You have no idea how ecstatic I was when my boyfriend texted me on Cinco De Mayo, "There's a taco…read moretruck by our house". I seriously drove home like a MAD WOMAN. What a beautiful thing it is to have a food truck in the burbs (Mounds View)!! Here's what your wallet can get: $2 tacos or $8 tortas w your choice of the following meats (forgive my complete inability to evoke the simplest Spanish. Uh, pollo?): Steak, Chicken, pork, chorizo, cow tongue, roasted beef, chorizo+steak They are served on small corn tortillas w choice of red (hot!) or green sauce, diced onions, cilantro, and lime. Here's what you get: Really f-ing happy. And that is my "clean" description. My bf said that this was just like what he's eaten in Cancun. And he refers to Americanized Mexican food as "dog food" and "slop" haha, so he can attest that this is authentic. Straight forward and simple good food. My faves are the cow tongue (give it a chance, it's like tender steak) and the chorizo/steak combo. The tacos are small, so I can eat 4 at least. My bf could prob eat 5+. Neither of us have tried or seen the tortas yet. And they have jarritos soda available too. Here's where you can get it: Old Highway 10, between County Rd H and I. Vino & Stogies (Mon-Tues) BP Station (Across from McD's) (Weds-Thurs) Cenex Gas Station (next to Fedor's Market) (Weekends) It's possible I might be off on the days, but I've been stalking and interrogating them so I think I might have it down. If not, just keep your eyes peeled in the area!

First time I even heard of this lil mobile joint was maybe a summer, or two, back. Mom walked in…read morefrom work raving about the "taco truck" a mile down the road parked at the gas station. I was skeptical as I had developed the belief that any food truck outside the state fair, or the corner of 8th and Marquette, was taboo. How little do I know...as I seem to find more and more as I age ungracefully. I kept turning down her offers to run over for a quick bite, until she pulled into the gas station lot one day on our way back from errands. No way to back out now. Being it winter at the moment I've been craving these dang things and losing my mind. They're small, and maybe a bit over priced if you're used to a quick Taco Bell fix but man are they well worth it. The abundance of fresh cilantro, hot sauce, and the absorbent shells get me every time. Love the Chorizo tacos, but I can't say I've tried anything other than that or Chicken. Depending on the day, there can be a bit of a wait, as they're often cooking up the meat right there and then, so it's fresh. The lady working is always smiling, and very kind. Thanks to Kara, I am now aware of where this spectacular joint is parked the other days of the week. P.S. Saw them at Grand Old Day last June. Made my day.

Their salsas have completely changed for the worse. The salsa roja resembled Taco Bell mild salsa, only worse. The green was only marginally better. The posole was cloying and the pork had an off flavor. I couldn't even find the beans in my bean tostadas. I hope they return to their authentic delicious cooking. I would not go back unless they go back to their authentic salsas and flavors.

All your favorite options plus some things I was surprised to be able to find at a taco truck: tres leches and arroz con leche cups?? Esquites AND elotes? Love to see it! PRICES: $3.25 per taco is great, and it's even better when you see how huge they are. $8 for a dilla? That's what I'm talk in' about! SIZE: The quesabirria and carnitas tacos I got were packed to the BRIM with juicy meat, cilantro, onion, plus pickled onions and lime on the side. One of the best endowed tacos in the cities, I'd say! SERVICE: Was fast and friendly. Stop by and give them a try - you'll be hooked!

You can eat there or take out, thay also have some other dishes, but I'm here just for the Gorditas. My only concern is the price, $4.50 is expensive, BUT you won't regret at all once you have the first bite. It has a good size and they put a lot of meat. But maybe be $4.00 or even $3.90. Just my opinion.

Walk out to the parking lot and find some great goddamn Mexican food. Cute little food truck with nice hard working folks ready to fill your belly with some delicious and very authentic food. Real deal tacos. Overfilled with hot and fresh meat. Double wrapped with corn tortillas. Simple onions, cilantro, and a few lime wedges. Just so goddamn delicious. I've tried the asada, pastor, and carnitas. All equally as good. 3 tacos go for $10.50 (that's 3.50 each) and will for sure fill you up and keep you going. Fresh homemade salsas to top it off. Some other dickhead commented the salsas were too hot. Stop being such a pussy. They're wonderful salsas. Quesadillas are huge, filled to the top, and just cheesy bueno goodness. You can't go wrong with anything. Always hot and made with Mexican love. Cash only, so raid your kids piggy bank and head down to St. Paul for some beautiful comida Mexicana.

I wanted some authentic Mexican tacos in corn tortillas and was left wanting more out of the experience. I tried using the QR code on the outside of the truck which stated they were not taking mobile orders at the time. They were out of carnitas but didn't note that on the menu (not a big problem, I found other options). I ordered a carne asada and chorizo taco. The meat was a bit tough and the salsa wiped out my taste buds by the spice. It curbed my craving, but wasn't something I'd run back for. I expected fresh chips and guacamole but was met with the equivalent of chips from a store and a mixed up version of a grocery store guacamole with added pickled onions. Certainly not worth the inflated cost.
