El Monte Taqueria

Seeking a quick ant tasty lunch while out enjoying all that Hood River offers, came upon this food truck a mile or so out of town. The tacos are the real deal. Authentic Mexican street tacos with your choice of meat in double home-made tortillas, dressed with cilantro and chopped onion, served with a wedge of lime. That's how you do it!

I sampled the carnitas, my favorite, the spicy port and carne Anadarko. All delicious. $2.25 each. Served fast and with a smile. Great food truck! I'll be back.

This little road side taco truck, located on the side of a parking lot next to a used building supply yard, is as authentic as they get, and the food is off the charts.

Owned and run by the Familla Barragan, this is as close to the Mexican Border that one can get in Oregon!

I have had the tongue tacos a few times and they are wonderful. They also have carnitas, pollo, asade, pastor, etc, all your favorite flavors, served with a lime wedge, only $1.50 each, a steal!

You order at the truck, then site under the shade at their long picnic table and munch away....

A tip, order ahead for take out, as they can get busy, and they are open till only 7 to 730pm, so its not good for late night munchies, but perfect all the same



They also make Tostadas, Burritos and Quesadillas,

Really good tacos, kind people and very fast service! Highly recommend if you're looking for quick but delicious bite to eat in hood river! The Chicken tacos are the best!

Easily one of my favorite places to eat in HR. I go there very regularly and typically get a burrito. It's a very quick, efficient, and delicious food truck, I highly reccomended eating here.

Great Mexican Food..,,Not your Sour Cream and Guacamole type of place... Authentic Mexican prepared meats in the usual vehicles, Tacos, Tortas, Tostadas, Burritos, Quesadillas. Starting at $1.50 for Tacos to $5.50 for a Super Burro. Outside seating in the parking lot or covered under the tarp, the way it should be..... Good Stuff....

My self and my family are pretty much obsessed with this place. They are without a doubt the best taco cart in town. The food is fantastic, fast, affordable and they are incredibly friendly. My three year old screams "rice and beans!!!" every time we drive by. The short time of the winter that they are closed (for vacation I assume) we find it hard to cope without the tacos and burritos for even a month. You will not be disappointed!

Favorite taco truck in town! They are so friendly and make delicious burritos. Perfect for lunch!

Excellent authentic food, right down the road from my house. Nothing fancy. Californians looking for americanized burritos the size of your head, look elsewhere. If you want authentic, this is the place.

I wanted to like it, but sadly, Overrated. The "Super Burrito" had mostly beans and rice, and was not close to "full". And neither were we (4 of us) after eating them. At all. Had heard good things but they put tiny amounts of meat in what end up as "flat" burritos--ie they were empty. Sorry folks but for $6.50/each you can do way better elsewhere.
