great things to say. Portions are generous, flavor is robust, and price is more than reasonable. Very fast and friendly service. We are fortunate to have this family-owned business here in Alabaster. Customer service is excellent! Burritos, tacos, everything is great! Very consistent. You won’t be disappointed.

Hi I’m Max and I’m a taco addict. Tacos El Tio is my favorite al pastor taco I’ve ever had at any taco truck, Mexican restaurant or friends house period, of all time. The family that runs this truck are always sweet, kind and helpful. My go to is 8 tacos Al pastor, 4 guacamole cups, 4 crema cups and 4 pico cups, The orange habanero salsa, rice and beans. Happy camper for at least 2 days. Everything reheats really well in an oven in a foil wrap.
Update: still amazing, still friendly, still my favorite. Literally can’t pick something you won’t like.
Another update: so consistently good. It’s not worth going anywhere else if you want tacos at this point
Still amazing

My friends and I come here every time we’re here, and every time it’s amazing. My favorite is the quesabirrias they have on Fridays and Saturdays, and my friends like the carnitas

Some of the most bold tacos in the area, like a punch in the mouth of flavor. I like to eat them with a generous amount of salt. Our favorites are the Chorizo and Pastor, but the Asada, Carnitas, Camaron, Tripa (crispy intestines), and Suadero (tender beef breast) were good too. The tacos were super juicy, I didn’t even have to drink any water with my meal they were so juicy. Love it. The tacos are medium to large size. Two is generally enough for me, but if you are really hungry you may want more. 😉
They are served with large sauteed? sweet onions in addition to the raw diced onions, which adds a nice depth of flavor. They also come with some large peppers that I could not identify the variety. They were green, had a stringy inside, and long, similar to shishito peppers, but they were much spicier. I really liked them. You can also buy a small container of Pick de Gallo, which is very good as a mild substitute for their salsas. Their salsas are pretty warm, but they are not the spiciest around. But don’t get me wrong, the salsas had great flavor. The red salsa had a lot of veggies in it with some good depth. It honestly reminded me more of a chip dipping salsa than a taco salsa, but it was still really good on the tacos. The green salsa was tangy and sour, good as well. The yellow salsa is sweet and milder. If I was to offer any constructive criticism, it would be to improve the corn tortillas, I think they could be better, but I know it is tough to make good tortillas when you’re operating out of a truck. Overall, these are outstanding tacos for the area, and I’m planning to be coming back here for a long time.

I assumed this place would offer basic tacos since I always see it parked at Advance Auto Parts, so I bought 1 shrimp taco to try it. It was incredibly good! Beef and chicken tacos are $3 and all the other meats are $4. They also have burritos, quesadillas, and tostadas. I highly recommend this truck. The food is tasty and convenient.

Since moving to Alabaster I have been incredibly disappointed with the Mexican food in the area. I finally figured out I just need to go to the trucks in the area or to Pelham. This is by far my favorite little place to eat by me if I’m craving some tacos.

Decent food, they didn’t put the toppings on my taco as requested. Likely wouldn’t visit again.
