    $20 Nachos

    I cannot recommend, $20 for the smallest plate of nachos I have ever had. Food is ok but the cost per portion is ridiculous

    Dan G.

    The food, service, and ambiance at this small town restaurant are all exceptional!! Great Mexican food at good prices. It's clean, neat, and nicely decorated. We have been here twice in the last month. My only regret is that the servings are so big that I haven't been able to try the fried ice cream dessert!! Maybe next time!

    Carne Asada French fries & strawberry margarita, bean dip, salsa

    I had the steak fajitas and my son had the cielo, mar and tierra molcajate. We both left satisfied and full. We will be coming back!

    Expensive and very Americanized. Not worth it. Service was good but the food was bland , and simple. No much to it.

    After a long drive, we were on the hunt for some really good food and honestly weren't sure this…read morewas the place at first. Thankfully, the Yelpers pointed us in the right direction! All the accolades are well deserved. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and genuinely exceptional. The chicken street tacos were some of the best we've had in a long time! If you're looking for delicious food and great service, definitely give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

    On the long I-5 trek between the Bay Area and Southern California my general rule is to make one…read morestop, filling up the car, emptying the bladder, and having lunch at In-N-Out. This trip was no different except I'd begun in a different city than usual which changed the time and place that I stopped. While filling the gas tank at the Arco in Santa Nella I couldn't help but notice the taco truck (with shaded seating area) on the far edge of the property. Any plans for In-N-Out evaporated when I walked over and checked out the offerings. 6 tacos later ($2.86 each; 4 carne asada, 1 al pastor, 1 carnitas shared between two people) we'd both declared this place a winner. Had it not been so hot out I'd have also purchased a burrito for later. Or perhaps the 3 enchiladas for $7. Or maybe some quesabirrias. You see where I'm going. I thought the tacos here were declicious and was pretty certain I'd find the rest of the menu no different. Fresh and spicy salsas as well as a plop of grilled onions made these tacos as enticing as any In-N-Out burger and that's a compliment to both places. If you find yourself looking for very good Mexican fare in Santa Nella, look no further.
