Great flavor tacos, you can take out or seat, the seating area is large enough so you don't feel on top of each other. The chiles asados (grilled peppers) were a nice compliment. From the outside it looks sketchy but it was pretty good 😊 Forgot to mention that this is a cash only place, so be aware of this.

Wow wow wow!! I pulled up at 11am with a bus load of 48 people after a friend recommended we get lunch here. I’ll be honest, I had my doubts looking at the old food trailer. But boy did they deliver! Fairly quick service, and very tasty authentic Mexican food! I like how they had a decent size seating area inside & two bathrooms. I’ll consider coming back if I’m in the area again!

For over a decade a Taco Trailer with no wheels sits outside a large Air Condition Dining Room on Central just South of Michigan Ave. Every dish comes with Sauteed Onions and Jalapeno w Salsa too. This place hopping all day long and at dinner time after 5pm the dining room and parking lot filled. The very best all Meat Burrito 😋 any place in Metro Detroit, just look at the photos. I had the Campachano Burrito mixed Steak n Chorizo WOWED, no rice or beans. Just packed with Meat Onion Cilantro n Creama a mega Deal. She had the grande Chicken n Cheese Quesadilla a real winner on the super cheap. Hey this $17 bucks for both makes this a must try 😄. Most places getting $12 for a Burrito with little Meat stuffed with Rice n Beans, I want to taste the Meat. Two different Green Salsa Verde marvelous creamy the very best. We been customers since opening, truly a Classic Detroit hidden Gem. Gringo's can't find this place, they missing out on Authentic Mexican food. #tacoselprimo #campachano #allmeatburrito #burrito #lowprices #chickenquesadilla #salsaverde #downriverfriendseat

If you're looking for authentic Mexican tacos, this is the place in Detroit metro area, this my favorite taco spot in Michigan so far, great variety of tacos and bring back the memories from Jalisco, the service is great! I recommend tacos of; Birria (beef shredded slow cooked), cabeza ( beef head), tripas (beef intestines extra crunchy), lengua (beef tongue).

excellent across the board! Such a wonderful flavor no matter what you select. The authenticity is second to none. I enjoyed sitting indoors, but just smashing tacos with your lady in the parking lot is the best🙌🏾

Excellent tacos & quesadillas. Taco truck is outside of the indoor dining area. Service is fast & friendly. The cabeza is tender & flavorful. The tacos are generously portioned as were the quesadillas. Quick, tasty lunch spot.

There's two other taco trucks within 3 MILES and I choose this one the food is piping hot and you get a lot compared to the other ones... inside the building after 5:00 you can get elote and Jules it's like a donut with some filling quite amazing

This was my first time at this food truck. The young lady who was taking orders had taken a break I guess and the man who took my order could not understand English and I don't understand Spanish so that was a bust can you set my food to the side which was not covered up they were serving on paper plates, when the lady was not there I was trying to tell him to give me my plate because nats were landing on the plate, and if they were on the plate I'm sure they were on the food! So I didn't even get my order I just left.
