  This is my favorite taco truck in Bakersfield.  I consider it the original (O.G.) Bakersfield taco truck.  Over the years, taco trucks have popped up everywhere.  This one is still the best in town in my opinion.  They also have a building restaurant at a different location.  I think the truck's food is fresher and better.  I usually get the asada burrito with everything.  The tacos here are really good too.  The quality of the asada is consistently good.  No nasty fat or gristle in the meat and the flavor is great.  This is a huge problem that I encounter with other taco places/trucks.  The other ingredients (rice, beans) also taste fresh.
  
  The area where this truck is located has gotten worse over the years due to the high volume of homeless people and the nearby seedy motel.  I just get my food to go and get out of there quickly.  As of today's date 05-23-19, the price of an asada burrito is $8.32.  Thats with tax and everything.  Considering how good the burrito tastes, I would say that is a fair price.  Can you find a cheaper or bigger burrito at another truck?  Sure, but I bet it won't be as good.
  
  I really like the radish slices, roasted chili pepper, lemon slice, green onion, and salsa cup that comes with each burrito.  (See my photo).  I like to squeeze a little lemon and salsa into each bite.   Mmmmmmm!  So good!  Then I bite the pepper, radish, and green onion throughout.
  
  A couple of times, they didn't give me a chili pepper or lemon or something.  If I don't notice until I get home, I get real bummed cause I gotta have it all to really enjoy it.  So don't forget that stuff if you are listening El Taco Loco employees!  Also, they don't put napkins in your bag so you got to remember to grab them from the dispenser by the window.  Other than that, this place is awesome!p

  I got 4 tacos on my lunch 2 carna asada, 1 beef tongue and 1 beef cheek. They were all good and delicious.
  My favorite was the carna asada. They have tables to sit and eat but I sat in my car. They also take credit which a plus.

  I love their food, especially their Al Pastor but this is the third time that they give me a burrito with almost no meat.

  Was not impressed with this place at all. I moved here from Arizona and found this place while driving in the area so I thought I give it a try. BIG mistake !!! I ordered some carne asada tacos and a burrito and they were very disappointing. No flavor at all. Stay away! Overpriced food ! If you are ever in Arizona in the city of Peoria you have to try Joe's tacos! They are very delicious! They serve carne asada tacos and burritos with either homemade flour or corn tortillas. They flavor is amazing!They are on Yelp!
