Our Family, Our Food, Our Story

Taqueria Espartaco is a family-run Mexican food truck in Farmington, Minnesota, led by Julio Caballero.

Our story began in a restaurant kitchen. Julio started cooking professionally in 2018 while running his restaurant. On May 15, 2026, he launched the Taqueria Espartaco food truck. The restaurant has since closed, and today our business centers on the truck and catering.

For Julio, starting the business was about getting ahead and sharing his cooking in different places. His children and brother help run Taqueria Espartaco, making it a family effort. The name Espartaco was inspired by his interest in Greek history and discipline.

Our cooking is inspired by Mexico City and Ecatepec. If you’re curious about that influence, Mexico City’s official guide to street food offers a look at the tacos and everyday foods found across the capital. Here at Taqueria Espartaco, we prepare our own salsas, birria, carnitas, pastor, rice and beans.

If you’re visiting us for the first time, quesabirria, tacos de asada and burritos are three of our most popular orders. Browse our menu to see what you’d like to try. Whether you’re stopping by for your own meal or feeding a group, we’re happy to talk through the options.

You’ll find our regular Farmington location at 957 8th St, located at Amcon. We also offer pickup catering, delivery and food-truck bookings for gatherings. Visit our catering page to explore the options, or call us at (612) 235-1944 to talk with our team.
