“Honestly I’ve been coming here for years, and the food is always affordable, and delicious. The chips and salsa are kinda meh, but I go there for the actual food, and always skip out on that because the chips there aren’t very tasty. If you’re looking for super authentic then you might be disappointed. Now it’s not full blown Tex Mex, but it definitely has its influences on some of the dishes. The tortillas are homemade, and the staff is nice. Parking can suck at times.“

“One of the better tasting taco trucks in the Pasadena area. Good lighting in the main parking area, but this place is so good you might have to park on the other side of it too.
These guys were busy when I went, but they still got my order 100% accurate and even thanked me for stopping by.
WHAT I LIKED THE MOST... they give you a restaurant buzzer(pager) to let you know your order is ready so you can wait in your vehicle! Kept me from standing outside and dealing with mosquitoes coming at me like I'm a buffet.
The food was so good too! We have finally found a great taco truck closer to Deer Park and La Porte!
When you go... Check out there pizza!“

“The waiter Huber basically told us what not to order. NOTE When you come to this location bring your own silverware, we had to share a knife among 3 people. The enchiladas & steak, more like a slice of brisket drenched in a salty cheese sauce. Awful!! The beef enchilada, unflavored ground meat, again drenched in a red sauce WITH cheese. Cancun tilapia again with cheese and 8 tiny cocktail shrimp - no garlic sauce The plate was hot but not the food. At 8ish on a saturday night they only had 3 or 4 tables, no more than 12 people, including us 3 If they were starting to close for the day, they should've close the area they were cleaning. I don't appreciate smelling 'Fabuloso" while I'm eating with the mop bucket next to my table. Really your motto should be "Why are you still in business..." Marked as 1st and last on places not to visit. Overpriced for the food quality“

Salsa given with it was a little spicy but very good. Elote was delicious. Used mild sauce on top. Limonada was good but to sweet for me. Can be cut with water to make more. Nowhere inside to sit and dine. Will return to try other items. Friendly cashier. Bows, purses, jerseys, and other items for sale. Small parking lot.“
