Taqueria El Paisa

I was on a evening run through my University Heights neighborhood and came across a small taco stand outside of the liquor store off Meade and Cleveland. It intrigued me but it took me a few weeks to make it back as I am partial to Kiko’s place and wasn’t sure if it was temporary or not!
I finally made it up there yesterday after hearing good things on
and to my surprise they already had advanced from a taco stand to a food truck! Also instead of being there Th-​Sun they are going to be there every day except for Monday! I took this as a good sign and figured they must be doing something right! I could not believe the fish tacos were only $ 1 each! The rest of the menu items also were very cheap. I ordered 2 fish tacos and my gf ordered the nopal and pastor taco. The total for our food was $ 5, can’t beat that for a authentic dinner out!
We didn’t have to wait long and all the tacos were EXCELLENT. In my opinion the fish tacos were the best but that’s just what I prefer. These are street tacos so they are a bit smaller than a full on soft taco but two was a good amount, three would have really filled me up.
I am definitely going to come back. All the employees on the truck were super friendly and were very thorough in explaining all the different items on the menu. I have a feeling it is a family run food truck and they are still working out a few kinks but they are definitely on the right path. I would suggest better seating. They only had 2 high stools and a lower table. I think if they set the mood with better music, seating and lighting it could be a neighborhood hangout.
