Head of lettuce & unmelted cheese.

Quesadilla does not have melted cheese with a head of lettuce inside the "quesadilla". You know when you all excited to get you one of them greasy quesadillas for lunch? Yeh, this ain the place for some lovin. My microwave melted the cheese better.

Fajita torta

So many people recommend this place and last two times I tried the tacos and hated them. Meat was so dry. Gave it yet another try today and this is the dryest torta ever. The bread is so hard, there's of course barely anything!!!!!! I do not recommend this place ):

I tried three tacos (see photo), and they were perfect little Mexican no frills tacos on double corn tortillas with cilantro and onion. Simple, cheap and delicious!

This place is super close to my house. The service is pretty quick! They have workers here that speak very good English. They also take call in orders! The meat they serve is well seasoned. Their tacos are $1.50 and on taco Tuesday between the hours of 4-5 tacos are $1.00! Also, if you check in you get a choice of a corn taco for free. Enjoy!

Pretty legit

I think I found my new taco truck spot! customer service was great! one thing that I was super Happy about was that they take debit/credit card as form of payment. I hardly ever carry cash with me so not having to go to an ATM to get cash out every time Im craving tacos is a big deal to me :). with my meal I ordered a large agua de tamarindo, I MUST say their aguas frescas are legit. They are all natural, not that powder kind. I would give them a 5 but this being my 1st time visiting this place I think 4 stars is the best for now. It's literally work down the street from my job so I will continue coming here for lunch and update my review at a later time.

I ordered the beef burrito, it was very good. Only problem is the wait time. Other than that, I like this taco truck.

Came here because my BF wanted to show me what his late nights at Rice were like after a few beers…read more I was tempted to order more than just the hot dog, but we had a heavy lunch. I swear the Bulgogi Fries were screaming my name, though. Yoyo's Hotdog - Yoyo--YO. This thing slaps. I definitely craved a Coke or a beer while eating this because that salt kicks your taste buds' *ss. The caramelized onions paired with the crunchy onions were a double whammy that could topple a few hot dog title holders. The real winner, though, was the sauce--definitely something Asian-inspired. But hey, I'm running on five hours of sleep, and that's the best my smooth brain could come up with to describe the experience. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

In Houston on a trip and was recommended to try this place out while I'm here. Service is super…read morefast and the customer service is great! I got their famous hotdog with spicy mayo, french onion, sautéed onions, and hot sauce. (That's how it comes standard) don't get me wrong it's definitely a lot going on from the flavors and the messiness of the dog, but the flavors balance out very well and the all beef hot dog is delicious. There's no spice from the mayo or hot sauce so if you don't like spice you'll be fine. I also tried their bulgogi fries which came with bulgogi meat, jalepenos, cheese and cilantro. My first reaction was it was delicious but it wouldn't be something I would get again, but after I kept eating it I realized this is actually really good and now when I go back I'll definitely try it again. Overall I definitely recommend this place to visitors or even locals
