Customer Reviews
Best burrito I've had in forever! I got carnitas. Staying in Palo Alto for work, this truck was nearby, so glad i stopped by!! Very nice people as well.
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. They’re conveniently located by the side of a strip mall of sorts, so it’s 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 I’ll be back here.
Probably the best carne asada taco I’ve 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.
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 van/mobile wasn't there but from what i was planning and with hope in my mind that it would show up, they got there around 11:40am 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 didn't get a chance to try it but from what I saw the majority of the Hispanic people ordering food cont
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.
