We have walked by several times and finally decided to try it out. They had several: vegetable, cheese, corn, pork, chicken. $3.50 each, 3 for $10, and one other bulk deal (can't remember). 0.75 extra for sour cream (in individual container in a ice chest), salsa is free. Fast, friendly service. We got the pork, chicken, and cheese. A little dry but remedied with salsa. Large portion. Cash preferred, but they can also take Venmo in a pinch.
