I first heard of this taco truck a couple of years ago but never caught it open until recently. The owner is from Guerrero and there's a unique thing about their tacos. What they're known for is the enchiladaded tortillas used. Actually what I observed was dabbing some of the salsa roja on the tortillas on the griddle rather than dipping them, but the effect is pretty much the same and the tortillas fluff up some as they are grilled besides absorbing the flavors of the salsa. You get only one tortilla per taco here, at least with the corn (didn't try the flour if they even offer it), and fillings are perhaps a mite skimpy, but the extra step with the tortillas makes a big difference flavor-wise. I found myself craving more of these before I even got back home. As you can see, they also use grilled onions, and a generous amount, and the other unique ingredient is potatoes. I wasn't too sure about that last ingredient so asked for no potatoes on the al pastor (top) and potatoes on the fajita (bottom), but I wound up with no potatoes at all and all the onions on the al pastor. There was a breakdown in communications between the two workers on the truck, apparently.Oh yes, another thing - parking is virtually non-existent: they're in the parking lot of a tire shop. I drove a block away to the parking lot of a rather infamous Kroger in a torrential downpour that lasted about 3 minutes to dig in.
I'll be going back to this truck again.
Open only Tuesday thru Saturday, 11a to 11p.

Nicole, I realized you didn't want your comment published and took it down. The answer is no, not as Chili Bob.
Chili Bob is absolutely correct that the tortilla's are something special at Taco Keto. They make the tacos and gorditas really awesome. I must also recommend the fajita torta. Get it with ham and avocado. You must also try the grilled quail! The Spanish word is guilotas. Chili Bob is being a little dramatic about the parking. Kroger is not exactly a block away... it's more like right across the street.
