The tacos are awesome! We are thinking about eating here again during our short stay in West Yellowstone. I ordered the 6 tacos de al pastor and it reminded me of the street tacos I'd get in Mexico City. Each taco brought back memories of my two year stay in Mexico. The people working here are also great. Very nice... More

You must try this landmark. The food is authentic street style. Go inside the bus to place your order and see the menu. Highly recommended!

I decided to give this place a try based on all the reviews. This establishment is lovingly referred to as the Taco Bus by the locals and it really is in an old school bus. The guy who took my order (I would assume he is the owner based on things he was saying) spoke both English and Spanish fluently... More

My husband ask our campground staff which restaurants they frequented in West Yellowstone. We didn't mean to start a controversy -- one woman from Texas loved the "taco bus." Another said, "Hot." As in good or temperature we asked? It turns out she thought the food was too spicy. A heated discussion followed. We decided to try it for ourselves.If... More

We stopped here based on other reviews and we weren't disappointed. The only thing keeping me from a score of five was that my husband stated his burrito was a little light on the meat. He absolutely loved the shredded beef tacos and my veggie burrito was fantastic. Check this place out!

Taqueria Las Palmitas, or more fondly "the Mexican Bus," is a family tradition now, whenever we visit our extended family in Montana. The locals eat there, the owners are fantastic, and the atmosphere is as welcoming as it is unique. They offer a wide selection of authentic dishes that have all exceeded our expectations. Two thumbs up for "the Bus"!

The food is good and reasonably priced. It is great that you can sit outside during good weather. It is a nice break from the other restaurants in town which are more expensive. Staff is friendly.

You might be wary of food served from an old school bus in a parking lot, but it was the best food we had on our Yellowstone trip! We read the reviews on TripAdvisor, and it was everything we hoped for. If the line is long, don't despair, it's because the food is worth it, and the line moves quickly.... More

Last year I opted for Chinese food while staying in West Yellowstone. This year my wife and I ate big on the Taco Bus. Good choice! I would choose great Mexican food over barely passable Chinese food any day. What a cool atmosphere, just watch your head if you are over 6 feet tall. We got the 6 taco platter... More
