Hidden Gem! Hands down THE BEST and most underrated latin food truck in Hotsprings! Handmade tortillas, warm savory made-to-order food! Been going here for years, they are extremely consistent and friendly!

I love getting the sopes. I've tried all the different meats. They are all amazing. And the red salsa is not for the faint of heart but also has great flavor. I look forward to it everytime I pass by it.

Food was great. Very tasty. It was slightly pricey for what it is though. I dont recommend the quesadillas, but the burrito was very good and definitely worth the money. The tortillas for the tacos are hand made tortillas and they are very tasty.

The taco and tostada were amazing. I am from out of town and wasn’t familiar with this food truck. My sister recommended it. WOW!! It did not disappoint. The owner & his wife were so welcoming. The food was fresh and had a beautiful presentation. The flavors were something I had never tasted and I have been to Mexico City to Cancun to Southwest Detroit. The flavors here are something to try. The next time that I am in town, I will return to Taco Express.

One of the best taco trucks I’ve been too and I’m usually picky about my tacos but these were awesome! The carnitas had great flavor and very tender, homemade tortillas too. Had to wait a bit for them but I did place a large order, don’t let the wait time detour you, it is well worth waiting for and you get it hot & fresh! The ladies working the truck were also very nice.

As a transplant from Southern California (Marine Corps Veteran), I have been searching for Tacos that'll satisfy the craving of authenticity. This location is as close as I've experienced to the street tacos in Los Angeles and Baja, California. The servings are exceptional, the corn tortillas are made fresh with every order and the meats are cooked tender, with an abundance of delicious flavors (I recommend the AL Pastor & Carnitas). They do not accept Debit/Credit cards, CASH ONLY. You won't be disappointed! * I suggest going during the day! The pricing is very reasonable and affordable.
