Love this taco truck. They have the most authentic tacos ever, reminding me so much of SoCal, my home state.
They do NOT put potatoes in your food! When I'm close enough to them in the area, they are the first place I hit for, SOFT CHICKEN STREET TACOS and they have the BEST *HOT* SAUCE EVER to go onto your tacos!

Worst Carne Asada tacos in the state!!! I’ve been to multiple taco trucks and these guys by FAR have the worst cuts of meat.
So crazy Chewy, too much fat, so bland not worth it at all.
The chicken tacos were decent enough.
But don’t ever come here for Carne Asada.
Not to mention they are cash only so that’s also really inconvenient.

This sounds like an exaggeration, It's not.
This is one of the best meals in Des Moines.
I've never had a burrito like this anywhere else.
I grew up in Southern California.
I've eaten a few tacos.
This place is amazing.
The picture is of the carne asada burrito.
It's not steak, it's ground chuck - you won't care.
You won't want a steak taco after this.
The hot sauce is amazing.
How good could taco sauce be? Pretty dang good.
As of summer 2022, one of these burritos is eight bucks.
Don't have eight bucks, split one with a friend.
It's a big burrito.
Everything else is top notch.
Don't like burritos or tacos? Get a "torta".
If you haven't had one, it's a big sandwich - almost as good as the burrito.
