About Tacos El Poblanito

We operate about six trucks each day, serving fresh, flavorful Mexican favorites like tacos, quesadillas, and burrito bowls, along with sweet treats like churros and fresh fruit cups. Chicken and carnitas are always popular, with our carnitas being one of our most frequently requested options. We want everyone to be able to enjoy a great meal, so we offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and Halal options upon request. Grab your favorite salsa from the counter—and if extra onions are your thing, just ask! You might smell us before you see us. The aroma of sizzling carnitas, warm quesadillas, and freshly prepared tacos is hard to miss. In addition to our daily truck service, we cater parties, corporate gatherings, and special events. We’ll pull up, get set up, and keep the crowd fed with generous portions and fast, friendly service. If you’re looking for delicious Mexican food without the fuss, find one of our trucks and come hungry.

Daniel Barrios

Owner, Tacos El Poblanito

My name is Daniel Barrios Castillo, and I run Tacos El Poblanito, officially Tacos El Poblanito Inc. Our trucks can be found throughout Brooklyn, serving fresh, high-quality food to customers during busy lunch rushes, late nights, and everything in between. I’ve been in this business for more than four years, and running the trucks means early mornings, late nights, and plenty of problem-solving along the way. In just three years, we’ve catered more than 1,300 events, from intimate gatherings of 30 people to large-scale events where four of our trucks served more than 1,500 orders in just three hours. What keeps me going is seeing our regulars come back, watching new customers discover our food for the first time, and knowing that Tacos El Poblanito has grown into a true family business. At the end of the day, my approach is simple: show up, work hard, serve great food, and treat every customer and client with care and respect.

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 New York, so booking early gives you the best selection.

This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider the attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Tacos El Poblanito includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, and setup and breakdown. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is; the truck will let you know if one applies. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Tacos El Poblanito?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in New York book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Tacos El Poblanito cater?
Tacos El Poblanito is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around New York are all bookable from this page.
Where does Tacos El Poblanito serve?
Tacos El Poblanito is based in New York, NY and takes bookings across New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan, Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Passaic, Union, Morris, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Sussex, Warren, Fairfield, New Haven, Litchfield, Monroe and Pike Counties. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies.

Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Tacos El Poblanito lists vegetarian options, gluten-free options, dairy-free options, halal options and vegan 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.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Tacos El Poblanito will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
