This place is good. The last time I went it was for the tacos in 2013. I'm back in the area and I had a really sad experience at Chipotle the past week so I tried the carne asada burrito. I'm glad I returned; this place was quick to serve up on a lunch break and the burrito held up while I was enjoying it. It was fresh-tasting, well-proportioned, and, at a great price!

BEST TACOS EVER!!!! These are some of the best tacos I have had in America. This taco truck is located right behind a bar called the Hotsy Totsy, in a tiny parking lot. It is a popular spot so the line can be very long, but the service is quick. Parking right infront can be hard since it's usually busy, but parking in the general area (not on the busy street where the shops are) is easy since it's very residential. The tacos aren't super cheap but they're also not super expensive, I think they're reasonable and I'd honestly pay anything for these tacos. They are so amazing. The homemade red and green salsas they give you are to DIE for. The red once is much more tomato based but with a pinch of acid to balance. They also give you pickled jalapeños, carrots and onions, that pair PERFECTLY with the rich, juicy, meaty tacos. The meat here is just perfect - it's everything you want and more in taco meat. The Al Pastor is my personal favorite, it's extremely juicy, rich in flavor, perfectly charred/cooked and not fatty at all. The carne asada is also so flavorful and perfectly cooked. I'm telling you it's some of the best meat you'll have! The burritos are also delicious! You don't pick what's inside, they just come with pinto beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, meat. But, it's the perfect combination. I recommend the Al pastor burrito, super meaty and decadent but also perfectly balanced. The corn and flour tortillas here are so soft and good too. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend coming here. These tacos are AMAZING!!!!

Friday night plans included drinks at Hotsy Totsy before a near by concert and the universe aligned to give us the best taco truck ever to pregame with our mezcal margaritas. We ordered two carnitas, Al pastor, and chicken for six tacos total. Tacos are $3. We were surprised to find that we got carne asada instead of carnitas. The tacos are so good they come with two different kinds of salsa but we didn't even need them. I can't wait to return...

so found this taco truck on yelp and had some tacos. I had Carne Asada. My son had Pastor and we both loved them. They're fast friendly, great pricing and so tasty had to come back and get round two. Definitely recommend you to come and try out some of these tacos. You'll be glad you did because they taste super delicious.

it's been a while, grabbing a torta and tacos. They, in my opinion, have the best tacos and tortas. Everything is fresh, juicy, and perfectly cooked. This is a food truck, and no credit cards are accepted . The service is quick unless it's a late night where you might have to wait a while.

I absolutely love their tacos. It's now $3 per taco and I still think it's worth it. This time I got an al pastor, lengua, and cabeza. My favorite was the lengua taco. The meat was so tender. I would definitely get this one again. Al pastor was good but the meat was a little on the dry side for me. Cabeza was also enjoyable but had slightly more fatty chunks than I would have like. Regardless, I still enjoyed their tacos and will definitely be back to try everything else on their menu. Ask for some jalapeños on the side for some extra crunch. It's cash only Lengua: 5/5 Al pastor: 4.5/5 Cabeza: 4/5
