El Sabor De La Vida Tacos

Went to crooked can brewery and wanted to eat something before heading home. Stopped by this wonderful gem, ordered a taco and quesadilla. Then instantly used the rest of my cash to try other items. They do take cards but had cash and was pleasantly surprised with the taste of this authentic Mexican food. Will definitely recommend this place to friends and will stop by again when I’m on this side of town.

Great food. Phenomenal prices. Fast service. He’s only around on the weekends, and boy are we happy when we see the truck as we drive by. We immediately turn around and grub! AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD! Made fresh! Recommend to every single resident of Winter Garden

The first Mexican food truck I’ve sampled in Orlando, El Sabor De La Vida Tacos loosely translates to The Spice of Life Tacos! This is the real deal when it comes to no frills, authentic Mexican food.
The menu is simple. Tacos, Hearty Tacos, Quesadillas, Enchiladas, Gorditas and Guaraches. You have a choice of steak, marinated pork, roast pork, sausage, chicken and beef tongue to stuff your taco with. If you want a Hearty Taco, they will gladly throw in some Choriso (sausage) with your meat of choice. Thus doubling the size of your taco, pow!
I went ahead with 4 Tacos (marinated pork, roast pork and steak), a steak Gordita and a chicken Guarache.
Sadly, a lot of Mexican restaurants are surprisingly bland. This place? The tacos burst with flavor. I don’t know what they marinate their meat in, but the spices they use will make your tongue dance. Your body will surely follow. Juuuuust enough heat to know its there while maintaining a savory after taste. To me, the Gordita was the same as a Taco, except it the ingredients were placed inside a pocket like shell.
The Guarache, (meaning sandal for it’s shape) is an oval shaped, deep fried masa flatbread, then topped with lettuce, onion, copious amounts of your choice of meat and my favorite part, Queso Fresco. The masa gives the dish more of a heavier bite then your typical tortilla and the small crumbly, cheese curds of Queso Fresco carry a slighly acidic tang. Which reminds me of a mild Feta cheese. Delicious.
Your meal comes with Limes, Radish, homemade Red Salasa and Salsa Verde. Salse Verde being the slightly more spicy of the sauces.
They’re only open on the weekends from Friday through Sunday night. A bit out of the way on West Colonial, but worth the trip. Arriba! Andale, andale!
