This spot is a local one. They've grown and grown through the years and we love them here. The food is mexican style. The tacos are 1$ still after at least 8 years. Easy ratings. It is a food truck that's permanently parked. They don't try to be anything other than that, and that's what makes them great.There's a wide range of food options. I think they have 15 options give or take. Tamales. Tacos. Nachos. Burritos. Normal fare. All hot and cooked right then. This is a Mexican food truck. If you're expecting more, don't. It is what you expect and I think we all love for that. You'll get some cooked onions, cilantro, and meet with your tacos. Corn tortillas. Verde (green chilies sauce) or rojo (red peppers). Both are spicy. A pepper cooked. A slice of cucumber. There's a few drink options like Arizona tea and mexican coke.Service is just what you'd expect. The people are nice. There is a small language translation. They can speak English well enough to take your order accurately. It is a bit loud outside of the truck between the people, music, and equipment. Then broken English and noise make the ordering exactly what you'd expect. Just deal with it and grab your tacos. If it is an issue for you, don't come to this spot. This is the taco truck. It is what it is and we like it for that.The atmosphere was also described above but to expand, this is just slightly above a parking lot. There are wooden benches to smash the tacos and move on. It can be breath takingly hot. Not in the stunning beautiful way. In the central florida hot way. They have some cover but this is asphalt and road. It'll be hot and have biting bugs at certain points of the day. There'll be road noise and you're in the parking lot of a pawn shop. Again, and for the last time I promise, this is a taco truck. Please don't confuse it for anything else. We enjoy having this spot and they deserve all the best. The tacos are hot, well cooked, and made to order. They're still a dollar after forever and they haven't changed.I love this taco truck and I hope they never change. If you want some street tacos, this is one of the best spots.Vegetarian options: It is mexican food out of a truck, almost everything will have touched a surface with meat. I'm sure you could order only veggies on your food but I wouldn't pick this place to try that out. Better to skip this one if you're very finicky about this.Parking: Plenty of parking. This is in the parking lot of a pawn shop. It kind of shares the space but it is definitely sharing the parking lot with the pawn shop. I am sure the taco truck does far more business than the pawn shop.Kid-friendliness: Depends on if you're sitting down to eat or not. I see people there with their kids all the time but make sure you read the review. It gets hot outside. It is loud. It is near a road and in the parking lot of a business. This is a spot where you eat and move on. You can sit and eat but that's your choice. Having kids there too may suck.Wheelchair accessibility: It would be hard for someone in a wheelchair to order. The window to order is pretty high. I'm assuming since I am not in one but I'm short (5'7") enough to still have to yell into the window myself. I don't know if it is an issue but just be prepared to possibly have to raise your voice significantly. The parking shouldn't be an issue. Or navigating at the table area.

Great food and great prices. We did the $1 tacos. You get your choice of meat with any of the choices. We did asada/steak and chorizo/spiced sausage for our meals. With bottled coke. So delicious. We ate under covered and clean picnic tables. I had coworkers swear this place was awesome, but I only just now tried it. Sorry I didn't try it sooner. So good. Thank you Taco My Friend.

The busier they get the less they care about how they treat people. The lady can be very rude. The food doesn’t taste as good as it used to and the wait is ridiculous even for call ahead orders!

I love the food here. Always fresh and delicious. Their service is pretty fast as well. Sometimes I order 10 tacos at once and they still only give me 2 sauces like when I order 2 tacos. Every-time I ask for more sauce they say no I have to pay a dollar and give attitude. Not cool. At this time I ordered one $1 taco so I can get another hot sauce. Now I order my tacos separately in orders of 3 at a time so they cant play with my sauce. It’s sad that I have to do this, it’s more work for them and they have to give me more plates, bags and limes this way, but this is they only way I can have enough sauce for my tacos. Still 5 stars bc I like the food but they need to stop playing games with their sauce like it’s running out. They started adding water to their hot sauce and charging a dollar for it. I still love the food and support them but I had to say something.

Possibly the best street tacos that I’ve ever had in history. The food seems to be better around noon and before 3

Been driving pass this place for year and I heard alot about so I decided to stop in.. I have to say the food itself was ok at best.. what really throw me off was the onion maybe if they was grilled it would have gave it more favor and a better taste. The green sauce didn't help any.. all around I give a 4.5
