Excelente!!! Absolutely delicious tacos, and tortas. I tried all the meats, every single one was great… as were the corn and flour tortillas, and even the bread for the tortas. Truly impressed all around. Took a good look inside the truck (as best as I could) while ordering, and everything looked nice and clean; which is not always the case with these food trucks.

These tacos are amazing and definitely a great value for the price—you really get a bang for your buck! The quality is excellent, and the meat is perfectly seasoned. I recently had six tacos with cheese, and they were incredible. The salsa had a nice kick to it, and the cilantro and onion were fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend the tacos, quesadillas, and their tortas.

The burrito is Incredible! 10/10 in every single way. It melts in your mouth. It’s absolutely delicious. The fajita meat is well seasoned and their grilled onions are delicious. The salsas are spicy but good. I’m so glad we decided to give this place a try. Will be back again!
