I was surprised. The reviews for this place are glowing, yet we had a very different experience. I got a BBQ chicken burrito. It was about 75% yellow rice with 15% chicken (which on its own was pretty good but not great) and the rest was lettuce. It lacked most of the ingredients that burritos generally have — no cilantro and onion, NO BEANS, no cheese, etc. — and as a result it was extremely bland. The tortilla had the texture of cardboard and the rice was dry. My friend got a loaded beef burrito and her girlfriend got some chicken tacos which were similarly bland. Maybe it was an off day, maybe we didn’t have the usual cook, maybe they were out of ingredients, maybe some of the other reviews are fake—I don’t know— but the food we got didn’t remotely resemble how good the reviews say the food should be. In addition, it took about 25 minutes to get two burritos and two tacos.I would not recommend this place for the tacos/burritos. I felt swindled and unsatisfied.Vegetarian options: None

This is the best Taco truck in the city. So much more then tacos as well. Everything is made by hand and with love. The sweet lady that runs the truck makes the experience so much better .

I'm new to town and a friend brought me here first. I really loved their burrito so I always come back. Their ribs and BBQ are also divine!

Mrs Tree is the sweetest lady ever, and you can definitely taste her love in the food. We had the steak, chicken and shrimp tacos. The shrimp was definitely out of this world!

Stopped by on my way home last night with my puppy after having a few beers. I got 2 pork tacos that were delicious, but the best part is the nice lady gave my puppy a huge piece of the end of the smoked pork. It made both our nights!

If you are ever in or around Richmond, VA (also, if you are in the southeastern USA or on planet Earth)...you MUST go by this little foodtruck with BIG FLAVOR, Tree"s Tacos and tips . In this little alley, behind a Mexican restaurant, are 2 of the kindest, friendliest, most welcoming ladies that I have ever met...both with big smiles and even bigger hearts. We were soon greeted by the aroma of slow, wood cooked ribs and sausage...the scent which welcomed you to Pork Heaven. We ordered Rib Tips, a Steak taco, and a BBQ Chicken taco, which came with rice and beans. The Rib Tips were some of the best I've ever tasted...soft, tender pork, charred in all the right places, slathered with a thick, rich bbq sauce. They couldn't have been better and the portion was beyond generous. The tacos didn't fail in flavor either. If this cornucopia of food wasn't enough...they brought us another side of rice and beans as well as sausage for us to try to see if we liked it...for FREE! They sincerely appreciated our visiting and said so a number of times as they conversated with us throughout our time there. I just HAD to hug the owner before we left. You will not be disappointed if you go by...I know I surely will when I visit Richmond again.

If you want a good ole fashioned authentic taco, this is the place to go. No extra frills- just amazing food. The service was amazing and the lovely woman working the shop is great. If you have ever lived in Cali, Texas, etc and you’re missing authentic Mexican food, come here.

The food was worth the drive for sure. I enjoyed meeting and talking to Mrs. Tree. Must stop place for sure. She cleaned our table and brought us our food. What an amazing place and woman. Seriously the place is better then any chain restaurant.

This is my favorite place to eat in all of Richmond. An unassuming food stand that just makes the best food. The 3 chimichurri steak tacos comes filled in a box to the brim with sides for a very reasonable price. The burritos are bigger than your head and every bite was a new and exciting taste. Love this place so much, and wish everyone would give it a try

The lady was super friendly but the food is horrible. Had their burrito chorizo was the only thing in the burrito that had any flavor. The fish tacos was like eating napkins. Drinks were not cold but the atmosphere was freezing because there's no building. The ambience would have been really cool outside had the food been good. Oh and did I mention this cost me $32. I wanted this place to be good but the short answer is it is not. Let me say again the lady was wonderful but this place needs some menu rework.

The best hidden spot in shockoe. The owner is so amazing she gave me a cup of soup to stay warm in the cold when I first moved here while waiting for my food. Truly a wonderful soul and amazing food! Try the bbq tacos and rib tips Wheelchair accessibility: Walk into an alley

Solid food truck run by a sweet lady. I've not had anything bad here. The burritos are ginormous, I always have 1or 2 days worth of leftovers!
