Q´s and A´s About Us
What motivated you to start this business?
​
Tacos El Lobo was esablished from a dream. A dream that is a realllity now. To begin, we are originally from Cholula, Puebla, to be more accurate, from Santa Maria Acuexcomac. In our hometown most of the people is dedicated to the "carnitas" sale.
We wanted to bring the authentic tacos de carnitas to New York, to make the people who eat our tacos de carnitas feel at home, such as we feel when we enjoy them too.
We did start selling on the sidewalk, outside our own house, giving away samples to walkers passing by our house, and in time, our community embraced us very well, and little by little and with effort and dedication we were able to open our first food truck in Corona Avenue
How did we got to our name?
​
As all good Mexicans, our family is a soccer aficionado and our name is derivated from a soccer team with Poblano roots called "Lobos Buap". Our history starts there, the owners of today´s "Tacos El Lobo" they had a soccer team that used to play inthe Flusinhg Park fileds, where several of our family members played there. But thru the years they had changed positions, for instance " El Delantero" (forward player) is today "El Taquero", "El Medio" (midfielder) is today "El Tortillero" and "El Entrenador" (the coach) is now "El Empacador". In conclusion, the name "Tacos El Lobo" it´s a reflex of hard work and constant effort where "El Lobo" (the Wolf) represent us.
What set us apart from other food trucks and restaurants from the area? ​
What set us apart from other food trucks and restaurants from the area is our authenticity in Carnitas Poblanas (Poblano-Style pork deep fried meat) which is our Specialty. Something that highlights us from other places is that in Tacos El Lobo we offer a rather unique menu, where our most beloved and more reviewed "CEMITAS" has been a subject of debate, because the locals were used to the ´regular´ cemita as we all know the cemita (done with lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc.), but we decided to put the authentic flavor of our natal home town Cholula (in Puebla) were the cemitas are done with your choice of meat and only onion and cilantro (string cheese is optional). Remember that -some times- less is more, don´t keep the doubt for yourself, we invite you to come and try it. ​
Besides of Carnitas, what other specialty do you have? ​​
Besides of Cemitas, Tacos El Lobo offers an ample menu of of tacos and cemitas of:
-Buche
-Rib
-Tongue
-Pork Ear
-Pork Skin
-Braised Pork Meat
We also offer side orders such as grilled cactus leaves and scalllions, and on weekends we do have BBQ, Sheep´s Belly Soup (Black) and Consomé.
How did you achieved the carnitas´perfect recipe? ​
One of the creators of the perfect recipe for carnitas made a trip to Mexico where he learned the authentic Poblano style carnitas´seasoning from a family recipe. ​​
