We ordered the chicken taquitos combo plate with rice and beans, chips and salsa, and a GIANT bowl of menudo. Everything was delicious! My husband is SUPER picky when it comes to menudo, so when he said it was great, you know it had to be good! And the homemade corn tortillas? OHHH MY GOODNESS! That recommendation absolutely knocked it out of the park! Fresh, homemade tortillas are always a win! Overall, great food, amazing hospitality, and that comforting, homemade Mexican food vibe we love. We're so happy we finally stopped by, and we'll definitely be back for more!

It looks like it could get pretty busy, but the line was very efficient and the people are very friendly here. The vibe here is definitely a fun mix of people looking for delicious tacos as well as some folks getting off of work and just trying to get a convenient meal on the way home. I think they're most known for their "battleship" taco, but during my visit I end up getting the surtido taco. This taco was a great mix that had a bunch of different textures and flavors from the different cuts, while being topped with sautéed onion and cactus. I will definitely have to order the battleship taco it next time I'm here. I came here later at night, so the market was already closed and there was plenty of parking around.

This taco truck is a great option if you're craving tacos/ Mexican food around Santa Ana…read more Surprisingly, what I liked best was their al pastor burrito. Usually the tacos are my favorite, but their al pastor burrito was truly the standout. It was so flavorful and had plenty of meat, rice, and even bits of pineapple inside. So good! It was a tad bit too greasy for my liking but overall very delicious. The tortilla they use for their burrito was really yummy too. Besides the burrito, their tacos did not disappoint. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos and 1 al pastor. My favorite, again, was the al pastor. They also have plenty of other meat options, although I'm pretty basic and just stick with al pastor and carne asada for my tacos. The tacos were a good size with plenty of meat as well. I wouldn't say the tortillas they use for the tacos were my favorite, but I liked that they included double tortillas so that the tacos wouldn't fall apart. I liked that my to-go order was packaged nicely and that I was given little plastic cups for my salsa. I really enjoyed their salsas, especially the creamy green one. The parking was unfortunately a bit difficult. I went later at night, on a Saturday around 9, and I couldn't find any parking. It's all street parking and I couldn't find any spots on the street where the taco truck is parked or in the neighborhood nearby. I had to wait until a car left to park. I would return for their al pastor burrito and tacos though, just probably on a weekday and earlier. Also, I believe they only take cash or payment via apps such as Zelle.

The food was pretty good as far as flavor and quality of meat goes. You could taste the bbq flavor on the meat which really added to each bite.

I stopped by this taco truck this past weekend, and after trying quite a few taco spots, here are…read moremy thoughts on this one. First off, I really love that they use charcoal to cook their meat. That smoky flavor is something you just can't replicate with other cooking methods, and it definitely stands out. They also give a generous amount of sides and avocado with every taco, which I really appreciated. I ordered the tripe, chorizo, and carne asada tacos. The carne asada was good--nice flavor overall, though it could use just a touch more salt. Still very enjoyable and easy to overlook. I'd give the asada a 8/10. The tripe taco was where I struggled a bit. I usually like tripe with a bit of bite and crunch, but this one was way too crunchy. At one point I genuinely wondered if I was going to crack a tooth . It also needed more salt.If they cooked this a little less honestly this would be much higher on my rating. I'd rate the tripe a 5.5/10. The chorizo was well cooked and flavorful. Like many places now, the seasoning was lighter so you can adjust it yourself, which I don't mind at all. I'd give the chorizo a 7/10. Overall, this is a decent taco truck with some solid flavors and good portions. Worth checking out, especially if you appreciate charcoal-grilled meat.

My friends and I have been looking for good tacos in the Irvine/Santa Ana area and came here to…read moretest our luck. This taco truck is located on a street with a lot of other vendors, including multiple other taco trucks and churro and crepe trucks/stands. It wasn't too busy when we arrived at 11pm on a Friday night. My friends and I ordered primarily al pastor and carne asada tacos. The cashier couldn't speak any English, which we took as a good sign. Tacos were $3 each. It took about 15 minutes for all our tacos to come out (12 in total), but I saw they were making everything fresh and to order in the truck. When we got our tacos, they were so fresh and hot it was a bit hard to hold initially. The meat was flavorful and tender, and guac was included on top. Salsa could be found in the ice among the drinks, which almost all of them are pretty spicy. These were solid tacos and at a good large size. The only negative I have is that the salsa they put on each taco is pretty spicy and overwhelming. I usually handle spice pretty well, but in this case it was a bit too much of a kick that built up over time. I basically took off about half the salsa that was on my tacos and that was the perfect balance of heat and flavor. Overall, I would rate this place about 3.75 stars, mainly because the area is convenient to reach and this is one of the better options. This would be a place to come to if my friends and I didn't want to drive out to LA or to North OC for tacos. The portions and meat were good, but the salsa took a bit away for me.
