Steak Nachos to go
Makoto C.

I came here in February of 2021 during the peak of Covid where take-out orders are now becoming much more common. Perfect opportunity to hit up a food truck. I ordered the steak nachos and they were bomb. About as good as I'd expect from a food truck. They had a perfect container for them "to go". The highlight was actually the chips. Home-made super crunchy and just some of the best chips I had. The toppings were just icing on the cake.... or cheese on the nachos. And steak. And beans. Just see the picture to get a good idea. They're huge. Enough for 2 people. OR someone with a huge appetite. Oh, and the service was super friendly. The guy who took my order was the same guy on the truck. And then the girl who handed me my food was generous with salsa. Would come back if I wanted nachos again.

Soooo, The panini was pretty good. Lots of flavor in the meat which I really enjoyed. My issue was the $5 seasoned fries that were not seasoned. Over paying for fries is not my favorite thing. They were soft and lacked flavor. I will try this place again. The dessert picture looked great. P

The Beef Birria Tacos has to be the best tacos I have ever eaten. I had to stop and take a picture before I ate my last taco. The chef was a nice guy and his food speaks for itself. I'll be a returning customer that's for sure!

found this place by accident looking for food with my dad, glad we did!! my dad had a chicken taco and steak panini and I had the tomato and basil panini. Amazing food, amazing CHEF, and team! my dad is not easy to please when it comes to food. We got to talk to the chef and he told us how he names his sandwiches after his family you can tell he cares about his food and family. If you're looking for real food and a good meal this is the spot! definitely follow the instagram or facebook to find out where they'll be.

I've been to their Northridge location before, and one day while driving through sherman way. I…read morenoticed they also had a taco truck set up. I had to stop and check it out. The food is delicious and very authentic Tijuana-style street tacos done right. I've tried several items from the menu including the torta, quesadillas, tacos, dorados de birria, and carne asada, and everything has been flavorful and satisfying. The birria tacos are definitely a standout. Service is always great and fast, which makes it an easy stop when you're craving good street food. If you're in the area and want authentic Mexican tacos, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

Popped by to support a woman-owned biz for Women's History Month! I ordered three tacos - pastor,…read moreasada and birria with all the fixings! The pastor wasn't my favorite but the asada was solid. My absolute favorite was the birria! The consume was outstanding. I drank everything that was left over after dipping my taco into it. I ordered online and my food was ready FAST! The person who handed me my order was super friendly. I was happy to see they included lots of salsa on the side with my order. There was plenty of parking when I came by to pick up my order so the whole process was seamless. I would definitely order from here again in the future especially if I am craving birria tacos!
