Tacos were on point today ?I can’t wait to try the tamales tomorrow that I bought for my work lunch.

Loved going to this taco truck until today, I found a piece of metal in my taco ?

Excellent price, very good taste, place looks a bit sketchy but who cares, your there for the food.

Best tacos in town great price

Definitely a great spot for good food at a great price. My boyfriend had to run in to get more after we we were done eating.

Owner was so great, hard worker. Great customer service

Authentic Mexican cuisine goo good taste

Incredible tacos. Incredible.I used to run kitchens for a living and I can full heartedly say that with some proper social marketing this truck could turn into a VERY successful restaurant. Easily.Be sure to ask for the hot sauce, it's from scratch and absolutely amazing.

Ok so I want to start this review with saying that the only guy at this taco truck who was cooking and being the cashier is a hard worker and he was cooking up a storm trying to keep up with a long line of orders. I tipped him based on that alone and you can’t take that away from him. But I did have to wait outside for 30-40 minutes in the hot sun for my food. Was never told a wait time so I could be prepared for it and they also only take cash.With that said, this has to be the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had in my life. I had chorizo and carne asada tacos along with an al pastor burrito. The chorizo in the taco was disgusting, it was burnt to a crisp and had no flavor to it. It was like eating the burnt crispy pieces left behind in a pan that have been sitting there for hours. Next, the carne asada tacos were not disgusting but just had no flavor whatsoever. On to the al pastor burrito, it tasted like if you took beef and strained it through paper towel in a strainer and then ate that paper towel soaked in the grease. It was the most disgusting al pastor I’ve ever experienced in my life and is an absolute disgrace to even call it al pastor. It had no hint of flavor of al pastor at all it was just greasy greasy greasy pork with a little bit of tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese. I am in absolute shock that it could be screwed up that badly. My wife had the same burrito and her opinion is literally the same, we couldn’t finish it had to throw it out.To top off the bad food it was served with a lemon and not lime. We are not on a shortage of limes so I’m not sure why you’re serving it with lemons. In the picture I posted along with this review you can see how badly the chorizo is cooked.

Authentic... no need to say more.
