EL TACO DORADO
Authentic Mexican Food Truck
Our story
At El Taco Dorado, our daily mission is to craft, present, and relish in genuine, delectable cuisine. We are passionate about using fresh, vibrant ingredients that are in season, ensuring each dish has its own unique essence. Prior to opening the Taco Truck each morning, we meticulously stock our shelves with only the finest market ingredients, guaranteeing that the food we serve you is bursting with freshness and flavor. We warmly invite you to join us at our Taco Truck and indulge your appetite with authentic Mexican food.

IT’S FINALLY HERE. EVERY. SINGLE. FRIDAY.
Our unique look to our Food truck is intentional. Not only do we want to stand out with the color and design of our truck all around the city, but we want our prices to stick out as well. Check out our Friday Combo meal beginning tomorrow, February 9th. What’s better than a $10 LA Style Burrito? ๐ค 380 College St. ๐ #food #foodtruck #mexicanfood #lunch #newhavenconnecticut #yale #southernctstateuniversity #gatewaycommunitycollege
