Fantastic!!! Everyone loved the food, especially the steak tacos & amazing churros. Tacomotora was on time, easy to work with, & pulled the truck down my long driveway with ease. Would definitely hire them again.

They were on time, and team was so pleasant to work with. My staff couldn't stop talking about the food. I saw staff going back to the trucks two to three times. I found the food to be very good and tasty. I will definitely call on them again.

Everyone had nothing but fantastic things to say— I think around 8 people at the event came up to me at separate times saying the tacos were amazing. 10/10 would recommend and would reserve for future events.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Chicago, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Tacomotora when you book.

Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Tacomotora lists vegan options, vegetarian options, dairy-free options and gluten-free options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
