“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!“

“This place really surprised me! Great food and vibes. I’m a student at PCC and pass it frequently.

Decided to pop in for a night, and maaaan I’ve been thinking about it since! I got the Mahi tacos and the hibiscus margarita! SOOO GOOOOD!!!! And the staff is also super friendly.

They also offer a student discount, which is really awesome for someone like myself!!!

Definitely worth a frequent visit if you’re a student or a local!“

“My go-to taco truck in the area. It’s in a small lot but there’s free and metered parking on the street. Fast, friendly service. Street tacos are small but filling. Cash only. Meat is well cooked and the ingredients are fresh. Highly recommend. Enjoy.“

“Amazing Tacos and Tortas.
Every time I come here the batch tastes a little different for the salsas and extras, but I feel like it’s always good and allows it to be different in a good way every time.

I get the pastor tacos and asada tortas.“

“THE best birria in town! been coming to Alvaro and his team since the very beginning nearly 3 years ago, and the food has only gotten better. the queso tacos with connsomé are legendary and we love impressing out of town friends with them. there’s always a spread of fresh salsas and accouterments. check Birria Master’s IG @BirriaMaster for hours and specials (they’ll occasionally experiment with different meats and offerings such as lingua, seafood tostadas). plenty of family style seating as well as parking in the lot and street parking.“

“I love their tripe and tongue tacos but they have carnitas, asada, nachos and more. (The belly is soft but golden and the tongue is soft and clean.
There is parking ?️ you can eat them there but standing or take them home.

Parking: It's spacious and some people eat right there.“
