Chops Taco food truck came to my workplace today so we decided to place an order. We ordered the mango habanero & pork carnitas tacos to share.. cannot mix the choices :( .. I wanted to try their crunchwrap but it wasn't available ...Also, the prices are standard for a taco truck ( 3 tacos for $12 ). These are not made like authenic mexican tacos ( cilantro & onion / green chile sauces / sides for decor ) but it was really good! Similar to how I make mine sometimes,...

It was amazing. I could not understand why the white sauce was so delicious.This food fed my soul. My ancestors are happy I ate here. Sincerely, don't just buy, inquire on catering.
