I have only eaten from the trailer, but it’s better BBQ ribs than some of the so called BBQ places. The staff is friendly always and very efficient with the buzzer for when your order is ready. The price is in line with most for the quality you receive. When I’m lazy and want it right now it’s my go to spot! They have cured my fears of non traditional indoor dining from an outdoor spot. Keep up the good job!Parking: Look for the red building and the aroma of grilled food.

One of the best burritos I have ever had. Currently operating out of a food truck right next to the restaurant.Friendly and quick service with fair prices. Everything you available is delicious and packed with flavor.

Delicious!!!! I haven't had tacos this good in a long time. I loved the carne asada tacos. The steak was cooked perfectly. Topped with onion and cilantro, and sides of tomatillo salsa and avocado crema. I had the taco dinner, which came with 3 tacos, refried beans, and rice. The beans were really creamy and tasty. The chips are fresh and crispy and the salsa is deliciously spicy. Excellent and friendly service. They come to Batch Brewery on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Coming back from Belle Isle we stopped at the Taqueria El Rey food truck. Their smoked chicken had been our favorite before their fire. We ordered the whole chicken. The price is still reasonable and the chicken is still the best! We ate it in our car in the parking lot across from their food truck. The smoky, juicy delicousness of the chicken is just as good as their previous brick and mortar spot. We highly recommend them!

I had 4 corn tacos, and with the sauces being not super spicy yet so flavourful, it can appeal to everyone! It came with limes, onions, and cilantro and even some chopped radishes! It's very tasty and so worth giving a mega huge tip given the affordability! They are also considerate of those getting to go as the whole tray was wrapped in a plastic bag in the carry out bag. PLEASE support this cash-only business and give them a try. If only more parking was available, but what can you really do in this part of town? Only sub-5 rating I gave was the atmosphere, as you are subjected to the elements. (but more like 4.5/5!) I'll be back to give their chickens a try someday. Love how the grill is right there in the open so you know it's fresh! ???Best corn tacos I've had, hands-down.Parking: About three-four spots available in the area, most other spots are taken up by cars.

Went to the taco pop-up they do at batch. Took two hours for them to tell me, and more than a handful of other customers, they lost their tickets. Waitress was rude and offered no resolution besides "Do you want your food or not, well give me your order again". Overall 1 star establishment and pop up at batch.

Ordered one burrito, was waiting for 20 minutes, asked them if everything is fine, they responded they have no rice. I got a refund, nobody even said
