It's only for takeout or eating in the car because there are no tables but it's clean and the tacos are good.

Great food, nice folks speak both Spanish and English. Want a beer to water down your food? The liquor store is ten steps away.There are not enough parking spots, though.

Food was too spicy to eat even tho we told the guy to make it not spicy.. and he was scratching himself on his head and what looked to be his belly ? (I'm hoping it was his belly as I can not see below his neck???‍♀️)

Food is great but the customer service is horrible. Doordash dasher delivered the wrong food and I opted to redelivery my order. I called to ask them if they could please ask the next dasher to confirm my name for the order but the person on the other line started going off on me. They kept aggressively saying it's the dasher's fault and how it's not his problem. I kept reiterating how I'm not saying who is at fault, I just wanted to ask if there could be a confirmation when the hand off happens. It was 20 minutes before they closed and I was really hoping to have their super burrito since I had been craving them all day. But this whole interaction left a sour taste. I really thought this could be my go-to for Mexican but their attitude did not really hit home run.

Great late night eats. Good size serving which was very filling. Friendly staff. Easy to find, next to a gas station and a liquor store. No outdoor seating but there is a tent to stand under during hot or rainy weather.

TLDR: Definitely getting the lengua and asada tacos again if I'm in the area. My sister ordered 3 tacos to go for me on her way back from work, and they lasted the trip down to San Jose! LENGUA TACO: This was so good!! I'm usually hesitant of lengua tacos because some places use fattier meat, but this place had really lean lengua but it was still super soft. I loved it and could've easily eaten 3 of these alone. POLLO TACO: I always try the chicken to see how a place makes it, and unfortunately this was dry. The salsa made up for it but I'm not getting this again. ASADA TACO: This asada was a lot more flavorful than I was expecting. In my experience, most other places don't season asada as well as their other protein choices (no idea why) so I was thoroughly surprised this one carried so much flavor, was a leaner meat cut, and was not dry! OTHER: The tacos came with pickled jalapeno and carrots, but I don't think they were pickled enough. It had a whisper of brine, and was quite dry - almost as if they had just dipped the chopped carrots and jalapeno in the brine. Both the green + red/orange salsas were good and spicy! I thought the amount they gave (2 small containers) wouldn't be enough, but they were the perfect size for me.

The Buche California burrito is really good and I love the Green Salsa Verde. The Asada on the other hand, is a bit dry and this isn't a place where I'd order As again. The Buche is really good though and definitely something I'd be back for. They allow you to call in advance so you can quickly pick it up. The prices are a tad higher than other food trucks around the area.
