I would have given 4 stars in the past as I live down the street and every couple weeks enjoy grabbing a truly massive and damn tasty burrito. But going $13 to $15 to now $17 for a cart burrito is just too much. Damn shame
This is my favorite burrito spot as a veggie eater. Their veggie burritos are actually created to be delicious and not just a substitution/removal of meat components. Something happened to their vegan/veggie chalk board menu but they have loads of options if you ask. I go here frequently and the quality can be hit or miss…. When it’s a hit, it’s a veggie lover’s dream burrito. When it’s a miss, it’s still a good burrito.
Fish taco was bomb. Burrito was expensive. $15 is cray. I asked for veggie burrito w/ fajita veggies. Just no meat, add grilled peppers and onions. Simple. Got chicken because he said he couldn't do veggie(I just prefer veggie). Bit down on bone in the burrito so couldn't finish it. Blah. Just a lot of dough for a burrito and street taco....$21 for 1 burrito and 1 taco.
Best tacos and horchata in Portland!
Still in 2024!

Not only has this truck persevered and pivoted but their food is quality. I remember when they showed up and the food was tasty, accessible and easily modified. And you have always been full for less than $15 which is next level. Put this spot on your delicious food truck map.
EDIT: Also to anyone leaving a bad review for this place? Eat glass. They’re working to manage at least two trucks and they’re a family. Find some empathy, you goblins.

The Al Pastor tacos were great! They were very patient with my mom even though she was giving them a bad time about the wait while they were especially busy. They gave us additional tacos for waiting and were really nice. Would definitely eat there again, great price too.

I am obsessed with their fish tacos. They are huge, well fried, and the chipotle sauce is killer.

I don’t know how they’re even in business, blows my mind how bad and flavorless and dry and just GROSS the tacos were.

Delicious tacos, maybe the best in town. I had one each of carnitas and al pastor with their salsa. The meat was juicy and flavorful.
I ordered a vegan burrito and they gave me someone else’s order with chicken and sour cream. I didn’t realize until I got to the sour cream partway through the order. F these guys. Updated from previous review on 2023-11-05

Rice was very bad, tasted like old and reheated multiple times. Beans were good. Their sauces are good! I ordered a carnita quesadilla and there was barely any cheese in it and a small amount of meat that was cut too big to be in a quesadilla. Plus, there was a piece of plastic with the meat ? I even checked the plastic fork I was using to see if it had broken but nope.

Absolutely tasteless food. Chicken tasted like it was boiled and left alone, zero seasoning and tough. The rice is just as bland, it doesn’t even taste like rice but more like oatmeal with nothing in it. The salsa was the only flavor available and it wasn’t enough. Amazingly bland. How can they justify doing this to perfectly good food?

Gave a $20 for $14 quesadilla, got $5 back, asked for the missing dollar only to be told “no that price is wrong” and was given my money back when I said they need to show the right price.
