Taqueria San Tadeo - Mexican restaurant in Norman - 401 S Porter Ave, USA

We came here on a weekend afternoon during summer for lunch. Because it is summer, we were bitten several times by mosquitos waiting for our order. After receiving our order, they have a room where you can dine, so you do not have to order takeout. I am a big fan of taco food truck, but this one was not hitting the right spot for me. The meat tasted stale. I probably would not come back to this place.

Missing some really great Mexican food, I ventured and took a gamble on this place. Saw all the great reviews and thought what the heck! Sooooo happy I did! As soon as I took the first bite of my taco al pastor, my soul danced!!! :D These are legit; I'll happily take the 30-minute drive for these! Yes, it's a taco truck, in some hole in the wall, and so I knew what to expect. The staff was nice and the service was fast! I almost came back the second time, on the SAME day!!! :P

I had the barbacoa torta and it was probably one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in my life. The meat was seasoned so well and was so tender; do yourself a favor and get it...or get 5; no judgement here. If you're looking for something spicy, get anything with chicharron. Al pastor... Chef's kiss. And you know the food is good when it still tastes fantastic the next day. I cannot recommend this food enough!

First thing to note is cash only. They do have an ATM machine but it charges a fee. A food truck that is butted up to the orange building is where to start. You order from the food truck then you have the options to take it to go, eat outside on a small picnic table, or eat inside the orange building. Tacos were super delicious and they have a variety of meats and options. The outside and inside needs a bit of work but overall a good place to eat. They do not have traditional waitresses/waiters, only one person in the food truck.

For the quality of the food the price is a bit much. I had a steak burrito and you can see by the photo it wasn't wrapped like a burrito which would normally be ok if the quality of the food was good. Unfortunately the meat and beans were both tough and dry which was really surprising and not at all what I expected from the reviews of this place. I don't know if I just went on an off Wednesday night or what but I don't think I'd try again. I can understand having undercooked/dry beans at a family dinner or party but not from a restaurant/taco truck. Normally dry meat would be excusable if the flavor good but the food was bland. The only thing that had some flavor was the Al pastor meat tacos but they tasted less like pineapple and somehow like sugary coconut. The customer service was a little lacking only because the man serving the food that night seemed very unhappy/exhausted. Maybe that explains the quality and effort into the food? I'm not sure. I'm sure this place is wonderful normally. But this time I tried it I was very disappointed in the low quality and bland flavor of the food. I hope they get better.

We recently enjoyed some delicious tacos 🌮, and the tortas we ordered were some of the best I've ever had in Norman. The food was definitely worth the price we paid, and we absolutely loved it! It was served hot, fresh, and well worth the wait.

its a taco truck tucked into beside an old taco restaurant. if you're coming here for the ambiance then you're wrong. The ladies are very nice and bilingual. I had the pork and carne guisada tacos (forgot to tell them I wanted corn tortillas) on flour. extremely tasty, with onions, cilantro, cauliflower and lime. great taste, good value for the money. comes with peppers, carrots, and red/green salsa. will eat here again!

Fresh a tasty! Very fast service. You can Take it to go but they have seating inside or out. Lines form fast at lunch so be prepared to wait or just call in your order.
