More Tacos in Dallas: Moto Taco Delivers Tacos by Motorcycle!

Another day, another taco joint in the news. Hark, this one has a hip, cool twist. You check out their menu, which changes daily, place your order online, and one of the three groovy dudes at Moto Taco jumps on his motorcycle and delivers them. They offer breakfast and lunch tacos and pickup tamales from La Popular.

Here’s their pitch:

We’ve spent many long hours wishing for food we didn’t have, settling for scraps at the office canteen, rushing out to hit a crappy drive-through or waiting hungry for a cold, expensive, and late delivery.We figured there were quite a few other poor bastards stuck in cubicles, feeling the same pain so we decided to do something about it.

Brilliant! We placed an order for today and will report our findings.

  1. Would prefer to know their delivery area and how to order online. It’s not explained on their website. I’m sitting here in my cubicle in Las Colinas trying to figure out what to order for lunch.

  2. Sounds like a great idea. Nothing mentioned on their website regarding a minimum order or service charge for deliveries.

    As we’re still in soft launch, we haven’t made it to Las Colinas on our regular runs. I spent about 7 years working in Las Colinas and know that it’s sometimes difficult to get out for lunch because you usually have to drive and there’s a lot of traffic that time of day. That said, Shoot me an email (mac@mototaco.com) and we’ll make a special trip. I’d love for you to try some of our tacos! – Mac

    There’s no minimum order if we’re planning to deliver in your area on a particular day. If we have your contact info, we can let you know in advance. As we’re still in soft launch, we haven’t cranked up social media yet to announce the areas we’re delivering in for breakfast or lunch on particular days, but we will be doing so in the near future. And there’s no delivery charge. Feel free to shoot me an email (mac@mototaco.com) if you’d like us to come by. Thanks! – Mac

  5. [...] Yesterday I mentioned Moto Taco, a new breakfast and lunch taco delivery operation. We placed an order and Mac, who calls himself the Chief Taco Jockey, showed up with tacos. After his arrival was announced over the intercom, Mac was surrounded by 30 hungry workers. I felt bad for him. He was obviously overwhelmed at the response. Not only did he take orders, he processed payment. And he ran out of food. Needless to say, Moto Taco is still working out the kinks of their new business. (They have partnered with the kitchen at La Hacienda on Henderson.) I asked my office mates to send in their reviews which are listed below. I tried the carnitas and, other than the soggy tortilla which I see as an inevitable problem with their vision, the filling was tasty. However, I love the concept of office delivery and what I shall now refer to as “cubicle cuisine™.” [...]

  6. I’ve had the opportunity to have Moto Taco’s awesome concoctions in our office recently, and I have to say, they have the best chicken taco that I’ve ever had, hands down. The combination of sweet and a little spice from the red and yellow peppers compliments the asian flavors of the chicken very well. Keep up the good work Mac!!!!
