This is a nice little restaurant with ample comfortable seating inside and out. Parking is also plentiful. It is also has some of the best salsa combos I have ever had! We will be returning.

I am not a carnitas fan but this place makes the best carnitas as long as you don't get the last scraps which could be dry. Usually really moist and flavorful. I also have had the street dog which is pretty good if you feel like a hot dog. Improvements: ANSWER THE PHONE! I swear, Everytime I wasn't to order no one picks up the phone. I know food is made to order but wish it didn't take so long just to get a couple tacos. I would also eat there if they had a drink station rather than can drinks. It's also hot sometimes in there as well. Also, FYI cash = no tax.

Whenever we do drive by, there's always at least a couple folks waiting for their orders, so we just had to try, and so glad we did! The service is quick and the food is always made per order. Our family tried the asada, pollo, pastor, cabeza and lengua tacos. Along with a burrito and torta. The asada, pastor and cabeza are definitely the best options from a protein standpoint. Fresh meats and very flavorful, with the cabeza being one of the most tender meats out there from a taco truck. Their asada burritos is an incredible deal for the portion size provided. We are definitely looking forward to returning to try other menu items. If you're in a rush, feel free to call your order in advance! There's also additional tents and seating with great vibes all around!

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.

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.

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.
