In a world where food trucks have become culinary adventures, Don Tacos stands out with its authentic flavors and cultural heritage. With the flavors of Sinaloa, this small food cart offers a wide variety of menu items that will transport you straight to the heart of Mexico.
Obed Rios, the owner of the Don Tacos, and his wife work hard and proud at something they are passionate about, which is representing the food of their hometown – Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico.
Located at 4665 N First St, Don Tacos offer a wide variety of food including tacos like birria, shrimp, and fish, burritos, mega quesadillas, vampiros, mulitas, tortas, and more. Above all, it stands out for its great flavorful meats and their delicious horchata, 100% Sinaloa style.
Don Tacos first opened in 2017. “We started in a gas station with a little grill,” Rios said. “It wasn’t too big, but it worked to make the attempt.”
They received recognition for their food with their customers, and after six months, they managed to buy a cart, which is what we know as Don Tacos today.
Flerida Rivera, a regular customer, said it’s important to support small businesses because as a community, we need to help each other and what better way to support a business than to make it known that their product is worth it.
Pitifully, while creating a following, the gas station in which they were working out of was not spacious enough to accommodate all their customers. As a result of the limited space, Don Tacos had to move from place to place. Due to this, they lost some clients because they didn’t know where they were. Rios had to start almost from the beginning to build their following up again.
“In order for some of my clients to return, I had to go out to the gas station where we were and tell them where we were now with a sign,” Rios said.
“Seeing their faces when they try our tacos and seeing them return… there is nothing better,” Rios continued.
Thanks to the support of the Fresno community, businesses like this have managed to get ahead and make themselves a staple to the public. Because of the support from the community, this family business was able to thrive.
Next time you are looking for something delicious for dinner, remember to visit Don Tacos, get an amazing experience, and try the unmatched Sinaloa-style flavor.
