Their shrimp tacos are the best! The slaw is tasty, the salsas are bright and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. I also love her tamales, when she has them! I come here every week, they are always kind and I never wait too long for my food. Thank you !

Carnitas are amazing

The al pastor tacos are out of control. I come here often and they’re always surprisingly good.

I’m not sure what these other reviewers are talking about. Came here on 11/4 at about Noon food was not good.Burrito was bland: mostly rice, see photo (photo was of second burrito we tried just to make sure it wasn’t just mine, and the picture is first bites but it’s about the same ratio all the way down); chicken in burrito is bland; greens in burrito seem liked that cheap bagged stuff I buy at the grocery store; it was the most underwhelming restaurant burrito I’ve had.Tacos were burnt and crunchy: most beef was burnt crispy, but the few pieces that weren’t were good, and only one taco shell (give me two like everyone else).Chips and Guacamole: chips great, guacamole not great, more cilantro it seemed than avocado.I paid $55 for 2 burritos, 4 tacos, and chips and guacamole. Will never come back here. Maybe they have another cook on other days justifying these great reviews but today this was no bueno.

I usually write positive reviews, but my experience here was incredibly disappointing. I called in an order, hoping to quickly grab, but the worker started making food once I got there even though there were no other customers. This is understandable, but beyond this, the food quality and service was overall poor.My burrito was mostly rice with a small amount of tasteless chicken and very few diced tomatoes and lettuce. It was sloppily rolled and food was spilling out of it.I also had a taco, which was small portions with super burnt meat. The limes were hard, not ripe, and almost juiceless.The guacamole tasted good, but it was mixed with what I think is sour cream and lots of cilantro…so not a lot of avocado included. Overall not good.Then, I only got one small salsa for 2 items plus chips.I have never seen anything so poorly prepared at a Mexican restaurant or food cart in my life, and I regularly order this type of food when I do get the chance to go out.Eating out is expensive and a treat, and this experience was NOT worth it sadly :/

Great carne asada taco. It comes with some unusually thick slices of crunchy cucumber, line, and dangerous green salsa.

Sooo delicious, AMAZING variety, veg-friendly, and run by 2 really amazing ladies. This place was recently added to some local Eater list and I am sad more people may encroach upon my secret spot but also glad for them as their food is delicious. Have not tried everything - the burrito was a little steep for what it was, but the mushroom gordita is my favorite thing; I crave it all the time as a vegan/vegetarian.

very very good shrimp taco

I had the barbacoa burrito, it was good. Meat was a little dry and the portion was a little too small in my opinion. I enjoyed the sauce. If Im getting charged 30 dollars for two burritos and a drink, maybe include some

Was looking for tacos in the area. Found this spot on Google and I was surprised that it was a food truck. Mexican street tacos are a fave for me and my husband. We sat at the benches that was set up right by the truck. It was located right in front of a mini mart convenient for drinks. We had a great time! O and food was good especially the empinadas!Features: I mean, its a food truck!
