The customer service is 100%. The food is 100% a 10 out of 10 the wait time is 10 to 15 minutes. If you order a bunch of food if you order small mouse food they get it all within five minutes the green avocado sauce is the best salsa ever turn Overton this truck is not well known like it needs to be

Torta
Adriana A.

The best damn torta I ever did eat this place is soo good very I can only speak for the torta and aguas because i haven't tried anything else but I can bet all their other food options are just as top tier ! Don't sleep on this cute place, it's located off the side of the road by autozone and it's a bright green so you can miss it! Also the service is very much family vibes very nice and even remembers you! Very sweet :) it's always a pleasure visiting while in Santa Ana love this place and def rec

Still my number one go to spot. Favorite salsa is the amarilla. Sometimes I get the super spicy orange one. Scrap Taco Bell and get real food. Quesadilla is great too, lots of meat. Oh yeah, my brother will often come home with their food! He loves it too.

Me and my girlfriend have been coming here for the last 4 years! Great service & amazing quality. Our go-tos are their tacos & asada quesadilla. Highly recommend their jalapeño sauce -it's just right and has been the biggest reason we keep coming back!

Food: Wow the churros are so fresh! You can see one of the employees frying them! We ordered the…read morechurros with ice cream and chose vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup, and it was so fun to pile the vanilla ice cream on the end of the churro and enjoy! The cold ice cream was a great contrast to the warm, crispy churro! You get five churros with a generous portion of ice cream for a little over $10, so this was a good deal too! Service: The employees were nice, and the food came out really fast. Ambiance: There's a clean bathroom and many tables to sit at. Highly recommend parking at a nearby parking structure for a shopping complex and walking over! Please try this delicious place with your friends!

This place should probably have two separate businesses on Yelp for review since they currently…read morehave a store front near 4th st market but the Yelp page was also for their food truck. The store front is easy to find as they have a large visible sign showing "CHURROS" near the street. The items can get pricey, as I recently picked up just an ice cream with churros and bag of churros which ended up at $20. There's a $1 charge on credit cards which also seems a bit like charging the customer on any business transaction. The location is a decent size so it could definitely fit groups and such. Unfortunately my visit did not really go well, as after ordering and receiving a buzzer to let us know when the order is complete, we waited for over 10 minutes to have other customers place orders after us and receive their orders before our buzzer went off. Eventually, one of the associates noticed we had been waiting for a while and came to us to ask if we had placed an order already. For some reason, the buzzer was not programmed to our order, and I ended up asking the cashier for my receipt to confirm that my order was placed. This was frustrating as we had originally entered the store as the only guests and 3 other parties had entered the store after us and received their orders before us. Fortunately, the associates closest to us near the pick up order section noticed that we had been waiting for an extended period of time and came out to ask what we had ordered to help us make our missing order. I have no idea how our order was missed but it was not a great experience to wait in a store with no AC (only the front doors propped open for ventilation) and there was no real apology for the mishap. However, we're very appreciative of some of the staff members noticing that we had been patiently waiting for our order.

Each bite transports you straight to Mexico City, and the grilled onions, nopales asados, and perfectly grilled jalapeño are all must-try combinations.

It looks like it could get pretty busy, but the line was very efficient and the people are very friendly here. The vibe here is definitely a fun mix of people looking for delicious tacos as well as some folks getting off of work and just trying to get a convenient meal on the way home. I think they're most known for their "battleship" taco, but during my visit I end up getting the surtido taco. This taco was a great mix that had a bunch of different textures and flavors from the different cuts, while being topped with sautéed onion and cactus. I will definitely have to order the battleship taco it next time I'm here. I came here later at night, so the market was already closed and there was plenty of parking around.

I was driving home from work and really craving hibachi, so I did a quick search and found this…read morefood truck. I was honestly surprised by the 2.9-star rating because the photos made the food look delicious, but I decided to give it a try anyway. Overall, I thought it was great. The meat was really good, very flavorful without being over-seasoned or overly salty. I love hibachi-style food, but a lot of places tend to go heavy on the soy sauce and other seasonings, which can make everything taste extremely salty. That wasn't the case here at all. The flavors were well balanced, and nothing tasted salty or overpowering. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, they were soft but not mushy and I liked that they used large pieces of broccoli instead of tiny chopped bits. The only thing I didn't love was the $6 upcharge for fried rice. All of the bowls and plates come with white rice by default, and while the base price of the bowls was fair enough that I still went ahead and ordered the fried rice, the price difference feels a little steep. It seems like they could charge a couple dollars more for the bowls and a couple dollars less for the fried rice instead, because a $6 increase just to put the rice on the grill and add some sauce feels a bit out of line. Other than that, though, the Service was fast and friendly, the food itself was really solid and definitely satisfied my hibachi craving. I'd definitely go back!

When she gave me, my food let me tell one thing i was hungry and i felt the bag was heavy it just hit the spot. 10/10 service was amazing. Very kind. It wasnt hard to find. Did I mention that it comes with six sides of sauce also very good total for everything g i give it a 10/10 recommended!! Paid $57 and a couple cents we did get a a mancania soda. Also the plate is more Than enough for two people. Me and my husband didn't get to finish it.
