This truck has been around for a few years and we always come here for the tostadas mixtas like $9 or so these are amazing when paired with a cocktail de conchas negras and a Mexican coke! Yummy!

Pata de mula large $20.00 well worth it..

This taco stand is seriously ripping people off. They're charging tax, and the prices are different…read moredepending on whether you pay with cash or card... on top of that, it's being charged per item. Honestly, it's really disappointing to see a Latino owned business treating its own community this way. We should be supporting our community, not taking advantage of our people. My friend recently had an experience here that was extremely disappointing. Her card didn't go through, but the cashier didn't notice that the payment had been declined and gave her the food anyway. Once my friend realized the payment hadn't gone through, she immediately went back inside and politely explained what had happened because she wanted to make it right. Instead of handling the situation professionally, the cashier became aggressive and accused her of stealing. My friend was extremely embarrassed and upset, especially because she is a local resident who has consistently supported this business. Mistakes happen, but there's a respectful way to handle them. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be returning. I would encourage others to consider supporting another local business that values and respects its customers.

Absolutely delicious!!! Service was great. The staff recommended this dish, and it was prepared in…read moreless than 5 minutes. It may look small, but trust me, it's so filling!! It's called the Maya-a. The meat is a tangy sweet bbq sauce with delicious tender pulled pork on top of well done mac n cheese and jalapeno cornbread underneath. I'm still dreaming of the next time I can order this deliciousness!!

Misnomer. When I saw the name of this food truck, I thought this might be Central American's "soul"…read morefood, but it was actually US Southern soul food with a little Latin twist. The only Latin American ingredients were tortilla, store-bought chips and their mango salsa (which was good). I like the idea of putting southern food in tortilla for convenient, food-truck dining, but I would expect a bit more blending of the two cuisines with its name. Zora Neale's Special: perfectly seasoned and grilled tilapia with greens (kale) and Mac n' cheese for $12. They serve it in a hamburger styrofoam box, so it looks rather small, but they load it and are very generous with the portions! I couldn't finish it in one sitting. I must say the greens and Mac n' cheese were quite salty, though. 3 Taco Special: your choice of chicken, beef brisket, fish and/or oxtail(!), which comes with store-bought chips and their mango salsa for $12. Each taco is regularly priced at $4. They allow you to order different kinds of meat per order, which is nice, but they didn't have oxtail at this time. :( The beef brisket was good, but again, a tad on the salty side. For sides, I tried the plantain chips and sweet potato fries. The plantain chips were not chips at all, but fried plantains, which were delicious, but we expected chips. The sweet potato fries were crispy and seasoned just right. I also ordered what I thought was watermelon juice, but it was really sugary lemonade with a few pieces of watermelon in it. Again, not what I was expecting. :/ The staff working in the truck was really nice, though, and tried to get orders out quickly.
