El Picosito

One of my favorite late night food trucks. Huge portions, great price, quick, open late. How can you say no to that? Their burritos are some of the biggest I’ve had ever along with their tortas. Packed out with a lot of stuff. Warning, their hot sauce is pretty spicy but maybe I’m just being a weenie about it. Their tacos are amazing! I really recommend the beef tongue. As weird as it sounds it’s actually very good. Be a little open minded! Try it out.
The only thing I hate is the that they’re not open during the day but that’s also why I love it cause they’re only open at night. Also they don’t take card so bring cash!

Who knew you could find a really good taco place around a neighborhood primarily filled with Asian cuisine and supermarkets?! Though this place is actually a truck, it is one of my new favorite places to get tacos. I recently just tried this truck for the first time and I was definitely blown away. From the exterior, the taco seems a bit shady and old especially with their outside menu posted faded and handwritten updated prices.
I ordered a carne enchilada taco which was a decent size for the price of $ 3. When I took a bite of the taco, it was amazing. The meat of the taco was well seasoned that it melted in your mouth, the texture of the meat was near perfect. I am not a big fan of radish but the thinly sliced radish on top of the taco, I could hardly taste it. There was a combination of flavors especially with added green sauce of spicy and savory. The only part of the taco I was not fond of was the soft tortilla shell. I found the shell a bit too dry and thin and it did not compliment the taste of the meat.
The taco truck sells a variety of tacos and I highly recommend this place whenever you are in the Elmhurst area and looking for cheap eats! It is parked right in front of a Walgreen’s so if you want to get a drink or dessert, it is just a few steps away!

MUST TRY TACO TRUCK
Ever since my friend took me here, I’m always finding an excuse to be around elmhurst so I can get the tacos. THEYRE SO GOOOD. I have bi-​weekly cravings for their tacos LOL
Its $ 2.50 for a taco and they have different meats such as chicken, beef, sausage, beef tongue (i think beef?), and goat! It comes with a red and green sauce which are delicious with the tacos! Careful not to put too much of the green sauce on it cause it is pretty spicy!
The menu is in spanish but you can ask them what kind of meats they have! They’re english isnt that great but theyre very friendly!
I’m not completely sure when the taco truck opens but its usually there late at night in front of the Walgreens.

The tostadas are the best value. Better than most trucks. Open evenings till late. The quesadillas are crap.

Need a late night snack? This taco truck got you! Lengua Nachos $ 5.00! Come get it here!
Located in a busy area in Elmhurst, this food truck is open late nights. Being adventurous, I tried the Lengua (cow’s tongue) Nachos. Lengua was so tender and despite it having barely any flavor, it goes great with the nachos — which comes with bean sauce, cheese, chopped tomatoes, avocado slices, white sour cream sauce, and green sauce on the side. This savory treat that I just cannot stop eating!
The prices are inexpensive here and caters to the late night crowds. They do make everything as you order — just take down their number and call your order in ahead of time for pick up!

Love the spicy milanesa tortas! And the tacos are delicious too. The torta has breaded chicken, avocado, lettuce, tomato, jalapeños and some sauce that is to die for! Definitely my late-​night go to place!

Been coming here for a few months now. The Tacos are delicious, I’ve tried almost all of them, but I will say the chorizo taco is my favorite. It has the most flavor and it comes in a hefty amount. Each taco is $ 2.50, I usually order 3 or more. The truck doesn’t arrive till late in the afternoon, but it stays there till after 12am. I would say it takes an average of 5 minutes for 3 tacos to be ready. The guys working there are great, fast and know what they are doing.

I Love this place, drunk and sober. Long list of ingredients. I love the beef tongue tacos. I usually just get the tacos but I like the torta as well. My only complaint is they aren’t around for lunch. I think they start at 4pm.

the transplants complaining about no «real mexican» in nyc is super tired. there might not be the «best» in manhattan or the out-​of-​towner-​brooklyn areas but take a trip to the boroughs and they’re in your face. el picosito always gets it right.

They are slow. The tacos are made to order and however long you think it should take, it will be longer. Wouldn’t be so bad if the food was worth waiting for. It is not. Completely flavourless. Everything is overpriced for what it is.

Made to order taco truck.
Portions are pretty descent. I ordered 2 Tortillas with Carnitas (each is $ 2.50) They put a good portion of meat, and on top of it there’s lettuce, cheese, sour cream, tomato sliced. I get full with 2.
Waiting to make an order is kinda terrible here. They should work a little faster (they are the slowest service I’ve seen by far).
It’s just because they were 2 blocks away from my home. Otherwise I would have gone somewhere else.

I have found a better taco truck that gives more for the dollar! I will still stop by that is if im ever in the neighborhood. As for a review, tacos are still good though

I ordered here one late drunken night. With my impaired senses I thought that I wouldn’t be too critical of the food but I was. I was not satisfied. I ordered chicken flautas. I waited forever for them to prepare them and then when I bit into one flauta it was cold!
