Hidden gem. This place has the best burritos in the area(and I've tried all of them). Trust me get a steak burrito you will not regret it. And it's 12 bucks.

There are not many real good taco trucks around, but this one is great! We ordered 2 super tacos and one burrito. The tacos were amazing and the red sauce made them even better. The burrito was put back on the grill to give the outside texture a crunch, and they paired it with the green sauce which didn't have that much spice to it. The burrito was spot on and I think we found another great place to come back to again. If you like Mexican food, you definitely have to give this place a try.

My favorite taco truck. Latest review said they serve very badly, but it’s entirely false from my perspective. I love this truck because of how great it consistently is(the gordita with Al pastor is incredible). I’m reviewing because the location is fenced off and I’m curious where they moved to. Will be returning to this page again soon to find out. Must. Find. Them….
