****Late post I use to see the traffic at this truck and think what could possibly have this place this busy during a pandemic. I decided to see what it was about. Absolutely delicious! A few pictures of our purchases. We eat here at least once a week. Pros Cooked to order Delicious Authentic Mexican Food Friendly Staff Cons Loaded Chicken Taco is not always consistently made Language Barrier makes order placing longer

I was looking forward since it’s street tacos and coming from a taco truck sounds amazing, tacos were warm and smelled grate, the meat was flavorful less had the stake and pork it was somewhat disappointing, they did not had any desserts, the esquites were good.

The chicharrón tacos had no business being that good. I lived in Texas for years and never had tacos this good ever in my life. Just.. WOW! 🥹

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Taylor Melendez · Apr 2021

I've been coming to this truck since they posted up there. The food was amazing and portion were decent. There was a man and a woman who were there in the beginning and did an amazing job. I'm not sure if they left but their replacements have decreased the experience. Food portions are lighter. Esquites came in a medium size foam cup but now come in a child size plastic cup. No more jalapenos with my order or cilantro unless you ask for it. They've gotten popular but due to their rise in popularity I feel the quality has decreased significantly. It's not the same as it was in the beginning. Food is good but quality has declined.
