I tried this restaurant last night, I liked the speed of the order, it didn't take long, and the food is delicious, but the quesadilla had a lot of cheese, which covered up the flavor of the chicken. The tacos were very delicious, and they served a lot of appetizers with the meal. The place is great and clean, and there are tables to sit in. I liked the lady who works there a lot, she is very helpful. I recommend it 👍🏻

Waited over an hour for two of the four people to not get our food. Not worth the wait for the subpar tacos.

Great place when you need late night eats. Just FYI it is a food truck, not a free standing restaurant.

Worst chicken quesadilla I’ve ever had. Chicken tasted like it came out of a can. Never left a review somewhere before that’s how awful it was.

Best tacos I've had in North Carolina.. I think personally 99% of the tacos I've had in this state were terrible by the standards set from my home state... but these are by far the best I've had since arriving here 5 years ago. They use double tortilla which most places sell their tacos at like $3-6 and give you one tortilla with soggy either salty or flavorless meat. These guys are great especially for the price.

Tacos are packed with filling and double tortilla’d!!

I ordered asada, pollo, and barbacoa- I wish they were more juicy overall, but would definitely get asada again. I think pollo was bit more dry than the others.

Ample amounts of cilantro and onion provided. The grilled onions they add are so scrumptious.

Food was quite honestly not good quality. They tried to pass off salsa with a bit of avocado in it as "guacamole", and when I pointed out it was not guac, they said they didn't have enough good avocados. But they could have told me that when I ordered it or offered a refund or free soda or something. But no. Chicken burrito was not horrible, but probably one of that worst I've had in recent memory. Chicken ground into a fine mush instead of cubed, so no texture. Lettuce and tomato on the side which was totally useless. Burritos are usually pretty hard to screw up.Staff was friendly and service was fast enough, but due to the quality, I will not be returning.

Went here Saturday night and got quesa birria and 7 other tacos. I *love* Mexican food, particularly tacos.The chicharron tacos were pretty good, not great but satisfying enough.The birria was only decent, the meat was chewy.The pollo taco was mediocre, a little flavor but the meat was dry.The rest of the tacos (cabeza, asada, buche) were flavorless *and* dry.All around disappointing because I'd heard some good things from friends so decided to overlook the reviews that talked about blandness.Don't make the same mistake I did. Next time I want late night tacos, I'd eat Taco Bell over these. At least I wouldn't be spending over $30.

Food taste good, unfortunately they put every plate in the microwave before sending it out the window. Why.?? It just seems like they have it pre cooked and then they make the tacos and heat it up in the microwave. Never will go back. That’s a disgrace to serving food to
