“ Finest handmade tacos and burritos served from a food truck, offering authentic Mexican cuisine. Experience the comforting taste of a homecooked meal. ”
“ Probably the best carne asada taco Ive had in my life, meat was cooked perfectly and complemented well with their green sauce. The al pastor was also good they make it fresh with their own trompo! Good prices and quick service. Good place to go for a quick lunch and have some takeout food for the office. ”
“ Amazing tacos! We had vegetarian burritos, chicken taco chorizo taco. All the salsas were so nice! So glad to have found this place. ”
“ Great flavorful tacos and Spanish styled food that. I heard from a friend that this was the place to get the authentic street style tacos and was he right The tortillas were handmade and that really makes a difference in the flavors of a taco. The meats were neatly cooked and not over done. When I arrived the vanmobile wasnt there but from what i was planning and with hope in my mind that it would show up, they got there around 1140am and I was second in line after almost going to the chipotle down the street I was served up and eating at 12. Tacos are two dollars and a burrito is nine. They have a special meat that I noticed on the menu, boche, which I was told is pork belly. I didnt get a chance to try it but from what I saw the majority of the Hispanic people ordering food contained it. So maybe next time Ill give it a go. They accept cash and card as a form of payment so you can buy as much as you want. What I ordered here is four tacos of chicken and it is covered in onion and cilantro with this mildly spicy green avocado sauce. The food was delicious and the experience was priceless. I will be back and I do recommend that you give them a try even though they are in vehicle in a parking lot. ”
“ Truck the best in the area. Has a trompo for excellent al pastor. tortillas by hand! seriously very very good! Accept no substitute there are several trucks right around. No seating. ”
“ Handmade tortillas are the best. Tacos are delicious. owners are very nice and friendly. ”
“ Saw this cute taco truck while stopping by Best Buy stopped by for a late lunch. The tacos are larger than expected, and on handmade tortillas! Delectable and oh so delicious. Very good value. I will be coming back soon! Al pastor and pollo were my favorites, but they were all nice. The optional spicy salsa is very hot and nice! ”
“ This is a great family run place that continues to deliver. We had the chicken tacos, Al pastor tacos and burritos, and all of them tasted great. The burritos are quite huge, so you can easily split them across different meals. My friend also had a Mexican coke, which hit the spot too. Their service is prompt, and they accept both cash and cards for payment. Theyre conveniently located by the side of a strip mall of sorts, so its easy to find parking as well. One thing that we noticed was that their address on Google maps is different from where they actually were on the day we went, so it would be a good idea to call them up first and ask where they are located on the day that you plan on visiting. Overall a great place, and Ill be back here. ”
