    OK although I ate here 2 days ago I was trying to find the right words for my review lol. This truck has been on my radar for a while and I could not decide what I wanted so I ordered 3 things. A chicken burrito a fish taco fish taco and a chicken mulita. Obviously I could not eat it all-in-one day so I saved the burrito and ate it A-day later which might I add was still very flavourful.. Is the fish taco I thought would be more like a Baja style fried a fried fish but it was not it was yeah it was minced fish however it was still flavourful but it is not what I expected. This thing called the mulita I can't even explain it but it's very good lol. If I had to put it in a family it would be in the quesadilla family I guess. Definitely stop by this truck if you see it usually on Ave N and 20th West.

    Chicken burrito and Asada tacos   Fire!!! Great food!

    Still loving our Taco Truck in the AV! Yes, this is a weekly thing for us! Why not if you got the best Taco Truck in the AV up the Street from home. Awesome Taste & Great Service. Txt & pickup, easier than Rocket Science

    The food truck.

    First timer. They were in the Walmart parking lot in East Lancaster. I tried one asada taco. It looked good with lots of meat. Although I don't mind chewy meat but it also had no flavor. The green sauce was slightly sweet with no spice. The red sauce had a slight kick. The price was good at $2.49 for a taco but with no flavor to the meat I wont be back

    This food truck has really good tacos, especially the queso tacos de birria. Must try them!

    Another trip. Great service quick and decently priced. After. Among another trip here. I have to say it tasted even better. Two carne asada tacos which are street tacos a cheese quesadilla with carnitas which has so much red juice in it it was a hhhh mazing. And a queso taco with pollo. Very tasty and some good cheese there. All plates were great and served with small garnish a side of sour cream and great fresh tasting red salsa.

    Food is always great , even when I'm getting it delivered. I'm especially a fan of their carne asada fries and their street tacos.

We had visited once before for dinner and loved the food, so when we needed a quick breakfast before work, we knew exactly where to go. We arrived around 9 a.m. and were greeted right away with friendly smiles. The restaurant was very clean, and we were told to sit wherever we liked. We ordered the menudo, a sopes plate with rice and beans, and a breakfast burrito. They also brought complimentary chips and salsa to the table. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The menudo was especially delicious and was served with fresh cilantro, onions, and lemons. The sopes were excellent, and every dish tasted homemade and well prepared. What really stands out about El Mora is the service. Everyone who works there is friendly, upbeat, and welcoming. Our waitress checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed, and we never felt rushed. The atmosphere was pleasant, with great music playing overhead. Although the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, within about 15 minutes it had filled up, which says a lot about how popular this place is. Excellent food, excellent service, and a very clean restaurant. We will definitely continue coming back whenever we're on that side of town. Highly recommended!

    Baracoa Cuban Restaurant was an amazing discovery when we stopped for a lunch pitstop on our drive…read moreup towards Tehachapi. I can easily see them being a favorite in the Palmdale area. There was plenty of parking in this lot. The entrance is located through their patio, which can be a bit counter intuitive. We came at opening and the restaurant got really busy during our time there. Initially we were looking at the sandwiches because it was lunch time, but then we were going to a wedding that night so we decided to eat something more filling since the ceremony and speeches always delay the eating. All entrees here are served with black beans and rice or congri, and 3 fried plantains. My boyfriend had the Ropa Vieja ($28) with the congri and I had the Lechon Asado ($25) with the rice and beans. Our food came out pretty fast after we ordered. My boyfriend's Ropa Vieja is a Cuban braised beef. The congri is basically a mix of the rice and beans. This dish was super tasty and the shredded beef was so tender with the bell peppers and onions. I can really taste the red wine and tomato sauce in the base. I took a few bites but in general I preferred my dish more, and vis versa he enjoyed his dish more. My lechon asado is a roasted pork that is super super tenderrrrrr. It was so sweet with the grilled onions and it had the perfect amount of fattiness without being over bearing. SO GOOD! Love the plaintains too. I'm glad I got the rice and beans option because I would have gotten too full too quick with the congri. I barely touched my beans and only got through half of my rice. Both dishes came with this super tasty garlic butter sauce that I poured on my rice and made it even tastier. It was so good. One thing I didn't enjoy about the experience was the flies attacking us and our food. Since the door is open and connected to their outdoor space, it leaves the opportunities for flies to come in. We had to play defense with the flies the whole time. The service here is a little slow. Especially when I was trying to get back on the road I wasn't feeling too patient. I waived down multiple staff members too. Also I got hit with an undisclosed 3% surcharge for using my credit card. I only found out after I got the receipt. I would have paid in cash if I knew. *dislike* LOVE LOVE LOVE the food. Might be the best Cuban food I've ever had... and I've been to Florida where there was a lot of Cuban spots. Room for improvement with service, flies prevention, and the disclosure of the credit card fee.

The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

The one board has a sign telling you to "Please drive to the window." Thankfully there was no one ahead of me. Since they can't even start your order until you get to the window I couldn't imagine being second or third in line as my wait, after ordering, was 10 minutes. At the window I was greeted by a very friendly older gentleman who took my order. He asked if I would like him to add some chips in. I had ordered a carne asada burrito. It was very good. In addition to the rice and beans there was lots of meat. A good facelift and fixing the ordering speaker would them up to a 5 star.
