Very well priced and super delicious. The best carnitas I've ever had! That says a lot as that's my go to meat with Mexican food. Customer service great too. Stop here, you won't be disappointed. Also got a chicken and al pastor taco... all 3 delicious. Green sauce great too!

The taco plate was SO delicious!! I highly recommend the carnitas and the fish. We loved our meal so much, we went again the next day for breakfast and got the breakfast burrito. Again, SO good!! Best food truck around!

Solid Mexican food. Nothing super crazy or fancy, just well made flavorful food. Ordered a chicken super burrito and it was great. Red and green salsas are good but regular. Lady at the counter was nice and food was ready twice as fast as I was expecting, as in super fast, wow that was fast service!! Burrito was wrapped well and stayed together until the last bite.

They raised their prices yet again . . . now the same as a sit down restaurant. The food is great and I will go again, but not frequently like before when I could eat for 10. All good things come to an end.

We stop here whenever we're driving through town and have always been impressed with everything we order. The tortas are delicious and filling! I can usually get two meals out of the burritos because they are so large. The workers are always friendly and you don't have to wait very long for the food.
