Taco sampler and chips and quesoooo
Danielle C.

Oh my gosh, the absolute best!!! We had Duncan and his crew come out for a company lunch, and everyone loved it!! They were able to accommodate 80+ people in a reasonable amount of time and the food was amazing! We will definitely book them again for future events!

Captain, I am searching Knoxville for YOU! I will see you soon........very soon! I will update review once I have eaten there...wooooooooooooo! ----------- So I stalked and found the Captain "Duncan" running this fine establishment. The food is expensive but it is higher class food truck eating. This isn't greasy food for the football game; it tastes good and is more sophisticated than what you think food truck eating is. I saw the rather large bulbous fan outlet on top of the food truck; ok it is not really a food truck but a food stand that is towed; and the fan outlet tells me that the proprietor is cooking a lot of food to have such a ventilator stack above. The food was quickly prepared, the presentation was nice, & the Captain is a nice dude. I enjoyed the food, and I see why people about town were telling me to try it. I had the Ahi Tuna soft tacos..quite good. I also had the cheese Quesadilla side which was tasty. While the food is a bit expensive, I think it was worth it. I offer 5 stars presumptuously simply because I want to try it again someday but really i think the other items are just as good; everyone around me was chowing down and having a good time - no complaints heard. I wanted to order the street corn but he was out of it. I am glad he piloted his vessel to the Crafty Bastard Brewery tonight. But he will be elsewhere, sailing the high seas of Knoxville, looking to swash-buckle empty stomachs into line to order fresh food. Arrrrrrrrrrrrr, Matey!

sweet potato taco bowl

So I have tried this truck twice now. The first time, I got the sweet potato tacos and was really excited. When I got my order and started to eat it, the combination of roasted sweet potato and raw cabbage was so disgusting that it brought me to tears. Who would think that sweet potato, lime, and cabbage go together? Well a year or so later I am back and decided to try the new bowl option since I saw that they won an award for their tacos. The sweet potatoes have a good flavor and I like them, but the "pico" is just poor-quality tomatoes diced and soaked in lime. On a bed of bland smushed up rice. WTF? How is this one of knoxville's best food trucks? I wish I had taken my $12 to chipotle or something for some better quality food.

We stopped by Alliance to have a beer and took advantage of Captain Muchachos parked out front. YUM! We had Red Curry Chicken and our friends had Sriracha Chicken. SO GOOD and the prices are great. You have to try it!

If you know me, you know my love of tacos. Seriously. It runs deep. And if you have a similar affinity, I've got nothing but mad respect. One look at the American-Mexican fusion tacos and you know you're in for a treat! $8-10 for 2 tacos might seem steep, but these aren't your regular dollar menu tacos. First of all, they are sizeable and stuffed to the brim with goodness. Two tacos were completely filling for me, but if you are still wanting more, check out the 'Not Tacos' portion of the menu for some additional noms. I am particularly fond of their street corn. I've had the Pollo with Kiwi Chutney and the Spicy Thai Peanut Chicken tacos. The freshness of the kiwi chutney was delicious. The Spicy Thai Peanut Chicken tacos are my jam! I don't know how I've ever get past them to try something different. You should know that they aren't playing by calling them 'spicy'. Grab and extra napkin for your sniffling noise because it's totally worth it! These cats have style. They have tasty food. They have passion for serving their community food they are proud of. Look them up on social media to find out where they're going to be parked. You won't regret it.

#1 tacos in Knoxville. Maybe Tennessee. Maybe America. Maybe the world. Possibly the universe.

Excellent food! I've had it a couple of times when I've been to Alliance, and I've been impressed both times.

Best tacos in all of Knoxville. If you can find them at Trailhead Beer Market, it's an unbeatable combination!

This place is wonderful magic! Beware one order of tacos comes with two! Accidentally ordered 3 and got 6... wasn't too mad about it.

Was about to leave town and wanted a quick bite to eat for Sunday lunch. We were seated and…read moreattended to quickly, ordered two tacos each and they arrived super fast. All were delicious, but I would come back for the BigShrimpin' taco. If you like buffalo sauce and blue cheese, it worked so well with the crispy fried shrimp. Yum! The hubby liked the chorizo tater tot taco. Friendly, delicious, good prices, and faster than fast food. Great work, Chivo!!

My husband & I walked in on a Friday at 5:15 and found seating at the bar without issue. He ordered…read morea smoked old fashion and I ordered "the Chivo" with a tajin rim. Both delicious! Started with salsa & chips. The chips came out warm and the salsa (both green and red) tasted soooo fresh. You can tell everything is made in house. I had steak fajitas for my main course and I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the best fajitas I've ever had! The steak was extremely flavorful and juicy. It came with hot tortillas and all the toppings you could want. My husband ordered 3 tacos (codfather, big shrimpin & tators gonna tate). All were amazing! The service here was also exceptional. The food came out shockingly fast and sooner than expected. The staff was kind and attentive. Bartender Maddie was excellent! This place really exceeded my expectations and will be a regular stop when we're in town. 10/10 Chico love u
