Authentic, delicious Mexican food. My daughter loved the pollo asado tacos, very flavorful and very…read moregood portion size for tacos! My veggie burrito was good, but perhaps a bit too packed with lettuce, so I might have been better off just getting a bean and cheese burrito. I'm sure the meat-focused burritos are more delicious, but I was looking for something lighter when we visited, and this did the trick. Many of the patrons were Latino when we visited, which seemed like a good sign for the authenticity of the food, especially in Bozeman -- a delightful surprise for us, as we were visiting from California, and just wanted something quick and easy. It's not as fast as a place like Chipotle, but it was worth a little wait. They do have a drive-thru option for convenience as well.

Definitely the best Mexican food I have ever gotten from a drive thru!…read more First off, I didn't realize this spot was located with a gas station until I pulled up and was a little confused and nervous. After reading the great reviews, I knew I had to try it anyways. The service was super fast and friendly in the drive thru and I was happily on my way back to the hotel with some delicious smelling food. All my fears faded away with the first bite. This might be some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. I had the steak fajitas burrito which was not only huge, but SO GOOD. Piping hot and everything was very fresh. Steak was cooked perfectly and it was very filling. We also got a few carne asada tacos and the Bozeman nachos. Everything tasted amazing and the flavors were great. Sometimes I worry if things are made quick, the flavor isn't there, but in this case, it was exquisite. I would've eaten here all week while we were in town. Twice was all we had time for but I will go back every time I am in the area.

I love this place I went in person today, friendly staff, hard working and clean.

You can select from a number of meat options. I chose four: the spicy pork, beef steak, fried pork and the shredded chicken. All were good and they come with pickled carrots and jalapeños, but the best was the spicy pork taco. Really enjoyed these tacos. I also got the refried beans and rice. They were very good. I read about their hot sauce in another Yelp! review and asked for some. Definitely a good addition to the food. Not over the top, but a healthy spice to kick it up a notch. The food truck is neat. You have the whole menu on the side of it where you order, and if you don't want to eat outside, they have indoor seating! Pretty cool! Check it out.

That said the wait was 7-9 minutes, which was our estimated drive time. However, when we arrived there was a line out the door and a gentleman taking names. I told him we were on the waitlist, which he verified, then he bumped us up in the queue. We probably ended up waiting another 10 minutes before being seated. We weren't super hungry, but we wanted to have something prior to our travels. I went with the crab cake Benedict, half order, with hash browns. My oldest got regular pancakes with hash browns. My youngest got the cinnamon roll pancakes. The pancakes are really good size. Both my girls enjoyed them very much. My youngest devoured the cinnamon roll pancakes before I could get a photo. She let me try them and they were really good. The hash browns were excellent! Love it when a place cooks them perfectly--when they are nice and crispy! They serve them with ketchup upon request too. The crab cake Benedict was very decadent and delicious! Loved that it was also served with some arugula--love arugula! The place is quite large and they have some really cool seating options. The restrooms are located very close to the kitchen. It almost looks like you're going down a hallway you aren't supposed to. A couple of the servers saw my hesitation and told me if I go into the kitchen, I've gone too far! Noted! It's got a really nice vibe to it! We would definitely come back!

We started with huge mildly-spicy chipotle pepperjack Housemade Tater Tots, crispy yet soft, soothed by a mild tomatillo ranch dipping sauce. And a luscious plate of Bison Potstickers, under a light layer of somewhat-spicy mango & garlic chili sauces, with asian slaw. The Fresh Asian Ramen salad dish was tender organic mixed greens, lightly-sautéed fresh seasonal carrots peas-in-tender-pods and thin brightly-flavored radish slices, tender light ramen noodles, and our chosen plum-glazed sesame-fried mild tofu (instead of chicken), with added sweet tender pan-fried Idaho rainbow trout filet, all under a light sesame-soy vinaigrette. Quite marvelous. The Kale Caesar, (Their Hail-Caesar joke?) was surprisingly good! By rolling the kale and cross-cutting it into thin strips, chiffonade-style, it was tender to the bite! I actually though it was baby kale! It was dressed with a sprinkling of shaved hard white cheeses, housemade sourdough croutons, and a light splashes of creamy caesar. They would add anchovies if you want. Tender juicy thick Monarch-Elk Burger is just a tiny bit game-y, adding a light tough of sweet extra flavor. It's covered with flavorful melted gruyère, a rich tomato jam, arugula, and a truffled porcini aioli. The bun was fresh and pillowy with a paper-thin egg-wash crust. Quite good! I will say that, other than the novelty, we didnt find a reason to come back to elk rather than a well-crafted beef burger. The lightly-beer-battered local, natural Hutterite Pork Chop Sandwich was tender and sweet like chicken, with honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. We savored the creaminess of their home-brewed sweet draft craft root beer. And of course we dove into their craft beer list. It was fun to taste the brightly colorful smooth somewhat-sweet Huckleberry Cream Ale from Portland's Hopworks Brewery. Lical huckleberries are hard-to-cultivate more-tart blueberry-relatives, which did become a recurring treat in one form or another on this trip. We shared two self-chosen craft-beer flights. Our favorite was the Bayern Brewing kölsch, a light golden color with soft yeasty malty flavors and just a touch of spiciness. And we loved a selection of their many IPAs. Our least-favorite brew was the Lockhorn Gallatin Grapefruit Mint Cider. The flavor was unusual, and it took me the whole flight-glass to come to terms with the tarragon-like undertone. We also bought some merch from their small retail area near the hosts' stand. Montana Ale Works' inside hall is vast, with a high ceiling and the cheerful roar of conversation. There's a large bar in the center of the room. And there's patio seating out front. At 5, they had said it wasnt crowded yet. We got there at 5:30pm on a weekday, and we had about a 20min wait for our table. Staff was welcoming and efficiently busy. We enjoyed our evening. This was one of the nicest meals on this trip.

I ordered the 3 taco (carne asada) plate for $15.00. This came with rice, beans, and prepackaged salsa.

Shrimp were cooked to perfection - juicy yet not too messy. Plenty of benchtop seating right outside the bus - and the perfect stop right nearby the airport on your way to wherever you're off to thereafter. Took a large group of 12 boys there for a bachelor party and they treated us like kings. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good bite that won't break the bank!
