Aloha, Oregon - Taqueria El Gordo

We had started hearing good things about a taco truck in Aloha, except sometimes it was a truck and sometimes it was a restaurant. It turns out it was both.

They do have an inside space. It looks like it will eventually join up with the hair salon, making this a multi-purpose commercial space that is in a time of transition. For now they are also parked right next to a truck, and this was where we placed and received our orders.

 There was an order window inside, displaying an impressive dessert menu.




In the meantime, it is nice to have a place to sit down and eat, outside of the weather. That is something not a lot of trucks offer.

Food is very good. They are especially known for their tacos al pastor, or tacos arabes, where the savory meat is kept on a large skewer, like shawarma. (You can get the meat in a burrito as well.) The rice was really good.

Portions are small, but prices are too. It is probably best to approach things from a tapas point of view, where you plan on ordering many different things and getting to try a lot.

There was a little bit of disorganization, like the girl taking my order not knowing about the Taco Tuesday deal posted on Facebook. As the business gets settled, this is probably to be expected. Given the quality of the food and the low prices, I think this can be dealt with.
