I loved the chorizo huarache!! The food is a maybe a bit pricey ($19 for a huarache and gordita) but the seating area is beautiful and the food is quality👌. Will come back one day

Honestly, really good. I’m usually disappointed by Mexican food in NC, but this food truck did not disappoint. Take it from me, I’m the child of a Mexican mother who makes really good food. I got the asada burrito 🌯 and it was delicious. The workers were super nice, greeted me with a smile, and there was even a cute kitty 🥰 outside that I’m assuming lives there. Highly recommend.

Best Mexican street food I've ever had. Extensive menu. Highlights: * Chicken tacos: the juiciest shredded chicken you've ever had. Great with the salsa Verde and squeeze of lime * Tacos de tripa: dank, barnyardy, chewy tripa, sweetened with a bit of caramelized onion, brightened by a squeeze of lime and sprinkle of cilantro. The salsa picante adds a lovely kick with fruity taste. * Burrito de lengua: room temp burrito stuffed with unctuous lengua, shredded lettuce, sour cream, tomato, refried beans. Really one of the best burritos you'll ever have * Chimichanga de campechano: a warm, spiced, fried burrito of cesina, sausage, and chicharron. Fabulous with sour cream and the salsa picante. * Huarache de asada: crunchy fried tortilla boat filled with carne asada, lettuce, tomato, refried bea

A couple people highly recommended this truck so I had to try it out. The prices are pretty cheap and the staff are super friendly. The food was soo good. I got the vegetarian chimichanga+taco and my friend tried the sheep taco and pork burrito. I don’t even know how to describe the flavors. You have to go here. And the hot orange salsa was seriously hot! Get the green or red if you can’t handle spice.

This is my go to taco spot in Chapel Hill! The barbacoa is delicious. Perfect for a quick bite to eat but we also ordered ~200 tacos for a party and they were awesome!!
