What People's Say About Place

Another surprisingly good taco truck in Oregon. I chose this place because of the good reviews and when I rolled up I saw it was just a truck with a couple plastic tables and blaring banda music. I thought to myself, meh nothing special here. We were greeted by a super friendly guy waiting to make us some of the best food truck fare. I am a sucker for asada fries so I got those. My wife got chiles rellenos (I was super skeptical about getting this dish from a truck). Turns out that both of them were great. In fact I think the chile relleno was better than the asada fries. The chile was substantial, the breading was just right and the cheese was melted and not grainy or old tasting. The asada fries were good but not the best I've ever had. I really liked the asada, there was lots of it and it was cut a little larger which is a sign that they are not trying to hide poor quality. Also had a carnitas taco which was very good and well priced. If I'm there again, I may just get a bunch of tacos. $2/ taco is a deal these days.

This is hands down my favorite spot to get takeout right now! The food is always SO GOOD! It's hot, it's fresh, it's flavorful, it's never soggy or bland, and the prices are on point. They listen to my special requests of no cilantro, and extra jalapenos and onions. They are super flexible and always make my food exactly how I want it. I just love them!! The lady at the counter always remembers me and knows I hate cilantro haha! My favorite meal to get right now is the carnitas fries, that's what's in the pictures. DON'T SLEEP ON THE CARNITAS! I know people usually want carne asada from Mexican food trucks, which is great too, but their pork is sooo tasty. Even my little one year old baby eats it up with me!

Huge portions of everything, so tasty. Satisfied my Tacos craving will definitely get again and again

Have eaten here several times with my S/O throughout the pandemic but have never wrote a review - decided we'd go back after several months and see if it held up! Ordered Carnitas, Asada and Chorizo street tacos and an order of Nachos. First and foremost, the presentation is amazing! Always smells delicious and looks delicious and definitely not disappointed in the taste department. Fully recommend the nachos - we had never had them before and they were ridiculously good with the asada and crema mixed together. Arguably some of the best nachos we've ever had. The street tacos in order of tastiness: Chorizo - Asada - Carnitas. Chorizo is the sleeper here at Alamilla's and was very happy to see it still held up several months later. Asada is high tier for the greater Salem area and arguably the best taco truck Asada in this area. Carnitas was good but wasn't anything to write home about. All in all, can definitively say that Alamilla's Taqueria is one of the best taco trucks in the greater Salem/Keizer area and would highly highly recommend to go try, especially the nachos! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Been going here for more than 4 years. Great good. Great people. The burritos are fire! I personally like the tacos but I like them simple and yummy! Wife loves their champurrado. I might be bias because they are so good I don't really go anywhere else for my burrito. Open after 4 on Sunday and not open Mondays, I always forget that and go on a Monday and get disappoint, but I'm right back Tuesday getting my munchies!

If you are looking for some great Mexican food I highly recommend this taco truck. It is hidden pretty well but once you find it I'm sure you will keep going back. This is a regular for myself and my husband now, we go pretty much every weekend. I recommend the Verdes Enchiladas con pollo plato (green enchiladas with chicken plate), I can't seem to get enough lol, I also recommend the chiles rellenos. Both of us said this was the best Mexican food truck we have been to yet in Oregon and trust me we go to a lot. Enjoy, provecho!

I really love this place. Always fast and the food is always great. Customer service is perfect, always nice and welcoming. I would definitely consider this my favorite. I definitely recommend swinging by, you won’t regret it.

Best Mexican in Keizer! I might be addicted to their carnitas and habanero sauce. Burrito is my go to but plate or tacos are delicious too. Love that they have horchata. Prices are better if you go in person compared to doordash and they have a nice little sitting area in the shade, but late night doordash option is great to have.
