    Tasty tacos -- if you can even find this place -- but be prepared to wait a long time, even if you…read moreare the only customer during the off season (late-September).   We ordered fish tacos, once we rounded up the cook/owner, who was at her compost heap instead of the food truck, even though she'd been "open" for over an hour. She then said that she didn't have any rice and beans cooked, so she'd give us four tacos instead of three to compensate. Okay, that seemed fair. Then she confessed that she still had to make the tacos, so it would take about 20 minutes, and suggested that we should go sightseeing. Well, we'd already been sightseeing all morning and were ready to eat! Plus we'd spent hours the previous day trying to find this place because she hadn't updated her location for months online, only updating it the morning we placed our order. Even with the new address, it was puzzling to find. The only sign was on the northern perimeter, giving the impression it was the neighbor's driveway that led to the food truck, so we pulled in there initially. The truck is actually tucked parallel to the side of her house, down a long driveway -- so it's essentially hidden from the road unless one really scans the entire property while driving by.  When the order was finally ready, we couldn't charge the meal because her credit system wouldn't read a standard VISA with a chip or a swipe. So be sure you have Canadian currency. There's no place to sit or eat there, so we drove to the national park to eat. The tacos were tasty and a good quality. We particularly liked that the fish wasn't heavily battered. All the other food trucks we've tried across the country are good-to-go when we are, so the food is ready to be cooked or plated, and the order is ready in minutes. This cook/owner needs to rethink her priorities, especially during open hours. If she'd had all of her food ready to be ordered, we wouldn't have cared if she was moonlighting in the compost while she waited for customers.

    Fantastic sort of "hole in the wall" on the island. Best to call ahead since everything - including…read morethe tortillas - are made fresh to order. We showed up and ordered at the truck, however, which worked out just fine as we waited in the car. The tacos were delicious, and the homemade Mexican chocolate ice cream was amazing. Well worth the stop during your stay on the island, especially if you want to eat something different from the typical island fare.

    We had just gotten off a whale watch, and it was close to many restaurants' closing times…read more Everywhere we tried to go was too close to closing to let us in or they were closed. This was our only option before a 2 1/2 hour drive to Halifax. The service was good. Our server was very nice. But the food was... mediocre. The salad dressing came in little Kraft packets. The meals came with two veggie sides and mashed potatoes. The veggies -- carrots and parsnips -- tasted either canned or boiled or both. The mashed potatoes were clearly instant. I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant and had food that was lower quality than I make in my own kitchen. The scallops were decent which was the only consolation as we had been looking forward to scallops from Digby since before our trip. The restaurant could also use a refresh. The inside looks like it's 1986. The air conditioning was also messed up and the inside of the restaurant was so cold I had to go get a long sleeved shirt from the car. And I am never cold. I rarely leave bad reviews, but I had to tell my honest opinion. I didn't even take pictures of our food which goes to show how disappointed I was.

    The original owner/chef passed away last year and now is apparently run by a friendly Mexican. I…read morehad a pretty good 2-piece haddock and chips, and my wife enjoyed her scallop roll. We ate on the diner side, open for lunch, but there is a much larger dining room as well. Recommended!

    I can't believe I have not written a review on this place yet when. Moving from a megacity, I have…read morehad my fair share of tacos and mexican food. This place is a refreshing addition to the number of restaurants in Kentville. The food is phenomenal. The owner who are super friendly and welcoming, makes sure to have local produce and food items included in their menu, like the locally grown delicious mushrooms, or locally raised beef/pork. Not your typical taqueria but great atmosphere, delicious food. You can have your pick of taco, quesadilla, burrito, in a bowl, or salad, or even in a bag of chips! Every dish is different as you can choose whatever protein and toppings you'd like. Their homemade sauces/salsas are also very good along with the local nova Scotian hot sauces available to add to your taco/burrito/quesadilla for that added extra zing. Aside from the food, they also have a very good drink menu. Real good thirst-quenching margaritas that you can get in different flavors as well. They have also partnered with a local brewery to come up with their own brew - the mexican lager. Every visitor we get, I make sure to bring them to this place and everyone always says they love the food. If you are in kings county, make sure you stop by and get your fill of their delicious food!

    Finally, another awesome restaurant in Kentville with REAL food! Fresh, local ingredients with…read moretacos made to order. The space is small with limited seating, but there is also a small bar top and a great patio right on Main Street (Highway 1). Love the variety of options and super happy and friendly staff. There's an all day breakfast and even a taco paddle (8 tacos of your choice for $50) which is great for sharing with friends to make it super affordable! The bar menu is amazing with so many local options as well as 0% choices. Order food and drinks at the counter - no table service. Love that the space is accessible and easy to get in and out of. Parking right out front on Main Street or the large grocery store parking lot right next door.
