El Guaco Loco

Favorite is by far is the carnitas platter/​burrito and el guaco is easily one of the best food trucks on campus when considering how fresh/​home made the food is and the price. It’s so cheap and there’s zero mystery to the meat. Way better than chipotle and I come here like once a week

I use to go here semi-​regularly, but someone new started working and I had a very bad experience with them. I asked for four tacos and paid for four, but only received two. I discovered it once I had sat down to start studying and didn’t have time to go back and take care of it. The next day I was very nice and went back and asked if I could have four but only pay for two because of the day before.
The woman was rude and told me I should have came back then, then accused me of receiving free food. I told her I didn’t have time and she said she didn’t care because she couldn’t remember the previous day. It was a very poor experience. I won’t be returning.

Ridiculously good tacos (with salsa verde!) Perfect amount of toppings, pork was delicious, and everything tasted fresh. The girl working was really nice, too. And for $ 5.50 (if I recall correctly), you really can’t beat it for a quick and easy lunch. I commute, so I’m always on the hunt for inexpensive (quality) lunch options, and El Guaco Loco satisfied both my intense taco craving and my wallet. I’m really glad I gave it a shot despite the first not-​so-​positive review.
You really can’t go wrong here. Who doesn’t love tacos?! I will be back. Probably tomorrow.

First and foremost: this is the best burrito you will find in Philly. I think the beef is my favorite, but they’re all delicious. However, don’t expect a ridiculously large burrito like you might find at many Mexican food chains. It’s a filling, reasonable size that is perfect for lunch. Not only that, it’s very reasonably priced at $ 5 (their website says $ 7.50, but it’s been $ 5 every time I go).
While their burritos are amazing, everything else I’ve had from El Guaco Loco has also been fantastic. Their tacos are excellent, and their guacamole is delicious. They use super fresh and simple ingredients, and all of their food is really authentic. You can tell they put a lot of effort into making the food, and they have a lot of attention to detail.
Ignore what the previous reviewer, Julio, said: I think he has fine-​dining expectations for a food truck, which is absurd. The food is far from «dry,» as he describes it. It seems as though he is just spiteful because the cashier wasn’t impressed by his claim of being a «writer and food blogger.»
Overall, El Guaco Loco is a fantastic new addition to Temple’s food truck scene. It is the best Mexican food you’ll find on campus, and I’ve yet to find a better burrito in the city. What’s more, it’s pretty cheap. It’s the perfect quick lunch if you like authentic Mexican food.

I felt compelled to say a little something about el guaco loco it fell short on many fronts for starters it wasn’t busy today and I felt as though they could have done a better job with the portion of the meal, second the dabble of guacamole I Ordered was 1.50 more and it barely made a dent in the dish which was already extremely dried out. For a dish that was prepared fresh the ingredients fell short, third the pork verde sauce which I was looking forward to was missing there was very little juices to mesh with dish. I told the girl I was a writer and food blogger so I guess she probably didn’t take it to heart. Her service was about as dry as my dish. I compliments her on the trucks color theme and mask from the luchadores she simply ignored me. I sat and ate my food right there but overall it just fell short. With all of the great Mexican trucks out there and the competition you have to bring it each and every time. Maybe the cook had a bad day or an off day I wasn’t really impressed. Flavor wise the dish could have rocked had it a little more sauce more love and more guacamole a little more love goes a long way in this business. Not to over them total bad reviews the food was hot and fresh well packaged and the truck was very clean but that should be a standard with trucks come on guys step up your game.
