    Cheese Enchalada.
    Secret A.

    The food was not good. I hate saying that, as it seems like a small business. The food was comparable to microwaved meals you'd get from the frozen section of a grocery store. Very low quality, no flavor, and didn't look or taste good in general. Maybe we caught them on a bad day? I don't know, but it was bad enough where I won't be trying it again.

    A little hidden place in Crandall, TX. We've ordered many, many times from here. We've even catered our Christmas meals from here. Food is always very good and you get A LOT of very generous portions. Too, we recently ordered their fajita and taco salads. They were very good. Oh yeah, don't skip by their nachos. They were so good!

    I had the barbacoa plate it was a very nice serving and it was delish. The service was amazing. We would definitely come back.

    Enjoyed this local food truck right down the road from me. Staff is very friendly and I've heard…read morethey do great things for people in the community. Food is authentic and really good. I think it's priced fairly right too. There's no where to sit, it's all to-go and is outside. I'll be back to support again!

    Came across this Taco food truck on Facebook and thought to give it a try. It is a small area, so…read moreparking could be limited at times, depending on the time you go. This is one of the better hole in the wall taco spots in Forney. Again, not the best tacos I've had, but pretty darn good ones. Albert is the owner of this spot, and I got the opportunity to talk to him. He is a down to Earth guy and very friendly as well. He is working on adding more and different meats to the menu. Food: - Al Pastor (8/10): The pastor was seasoned very well and you can taste the freshness in the meat. I like how they give you the option if you want pineapples on it or not. I got mine without pineapples, so I could really taste the flavor of the meat. However, I did accidentally bite into a small bone in my taco. - Lengua (8/10): The lengua had a great flavor as well. I usually don't eat lengua, but this was pretty solid. It was not gamey or anything like some other places. - Beef Fajitas (9/10): Another great solid choice. This is your classic beef Fajitas, but they amped it up with the flavor. The coloring looks like it's pastor, but it tastes just like a well flavored beef. - Pollo (10/10): I normally don't ever get chicken, because it is always dry and no flavor to it. But man this chicken was one of the best chicken tacos I have ever had. It was seasoned perfectly. It kind of reminded me of an Indian chicken tandoori flavor. - Torta - al pastor (7/10): This Torta was pretty solid. The only reason it was a lower rating was because I wish the bread was a bit more toasted. But it was flavored well with the pork, jalapeños, onions, cilantro. I think next time I will try this with either the beef fajitas or chicken. - Elotes (6/10): I will be honest, the presentation of this elote is a 10/10. When I saw that there was takis in this with a hint of tamarind sauce, I was super excited to try it. But I think the problem was that the corn was too watery, so I could not get the full flavor of the spice, mayo, and cheese. However, my overall experience was great! I would give this place a 8/10 for the food overall. The hot sauce was nice and spicy, which is how I like it. I wish I got more of it because it was just that really good. I would highly recommend trying this place out if you are in the Forney area or driving by.
