Good news, everyone! We have a plethora of excellent taco joints in Pensacola, and this one absolutely must be in your list. The only problem is that you know you’re going to have to come back for more.

We’ve been to Mexico many times and this is the most authentic al pastor, tripa, beef tongue tacos you’ll ever have. Everything is so fresh and clean. They put so much love into their cooking and the service is quick. Highly recommend. The empanadas are also amazing.Next door at the Peruvian stand you can get a refreshing smoothie and ceviche

I learned about this place from one of my amigos. So, I decided to check it out. Walked up to this little food truck deck area, it was covered, and had plenty of places to sit. The cashier greeted me and was pleasant. I was on lunch break so decided to get my order to go. I ordered 3 tacos from Taco El Amigo and paid with credit card (says Chile Lindo on my receipt so maybe that’s the correct name). 1 asada, 1 pollo, and 1 pork for 8. Took about 5-10 mins to get my food after I ordered as they make it fresh. When it came out it was hot, and looked delectable. I sat in my car and dug in. Oh my… these tacos were delicious! Only thing I didn’t like is that I should’ve ordered 3 more. Not because I wasn’t satisfied with the portion, but simply because they were so good I needed more! I’ll definitely be a regular lunch patron over there!

The food is really great and the service is very friendly, respectful and courteous. Sindy is a great employee there. She is friendly and courageous and respectful. She takes the orders, serves the food and helps clean the tables.

If I do anything, umma eat a taco lol. If I remember correctly this food truck has other food trucks by it. It was a bit of a language barrier but, nothing my Spanglish couldn’t fix. I remember eating and my taco stuff was falling out so I was able to split it with it’s under taco. I remember being stuffed. That’s all I remember. I will go back again to update this review.

We stopped by here and grabbed some tacos. Wow these are great. They are near the airport. We arrived about 11:45am and just beat the lunch rush. The Steak and chorizo tacos are #1.As for atmosphere, well it's a taco truck! But be that as it is they have a deck with umbrellas to sit under. Very pleasant this time of year.We will definitely be back.Urban CowgillFebruary 2023

Delicious street taco selection, quesadilla filled up with a lot of protein! The corn is so good, 2 tacos 2 corn is a perfect serving! Always fast service and always fresh. Don't skip this place! Great for pick up or eat at the numerous covered tables available. The salsa is HOT but complements the food perfectly!! Our family usually eats here 3 times a month
