Definitely a must stop! Everything we had was delicious, we got the suadero tacos and the alambre quesadillas. Both entrees were packed with flavor and came with sauce on the side; sour cream for the quesadilla. We waited in the car and planned on walking over once the food was ready since it was raining when we went, but the nice lady running it walked out of the truck in the rain to bring us our food! Great people, great service, great food. Will definitely be back!

Little food truck off the Main Street, friendly staff, delicious taco, taco is nicely portioned. We ordered Al pastor, beef tongue, Mexican sausage and brisket. Price per taco ranges from 3.75- 4.50. They are all very delicious. The taco truck provide seating outside. There are two wood benches. If you pay by credit card, they charge you an extra 2 % Would highly recommend! Nice job!

9/2/2023; Ordered two tortas one longaniza & one carne asada both were delicious best tortas I’ve had in a while. Paid $33 with some cents not including drinks. Will be going back when in the area.

Soooo good! Always hard to find that authentic flavor, but we loved the tacos. The nachos did not disappoint and we definitely ate from the back of the car with back open because we didn't want to wait to eat the goods.

Food was authentic and tasty, however, they loaded way too many jalapenos on the nachos and burrito. It was more spicy than I prefer and too hot for my wife. I asked if the burrito was spicy and they said no. Also a little pricey for a food truck even in Avon. Definitely worth it for a quick lunch but I would ask about the jalapenos.
