Alrighttttttttt, this has been my go-to taco spot since 2015. I live on the west coast now, but always make this a stop when I’m in town. Yes, they are pricey BUT you get what you pay for food wise in my opinion.
If you want cheap small tacos that are still good- go down airline and bring cash. They have a lot of taco trucks.
FOOD/DRINKS:
These tacos include cheese, avocado, cilantro, and sautéed onions. Keep this in mind when you order, especially if you say “with everything”.
These tacos are NOT small, they are regular. I’ve seen reviews of people saying they are small, that is not the case.
I have only personally tried and get the asada/beef/fajita- this is the only spot I don’t totally pick out fatty meat. I bring a lot of people to this spot and they have ordered various meats. I’ve been told the barbacoa, chicken, and shrimp are also good.
Their agua frescas are sooooo good, I usually alternate between an horchata or lemonade (freshly squeezed). People I’ve taken also recommend their watermelon, tamarindo, and melon.
The salsas are great and spicy, I usually get both red and green. They always give you a bunch of limes to use as well.
I’ve tried the tortas, quesadillas, sopes, tacos, gorditas, and burritos. All delicious and huge.
SERVICE:
The wait can be a while so keep this in mind if you’re on a time crunch.
They tend to forget to give napkins or will give 2-3, I just ask for more and they are more than happy to give more.
I’ve never experienced bad service here or had a rude encounter with the staff. I have witnessed staff match energy when people have an attitude or come with a sense of entitlement.
Tips to those who don’t speak Spanish & in general:
•raising your voice/yelling doesn’t help the staff understand your order better or what you mean. Google Translate is amazing and free- use it.
•the staff understand more than you think- speak clear/enunciate or loud enough for them to hear you. They are in a food truck with a lot of noise, commotion, and other people- it can be hard to hear.
•if your order stays the same, try to learn it in Spanish
•a please/thank you goes a long way
•you can pause your call, FaceTime, game, video, etc.- anything really to take a minute to order your food.
Anyway, I’ve included a picture of my most recent order. My mom gets the same order of tacos but because they are double tortillas, she will make more tacos with the extra tortilla.
Give them a try! I hope you enjoy.
