    Two chicken and two queso enchiladas were absolutely delicious with the sauce ranging from mild to very spicy

    Absolutely generous and delectable tacos (I got pollo, asada, and carnitas). I waited less than one minute for my food and it was piping hot and juicy. I love the roasted jalepeno- each bite ranged from mildly sweet to painfully spicy. The lime wedge provided ate NOT dry and shrived- also super juicy. There is ample lime juice for multiple tacos. Neither salsa was spicy and a welcome addition!

    Their tortillas were great.

    They take contactless payments and have a ton of options! One taco is $3, other menu items are ~ $10-15.

    A couple people highly recommended this truck so I had to try it out. The prices are pretty cheap and the staff are super friendly.

    The food was soo good. I got the vegetarian chimichanga+taco and my friend tried the sheep taco and pork burrito. I don’t even know how to describe the flavors. You have to go here.

    And the hot orange salsa was seriously hot! Get the green or red if you can’t handle spice.

    Best Mexican street food I've ever had. Extensive menu. Highlights:
    * Chicken tacos: the juiciest shredded chicken you've ever had. Great with the salsa Verde and squeeze of lime
    * Tacos de tripa: dank, barnyardy, chewy tripa, sweetened with a bit of caramelized onion, brightened by a squeeze of lime and sprinkle of cilantro. The salsa picante adds a lovely kick with fruity taste.
    * Burrito de lengua: room temp burrito stuffed with unctuous lengua, shredded lettuce, sour cream, tomato, refried beans. Really one of the best burritos you'll ever have
    * Chimichanga de campechano: a warm, spiced, fried burrito of cesina, sausage, and chicharron. Fabulous with sour cream and the salsa picante.
    * Huarache de asada: crunchy fried tortilla boat filled with carne asada, lettuce, tomato, refried beans, crema, and sharp cheese. Fabulous.
    * Gorditas: the gorditas are fine but are better at Taqueria El Bajio.
    * Tacos de cabeza: unctuous, meltingly tender meat from the cows head. Pair with the salsa roja.

    * Al pastor is good, has a slight piña hint but better at Doña Lilia where they use chunks of pineapple

    * Chicharron is fine but best at City Bus.

    * Torta cubana is good and it's huge. Practically 2 meals.

    * Torta de milanesa is like a BLT but with chicken fried steak instead of bacon. And it has avocado. Amazing and you don't see this at other Mexican trucks.

    Vegetarian options are limited but the veg burrito is good. Vegan options extremely limited.
