Overall good - 3.5 stars…read more I caught up with this food truck at the Tractor Supply spring garden event in Elk River. The food was good and the portions were generous. The refried beans in my burrito bowl were cold, which I didn't appreciate. But everything else was good. I like the variety of beverages too. (A lot of food trucks skimp on this.) I grabbed a Jarritos guava flavored soda. After I left, I wished I had tried the interesting Manzanita Sol apple flavored soda. I'll definitely grab one of those next time. This is a family run operation and everyone was very friendly. I always favor a family owned business versus a big corporate place. This isn't a food truck that I'd seek out. But it hits the spot if you're in the area and in the mood for some savory Mexican style food. And it's definitely a great choice if you're very hungry. -Maxx

Portion sizes were VERY generous. I never saw a much an enormous burrito! I had an Alambre which I never heard of, but loved.

Despite growing up in and loving my birthplace, it has not always been a culinary destination. I'm…read morestill not going to pretend it is, but it certainly helps there are new restaurants moving into the area. New restaurants with delicious food. Apparently I'm not the only person fond of this place either since it's usually filled with patrons every time I drive by. And regrettably, I waited until the last night before my departure overseas to visit, because we had a great experience. I won't lie and say this is something unique to Mexican/Latin food, but I will say it's very filling, very good, and very hard to choose between so many delectable options on the menu. My quesadilla was legitimately excellent. I asked to add jalapeños to it, and they obliged. I'm fact, I met some of the people that work there the night prior and intimated my love for all things spicy, and the first thing they did was bring me spicier salsas than the traditional MN palate typically enjoys. The staff here are literally amazing. They are so friendly and accommodating, brought us complimentary drinks out of straight kindness, and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our night. Wonderful human beings, and for all the right reasons. Come here and try it. At the very least I think everyone will enjoy the friendly staff. Looking forward to returning.
