They have a little patch of artificial green grass next to the patio. For you dog to chill and whine at you. We were served by at least four different employees and everyone was pleasant. They were honest about what was good and what wasn't and we needed up with cheap margs and great food. I had the Herradura Trio which was exceptional amount of food for the price and cooked perfectly. Definitely worth the price and too much for one sitting. Lots of leftovers if that's your thing. The taco and enchilada combo was good too especially if you are not THAT hungry. Chips and salsa were great. Bottomless. So is the soda. We had HH margs for $7.50 that got us buzzed fast. Afternoon breeze in the patio was perfect and made for a much better experience than our mosquito infested campground. lol They can accommodate groups up to 25+ and they have plenty of staff to get the job done fast.

We had ordered drinks and they brought chips and salsa to the table. While we were waiting for our food they completely avoided our table. The young women were huddled around the podium by the front door visiting. I finally went up and asked for refills. Several times the women sat down at a table to wipe off menus and visit. The restaurant was not busy at all but they simply never came over to check on us. I could understand lesser service if they were busy but this was not the case. Great food, disappointing service.

Delicious , the extra dollar for carne asada was so worth it. Great texture , flavor and not abunch of fat like some places. I also asked for a side of rice and beans - the rice is white but nice and fluffy and the beans were whole pinto and they gave salt to sprinkle on the beans since they usually put in the burritos only - perfect taste ! We got the spicy hot cause and it was flavorful AND the right amount of heat. Friendly service , good energy and smiles. It's a cute food truck and outside picnic tables had shade and sun, you could hear nearby running water. A must try!

Omg Ya'll! We discovered this small little truck because my husband and I rented The Little Red…read moreCabin next door. We camp in Salida every summer. I'm so glad we decided to stay at TLRC otherwise we wouldn't have discovered this truck. Let me tell you, I was hesitant. I'm from northern Mexico and reside in San Antonio, Tx. so tacos are a big damn deal to me. My in laws had us booked for dinner every night so we had one chance to run next door and grab a couple to go. Looking at the menu I noticed how moderate the prices were. Still, I wasn't expecting much. We decided to get an order of the "Chicken verde" and "Pork Carnitas". The sweet girl at the front was friendly and brief. Which I like, I don't like people talking to me. After we put the order in she asked what kind of salsa we wanted. "Oh. The hottest one you've got!" I confidently responded. We decided to walk away just so they could do their thang. We returned about 10 minutes later and the order was ready. I could hardly stand my excitement. Walking into our cabin my husband decided we should wait a little bit longer to eat. "Wait a minute, *green goh* ! I'm hungry! And I've been wanting a taco for weeks!" I said in my determined Mexican voice. I proceeded to open the neatly packaged boxes. I didn't know which one to pick! I bet you can't guess what I did? Being the sinful glutton that I am, I grabbed one of each. I carefully poured tiny drops of the red salsa. But then I remembered my father told me I had bigger pelotas than my brothers and went a couple of more drops. The chicken verde was the first bite. The lettuce made the first bite a bit crunch. The taste of the chicken verde hit all sides of my tongue and mouth. Then came the punch of the red salsa. They really know what they're doing with this. I was impressed. The chicken was flavorful, tender, and it reminded me of the Christmas pork tamales that my momma makes. The juices were flowing out. And everyone knows that a messy taco is the first sign of a good taco. Next, I had a bite of the pork carnitas taco. The sour cream added delightful hints of tart and the pork was cooked to tender perfection in the red sauce. It was obvious they were cooked for hours. I enjoyed the pork carnitas the most. I didn't add as much red sauce. So dad, you were wrong. I'm a shame. In all seriousness, this was a very special treat. It is especially difficult to find delicious Mexican food in SOME parts of the north. Especially delicious tacos, My husband and I highly recommend that you try these. We're excited to try the rest of their menu next year!
