El Dorado Food Truck #2

Overview

Discover El Dorado Food Truck #2, a casual Mexican and Tex-Mex food truck at 4964 Memorial Pkwy NW, Huntsville, AL 35810, United States, serving everything from tacos and birria to enchiladas, seafood, tortas, and hearty combination plates. From a food blogger’s perspective, El Dorado Food Truck #2 stands out for its unusually broad menu and freshly prepared street-food character. It is the kind of place designed for a quick dinner or satisfying takeaway rather than a polished restaurant experience, yet the variety rivals many full-service Mexican restaurants in Huntsville.

The menu is extensive. Diners can choose burritos, sopes, gorditas, quesabirria, crispy taquitos, green enchiladas, fajitas, carne asada, chimichangas, tortas, tamales, loaded fries, and several seafood preparations. Shrimp can be ordered grilled, fried, spicy, or with garlic, while tilapia appears with garlic butter or chipotle sauce. El Dorado Food Truck #2 in Huntsville is generally open Monday through Saturday from about 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., although the truck occasionally moves for special events. Curbside pickup, takeaway, drive-through service, casual dine-in seating, free parking, and wheelchair-accessible parking are currently listed.

One of the best dishes to start with is Birria, which appears among the truck’s current customer favorites. Slow-cooked meat provides a tender, deeply savory filling, while the accompanying chile-forward seasonings add richness and warmth. The Quesabirria version makes the experience even more indulgent by combining that juicy meat with melted cheese and a crisped tortilla. It is a strong choice for diners who want bold flavor and contrasting textures.

The Chilaquiles Verdes are another frequently highlighted favorite. Tortilla pieces coated in tangy green salsa create a satisfying combination of softness, crunch, acidity, and chile flavor. For something more portable, the Taquitos Dorados deliver the familiar pleasure of a crisp fried tortilla wrapped around a savory filling, making them particularly convenient for eating on the go.

Seafood gives El Dorado Food Truck #2 an extra point of distinction. Options such as Camarones al Mojo de Ajo, grilled shrimp, spicy shrimp, and tilapia in chipotle sauce provide more variety than the taco-and-burrito menus found at many food trucks. This makes the truck especially useful for groups whose preferences range from carne asada to seafood.

Customer feedback highlights both a major strength and an important limitation. One recent diner described the food as “absolutely fantastic,” praising its freshness, temperature, texture, and flavor. However, the same customer criticized the lack of visible menu prices and reported paying $26 for rolled tacos and two regular tacos. Because current online menus also do not consistently show prices, asking for the total before ordering is a sensible idea.

The atmosphere is simple, informal, and unmistakably food-truck focused. There is no elaborate dining room, but fast service, kid-friendly dining, convenient parking, and an evening schedule make El Dorado Food Truck #2 an easy stop for casual meals. Its mobile format also gives it a more spontaneous character than a traditional restaurant.

For anyone exploring the best restaurants in Huntsville for distinctive local dining experiences, El Dorado Food Truck #2 deserves consideration for its birria, chilaquiles, Mexican street-food classics, and unexpectedly varied seafood menu. Call +1 256-334-4683 and stop by for a fresh, flavorful meal with plenty of choices.

Amazing food! Fresh and delicious, their prices are super fair as well. And you get a lot of meat when you order a small taco. Definitely coming back!

We pulled into a gas station yesterday to get a drink and saw this food truck. My husband went to order and I ran in the store to grab a water. I thought it was a bit odd that no where inside the store had a price on anything at all and the lady didn't scan anything just made up a total. Seemed strange and way over priced ($5 for a bottle of cheap water) and I left feeling like I was ripped off. I just moved back to the USA and felt like I was overseas again in places they can charge whatever based on how we look. Anyways... When I came out, my husband has already ordered. I look at the menu and there was absolutely no prices on it either. He got an order of rolled tacos and a couple regular tacos and it was $26. This would probably be enough food for one person so I would say it seemed a bit expensive especially for Huntsville Alabama. That all being said, the food was absolutely fantastic. Took us right back to Mexico (especially with no prices listed). It was hot, fresh, textures were correct, taste was fantastic. 5 stars for the food. If they put prices up on their menu, I would absolutely go again. Long story short....great food, shady pricing. I want to know I am treated the same as everyone else when I get there. Without transparency, we cannot.
