Wow, what an experience with El Pobre! Alfredo catered our engagement party, and the spread he created was absolutely fantastic. The variety and flavor of each item were incredible, and Alfredo went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He made sure we had everything we needed and that our guests were thrilled with the delicious options. If you want to wow your guests with mouthwatering food and outstanding service, Alfredo at El Pobre is your go-to. You won’t be disappointed!

Food is good enough, customer service is nonexistent. Now I know why he is called the poor man, because he has a poor attitude.

I have visited the El Pobre food truck on several occasions and want to share my experience. The food is really delicious, especially the wings, which have become my favorite. The quality of the dishes is excellent, and I always leave satisfied with the taste.

However, I must point out that the attitude of the owner leaves much to be desired. On one occasion, I asked for a recommendation on what to try, and he responded brusquely, saying that everything was good and that he couldn't recommend anything specific. Another time, when taking my order, he informed me that it would be the last order he would take, which made me feel rushed and uncomfortable. There was also a time when he simply told me that he couldn't complete my order.

I believe that with a bit more friendliness and willingness from the owner, the experience at El Pobre could be much better. Great food should go hand in hand with quality customer service.

The food is really good, but the person who runs the food truck needs to improve his attitude, I always serve in a hurry and it seems like he prefers to go home to sleep rather than sell. I have bought him food several times now and he warns me that he is leaving and I am one of his last orders. The truth is that it is uncomfortable and I would prefer that you deny me the sale.
Even so, I plan to continue buying their food because it has very good seasoning, it's just a matter of improving their attitude.

The brisket tacos are the best you will ever have!
The homemade salsas are fantastic.
The tamales during the holidays are giant and the best you can get.
Family run business by great people who take pride in their food.

I stopped by on a whim. I am so glad I did. The brisket taco was so freaking good!! I live 45 minutes away from El Pobre. I will definitely be making the drive again to try more of their menu.
