Taquero Fusion

I had the bbq pork and mole chicken tacos from the food truck. I thought they were great, especially with the little sides they provided. The rice was just OK, and the tacos look like they’ve been in a heater for a while, but that’s what you can expect from a food truck. Overall I thought the two tacos I tried from this food truck had a lot of flavor. I will be going back!

Just tried chicken tacos and guacamole and chips at the Daley Plaza — To say I was very disappointed is an understatement. The taco and rice combo includes 2 bland tacos, a spoonful of sour slaw, a small container of salsa and a ¼ cup of dry rice and it costs $ 9 — way over priced. There are not even any toppings in the taco — just chicken and a flour tortilla — not even cilantro. The guacamole and chips were awful. The chips were stale — so there was nothing to even eat the guacamole with and the guacamole tasted like it was not fresh but rather pre-​made by a chain grocery store. My friend had the bbq pork tacos and was equally disappointed. The meat was dry and grizzly — blah.
With so many food truck options, we will not give this another shot.

I heard this was coming to my place of work and was so excited! Especially since they carry Arroz con Gandules! I never get a chance to have this for lunch unless I make it myself!
I have to say the tacos were not great but decent. However, the the Arroz con Gandules was SO NOT Puerto Rican. Puerto Rican inspired maybe, but not Puerto Rican. NEVER EVER use parboiled rice for Puerto Rican rice! It’s dry and not authentic. It was a miss for me. Nice try though.

as much as I love the carne Molido, I disliked the chicken. I wish I got both beef. Molido is soooo good. moist and flavorful. I will be back for this.

Well
Y try the combo 2 tacos mini side rice and 2 salsas
Tacos was ok salsas no flavor at all. The rice so sm side i find one gandul only

There was literally nothing I liked about this place.
I just had lunch at the Daley Plaza food truck rally and paid $ 9 for a trio of tacos. In a way, it makes me feel better that I didn’t just pay $ 9 for bad tacos, they were the worst tacos I’ve ever had.
Each of the tacos had only two ingredients: meat and tortilla –although since they were probably cooked last night, the ingredients sort of melded into one soggy mess (the truck didn’t even appear to be equipped to make anything fresh, they only pulled out tacos from a giant warmer and stuffed them in a bag.).
The «slaw» that it came with was one spoonful of sour, pink cabbage. I didn’t even want to finish my spoonful even though I was still quite hungry and dissatisfied after my tacos.
And as if things couldn’t get any worse, their slogan is: «Tacos With a Latin Twist». Perhaps I’ve been living under a rock (a rock with decent food) but where I come from tacos are already considered «Latin». NOT COOL TAQUERO FUSION!

After waiting in line for over an hour at a food truck festival for these tacos I was very disappointed… The beef tacos looked like dog food with flavorless green sauce and some purple looking «slaw» on top no lettuce no tomatoes no onions… The chicken tacos consisted of some shredded flavorless chicken with the same toppings… I was very disappointed and was expecting tacos that look like the ones pictured on the side of their truck, these were nothing like the ones pictured!

Simple, flavorful, and delicious! Generous portion of meat, tasty fusion slaw, friendly staff — if I come across them again, I will be a repeat customer.
Pollo Chon and the Mole were both wolfed down, and I would have gone back for more, but they were so popular that they sold out!

Hello! Taco’s from a bus? Brilliant! I had the chance to order from Taquero Fusion while I was at Taste of Chicago 2013. I ordered one of each veggie and chicken taco.
Both tacos were good. Staff was friendly. Price of tacos was a bit much but I’ll still order from Taquero Fusion.

Two tacos with a side of rice = $ 8. That alone is grounds for a one star review. I gave them an extra star because their tacos are good. I had the pork and beef. Note that I said BEEF, not STEAK (WTF?! $ 8??). Their prices alone TOTALLY negates the purpose of a food truck. Why would I pay more from a truck than from a brick and mortar store? Ridiculous.

Food trucks in Chicago have it rough, man. I don’t know what the story is now for cooking on the actual truck, but I have to guess the vast majority, including Taquero Fusion, prep their goods off-​site. You can tell.
I ordered up a beef taco and a chicken taco. They got it right by serving a heaping helping of meat into two corn tortillas, but that’s about it. No onion. No cilantro. No tomato. They only had the mild salsa, which is LAME. The lettuce was huge, leafy greens that didn’t fit the taco at all.
Vegetarian rice was boring and sticky.
$ 8 for 2 tacos and a scoop of rice is criminal.

Its good, but not great. I tried the steak taco and daily special tilapia lemon taco. The tortilla impressed me the most, it was a fresh flour and kind of spongy. More topping choices would be welcome, my tacos came with tomatillo salsa and red cabbage. Onions, pico de gallo, bell pepper, carrot, or really any other topping would welcome. I wasnt dissatisfied, but I wanted to be more impressed from a Fusion Taco truck.

Just finished my lunch from Taquero, honestly I wasn’t impressed at all.
The food sounded a lot better than it looked than it tasted. I got a vegetarian taco and chip & guac. The veggie taco was sooo small, definitely not worth almost 3 bucks. Kinda greasy and lack of flavor. The guac & chips were skimpy as well, and for something advertised as «mix» (Tortilla Plantain Mix), I found 4 pieces of plantain chips in my box. Not that I cared, because the plantain chips weren’t good. The guac tasted decent, and that was perhaps the best part about the lunch. But it was brown by the time I got to eat it (about 10 mins later)
The girl who was working the truck was unfriendly. I wonder why she even bothered putting out the tip jar. Also, the pricing is f-​up. A taco is 2.79, and a chip & guacamole is 3.99, total out to be 6.79. Yet the combo of these two things is 6.99 — I’m confused? Isn’t it supposed to be cheaper with the combo? Anyway, Unilocal described it well: meh, I’ll spend by 7 bucks for tasty fresh Mexican at Chipotle.

Limited in vegetarian options, I had the mushrooms on soft taco and do want to make a special mention of their salsa/​sauce, which was very good. But overall, probably not impressed but I’m sure their meat options are bigger hits.

Had the pleasure of getting to try this food truck a week ago with my colleague in town from Boston.
The Good:
Truck accepts credit cards and was parked right on Monroe & Dearborn outside my office. The «BBQ Carnitas» tacos were AMAZING… I want more! They had the perfect mix of pork, seasonings, lime, barbecue sauce, cayenne pepper and flour/​corn tortillas. The «Pollo Chon» tacos were good and meet was juicy, but left something more desired. They had USDA Choice Chicken, olive oil, spices, garlic, onion, citrus and cilantro. Tacos are $ 3 each.
The Bad:
I got the last two «BBQ Carnitas» tacos so I had to share one with my colleague in trade for one of his «Pollo Chon». I didn’t much care for the «Fusion Chips» (Plaintain, corn, salt lime). There weren’t very many for $ 4 and they were a bit stale. The Guacamole was good, but not the best I’ve ever had.
The Ugly:
The portion on the chips and guacamole was skimpy. Also, they charged $ 10 to my colleague who had ordered 2 tacos and a chips/​guac order. Instead he got the meal of 2 tacos and rice ($ 8)… yet he still was charged $ 10! It was raining and cold so we didn’t bother to go back.

Kismet — we found another food truck we had been wanting to try. The gods must have been smiling upon us as the weather was perfect, we were in the beautiful bubble that is Hyde Park and we got to try the mini tacos.
We each had a chicken taco with mild salsa and fusion slaw. Absolutely amazing with soft melt in your mouth tortillas wrapped around tender chicken. Spice it up with the salsa and slaw and your mouth is saying, Fiesta Fusion!
Yes, we were snacking our way around Hyde Park and smiling about it!

I love Food Trucks!
Taquero Fusion marks my first food truck visit in Chicago. I decided to go with the Taco Box which included two tacos, arroz con gradules (rice with pigeon peas) and fusion slaw. I went with the carne molida taco and fish taco. Both were delicious. The rice was also very tasty! The fusion slaw was good, but I could have used a little larger serving.
Overall, a solid experience. I would visit the truck again.

So this place was at Ethyl’s for the Thursday night food truck-​aganza.
I was a virgin to this experience so I was really excited about trying all of the food trucks. Not to mention, I decided to try this on the hottest day in September… the only day in September.
This little truck stood out to us because it had a video screen… OOhhhh, Ahhhh. Haha. Anyway, it got our attention :)
We asked the ladies what was good and they suggested the steak and tilapia. We went with the steak and chicken tacos. They gave us one each of the hot and mild sauce.
The steak taco was my FAVORITE-​O of the night. So much flavor packed into this little taco. It was amazing!!! The chicken was just ok, but hey the steak made the experience worth it. At this point, I didnt care that it was 100degrees and sweat was pouring down my legs in September. It made the experience worth it.
Plus, it was CHEAP! $ 3 per taco which was a great deal

Love the sight of food trucks in the loop area these days… I was sooo bummed when they were denied in the Chi.
Either way, was super stoked to come across this one as I was on my journey to a regular lunch spot. Did a double take look and said oh I gotta try this and changed my lunch plans w/​in .235 of a milli sec. The menu was everything I wished for, basically tacos explained and sounding that they were prepared the way they should be. Diffrerent hot sauces to choose from and varities of meats and rices to choose from.
The lunch box for 7.50 was 2 tacos (asada and pollo), choice of rice (puerto rican), hot sauce (mojo rojo), then a cabbage slaw for tacos.
Tacos:
— Steak had great flavor, chunks, and not fatty
— Chicken very tender, flavors of chicken noodle soup. Most likely simmered in a broth. It was kinda runny…
Rice:
— Love puerto rican rice w/​gandules, but it was very dry. Douced it w/​hot sauce, then it was better
Hot sauce:
— Just the perfect heat. Its classified is hot and it is. Good stuff
Cabbage slaw:
— Didnt see an option for onion/​cilantro. Would like to see, but this lacked flavor and was more texture for the tacos.
Great idea, some small kinks to work out… For a taco truck I had higher expectations though, the steak taco was great if it was or wasnt for that my rating would change but there were too many things that were just mildly ok.

This was a food truck at my corner that I hadn’t seen before, so I decided to give them a shot. I had the taco box ($ 8) with two no carne tacos, mango salsa, and a side of jalapeño rice. Everything was bland, bland, bland and disappointing.
I love to support entrepreneurs and small businesses in these difficult times, but to compete with the other food trucks out there, even just the ones that come to my corner, you better step up your flavor game.
