Food was decent.
We ordered the Al pastor and the mix meat.
Mix meat is definitely the better option here.
$3.00 a taco.
Salsa were very good and very spicy.
We did find a dead cricket inside the cucumber tray so that was pretty off putting, but ya know, it’s an outdoor truck where they leave food outside.
Parking is horrendous.
Very little space to actually park and the parking lot area is right off of an extremely busy road.
Hard to get out once you park.

Good tacos, El pastor was the best.
Chicken not so much.
Place is open late till 3am.
good vibes

Oh man, I really wanted to like this place but I think the reviews led me wrong 😭 I'm a huge foodie and this place has had my interest for a while with all the high reviews.
Unfortunately, most of our food was lacking in flavor (even with the added salsas).
We had 5 different tacos: trompo al pastor, campechano, tacos de albanil, barbacoa, and the bistec.
We are trying to kick off eating at all the taco trucks on the taco mile and thought this would be a good place to start, with all the other options, I may not be back for tacos (but may try their tortas).
The meat itself was just lacking in flavor, I always want my tacos to be more bold, but hoping it was just an off day.
Not terrible, but just okay.
If you prefer milder seasoning, maybe this place would maybe be a better fit for you. Side notes, not a lot of parking, outdoor covered seating, cash only, but the staff were awesome and friendly.
I think the tacos were also priced higher than other trucks in the area.
