“Well seasoned. Meat was a little dry but the marination was top notch. Tacos held together well, there was an average amount of meat for the price, mild salsa was stellar and the limes weren't too dry. I kept looking at my takeout box on the drive back home because it smelled so good.This is not inside the gas station as Google might make you believe. This is a truck to the side. Signage could be more visible.There is one bench and one table in the area. Very much a takeout place. I would come here more often when I'm in the area.“
“They were set up for a wedding venue. The food was phenomenal! From smoked trout to start and onto the Mac -n- cheese, thai chicken sliders and potato salad and so much more! Everyone at the wedding was raving about all the choices! It was SO good!!! Thank you!!!“
“I can't say enough about how amazing Francis is! Outstanding food and drinks! They have the BEST Spicy Margarita that I have EVER had! Their drink menu has so many cool and unique cocktails that are different from any I have had before. Then there is the food...I literally think about the Chicken Sandwich daily. My daughter went 3 times the first week they were open, and continues to go weekly! There isn't an item in the menu that I've tried that is anything less than AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend everyone tries it! You definitely do NOT need to be a vegan to love this food. Trust me, TRY IT! You'll love it and will ABSOLUTELY be back for more!Vegetarian options: The entire menu, including drinks, is vegan. No meat or dairy products, so perfectly suitable for vegetarians!“
“I would recommend to anyone unless you’re soulless and only eat potatoes, and maybe then I’d even still recommend.Great tacos, everyone was friendly. Plenty of parking. Tacos were ready quickly. Just five stars. Thanks!Note- I had one of each: asada, pollo, carnitas, pastor. All were excellent- topped with cilantro and onion served on a corn tortilla. Salsas we’re spicy and verde. Both were awesome.“
“This taco truck has delicious food! The tacos, burritos, elote, quesadillas and rice and beans are all so yummy! I'm sure everything on the menu is great! I usually call ahead and pick up our food. The staff is always so nice and friendly! I wish I lived closer!“
“This is such a cute cafe with amazing food! Counter service with self serve water. The staff was very friendly and speedy with my food. I highly recommend the pork. It was soo tender it just fell apart. The seasoning was subtle with just the right amount of saltiness. The rice and beans were bland but were a good carb to soak up the juiciness of the pork. The sweet plantains were perfect in every way. They had beautifully crunchy bottoms from being fried. The arepa con queso was good. There is a sweetness with the butter and maybe in the corn masa itself. Its very dense and rich, i would recommend splitting with a friend if possible.“
“This food truck sits in the corner of the parking lot of the former Kohl's/current temporary USPS. From what I can tell, it's open everyday from lunch to late night. Whenever I drive by it seems to be open! You can park basically right next to the food truck - super convenient. There's not places to sit but you can take it somewhere else or sit in your car! I went for the first time recently and ordered 2 mulas and a mandarian Jarritos all for $10. They take cash and card. The food came out really quickly. I've never had a mula before and I really loved it! I got lengua and asada. It was generously filled with the meat and was also cheesy with a crisp but soft tortilla. It came with 3 different salsas which were spicy but so good! Overall really solid Mexican street food. Looking forward to future trips here!“

“Always a joy to visit West Indies Soul Food. They have a food truck and a booth at the Minnesota State Fair. They keep cooking up delicious treats every year. The jerk chicken pizza and the jerk pork chop on a stick were both amazing! Great food, authentic flavor, and a friendly crew. I’m excited for the upcoming restaurant location! West Indies Soul Food is a must have in the St. Paul area.“
“We had to make some last minute changes and reach out to El Jefe to see if they could assist us with our grooms dinner. Everyone was amazing through the whole process and very accommodating. The food was incredible and served fast. Even with the 100 degree weather Miguel made sure we had a great time. Thank you El Jefe!“
“What an absolutely ballin pie. They have their oven dialed in perfectly and their toppings quality is second to none. I highly recommend the turk to anyone with even one adventurous bone in your body as that egg elevated it to a whole new level. They are also reasonably priced at 10 - 13 doe a pie. This is now in my top 3 pizza joints in MN.“
“I am always on the lookout for good Tacos. Pinged my buddy for any good ones he knew and he sent me to El Tacotorro and I was not disappointed! I got three tacos, Pastor, Pollo, y Carne all fresh, hot and delicious. Que bueno El Tacotorro, que bueno!“
“I've had plenty of different taco spots but none can compare to this one! Favorite tacos ever, if I can't have these tacos I don't want them!!!Parking: Always have parking!! Sometimes it can be a little busy but it's worth it!“
“This food truck has great food and conveniently located off 42nd Street. There always busy, you can pre-order and pickup as well. Ambiance 4/5 Food truck is conveniently located outside right off 42nd. It's right next to a liquor store if your so inclined to grab drinks and food to go! I always felt safe, never any sketchy business happening. Outside of the traffic, it's a pretty quiet area even in the Summer. Food 5/5 Have lots of options. I ordered the melons, Elotes, drink, and rice and beans. Cost 5/5 Altogether I paid about $15 Service 5/5 Always friendly and helpful when providing a drink carrier. I was informed they take preorders which was nice to know! Overall 5/5 great place if your in the area and on the go!“
“I made an impulse stop at the Central Ave location when I was running errands in the area a few months ago. Everything is so good...the ingredients are fresh, and the service is always super fast. I've been back several more times and am always impressed.“
“The place doesn't look much from the front, but the atmosphere is actually quite nice once you walk down the hallway (passing the glass wall behind the bar) and into the main restaurant. On warmer days, the patio looks like it would be an excellent place to hang out. The main part of their menu looked like a build-it-yourself type of thing. Pick tacos, burrito, quesadilla, etc. Then you can pick your protein, style, and sauce. I ended up choosing a Burrito Bowl with Carnitas Street Style. The food tasted great. It was obviously made with fresh ingredients. I was surprised later when I looked at the menu again and saw that it cost me an extra dollar to get the Burrito Bowl, thus saving them the tortilla. I wish the waiter would have mentioned the up charge, although I probably would have gotten the bowl anyway. As I do at most Mexican restaurants -- well, all restaurants -- I got an unsweetened iced tea. Much to my surprise, they charge for tea by the glass. No refills. Again, mentioning this when ordering would have been helpful. Personally, I have trouble paying $4 for iced tea in my at Starbucks... but at least I get free refills. Here, the glasses were much smaller, and again, no refills. At least the tea here tasted good. They checked me out tableside using ApplePay, which was nice. I didn't get an itemized bill. And I'm not quite sure if they tacked on a gratuity or not. Unlike normal, they didn't turn the POS terminal around and ask me to enter a tip amount. Bottom line... not sure if I will go back or not. The food was good. So was the atmosphere. The food was reasonably priced. What may keep me away is that each tiny glass of ice tea (tiny, by my standards) is $4.“
“If it were not for Potters Pasties, I would not be married. They are the best of the best. They are better than the pasties from Michigan and have various flavors and types. Thank you very much, and the food is very yummy. I will come back many times.“
“I love this family and I love this food truck!The Mexican steak tacos are my favorite.Realistically, though everything that I order off of this truck is fresh and delicious.If you want authentic Mexican food they have it. If you want a hamburger and fries they have it. I ordered the nachos today and will order them again.The sauces are my favorite and if they ever bottle the sauce I will buy it!“
“The prices here are very good and they have a good variety of options available (including ground beef tacos which most taco trucks don't have). The 3 meats I tried (steak, chorizo and ground beef) all tasted good but in my opinion, there are better options available nearby in the taste department. The super hot sauce (pictured) is amazing though. I love spicy food and this really made the tacos taste great. If the meat was better, it would have been perfect!I got 5 tacos and 2 Mexican Cokes for $21 so pretty cheap compared to other places.“
“Hmmm… pretty good. Ribfest offerings were aplenty and the pricing was quite fair. I really liked the mac n chz. However the ribs themselves were very small and therefore dry. The pickled things on the side were an absolute withered joke. Got all three sauces and they all tasted the same (seriously? No white BBQ??) I much prefer the juicy ribs from Boomin. But Boomin and Animales both used frozen corn in their elote salads. Serious question, do you guys think the public is braindead? My first bite was literally still-thawing corn with Parmesan flavor. Dilly beans and banana pudding get full marks. Biscuits definitely needed salt. But seriously. Get it together where it counts guysEdit to respond. Bruh that corn was not charred at all which is necessary for esquites. Hence the frozen vibes. And you know what I meant about the cheese. Cotija or queso fresco, whichever you used.“
“I love this place. My daughters and I recently visited and had a wonderful experience. They have a set menu but you can also build your own ice cream and almost every topping you could imagine is available. The line was really long when we arrived however, it moved so quick we didn’t even care. It is very cute inside as well so be prepared for a great pic. Would definitely recommend!“
“This deli offers delicious Filipino food! There's an option to choose ready-to-eat food "turo-turo" style, but for the most satisfying and delicious food, order from the cook to order selections, like Lechon Kawali. This is a family-owned business that offers quality and delicious Filipino food.“
“Truck was at Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative and I had the Cubano on Pita with fries It was absolutely delicious!Classic spicy cubano ingredients on grilled pita. Mwah! Hot, fresh fries, which i ate with the drippings from my sandwich.Fast service, great food! If you see this truck try the food!“

“We managed to stumble upon this food truck when trying to find Costco. I was surprised to see a food truck open in February so we had to stop!And boy, were we glad we did. The steak tacos are excellent! If we happen to find it again, we will stop.Parking: They were stationed at the Costco.“
“Food is delicious, the sauces make it even better. If you’re a fan a spicy sauce, their orange/red sauce will hit the spot. Love thier menu variety, and they always have friendly staff. Great prices for good quality food and large portions!“
“Always enjoy the juicy chicken tenders from Nashville Coop. First time visiting their food truck since 2020. Still as good as I remember with the same quality as their brick and mortar locations. All kinds of spicy levels are covered here so it’s something everyone can enjoy. So far I’ve tried MN Nice, Mini Coop, Coop, and Growlin’, all solid choices depending on my mood. The Texas toast, dipping sauce, fries, and pickles all elevate the chicken tenders.“
“In town for work and walked nearby to grab lunch at Hibachi Daruma. I ordered online and it was ready within about 15 minutes. I had the Chicken & Tofu hibachi combo and made them both spicy. Great flavor! It was a really nice mix of traditional hibachi with a spicy/sweet glaze. Great lunch!“
“I got a brisket plate with a side of creamed corn. The brisket was really tender and had a great smoky flavor. I was actually blown away by the flavor of the corn. It was phenomenal. I'll definitely come back to try more of their menu options.“
“Pretty good food! Most items on the menu were the same standard selections you see at every Mexican restaurant. I asked for suggestions and they recommended the burrito or chicken torta. I went for the torta and wasn't disappointed. Tasty and fairly filling. Service was quick and staff was friendly. The building is an interesting layout. The bathrooms are down the hall in the basement and there is an attached grocery store with a very limited selection of items. Like just the essentials and some candy. Prices are reasonable too.“
