I have been driving by this taco stand on US 441 for the past month or so, and each time it has…read moreintrigued me... except that the time was always wrong. But now I have finally had the opportunity, and it was definitely worth it! Typically parked next to the old Hollander's Hydraulics building, this taco stand has been operating in the parking lot for the past month, and appears to be doing quite well. They now have their own porta-potty, mostly for themselves but I would assume guests would be able to use it as well if needed. Access from both sides of the road is easy enough as well as there is a cross-over of 441 right at the entrance to the parking lot. Their menu has all the regular things you would expect with a variety of meats... tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, and tostadas. I went with an order of tacos and a burrito. Now, I have found that tacos have become a bit over-hyped, and therefore expensive for what you get. This was the case as well... while the tacos are good, I just found them to be a bit pricey for what you get. You definitely get a better bang for the buck when it comes to the burrito, and I was quite happy with it. When it comes to ambiance, well... it is a taco truck on the side of the road. There is plenty of parking, but nowhere to sit, so this is purely a grab and go kind of place for the time being. Perhaps as they become more established in the location they will have a chance to put out some picnic tables or something so people can sit outside and eat their meals. I will be returning when the timing is right, as it is on the way home for me!

The restaurant is counter service, with number calling/paging when your order is ready. I found the ordering process to be straightforward, and the person at the counter that took my order was cordial. As it was my first time, I went for more than one item. In my case, I went for a burrito and a quesadilla. The quesadilla came with sour cream and the burrito came with a sauce of my choosing... I went for a spicy red sauce. Both items were excellent, and I enjoyed them. Pricing was about what you would expect, so no issues there either. If I am in the area, this place would definitely be on my list of places to return to.

I'm rarely surprised by food in Gainesville, I feel like I know what to expect and am fine with the "Gainesville version of ___". These are very good tacos by any measure.

When I came, there was no line so I was greeted immediately by Camila and placed my order. It took about 15 minutes to get my order. I got the shrimp tacos and fries. The shrimp at the restaurant is typically fried but there was only two options of sautéed or blackened. I choose blackened. Yeah, I didn't like them as they were a bit dry. The mango sauce was really sweet. I liked that but it was too much juice which made the tortilla really soggy. Also, I asked for flour tortillas but they gave me the corn ones. I took my food to-go so I didn't realized that until I got home. The fries were good as usual, thankfully.
