"This was my first time at this taco truck. Our friends that live nearby. This is one of the favorite places to get tacos. They have a great selection of meats including cabeza, lengua, steak, beef, chicken, fried pork, and more.
I ordered a steak burrito and a steak taco and folks that were with me got chicken tacos. All the food was very well prepared and I thought their salsas tasted good and I had enough heat. Could have used a little more heat LOL but it was tasty enough.
They are located in the Wilco parking lot in Silverton Oregon.
Services was timely. There were several people before and after us, but our wait for the food was not long.
If you're in the area and want good Mexican food, please visit this food truck"

"El Caporal Taco Truck in Silverton Oregon is worth a visit. After mountain biking up at silver falls State Park my son and I were pretty hungry and we were able to get five tacos, a Jarito and leave a $2.50 tip all for $15.
Not much to say outside of the fact that they're good little tacos. There's a little metals stand next to it with some limited seating if you choose to eat there.
But I appreciate it about it was that they are affordable and good and it did not take long for them to have our order ready. Just a great combination of things when you're hungry after riding a good trail."

We recently tried this Mexican food truck (located on C Street near the McClaine St intersection) because every time I drive past, there’s a line. We didn’t regret our choice— it’s so good!. They also boast a 4.9 star rating on Google reviews.
