“I'm from AZ and was in town for just a couple of hours waiting for my wife to get her tattoo. Across the street I saw this bright green taco trailer so I went... lengua taco was absolutely perfect! Sooo good! $3.00! I went back with my wife and had another one!! I want more!“
“This is my go-to food truck! I enjoy the burrito solo carne. The meat is seasoned very well. They toast the outside of the burrito for that crispy crunch in every bite. Filled with just meat and salsa, I add cheese and creama. I can't say enough about this truck.The service has always been excellent. If I call it in, they know who I am by my order ?. They've always taken great care of me when I go there.As for the atmosphere, there's not much to look at. It's outside, a few tables under a covered area“
“This place is easy to access it’s right in the parking lot of AM/PM. The wait time was decent the service was friendly. I got tacos of asada & carnitas & a chavindeca of pastor.The carnitas were very tender & juicy lacked flavor tasted only the salsa but was good quality meat.The asada my family said was delicious had good flavor & good qualityThe pastor was delicious had great flavor the quality of the meat was ok. I got a lot of fatty pieces. The hand made tortillas are also delicious just a little thick for my liking.Overall I’d give them a sold 8/10. Looked this place up after work because I was hungry & saw a great review from a lady named Lupita only to roll up & realize her name was on the truck. So this is a honest review from an outsider.“

“My wife and I have a 6 month old that got her shots needless to say we had a rough night of screaming and crying... screaming from the baby and crying from us... we woke up dead tired and cranky. We decided to order food from somewhere new and local. We got got breakfast burritos rice and chips, when I tell you this meal saved my marriage I am not being exaggerate what so ever the burritos were so delicious and flavorful! We were amazed and joyous by how good the food was. The rice was amazing and paired perfect with the chips and salsa. I recommend this place to anyone that enjoys good food and a happy marriage. The baby is happy and sleeping and we are happy and full!“
“Best wings in the 209 - yeah, I said it.We are talking fresh, crispy, sAucy, juicy, no frills freaking chicken wangs. Lemon pepper, sweet chili, nash hot...bone in, boneless: however you chicken wing, The Hot Spot is not disappointing. The menu is uncomplicated. You got your wing options, standard sides, and they also offer cheesestakes. Not gonna lie, prices are a lil steep. 10 boneless for $14 dollars, no side or drink but hey, you cannot put price on quality. I usually go for the 6 piece boneless combo for $13 or the buffalo chicken fries for $14. They offer great deals for larger orders, check out their Insta for specials (@thehotspot209).I always made it a point to head to the Tarmac whenever The Hot Spot truck is parked there. Come to find out, they have a whole ass brick and mortar in downtown Merced!!!! Best discovery of 2023. This spot is located between Main Street and I. A good deal of street parking is available. I want to say this downtown location only offers outdoor seating with plenty of shade. These summer temps are brutal so if you don't feel like waiting, be sure to call in your order. Everything is made fresh to order so depending on what you get and how busy they are, there will be a wait. For a small order for myself, I typically wait 12-15 minutes. I heard they just got their liquor license, so I am very excited to pair my wings with a brewkies. Now let's end this 5 star review talking about their 5 star service! My favorite thing about dining local is how passionate business owners and staff are about the product they put out. Everyone here is so friendly, accommodating and are even more of the reason to come back and support.“
