We hadn't been in a while and the last time we were there I found out they discontinued their cabbage salsa, which to be honest was the other real reason to go, so now they have been knocked down a few places. Their price point isn't the greatest either. They charge a lot for their food and like I said earlier its just okay. They are convenient, and offer a kids eat free day so that's a bonus. But there are definitely better places to eat in town.

There was a heater set up on the tables in the outdoor area which was nice as the weather was rather cold. I ordered 4 different types of tacos and my friend ordered 3 tacos & a tamale. The gentlemen working the truck were so nice & friendly and the food was incredible. We took a seat and waited for our food and they brought it out to our table. Between the two of us we ordered: the house special taco, fish taco, shrimp taco, favorite taco, surf & turf taco, carne asada street taco & a pork tamale. These tacos were so delicious and remind me of tacos I ate back home when growing up in LA. The Surf & Turf Taco was spicy but it was so delicious, I wish I had ordered more than one of them. The regular house Carne Asada tacos were the closest I have found to home, and felt like I could have eaten 20 of them! The tamale was flavorful but was slightly over cooked - the edge of the masa was hard and we cut it off. It was served with a side of green salsa & crema. I would recommend this taco truck and will defiantly be bag again.
