"It's the best Mexican food truck I've ever eaten. I've been eating at them my whole life and I've never had one as good as this place. The ordinary are ridiculously good! Tacos are amazing and stuffed with steak,they even put grilled onions in the box. The hot sauce is amazing. I haven't had a single dish there that wasn't top notch. Do yourself a favor and stop by. The service is good too. Very fast and very kind people. Especially the guy with the dyed blonde hair."

"I got the Birria Ramen and the elote cup. The Birria ramen was very delicious, warmed me up from the inside out which is great for this freezing day. Plenty of onion and cilantro to top off, a larger container than I was expecting and oh my the meat chunks in it were so tender. The broth is rich, thick, makes you feel like you are re-upping your immune system. The elote cup was good, although the cheese had that more of a grated texture kind of like dried Parmesan in those plastic containers. It was NOT giving queso fresco freshly crumbled."

"This food truck is amazing!! The food and drink are really good. They have a wide variety of things to eat and a handful of drink options. I love supporting this place as it’s family owned and the people are very nice!! They do have outside seating (picnic table)."

"My favorite :) I had been wanting to try this place and went on my lunch break and it did not disappoint. I will have to come at least once a week now I got the barbacoa gordita, and the shrimp, chicken, and steak tacos. I don’t know which is my favorite because I loved them all I actually do come at least once a week and I’m always satisfied. I’ve tried the Birria tacos + ramen as well and it was sooooo good. I also tried the asada torta and it was very good and HUGE so I could save the other half for dinner and was still satisfied after lunch. Everything is always filling and great portions. They’re underrated !!! 7/14- We tried the burrito last time we came and I had Birria tacos and some street tacos and it was slapppp. The burrito was so big and filling and I’ll get it next time I come back."
