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

Tacos draw the most attention, with al pastor singled out alongside spicy, delicious salsa verde, and birria tacos that one regular says reset the bar for the dish. Others name Tacos de Tripa and Quesadilla de Lengua as authentic, and a torta cubana, horchata and agua de tamarindo also earn good words. Service is described as quick and pleasant, and one reviewer notes the truck is open late at night. The main complaint is value. Several reviewers say the Wednesday taco special rose in price and then rose again, while others describe small portions and tacos with hardly any meat. One reviewer notes the birria tacos cost more than the others, and another found the elote far too salty. There is no seating, so most people take food home or eat in their cars. One regular says the staff know the order before they arrive, while another reports the birria sauce was forgotten for the second time.

    “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 …”
