    Experience: Based on the reviews people gave this truck, they weren't lying, these tacos taste awesome as phuck!


    Location: The truck is in a parking lot of an auto repair car shop, but very easy to get your food and wait in line without worrying about moving cars.

    Food: Their bbq beef taco is pretty good for $1.50, and burritos are even better. The cook was even nice to give me some extra limes and fried onions for free.

    Customer service: Very good communication

    I've passed this truck a million times getting off the 101 to go home. I was coming home around 2am and craving a burrito, so I decided it was time to try it. Parking was a mess, I pretty much just left my car at a weird angle on a one way street but everyone else was all over the place too. It was in the same lot as another truck, this one had a longer line so I went for it.

    I got a super burrito, or whatever burrito had avocado, sour cream, and cheese in addition to the standard rice, beans and meat. It cost $8 and was pretty good. It specifically had avocado slices instead of guac, which I guess I'm okay with. I do think there was a healthy amount of ingredients, the avo, sour cream, and cheese really elevated it. My biggest complaint would be the tortilla, it was very dry and flour-y? I really think it would have been better with a better tortilla. The pastor taco was okay, not the best I had, but pretty good. I also like their red sauce.

    Taste better than it looks. I got carne asada, lengua and al pastor (my favorite). The red hot sauce is spicy!
    Cash only. I got 5 tacos for $8. Cheap. Open late.

    A great local food truck with good flavor and value. The quesadilla is amazing, I go carne asada.

    The tacos are typical size but the ingredients are fresh and delicious. A great late night fix when you don't want some chain restaurant food. Typically we go carne tacos but the pastor are more juicy so I suggest getting a mix.

    The burritos are good, they are straight meat beans and rice, which is fine by me. I would add cheese and avocado to bring it up though.

    The Tortas are delicious as well great ingredients and super fresh!

    The parking is a pain and typically there are some fellow drunks hanging around. The homeless situation isn't as bad as it used to be but it's there.
