Detroit, MI - El Guapo food truck; El Guapo offers an assortment of tacos and burritos to try whether if you are an omnivore or a vegetarian. All the food is cooked to order and I usually have to wait 15-20 minutes for the food when I try their food at the Royal Oak Food Truck Rally. The line can get long there.

The tacos are small and cheap allowing you the opportunity to have a culinary tour in one spot. Almost all their tacos I think are good and a few are really good. After trying their chicken, chorizo, braised beef, Korean, tofu, pork belly, and specialty ones, I think my favorite are the chorizo, Korean, pork belly, and tofu.

All four tacos have complex flavors and none of them are one dimension. They contain fresh ingredients, moist and tender meat, well marinated, textured condiments, and their own distinct flavors. The only criticism is for their tacos shells. They use flour tortillas rather corn, more traditional approach. The corn gives the dish more flavor, texture, and sturdiness with the juices. However, corn tortillas can some times add Unintended flavors, which is what they may be trying to avoid.

Try these four to get hooked and then expand your interest.
