    Flavorful tacos
    Linda D.

    Went here today and left my phone in the car so I missed taking pictures. I had 2 chicken tacos . Soft tacos and my partner had a beef taco and a shredded beef taco . Both orders were very flavorful and nicely prepared . Thanks to the lovely ladies at the food truck.

    Carne Asada Tacos.
    Alessandro G.

    I love it here! The service is fast and the tacos are always consistently good! Over the years, I've ordered the tacos, tostadas and quesadillas and I can recommend them all with confidence. Very authentic! You order inside and wait around the food truck parked out front. Everything is served on foam plates and wrapped in cellophane, so clearly all the focus is on the food! There is a few tables outside, not "patio dining" by any means as this is a roadside location, but it's a fun spot to grab lunch on a work day.

    Barbacoa & Carne Asada Tacos with Queso Blanco

    My first meal when I moved to Florida was this taco truck and I've been going every since! (7 years now) nothing can't curve that craving like their tacos! (I always add queso and the green salsa is perfectly spicy) Everything is so authentic, affordable and mind blowingly flavorful!

    Order inside. Pickup at truck.

    Passed this place many times but never tried it before. Well you know it's authentic and good before even trying it because there's about 30 brown people outside at the tables either eating or waiting for food at dinner time. This little food truck is MOVING some food out! In the 20 minutes it took from ordering to getting the food, we saw about 15 or more plates of food leave the truck. The line behind us kept growing. Got our food home and AMAZING FLAVORS! I had steak tacos and I am not exaggerating when I say these are the best tacos in Brevard County. Can't wait to try their other stuff. You can also call your order in ahead of time, so that's super helpful.

    Tacos, overpriced you don't get your worth. 1.75-2.00 @ most I would pay.

    Nice spot I would give it another try. Quick tip, when you are eating at a food truck/sit down spot, if the chicken is Boiled, DONT DO IT. luckily these folks don't so we good to go! Good selection of food. Keep up the good work! HHF? Yea mos def!

    Adobada tacos with a side of rice and beans.

    Great authentic Mexican food! You won't be disappointed. I recommend the whole menu. This small place is a real gem and beyond expectations. Inside is a store with a nice variety of items. I will continue to eat here.

    Asada Gorditas

    Good asada tortas, good asada gorditas, good asada burritos! I will try the menudo and tamales this weekend and I anticipate them being good as well...I hope great though. There are limited Mexican restaurants in the area and we've tried about half of them and were very disappointed...bland and watered down Mexican food to say the least. BUT this place is authentic and you will not be disappointed...good, authentic Mexican food is here! They've got a regular customer because we'll be back.

    I wish they had shrimp tacos but the bean burrito I had was really good. They put red sauce on top and it comes with a salad. Plenty of flavorful food for a reasonable price.

    The actual Mexican food seems to be made in the Taco Truck. You need to make your order in the store though.

    The food here is amazing - just tried it today with my son. We had a burrito and tacos - beef. Very good and reasonably priced.
