Smash N' Sizzle

Went on a Friday night and the line got kinda long by like 9:45 as expected. I didn't think the…read morewait was too bad though. Tacos were $2.50 like most of the other trucks/stands that I've been to in the area and super good. I also liked that they cucumbers with some sort of salsa on them instead of just plain cucumbers I liked both the cabeza and the pastor a lot, but suadero was the one that stood out to me the most compared to previous tacos that I've had. Def recommend giving suadero a try if you haven't yet! Two of my friends tried it for the first time and liked it a lot. Only thing that would've made it better is if the pastor taco came with pineapple

I've been coming to Tacos El May for a while now. They started as a stand in front of the Bank of…read moreAmerica around Bolsa and Magnolia, and back then it was always a little unpredictable. Sometimes they'd be there, sometimes they'd move, sometimes they'd get shut down by the cops lol. Now they've upgraded to a truck and have actual hours, so definitely check their Instagram before heading over because they post their schedule and specials there too. The tripas extra crispy are FIRE. That's easily my favorite thing here and what keeps me coming back. I usually get tripas and asada, then occasionally switch it up with pastor. The asada is good, pastor is okay, but extra-crispy tripas is the move for me. One thing that puts this place higher on my taco list is the sauces. I actually like all three of them, and not every taco spot can say that. Give me good meat AND good sauces and I'm happy. They keep the menu pretty simple but have things like nachos, quesadillas, burritos and different specials. I've seen $5 tortas and discounted tacos depending on the day. Their aguas frescas have consistently been good too. They used to be cash only, which wasn't exactly a problem considering you're literally standing in front of Bank of America lol, but they take Zelle now too. My only question mark is the portion since moving into the truck. On my most recent visit, it seemed like I got noticeably less meat on my tacos than I used to. I've been here enough times without that problem that I'm not holding one visit against them yet, so we'll see if that was just a fluke. Grab your cilantro, onions and sauces and you're good to go. I've been back plenty of times and I'll keep coming back. Extra-crispy tripas, all three sauces and an agua fresca -- that's my order.

Was in next door and had drinks so looking for some solid good late night foods. Went here and was behind 3 people but it move quite quickly. Typical taco food truck menu I would say but they do have 2 separate bars: one for the sauces and the other is for the veggies and they have plenty of it plus it well clean and well stocked up. Service is nice and friendly, not bad for waiting. Ordered a burrito ($11) with 1/2 marinated pork (which is quite good), and 1/2 with tongue (interesting, not bad but I wouldn't do it again for the burrito, for taco - yes) w/o cheese & bean - basically meats w/ rice and everything else. The portion is quite HUGE, 2 people can finish w/ that for sure. Overall, it was very tasty burrito w/ a lot of condiments, she even gave me grilled onions with it l, which are sweet & delish. Glad that I decided to stop by to give it a try. Will definitely come back for more.

It appears they may be adding unauthorized tips or hidden fees to transactions. When I questioned the workers about the discrepancy, they refused to explain or fix it and simply claimed they were not the owners. Be extremely careful when paying here. Always do the math yourself and demand an itemized receipt before handing over your card!

Just Hot Dogs is basically a little walk-up shack with a drive-through that's been sitting in the same parking lot forever. Businesses around it have come and gone, but this place is still standing. It's a true little mom-and-pop type of spot. I think it's a couple running it, and every time I've been here they've been really nice. More importantly, the food has stayed consistent. They're known for their Chicago-style hot dogs with the poppy seed buns, but they have quite a bit more than just hot dogs. I've tried the roast beef, which comes with the dip, and their fries are really good. They taste like they're made fresh and I'm pretty sure they're hand-cut. They also have things like chocolate-covered bananas and Balboa bars. I got a chocolate-covered banana this time, they asked if I wanted nuts, wrapped it up in foil and had it ready to go. One little thing I really appreciated was that when I told them some of my order was to-go, they actually asked when I wanted them to make it so it wouldn't sit around and get soggy. It's such a small thing, but that's the kind of care you get at places like this. I've been here a few times now, and the quality has always been consistent. The prices are also really reasonable, which feels harder and harder to find nowadays. It has that old-school neighborhood donut-shop kind of feeling where you recognize that it's just a couple of people running their little business and doing their thing. I hope they stay around for a long time. Places like this are getting harder to find, and I'd much rather spend my money here than at another chain.

Polish Sausage taste very promising you have to come and try it out. It be a must to try.

The menu had two types of wraps and couple of drinks. The line was short in the morning, we got to put in our order quickly. We ordered one of each wraps, the ronto morning and the garden. The service was super fast, they handed us the wraps within a minute. There were few tables available to sit. In the middle of the dining space they have a jet engine in the middle imitating the grilling of meat. I actually like both the wraps a lot. The garden had excellent flavor from the kimchi slaw, sweet pickled cucumber and the plant based sausage. The morning wrap was like typical breakfast sandwich, made with egg, pork sausage, shredded cheese and peppercorn sauce. I wish they served the wraps in a better way, just putting them between a paper made them really sloppy. They were expensive too and no discount offered for Disney credit card. But overall very decent food.

The asada was pretty typical in my opinion, nothing really too special, but pretty solid. The tortilla they use is quite thick, even if they use 2 tortillas. Although, I actually enjoyed the al pastor one better. It was more greasier, but it tasted more charred and had more flavor to it. It's a small taco truck with no seating around, so it's better to just grab and go.

Their cheeseburgers are still what I feel to be leagues better than local fast food chains in its area and their #1 combo is competitively priced that I also feels like it beats local fast food chains there. I do wish the menu pictures were more genuine to its products rather than if it feels like it was painted or drawn. But this is an extremely minor gripe.

Just the right flavor, texture, amount of batter/crust, etc. I'm sorry I waited a few weeks to post this, now I can't remember all the details. But it's like the old saying how you can't always remember what someone said or did but you can least remember how they made you feel. Well this food made me feel pretty good! LOL. My family and I raved about it the whole way to the HB airshow that weekend and were sad we hadn't ordered more. While I'm not into processed meats, I did take a bite out of the dirty dog my son ordered and that too was a winner! It was clearly gourmet, on some fancy French bread or some other higher class carb, not just some throw away bun from the Walmart next door heh. And had a generous topping of bacon as well. Again I apologize for my sparse description here. Another standout item was their drinks--tremendously refreshing, esp during a heat wave. I think every drink was packed with a bunch of freshly sliced lemons in a plastic tub, and I'm a sucker for tart. You could even refill it yourself days later to make your own lemonade heh. The takeaway here for me is that if I were to ever eat fish tacos anywhere else from now on, I will always compare them to the ones from here, and will probably just end up asking myself how soon can I make it back here. And a super nice lady manages the truck by the way, or rather, more like a mini school bus or shuttle that's been awesomely repurposed and psychedelically painted. :) May you stay in biz forever!
