Taqueria Emiliano Zapata - Ellenton

We just moved the the Palmetto area and wanted some authentic Mexican food. I googled and this place popped up and it's only 5 minutes from the house. At first we couldn't find it because it's a tiny little food truck next to a party store wedged between a little house and the party store. Don't let the back alley feel of the place scare you, .this food is absolutely amazing. The family who owns and runs it are so nice and their daughter who works after school is such a sweet girl. Tuesday is $1 taco day. We had the supreme tacos so they were $1.50. Holy Moly! These things are great! We actually came back 5 days later for more. This could be a bit difficult for my weight loss challenge but instead of 3 tacos, I'll just eat 2. Enjoy this wonderful take out restaurant, it's worth the short wait or you can call it in.

Almost missed the place thinking it was closed. Glad I went with my intuition along with determination to get tacos we turned back around and sure enough my usual order of two al pastor and two asadas along with an horchata was placed. Quickly enough these godsend delightful tacos were ready for me to devour. They were so perfectly made with the ultimate authentic flavor, truly made from scratch. I was so captivated that I didn't even manage to snap a flick which is never the case for me. Will make sure to stop here post shopping at the Outlets definitely beats all of the food there.

The food truck is tucked away beside Jay's Discount Beverages. My wife, nephew and I went there for some tacos and were impressed. The food is great and all at a very reasonable price. Everything was fresh. My nephew and I had the asada (steak), and my wife had the carnitas. Everything was great but we all agreed the asada was really exceptional. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

I came here on Taco Tuesday and ordered the carne asada tacos, rice, and beans. The tacos were tasty but the large chunks of onion were a little much since they were essentially raw- hardly cooked, if at all. The rice and beans were perfectly seasoned but the rice was dry and crunchy at times. I'd like to give this place a second try and maybe coming around 7 vs 8:15, 45 min before closing, will make a difference.

Just ate here for the first time today and I much say the tacos here are amazing! Fresh made, delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommend for everyone to try.
