★★★★★ 5.0 Kalel Scheel · Nov 2025

I found this food truck by chance while on holiday, and it quickly became one of the best discoveries of my trip. I tried the tacos first and they were so unbelievably good that I kept coming back. Before I knew it, I was visiting almost every day, determined to taste everything on their menu. Every dish has its own brilliant flavour, made with real care and very generous portions. The grilled chicken was the standout — tender, perfectly cooked, and so uniquely delicious that it’s worth every single dollar I paid. You simply can’t find chicken like that elsewhere. The pozole verde was rich, comforting, and full of depth; the ribs were melt-in-the-mouth and beautifully glazed; and the carne asada was smoky, juicy, and packed with flavour. Everything here — the food, the quality, the port

This place is an absolute treasure. If you're craving real-deal grilled meat with authentic flavors, this place delivers. The pollo al carbón is next-level—smoky, juicy, perfectly charred, and packed with that irresistible backyard-grill taste. The charros beans and arroz that come with it are the perfect complements—simple, and satisfying. But don’t stop at the chicken. Their costilla (rib) sandwich is a flavor bomb. And if you're into tacos, these are handmade tortillas done right with options like pastor, steak, or tripa. Everything I've tried felt fresh, the portions are generous, and the service is always friendly. It's casual, fast, and full of flavor. And if you're visiting on the weekend, try the pozole verde—it’s rich, and comforting. Five stars. No notes.

Chicken was super dry and hard to eat. Tacos were really solid. Excellent tortillas. Adorable space they've created!

Excellent food! So tasty. We ordered chicken tacos and they had all the fixings—fresh! And the rice and beans were excellent too!

I have walked in, called and order thru DoorDash. I have tried several items in their menu and man is amazing! Ribs, Ribs Sandwich, La gringa, and for their hot drinks atole de avena is really good! I’ve notice there always adding more to the menu and it doesn’t disappoint.. they have a cool picnic vibe with, picnic table, TV and artificial grass.. I definitely Recommend!
