Texas Joe’s

Had the brisket tacos! Wow! (Though it’s illegal haha) best I have ever had! The slaw topping was amazing with the nectar agave! Mouthwatering! Can’t wait to stalk this truck!

I didnt even get to take a picture because my daughter ate her tacos so fast. She got the brisket and loved it! I cant wait to try it again. The drunken shrimp sounds amazing.

My company hired these guys to serve us lunch. Amazing food. The owner may be «the legal Mexican», but his brisket taco should be a controlled substance. It could really be habit forming.

Last month was the second annual Food Truckin’ for Josh Cares down on Fountain Square. Over $ 33,000 was raised for Josh Cares, an organization that make sure no seriously ill child feels alone and afraid while hospitalized. It is estimated that over 1,500 people gathered on the square during the three-​hour event to sample food from 10+ Cincinnati food trucks. I can attest to the large crowd, as it was packed upon my arrival just before 1 PM.
I was only able to sample food from one truck, but fortunately it was one that was new to me. Joseph Garcia, owner of Texas Joe, was born and raised in the heart of the South, Houston, Texas. According to his website, «His food comes from generations of family home cooks that didn’t measure or use recipes.» With the exception of the tortillas, Garcia prepares all the items on his menu from scratch. He offers quesadillas, tacos and tostados with a variety of meat: including chipotle pulled chicken, braised beef brisket and 12-​hour hickory smoked pork.
Unfortunately it seems that Texas Joe was working with an abbreviated menu for the food truckin’ event. The only thing on the menu for the day was tacos (1 for $ 4), however they were not the standard tacos either. Normally the tacos come topped with black bean and corn salsa, shredded cabbage, and grated cotija cheese, which sounds awesome! The tacos for this day did not have the salsa or cabbage but were instead served topped with a mix of sautéed vegetables. Both the chipotle chicken and the vegetables tasted good, but they did not blend well together and I found it to be a rather odd combination.
I really wish I could have tried to taco as advertised on the standard menu, as it sounds so much better than the funky combination I was served on this day. The food was freshly prepared and tasted good, but I feel that it wasn’t a very Tex-​Mex inspired dish. I look forward to seeing Texas Joe out again so that I can try the true «Legal Menu.»

The smoked pork taco might be the best taco I have ever had. Amazing.

My husband and I visited this food stand one afternoon while at the Bellevue Farmer’s Market. We caught them right as they were starting to pack up the booth, but they eagerly agreed to make us lunch. I had the pulled pork quesadilla and my husband had the pork tacos. They were both excellent! The ingredients were fresh, spices were awesome and I can’t wait for the weather to start warming up again so we can go back. Go down and check this guy out when you have a chance. You won’t regret it!

This place is awesome, plain and simple. It’s reasonably priced for what it is, good quality food that is mildly filling. That being said, if nothing else, stop by and get a fresh squeezed lemonade. The place rocks, check it out.

Local, fresh & full of flavor! Wonderful afternoon for Texas Joe’s. I will definetly be back!

I went to the Bellevue Farmer’s Market and saw a food truck. Nice addition. While I enjoy shopping. I get hungry but most things we buy there are for take home. It was good to see a food truck to scratch that hunger itch.
There’s not much to say. They not only satisfied my food truck requirements of serving decent food hot and quick but used fresh ingredients that could have been bought off the farmer at the market that morning. There was simply a lightness and freshness to the tacos.
My wife and I shared two tacos ($ 7). We’d both had a bite before coming so were happy to share but two would make a nice lunch.
