“Lydia, my waitress provided an excellent service. She was very friendly and attentive.
The only thing that will mention that they should be more attentive is that I was given a dirty spoon 🥄 and the potato🥔 soup was cold, the rest of the meal was great.“

“The food here is SO GOOD, and for some background I’m from California so sorry not sorry, I know good tacos.

I had a craving for tacos a few weeks ago, and some of my favorite tacos have come from food trucks. I get to this truck, located in a small gas station parking lot, and realize they only accept cash. Backing up a little bit, a man who had just put in his order was there and I asked him, “oh do they only accept cash?” And he said “yeah” so I said “oh darn” and I turn to leave. He stopped me and offered me cash to get something! I told I really just wanted like 2 tacos so I ordered and he paid for them (so kind!! thank you kind stranger!) As I waited he vouched for them saying they’re food was the best and I said I’m so excited because I love tacos (I love Mexican food in general but LOVE me some good street tacos).

I had ordered their standard carne asada tacos and OMG THEY WERE SO GOOD. I didn’t have one criticism, they were not dry, meat was perfect, their salsa was good, exactly what I’ve had back at home.

I went back again another week and had their tacos al pastor which didn’t disappoint either wow. Phenomenal tacos, if you’re looking for authentic street tacos they got you, I can’t wait to try other items from their menu now!“
