★★★★★ 5.0 Johana Rodriguez · Nov 2025

Food was fresh and delicious. The prices were reasonable. The owner of the food truck is very welcoming and has great communication with the customers. They are very humble and have great service, they took my food to the car and told me not to worry that he was going to bring me my Alcapurrias to the car with the Mayo Ketchup, I appreciated this since it was so cold and windy. I ordered chicken pinchos and they were juicy and right off the grill. It took a little while but they warn you at the time of ordering but trust me the wait is worth it. You can tell they prepare and cook the food with love. Many blessings to your food business.

Saturday night. My first time there. Worth the wait to cook everything to order made fresh! The poncho de pollo was excellent and a hearty portion. The pastelillo de carne was excellent. Again, hot and freshly made on the spot. Order in advance if you don’t want to wait a little.

The alcapurrias are delicious. I definitely recommend everything on the menu.

Best Puertorican food I've had in NC. The prices were fair, nothing overpriced. The empanadas aka pastelillos were stuffed and the pinchos flavorful. Can't wait to go again.

Fantastic Mexican food. Some of the best I've ever had. Only place to sit is outside.
