That they sell single tacos for $4. No make that $5, inflation. So I don't have pay $15 for way more food than I can eat. Please sell the street tacos, 1 or two a la carte. Thank you

Been getting food at this truck a while. I dont like the new packaging they use for the orders. The food quantity felt much smaller than usual and the sauce content was minimal. I cant in good faith give this experience a 5 but I love this truck and have been coming here every time they come by for years while purposely hunting them down at the other places they station at. Still good food I just expected better.

Our burgers and fries were delicious! We don't usually do fast food or food trucks. The food was hot with fresh ingredients on the hamburger. Our fries had a hint of salt which was perfect for us. The staff was also very friendly (even though there was a line). Thank you.

This was my first time booking a food truck for our corporate offsite, and everything was perfect. Food was great, Ruby and staff were punctual and helped keep everything moving along. Would definitely recommend and book again for other future event needs.
