The service was great and the vendor enjoyed capturing my grandsons attention and he served us up some tasty food with a big smile. My grandson and I had not problem polishing off a chicken and pork tamale. Dang they are really so good. Maybe a little on the pricey side compared to other tamale options out there, but more than worth it when you sink your chops into such fine food. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in town! The setting and ambience are perfect since the stand is located in the parking lot of an automobile service station - an excellent choice for setting up shop!

I had a really disappointing experience here. The food itself might be decent, but the service…read morecompletely ruined it. The guy behind the counter was extremely rude--yelling at customers and creating an uncomfortable atmosphere the entire time. What was even more concerning was the lack of basic hygiene. He was handling cash and then immediately touching bread and food without washing his hands or using gloves. That's not just unprofessional, it's unacceptable for any food establishment. Overall, the behavior and cleanliness standards here need serious improvement. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place unless they make major changes.

Best of all, like many of the images here show, are his toppings! Seriously, cilantro, mayo, jalepeños, siracha, and regular toppings, they work so well and when he makes them it's magical, no joke. I hope his cart re-opens soon as I drove by today looking to get a hotlink but saw he wasn't there. COME BACK SOON!! And everyone... don't forget to tip well here please!!

Finishing off the last bite as I the escalator beamed me up, a really pretty woman smiled at me and said, "I, too, had a hot dog for breakfast..." as she wiped a bit of mustard off her lushest lips. Worked for me!
