We've heard from people living in Gwinnett County about this food truck off of Highway 316 in the Atlanta suburbs and had a chance to try it while in the area. I recommend it. I'm a foodie and have tried places with inexpensive food like this and places with food that costs in the hundreds of dollars. The thing to look at is what kind of food a place offers, and if it's a good version of that particular food. Really expensive food can turn out to be poorly executed and disappointing, and inexpensive food can be delicious.

This is authentic and loaded with flavor. You wait for about 5 minutes for something that is hands down more healthy and tasty than Del Taco (it's OK) or Taco Bell (what passes for edible is questionable) would be on their best day. You don't find something made tasty with whole ingredients like this in your average US gas station, either. Stand aside Mr. Blimpie with your huge bread and boring flavors. The tacos, mulitas, and quesadillas are made fresh and the salsas are delicious. The topping options are raw onions, grilled seasoned onions, and cilantro. They have mild salsa and very spicy salsa. Aside from Lolitas which is also easily accessible from Highway 316, this is another authentic place to find food.

They park a food truck along the side of the parking lot, and they must keep pretty busy because in mid-afternoon around 15:00 (3pm) there were people there when we arrived and more when we left.

I don't have food photos, just a receipt photo showing what the street tacos and mulitas cost. One person can have enough with two tacos and a mulita, and don't forget to ask for grilled onions. They cook them until clarity and tenderness and they're delicious on the food along with the salsa.

It is a perfect fall Saturday too, not hot or cold and gorgeously sunny.

Don't take my personal experience as yours. Figure out what you think by trying it yourself. They're really nice people too, and double check at the pickup window side before giving your order to you to make sure you have the toppings you want. They're serious about those $3 street tacos (corn tortilla about the size of the average adult hand).

Parking: Lined spaces around a small gas station strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: Covered picnic tables next to an expanse of mowed grass along Braselton Highway on the other side of the lot from High Hope Rd“

“Fun place for a nice Mexican meal. Be prepared to describe what you want made and they will make it. I started with an O G steak bowl, but I was quickly out of my league with complimentary ingredients, so the young lady behind the counter fixed a delicious bowl for me. Nice seating outside, so you can appreciate the town. Great place to meet friends and have a beer or mixed drink and a light dinner. Parking can be challenging during busy times.“

“Todo delicioso con un sabor auténtico como q fuera echo en casita 💯 recomendado Los Putacos súper sabrosos la carne bien jugosa con un sabor único venga no se arrepentiran de probar esta deliciosa comida aquí en Sabor latino“

“Best tacos al pastor that I've ever had. If you ever had them authentic, you know that they've got to come off of a rotisserie and they've got to have some char on the edges. My God these were so good I wanted to ask the cook if she was married. The only other alternative was to have gone all all Johnny Depp to restore the balance and I couldn't do that. You won't be sorry that you came here to eat. I know it doesn't look like much but I've found that the best street tacos are always in a hole in the wall.“

“Nice employees, but management stop with the drive through time gaming. Coming to the location and asking after pulling up to the window to either back up off of the drive through timer sensor or pull forward off of it and wait to be called to get back in front of the window is ridiculous, and this time there was no other car in the drive through.
Either way, it's very annoying and for people who know what's going on, a real turn-off to the business location.
Drive through time is meant to show how long customers wait for orders. If people can't keep up, you need more people.“
