Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled at 117 Crain Hwy in Upper Marlboro, MD, Tacos Guerrero offers a vibrant and authentic culinary journey into Mexican street food, right from their charming food truck. Specializing in bold, traditional Mexican flavors, this local gem is renowned for its diverse menu that features crowd favorites like carne asada, carnitas, al pastor tacos, and the uniquely delightful “Picaditas” — a dish that one patron excitedly mentioned she rarely finds elsewhere, highlighting the truck’s dedication to authentic, regional specialties.

The experience at Tacos Guerrero is more than just a meal; it’s a heartfelt slice of Mexico. Imagine tender, slow-cooked carnitas with a perfect blend of spices that melt in your mouth, or sizzling carne asada layered with fresh toppings that bring a robust, smoky depth to every bite.

Come and check them out!!! Authentic Mexican flavor. I had the “Picaditas” since I couldn't find this dish in Mexican restaurants and they were delicious. I bumped into this Food truck by luck, I quickly checked the reviews and gave it a try. Well now, every time that I’m in the area I’ll be here to eat! Thank you Tacos Guerrero!

I ate the carnitas and carne asada tacos. Both were really good. Carnitas were my favorite of the two. Not sure what's in them that's so good but they were amazing. Would order again when I'm in the area.

Absolutely delicious! This spot is great for a quick on-the-go meal. My wait time for tacos was 5-8 mins, and there’s parking just a couple steps away. Located in the back of the Home Depot parking lot, so don’t worry, you’re not in the wrong spot lol. I got 4 tacos for $15. Pics are of the menu (as of 12/16/24) and my 2 al pastor (L) and 2 asada (R) tacos. Order came on a plate covered with foil.
