“My mother in law and her boyfriend brought my husband and I here right after we got married 😂 so, I may be biased because now it holds a special place in my heart. But, the food was good and the service was fast. I really had no complaints. They have a kids menu so my daughter was able to get her normal chicken and fries.

“Fabulous food!!! Amazing portions!!!! I moved here from Portland Oregon and since I moved here I have been on the hunt for Mexican Food that reminds me of my PDX joint I use to go to. This food is amazing and flavorful. I am very very picky with food. I eat a bean, cheese, rice burrito with red and green sauce religiously. Super flavorful and I can tell the quality of ingredients they genuinely care about. This is the first time I have found a place that has made a perfect replica of my favorite simple burrito. I will back forever as I eat a lot of burritos. My man eats chicken quesadilla and he also was blown away and will also be back. We are beyond impressed and I will be recommending this food truck to everyone 🔥🔥🔥“

“Bisteck a la Mexicans was awesome- tender steak with peppers & onions, rice & beans. Lots of meat for little $$- 1 to go container gave 3 meals worth of meat with just adding some additional beans. Don’t be intimidated by Hispanic focused shopping center and Spanish menu-hostess was very friendly. Only quibble is I would have liked more rice and beans. Unlikely to eat in, modest dining room, but great to go food“
