They make their chips in-House and I absolutely love them. The queso is a varying level of spice based on the day that you order - that's not something I really care about. Nine times out of 10 it's good. I like their enchiladas, their burritos, their tacos, their quesadillas. The only time I ever got something that I didn't like was only because it was too spicy. I will say, they are not consistent with the level of spice. The Horchata's are amazing.

At the 2025 Pittsburgh Taco Festival, I was a customer of their food truck, which offered tacos, tostadas, nachos, churros, plantains, street corn, and agua fresco. Please note that the restaurant serves many additional foods, including quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, rice and beans, tres leches, flan, etcetera. At the taco festival, my husband and I bought the nachos and the churros. The prices were average, and the employee's service was very good. We liked the flavors of our nachos and churros.

I felt so bad for the girl taking orders because she was freezing! I will add this one on my list of food trucks I will come back for.

I will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for them in the future. If you see them around the Burgh, make sure you stop by and try some of their delicious food!

I stopped by here a couple of Thursday evenings ago with my wife for dinner. Our neighborhood had…read moresigned up a number of food trucks to come on Thursdays and this Thursday happened to be The Mac and Gold Truck. Since it's a food truck, there's not too much to say about it other than it's a nice yellow color that reminds you of cheese. For dinner on this day I decided to go with the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese while my wife went with the lobster Mac and cheese. There was maybe a 5 minute wait between ordering and our food being ready and afterwards we headed back to our house to eat. My buffalo Mac and cheese ended up being quite good as both the buffalo chicken and blue cheese added great flavor to the dish. However, as it should be, the Mac and cheese was the star. The pasta itself was cooked nicely and the cheese sauce had a great flavor to it. There was an ample amount of it too and which means that I was able to enjoy Each and every piece of pasta. My wife really enjoyed hers too and we were both pleased that the lobster wasn't exorbitantly priced. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our Mac and cheese and I would be interested in trying more of their flavors.

The cheese is definitely a sharper cheese which made it a winner. It came with lumps of crab and crumbled prosciutto, a great combo.

We just ordered takeout online. I got the Umami Gold poke bowl and it was fabulous! The yellowtail was so fresh. My fiancé got the California Avenue poke bowl and overall enjoyed it, although he thought that the rice was a tad too salty. We got the smaller size of the bowls and they were still huge - we couldn't finish all of the rice! We also split the California Avenue roll and loved it - the pieces were also pretty big. You really get a lot of bang for your buck here! Definitely want to try more of the menu.

I have just discovered this little sushi gem in East Liberty and have found myself coming here…read moreoften for their sushi burritos lately. The seafood they use is actually pretty fresh, and they are generous with the fish portions. I've gotten the Jack and yellow a few times (yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, jalapeno chips, and wasabi mayo) and have been pleased. It does have a kick with the wasabi mayo so beware! I would love to see them offer more sushi burrito options (currently only 3 on the menu) or a build your own style option. The sushi rolls are simple, but yummy. This is a good spot if you're craving simple, fast casual seafood, with quality ingredients. The staff have been so kind too!

The tacos had this really nice smoked flavor with just a bit of a kick to them, and adding hot sauce took them to another level. Everything tasted super fresh and packed with flavor, and the food came out insanely fast. I also got a churro and it was amazing perfectly crispy, warm, and easily one of the best churros I've had(I got it with the Nutella dipping sauce). This place completely exceeded expectations. If you're looking for seriously good tacos with bold flavor and great service, this spot is 100% worth trying.

Christie (@cmnst4 ), the owner, was genuinely so kind when we talked about coming in-warm, easy to chat with, and proud of what they've built. That energy carries through because the staff was extremely friendly and honestly couldn't wait to make up my order. I love that it's an open kitchen. You can see them pressing tortillas, building everything fresh, and actually talk to them while they're making your food. It feels interactive and intentional instead of rushed. We tried a handful of things, but I have to specifically mention the chicken tacos on a corn shell and the quesadilla because they were exactly what I wanted-flavorful, fresh, and done right. Not over-the-top, not trying too hard. Just solid food made by people who care. And that's the kind of spot I'll go back to.

They were really good waffle fries but I was a little disappointed with the size of the fry for 7$ plus 2$ for each dip. Service was fine. A standard food truck experience. Clean presentation.

These tacos are made Mexican style, meaning it comes with onions and cilantro with lime on the side. It also came with a side of grilled onions and potatoes. The potatoes were too soft in my opinion. I think if you were going for grilled side veggies, it's better to make it a tad crispy and browned. For the Taco Tuesday Special, I got the al pastor, steak fajita, and chicken tinga tacos. The best one had to be the al pastor because it wasn't dry and had lots of flavor. I opted for the red morita spicy sauce, and trust it actually has spice and kick to it. The tacos are double layered, which is nice. Decent meal for a Tuesday dinner, their menu is pretty basic for a taco place. For instance, their only dessert is churros with chocolate sauce.
