Marilina’s Kitchen Gunter: Tacos & Birria Food Truck on N 8th

Marilina’s Kitchen in Gunter is the pink taco truck on N. 8th Street, right across from the Exxon, and it has become one of the busiest lunch stops in town. Locals line up for street tacos, birria, tortas, and loaded elote, and even out-of-town reviewers call it a favorite taco truck stop. It is an easy detour off the Grayson County Line corridor when you want a quick, seriously good lunch.

What to order at Marilina’s Kitchen

Start with the tacos. They come on corn or flour tortillas, topped with onion and cilantro, and you pick from a long list of meats: steak, chicken, pastor, chorizo, birria, carnitas, barbacoa, chicharrón, picadillo, deshebrada, jamón, and tripa. Regulars rave about the birria in particular, and one reviewer called it the best birria in Texoma.

If you want a full meal, the posted menu has plates too: a quesabirria plate, a taco plate, and a quesadilla plate, each with rice and beans. Beyond tacos you will find gorditas, burritos, tortas stacked with avocado and jalapeños, and even a cheeseburger with fries for the kid who does not want Mexican food today.

Elote, snacks, and cold drinks

The elote is a local favorite. You can get your corn in a cup topped with Hot Cheetos, Takis, or Doritos, which one fan summed up as “everything.” Reviewers also mention asada fries and lemon pepper wings, so it is worth asking what is on offer the day you visit. Grab a cold fruit drink from the window to go with it on a hot afternoon.

Good to know before you go

  • Come early for lunch. It is a small truck with a big following, and the noon rush fills up fast.
  • Call ahead on hours. Online listings show the truck closed on Sundays with a shorter day on Mondays, but food truck hours can shift, so a quick call to (214) 973-8244 is the safest bet.
  • Plan on takeout. This is a walk-up food truck, so plan on taking your order to go.
  • Make it a Gunter stop. Camilo’s Tex-Mex is just up the same street if you want a sit-down Tex-Mex dinner another night.
