Description [edit me!]

Tacos Don Memo features some of the best mexican food you can find on campus in a small truck between KoJa and 7-11 on 38th Street. Be ready to pay a lot for the food because the prices are nearly double that of other mexican trucks on campus. This is somewhat justified by the freshness of the produce and the amount of sauce they include on a burrito. Beware: only ask for your food to be hot if you have a high spice tolerance or a sugary beverage nearby. -AG

Tacos Don Memo is the don of all food trucks on campus and belongs on top. It's the best food on Penn's campus no doubt. -Leo Saavedra

Tacos Don Memo is a great food truck. The food is delicious and the ingredients are all fresh. I really like the pastor tacos, so if you eat pork, try them. Don Memo restaurant just opened too. It's located one block from 69th street (on garrett road) Just 15-20 minutes from university city. BYOB... -Ben Franklin

As a California transplant, I have to say that this is probably the best Mexican food I've found on this coast. Only get the Torta if you are ready for a great food experience and the largest food coma you've ever had. -Aaron

FYI, apparently the Don Memo restaurant is at 57 Garrett Rd in Upper Darby (block from 69th Street terminal)... if the food is half as good as from the cart on campus, it's totally worth the trip!! -RB

You'll have to wait, but boy is it worth it! Marinated meat, fresh vegetables, and an amazing hot sauce that's made daily. Why get guacamole from other burrito joints when you can go to Tacos Don Memo and they will cut open a fresh avocado and put it on your burrito (for no extra charge, mind you). The burritos are huge and will put a smile on your face. If you think you know burritos, you don't know anything until you try this place. -Fen Branklin

On the slow side, but TOTALLY worth it. Unfortunately, they're not open for the summer, but apparently they have a restaurant in Upper Darby... -Jess

burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrritos! The men who work here have provided a new reason to love life. I cried tears of joy when I first ate from this food truck. It's almost blasphemy to eat Mexican anywhere else... -BURRITOS

Best food on campus. No joke, if someone offered me a meal at Tacos Don Memo and a meal at White Dog Cafe, I would take Tacos Don Memo in a second. -Ben Franklin
