Big Truck Tacos in Oklahoma City: Early Morning Breakfast Tacos Built to Order
A walk-up taco counter serving made-to-order breakfast tacos from a food truck parked on NW 23rd Street, Big Truck Tacos opens at 6 a.m. on weekdays and caters to the early commute and construction-site crowd with a focused menu of four core breakfast fillings and prices between $2.50 and $3.50 per taco.
What Big Truck Tacos actually is
Big Truck Tacos operates as a mobile food service, not a sit-down restaurant or even a small permanent storefront. The truck parks in a consistent location on NW 23rd between Penn and May avenues, making it a reliable stop for people heading to work before 10 a.m. The operation is stripped down: you order at the window, watch your tacos assembled, and take them with you. There is no indoor seating, no wifi, and no lingering. This is fuel, not dining.
Menu and pricing
The breakfast menu consists of four rotating proteins: chorizo and egg, bacon and egg, sausage and egg, and a vegetarian option of black beans and egg. Each taco comes on corn or flour tortillas and is built fresh when ordered. Prices run $2.50 to $3.50 per taco depending on the protein, with most tacos landing at $3.00. A single taco is a light breakfast; most customers order two or three. A breakfast combo of three tacos and a drink typically costs $9 to $11. Cash and card are both accepted. Confirm current pricing by phone before your first visit, as food costs occasionally shift prices at small operations like this.
How it compares to other Oklahoma City breakfast taco options
Breakfast tacos in Oklahoma City cluster at higher price points than Big Truck Tacos. The Loaded Bowl, with multiple locations including one on NW 50th, serves breakfast bowls and tacos but charges $5 to $7 per item and operates more as a casual restaurant with tables and a broader daytime menu. Tamashii Ramen + Izakaya on Western Avenue offers Japanese-style breakfast but targets a different hour and price tier entirely. For true budget breakfast tacos made fresh to order, Big Truck Tacos has few local competitors; most taco trucks in Oklahoma City focus on lunch and dinner service. The trade-off is minimal customization and no frills, versus lower cost and speed.
Who it suits and who it does not suit
Big Truck Tacos works best for early risers, construction and trades workers, and people who want two hot tacos in under five minutes for less than six dollars. It does not work for diners who want to sit down, people on a late breakfast or brunch schedule (the truck closes by 10 a.m. most days), or anyone who needs napkins, hot sauce, or sides beyond the taco itself. There is no drive-through; you must park and walk to the window.
What the first visit involves
Find the truck parked on the west side of NW 23rd Street between Penn and May. Pull in, park, and walk to the service window. A menu board displays the four proteins and prices. Order the number of tacos you want, specify your protein and tortilla type, hand over cash or card, and step to the side. Your tacos will be ready in two to three minutes. Take them to your car or eat standing up at the truck. There is no table service and no wait area beyond the immediate window.
Hours, parking, and logistics
Big Truck Tacos opens at 6 a.m. and closes between 9:30 and 10 a.m., depending on the day. Hours shift seasonally and occasionally by day of the week; confirm via phone before an early morning commute. The truck parks in a public lot, and street parking is available nearby. The location sits about three blocks south of NW 23rd's main restaurant cluster, making it less visible than it might be. GPS or a phone call is more reliable than searching by sight.
Big Truck Tacos fills a gap that most Oklahoma City breakfast spots overlook: cheap, made-to-order tacos for people in motion before sunrise.
