Jan 30, 2026"Tacos were good! Saw all the hype on Instagram and while they are good, the Al Pastor was not great, sadly. We were really looking forward to it. The mulitas de asada were great. Customer services was solemn... nice truck, nice set up, nice variety."

Jan 20, 2026"Banger taco truck. Parking a mild pain because it's a busy area. Great atmosphere. Review is only on the al pastor tacos since that's all I got. Great $2 tacos with a fantastic filling to price ratio. Nice selection of salsas. Love seeing that trompo spin. Horchata was also nice. After some delicious tacos, go up a few blocks to the churro truck."

Dec 22, 2025"THE BEST!!! This is our favorite taco truck anytime we are craving asada fries, tacos or alambres!!!! I am using exclamation marks cause this place is the freaking best!!!! The asada fries (you can actually get any meat you want) come loaded with nacho cheese, shredded cheese and sour cream. They don’t cheap out on the amount of meat they put on them either. They have a salsa (green, cuac and red) and veggie bar (cucumber, pickled onions and sometimes radish). You get to pack or load your food with the items that you want from the salsa/veggie bar. For our most recent order we got half carne asada and half tripa and a large horchata and our total was $20. Highly recommended!"

Dec 14, 2025"Late night taco truck with some great sandwiches. Torta Cubana is $9 sandwich filled with asada, ham, suadero, sausage, avocado, and a fried egg. It is big enough for 2. Tacos and burritos are quite good as well. They provide sliced radishes, pickled onion slices, and cucumbers on a small table outside."
