“I have been coming here for quite some time and I will tell you that this place never disappoints. Pork carnitas tacos are my staple here, but you can find whatever you're craving. I would suggest calling ahead as it can get busy especially around lunch or in the late afternoon. Great prices and a Hood River Landmark.”

“I’ve been here twice now for my lunch breaks. Each time I’ve gone there I’ve been met with nice and friendly service. As for the tacos they make, I have not had any as good or better in the area. The homemade tortillas alone are enough to keep me coming back. I will be recommending this spot to all my friends. As far as location. Some may consider it a weird location. I however actually don’t mind it at all. It’s a nice and quiet place to put the tailgate down and have a nice meal at the truck.”

“Quaint place open late on weekdays. Really decent family style Mexican food with extensive menu and daily specials. Ordered the quesabirria taco special on a Tuesday - came out hot, loaded up plate, absolutely cheesy delicious, maybe a tad soggy as another reviewer mentioned but I’m not gonna whine about that because the flavor was on point and clearly freshly prepared for our very large dinner party of 15. Can’t speak to other dishes our party ordered other than Lengua tacos my wife had which were cubed meat rather than shredded as I prefer. Flavorful and great tasting house sauces! Overall, food really hit the spot after a hot, long day of travel. Service was polite, patient, timely with hot food, and attentive (even with our large group). Lovely ambience with outdoor patio space, decorations, wall murals and relatively clean bathrooms. Seemed busy enough even late on a weekday, particularly carry out. No complaints, great little restaurant and would definitely return if in the area again.”

“Tacos Poncitlan is a food truck next to Marcos Sports and an auto body shop in a big parking lot just off Tucker Rd. Watch for the Taco flags ! I had a chicken burrito and it was good. Very normal size, flavor, fillings. Nothing fancy or different. Fast service and friendly. Red and green salsas were standard. Neither was very hot.”

“Food was packed with good Mexican flavors. The menudo was perfectly seasoned and the sopes were just like Colima. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Also, food came out quick.”

“Stopped by after a workout at the Hood River Athletic Club next door. So glad I did! I ordered a fish taco and a sopes (requested no meat). Both so fresh and loaded with veggies. The sauce on both was so yummy. And with the red (hot) and green (mild) salsa on top - pretty much perfect (and messy, in a good way lol). Super nice people who work hard. Glad to support a top-notch local business!”

“Salsa was amazing. Flautas were the best I have had in Hood River so far.The inside is not remodeled, very aged, but we did not mind. It gave a "hole in the wall" vibe.The waiter was an older, friendly gentleman.I would go back again.”

“Wow!! Surprised by the awesomeness of this taco truck. Fresh. Great flavor. Great locale. Great price point. Definitely will be back. I’m a local to the area, and this will be the go to for street tacos! Tried pollo, chorizo, carnitas, al pastor, and asada! Flavor was absolutely fantastic. Location is on a bend in the road. Be prepared to turn.”
