Sometimes it seems cliche to give a place a perfect score... you might have had a good meal, but maybe it could have been better. The staff were nice, but that is their job, no? I have been thinking about what I wanted to say about Taqueria El Serranito... I guess we'll get the easy stuff out of the way: the food was amazing (I had a pastor quesadilla and my wife had 2 bisteck and some charro beans), the family that runs this place were super nice and welcoming (seriously, thank you so much for being so great), and I will be making trips back here as often as I can. Now to be a bit more in-depth, the pastor took me back to my time in Mexico... it was top-notch. For $8, the grande quesadilla was extremely filling and it hit the spot, and the salsa that came with the tacos complimented it perfectly. As for my wife's order, In her own words, "I have not had good charros since leaving Corpus Christi" and she was eager to try them. Once we got our food, she opened up the beans and smelled them, and then proceeded to make everyone else in our group smell them, as well. She drank the beans in the parking lot before we walked off and immediately wanted more... they were perfect. Once we got to sit down, she was all over the bistek and thought that 2 maiz tacos were filling, but they were also so good she wanted a third. Before we left, we both agreed that we need to come back... I want to try the whole menu... and based on what Marco said, i'll be getting burrito next. Thank you, again, Brenda and Marco for making our group for welcome, and we hope your Mom has all the success in the world. We will definitely be back.

I am a picky eater so I look at reviews before even trying anything new. And this taco truck had a few reviews but they were all good. So I gave them a try. I was not disappointed. I got 2 fajita tacos and my husband got 2 bistec tacos en harina. Mine came with lettuce cheese and avocado. And my husbands came with onions and cilantro. The salsa just made them taste even better. We also got an horchata and it was so delicious. I think this is one of the best taco trucks
