About Taqueria El Taquito De Oro
On N Mebane St in Burlington, Taqueria El Taquito De Oro is a Mexican taco truck with no seating, so most customers eat in their cars or take orders home. The menu runs to fifteen dishes, including the Quesadilla De Lengua and Tacos De Tripa, alongside birria tacos, tacos al pastor, tortas cubanas, and burritos. Elote is also offered, along with Jarritos, Mexican Coca-Cola, and aguas frescas like horchata and agua de tamarindo. A Taco Wednesday deal offers tacos at a discounted price. Service is walk-in, with orders taken at the truck window, and it operates daily. Birria tacos are priced higher than the rest of the taco lineup.

Customer Review Summary
Birria tacos draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers calling the flavor a reset for the dish and returning repeatedly for it, though one diner notes the birria sauce was forgotten on more than one visit. Close behind, tacos de tripa and quesadilla de lengua get called out as authentic, alongside al pastor tacos with salsa verde described as spicy and good, and chicken tacos praised for arriving correct with no onions as requested. Several mention the discounted Wednesday taco deal as a longtime draw, though multiple reviewers report the per-taco price has climbed more than once since, leaving some feeling the value no longer holds given the modest portion size. A torta cubana and aguas frescas like horchata and agua de tamarindo are noted as good, while one reviewer found the esquite too salty. Service is repeatedly called quick and pleasant, with regulars noting staff remember their order before they even arrive.

“Awesome ! Whether at work or in regular clothes; they are awesome. I love the tacos. Recently ………. Within the past 3 months I re-tried Burria Taco’s and they gave me a new look on the cuisine. Their Birria is so flavorful! I did not or have not had a great experience with other spots for this dish and they reset the bar. Love them. And the girls always know my order before I even get there loool. They are awesome!”

“Tacos de al pastor were good, especially with salsa verde, spicy and delicious. Quick service too!”

“After coming here every Wednesday for almost 2 years for $1 tacos, they finally raised their "Taco Wednesday" price to $1.50. As much as I loved their al pastor and their salsa verde/roja, their serving size per taco was small for even $1, …”

“Their tacos were okay they hardly add any meat, we definitely have had better. The torta cubana was good as well as their aguas frescas we got Horchata and agua de tamarindo. The elote (esquite) was not good it was way too salty, the …”

“Edit 9/2025: The taco price increased again, now it's $2.50 per taco. The burritos are $10 and there are still dollar tacos on Wednesdays. The tacos were a fair value before, but definitely not worth the new price point …”
