I passed by this food truck several times and always wanted to check it out. I would say that it was good but not the best and I will tell you why. I stopped by around closing time 3:30pm. The truck is located inside a lot so there is plenty of parking available, service was great. I picked up 2 super burritos $12 each (azada with extra sour cream) that is an additional $1 per burrito. I also order 3 handmade tortilla tacos $.50 additional per taco (azada, chicken, and pastor). I also order 3 drinks (horchata), the order came with a small bag of chips and salsa (I wish it was a bag per food item or meal ordered). My bill came up to $46; I should say that I was excited about the tacos 1 because of the price and 2 because I like to try food trucks and support small businesses. Once I got home, we found out that one of the super burritos had no sour cream at all; that was disappointing ( I didn't try the burritos since I am gluten free, but I was told it was ok as far as flavor). The tacos were for me and I think they were alright, the steak and al pastor meat didn't have much flavor in comparison to other tacos I had, plus the meat was on the dry side. On the other hand the chicken taco was surprisingly good, that was grilled yet it was juice- the marination of the chicken was good in my opinion. I always feel like you can't go wrong with a horchata, but it seems like we got the bottom of it, the drink was so grainy that we had to drain it. So I don't know if I will give it another try- seems like the quality of food was not there maybe because it was the end of the day since closing time is 4pm; but regardless of this (beginning or end) the food quality should be consistent- at least that's a dealbreaker for me.

It wasn't in a rude way though as a pregnant lady lol i just wana sit and enjoy my food, and i forsure need time to sit and process my meal. Still good service and great food! Just please slow down a bit and don't make people feel rushed to leave. And also the tops to our to go lids did not fit our server knew that and we HAD TO ASK for different lids and she said "oh we normally use foil sheets" so then why not bring the foil sheets out to us to use? And when we did order our desert we asked for the CARAMEL churros and she brings us it with Chocolate....when I asked for the caramel and not the chocolate she said "oh we don't have caramel, but it still says that on the menu" not even really an apology either to that. I did start out to give this a 4 start but due to the experience of feeling rushed, I'm giving it a 3 star. Food again was cooked so so well! Yea after careful consideration and not being the only one who noticed lol this place is kinda racist. It was VERY obvious how my mother in law and i were treated compared to the other customers. WE WILL NOT BE COKING BACK.

Wow! What a find! Parking lot is small but the food is worth it. It is an obvious local favorite…read more They did a brisk business in take out while we were there and you can see why. The burritos were flavorable. We had the super burrito and the shrimp burrito. The proteins were tender and you can taste all the individual ingredients. Not one thing dominated which is rare in a burrito. And everything was super fresh. And the carnitas were bite sized cubes of deliciousness that melted in your mouth. The corn tortillas were home made. Chips came with salsa and really fresh refried beans. Is that a thing? While waiting to pay, I chatted with the nice gentleman ahead of me who commented he would eat here everyday if his wife would let him. I could see why. He said this was the best Mexican restaurant in town. We don't eat in Pittsburg often but I may believe him. Both kids agreed this was a five star and my son loves Mexican food while my daughter craves strong flavors. so that says something about this place. Not to mention the service was friendly and we loved the eclectic ambiance. The plates, the chairs, the adorable napkin holder all gave it a special welcoming vibe. This place was definitely a lucky find for us. Highly recommended.

I would vote them a 5 star for several yrs. I used to really appreciate the FREE grilled jalapeño but now they charge somewhere around $1-$2 for 1 pepper? But today they dropped to a 1 star. (Out of respect for the history, I made it a 3) I was grossed out by the amount if grissel in my "carne asada". Now I am wondering if this is the "mystery meat"? I don't think I will order carne asada again from here. I may go back to my former spot on Railroad, Tijuana Carnitas. When we pay $13-$15 for a burrito, we need quality food.

I must admit I was jealous of her tacos as they were still unbroken after removing them from the wrap they're served in because it seems every time I've ordered their crispy tacos the shell always breaks open and splits at the bottom. Very disappointing. The taco salad was very tasty with all of my favorites included. We enjoy eating here and my only real complaint is their carne asada soft taco that comes filled with whole pinto beans besides the meat. I don't understand this and to me it really doesn't add to the taco. I didn't know they served them like this or I would have requested no to the beans and I love whole and refried beans, but not in my tacos! Their restaurant is colorful with wonderfully painted or printed images of Mexican life. The staff always seem quite friendly and they are usually very busy. Plus they serve carveza! Their salsa bar doesn't do it for me though, whats supposed to be their mild, Pico de Gallo is too liquidity and as much as I use to enjoy spicy food my 68 y/o body just cannot tolerate it anymore, especially on the way out one day I hope to order their anaconda burrito to share with some friends
