The food tasted authentic (my uncle and I were even comparing the rice to the kind you'd get at a hispanic party lol). Their salsas are also made in house and range in spice levels. The staff explains which ones are which and organizes them by spice level, which I really appreciated. I ordered the flautas de papa and OMG they were delicious! They were perfectly fried and paired nicely with the 4th spiced salsa. I will definitely be back soon to have these again Overall: 10/10! Definitely recommend!

The barbacoa was by far my favorite! It was flavorful and tender! I also thought their al pastor was really good, which says a lot because I feel like most places struggle to get that flavor right. I wasn't as much of a fan of the fajita meat (it came as little steak bites, which was different), though my husband actually liked it. Just a heads up for anyone visiting: make sure you bring cash!

Definitely a taste of home outside of San Diego and Tijuana. Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well. Service was fast and friendly. Tacos and burritos were hefty and full of flavor. Ample parking.

Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.

Bonus points if that happens to be a Tuesday night where they have their $1.69/corn taco deal if you buy five or more. It's not quite a place to get other things, because a beer can run you $8 for a Modelo, and the postre (flan) was a strange cheesecake texture that was still a bit too sweet for me. But, they definitely crank out those street tacos and they hit the spot after a few drinks.

I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost. The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.

I ordered the tater tot taco, the veggie lovers taco, and the migas chilauquiles taco and I thoroughly enjoyed all of them minus the migas chilauquiles taco, which I think could've been a hit if I had added salsa or hot sauce to it.

Upon walking in they were very friendly and were able to put together a table of five for us by moving one of the tables from the other side of the restaurant. They made the salsa at the table, and by that I mean they put down the bowl and poured in salsa from what I recall is looking like an IHOP syrup container. We had queso with pickled jalapenos on the side. Not much to report on that beyond that it was a mediocre white cheese sauce. I had the tacos al carbon and got to take a bite of the McAllen enchiladas. The meat in my taco was solid, that part was probably the best part of the whole meal. Rice, guac, tortillas, all fine but nothing special. I was not a fan of the McAllen enchilada. Someone else at the table had carne asada which looked pretty solid, I think I would try that if I came back. Someone else had the polio con amigos. It looked decent. The best part about this place is the service. Super friendly, keeping your drinks and chips refilled, even the manager/owner? came to check on us. I think if you order the right thing, this could be four-star experience, especially given the good service and reasonable prices.
