I almost didn’t stop because I didn’t see the truck until I’d almost passed, so I actually had to make a U turn for a late lunch. I’m so glad I did. I had a carnitas tacos, a birria taco, a pork tamale, and horchata. Everything was so tasty and fresh. The carnitas was soft and flavorful. I really enjoyed the flavors in the birria. I think it’s my favorite birria taco I’ve had. The horchata was homemade. It was refreshing. Thank you for the tasty meal!

Come by here too early in the morning and always remembered this truck. Finally got to stop by and had a special they had going on which was spicy pork or regular pork or chicken. Totally glad they're here and absolutely satisfied! Everyone should stop by here and give it a shot! Seriously! I know I'll be back for sure! Support local businesses

(Updated to 5 stars) Excellent service. The consomme was so good we basically drank it when done with our food. There is a covered area to sit. The truck looks new and clean. We got two quesabirria plates, 2 Jarritos and a tacos dorados appetizer. Everything was $67, which is painful for taco truck food but that’s the price of everything everywhere these days. And to be honest, the food quality is so good…like restaurant quality. They threw in an horchata as a gesture and brought the food to us which was great service. My only critique is the beans and rice portion is too small.

This is not cheap Mexican food! But it's worth every penny! Don't expect run of the mill, lack of quality, fast Mexican food this is legit! The sopes, gorditas, and tortillas are not store bought they are fresh and you can taste the difference. Authentic is term that gets thrown around a lot for Mexican cuisine but this place holds that standard. Thank God I finally found some good Mexican food in Tacoma!

Xantolo Taqueria always caters to our residents and staff at Birch Creek Post Acute and Rehabilitation. We all love their authentic food, our facilities always request for their food truck to come over to our facility. Mario and his team are amazing. We will continue to supporting our local vendors.

They just came and served food for our 120 guests celebrating our wedding. They did a wonderful job, the food was great, and everyone was so happy. Highly recommended! They knocked it out of the park! Very reasonably priced, and my guests couldn’t stop talking about how good it was!Thanks again so much!

Located on Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Xantolo Taqueria is a standout gem in the world of Mexican cuisine. This vibrant eatery, known for its fresh and authentic offerings, serves up more than just typical taco truck fare. From the moment you bite into their carne asada tacos to savoring the quesabirrias, each dish reflects a dedication to quality and flavor that’s hard to find elsewhere.

The 6 Carne Asada Tacos showcase tender, well-marinated beef wrapped in freshly made tortillas—each bite rich with the smoky essence of expertly grilled meat. Their Taquitos Dorados, golden and crispy, offer a satisfying crunch that gives way to a flavorful filling, while the deluxe Regular Burrito is a hearty treat, packed with layers of perfectly seasoned meats and accompaniments. Not to be missed, the Quesa Birrias combine melted cheese with juicy birria meat, creating a comforting and indulgent harmony of textures and tastes.

What truly sets Xantolo Taqueria apart is the authenticity and freshness in every component. The tortillas, sopes, and gorditas are handmade, providing a distinct texture and flavor that elevates each dish above run-of-the-mill counterparts. The birria, highly praised by customers, stands out as one of the best in Tacoma, bursting with deep, savory notes that linger pleasantly. Homemade touches like the refreshing horchata add a perfect balance to the rich and savory menu offerings.

Beyond the food, the service and ambiance complement the culinary experience. Clean, modern, and welcoming, the venue boasts a covered seating area, making it a comfortable stop regardless of the weather. Despite the slightly higher price point compared to typical taco trucks, the elevated restaurant-quality food and thoughtful service justify every penny spent.

In essence, Xantolo Taqueria is a celebration of authentic Mexican flavors delivered with precision and care. Whether you’re craving the softness of carnitas, the bold spice of birria, or the simple pleasure of fresh tortillas, this eatery promises a memorable meal that resonates with the heart of Mexican street food culture.
