The last food truck was a lot tastier. This one did not compare well to local favorites like Lone Star Taco bar in Alston

The flavor but also the touch of the two corn tortillas. Made it much easier to eat, often tacos are too mushy and fall apart when they have a lot of toppings

Fish taco and shredded beef tacos (chicken ones were too spicy for kids). Only issue was the guac and chips weren't in the bag, but I wrote and they will do a refund for that item.

The tacos were very good! My favorite are ones that have both meet and vegetables, but I feel like that is a personal preference as opposed to something they could do better. They were very friendly and helpful.

Honestly, it was all around delicious. The Baja fish tacos were amazing, as were the beef brisket. Very tasty

The pickled red onions and the seasoned carnitas go perfectly together. The brisket tacos were also delicious. And the chips had the perfect crunch.

Avocado taco was really bitter, not sure why. The other ones were all good! I'd order again, just not that item.

The food was spectacular! We love the convenience of pre-ordering and having a scheduled pick up time. They were very friendly!!
