Taquería Malverde

About This Establishment

The taco bus vibe hits West Yellowstone with crackly tortillas and fast, direct service. Pollo a la Diabla spits heat while Pollo al Ajo delivers garlicky heft; Camaron a la Diabla leans into brine and spice. Tacos and burritos hold their shape, while the outdoor setup invites you to grab a burrito and park it with a lawn chair across the street.
