I stumbled onto this taco truck and was excited since I was starving. I noticed there were no prices listed, nor what they were offering. Having eaten Mexican food for several decades I just took a stab a couple chicken tacos. The two tacos were more expensive than my overpriced neighborhood of Silver Lake, and honestly the worst tocos I've ever eaten. The tortillas were tasteless, soggy AND greasy. The chicken portion was small and very so so. I was so disappointed. I had hoped to discover some secret amazing taco truck, and instead, wished I kept driving. I reluctantly ate the not yummy chicken and tossed the disgusting tortillas. I almost never write reviews, but this time the bad meal really made an impression and a hole in my stomach. Unhappy!

First time here, I thought I'd stop by on a late night craving. I really liked their salsas, and the flavor of the meat was perfect not greasy, it taste as if thought it was cooked on a BBQ grill. I would try it again. The customer service was great.

There's no menu on the outside of this truck, and I couldn't really even tell where I was supposed to order, so I ordered from their website even though I was standing right there in front of the truck. Their system sent me a link to a confusing status page. After 45 minutes of waiting, I realized that the status page said my order had not even been confirmed yet. There was a phone number for troubleshooting, and I called it to cancel, but no one picked up and it went to a voice mail box that had not been set up. After almost an hour, I get a message saying that the order is confirmed, and that it will be another 45 minutes before it is ready. I told the staff in the truck to cancel my order, but five minutes later I got another message saying my food is ready. I go back to the truck, but this time I can't even get the person in the truck to make eye contact. They ignore me when I ask if my food is actually ready, and I walk away empty handed. A few days later, I see that they charged me for it anyway.

I am so disappointed in this place! I would give them 0 stars if I could! Check your orders, you order stuff and pay for food but they will not give you what you pay for! I ordered tacos, horchata and a shrimp quesadilla! With an Horchata! Shorted us on the shrimp quesadilla and the drink! Called the number listed, no answer. Went back the next day and the lady says! I remember exactly what you ordered and you did not order that! Simply go elsewhere! Or check your stuff before leaving!

Terrible. Worst meal I've had in LA. I should have known based on the reviews, but my friend said that it was pretty good. We had a late lunch so the meat had been cooking for a long time. The chicken was dry and super crispy and didn't resemble anything edible. I also added an avocado for $1 extra and it was the smallest sliver of avocado. Razor thin! The entire burrito was just really bad and I would not come here again.

this place is delicious!! their meat is not too oily and very flavorful. the sides are delicious, but the green sauce is quite spicy, so keep that in mind if you have low spice tolerance. great experience, i will be back

Ordered take out. Asked for cilantro+onions+peppers+limes, only got lemons. Beans were very dry and the rice as well. Ingredients taste old. Would not order from here again.

Walked in out of nowhere and bought a peace pipe with nothing but change, and I had no problems with my purchase. A little hoody but it was a cool transaction ?.

They made me wait 20+ minutes, freaking ridiculous! I came in around 10:50am & it was only my order & someone else, was not even busy! It shouldn't take that long for only 4 tacos! Also cashier was no where to be found, Took a while for me to place my order. This is Bad for business.They barely get any customers, next time I rather go next door to them.

Took too long, was expensive. Would recommend the Fish Tacos. Friend got El Pastor burrito... was on the beany side. He said 2 stars.

The sign on the truck advertises a $5.99 Torta. I ordered one and got charged $11.50. Then they gave me two tacos instead. By the time I got my order right I had spent 30 minutes standing around inhaling generator gas fumes. Should have gotten pizza.

This is my FAVOURITE taco truck in LA! Love the chicken tacos and taco Tuesday is legit

Walked up to place my order and the guy was ready. Ordered two chorizo tacos, one steak taco, and one shrimp taco. All were superb. The sauce on the shrimp taco had an Asian twist to it, similar to spicy Mayo but slightly different. The chorizo had an amazing taste that many Mexican restaurants seem to lack. Had no problem giving extra red and green salsa to accommodate me. I'd definitely suggest for a late night snack/meal.

Absolutely worst food truck I've ever had! They made a mistake on my order. I ordered 7 tacos and when I got home I only received 4 tacos. Also, the meat was old tasting and dry. The tortilla was breaking apart while eating also. I'm sorry I would never come back here. I usually don't like to write too many reviews but I had to for this. Wasted $50 on nasty food.

The burrito I had completely tasted like leftover ingredients that were put together. Rice was hard and avocado tasted old. Also the title of the food item menu is misleading. The service from the people working the truck also seemed lost and rude. Never ordering again!
