    My taco shells broke. I suggest having two for the awesome amount of food. But the chicken was a bit too spicy for me. I added sour cream to cool a bit. I’ll continue to order to try other stuff tho. The churros were good

      The food was absolutely amazing! Honestly wish they had a restaurant so I can order more frequently. Had the pleasure of tasting some of their food at a small catered event. Also the staff working the truck were extremely friendly. Would order again without hesitation.

        My wife and I got married this past weekend and El Cartel catered our outdoor venue. I can’t say enough good things about the experience. The food was amazing and the nacho bar was awesome. Our guests loved the food. I highly recommend booking them for your next event!

          Delicious and courteous service at a backyard birthday party! Loved the Bulgogi rice bowl that was fusion of Mexican/Korean cuisine. Options for Vegans, Gluten Free and kids. Highly recommend their service for your next event. You will not be disappointed!
