Always good and affordable food! Nice people. I love their burritos! Tacos are consistently tasty!

Tamarind juice was delicious. Not sure how they sourced the ingredients for the taqueria but it's the real deal! Tacos, burritos, even the refried beans were good - and I'm not normally a fan of them. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for Mexican food. read more

Come hungry, leave happy. Prices are good too! Lots of food and won't break your whole bank. I recommend the corn on the cob for sure, with all the yummy on it, including Tajin. The fried ice cream was bomb too. And the service was helpful and friendly. Oh and if you're wanting aguas frescas the Jamaica flavor was soooo good gang. Ok goooo!!! Try it!! read more

This was marvelous! The food was delicious and I did not have to wait long for my order. It hit the spot and satiated my craving for good Mexican food. I got the taco meal deal with two birria tacos, rice (subbed out beans for more rice) and a horchata. Then I got a side of street corn. It was all *chef's kiss.* The man working was quick to take my order and fulfill it. I definitely would eat here again if I'm in the area! I think it's more of a drive thru, but I was able to walk up and order since it wasn't busy. read more

There's lots of open parking, and this Food Truck is situated next to a coffee stand, in case you need a caffeine fix afterwards. I've been curious about Tacos Al Pastor for some time, but wasn't sure if I'd like them. I have no issues with cilantro, i love the stuff. But i do prefer a crispy taco shell. My main fear, is that there will be fat, or gristle on any meat i get. I have seen how the meat for Al Pastor is cooked, so i have reservations. See, i can ONLY eat fat on meat, if it has a seared crispy outside, and is fully rendered and melted inside. So i avoid Carne Asada, and usually only go for ground beef fillings. When i make carnitas at home, i remove every scrap of fat, that's how bad i am. I don't blame restaurants, i know I'm the issue here. Anyway, i ordered 2 tacos Al Pastor with pork, he ordered the burrito with beef. The way that I've always seen Tacos Al Pastor, is with two tortillas, and the filling on top. These only had 1. There was lots of meat, some lime, diced onion, and plenty of cilantro. I also got sour cream to put on. Ok the meat was seasoned quite well, and flavoursome, but i DID encounter squishy fat, and when i do, i spit it out. I really cannot choke it down. I also encountered some of the bouncy, chewy type of gristle. I wouldn't get these again. It's just me - other people don't seem to have these issues with fat that I do, and i get it. It's a textural thing. So don't take my word for it, if you don't mind some fat on your meat - i know that where the flavour lies. He enjoyed his burrito, and ate all of it. He also got a Pina Colada Crash, which i had a sip of, but i also hate icy, and cold things. The flavour was nice, but i got a freeze headache instantly. The total for the food and drinks (i got a can of Pepsi) was $30 even. To be honest, I've seen bigger burritos, and 2 small tacos did not fill me whatsoever. I'm already hungry, an hour and a half later. It's a new business, and I am not going to remove stars, because new businesses need support to help them flourish. I definitely would go back, as there's several dishes on the menu that I'd like to try, and the pork was nicely cooked and seasoned well. And it's a decent menu - quite extensive for a Food Truck. read more

The food is great, so I'd definitely recommend to try them! I love the steak quesadillas! My only complaint is their drive thru system. I've been going there for months and and it was always order on one window and drive around to the other window to pick up your order, but now every time I go, it seems kinda like a mess. Some days people are ordering on both windows, then some days it's back the other system. I've even gone there and seen someone pulled up to the window the completely wrong direction with their passenger side pulled up the window. It would just be a lot easier here if they had one system and stuck to it! I don't care if it's an order on one side and pick up on the other, or if it's order on both sides. It just gets annoying when the system is different every time I go. Other than that, the food is great! read more

The tacos are okay but we ordered their carne asada fries for the first time and they were absolutely disgusting especially for how much we paid for them. The fries were soggy and there was no salt and hardly any flavor. read more

The service was super quick and the owners were an absolute delight! They even let you know about being able to order ahead and have that little punch card for extra goodies!! It's a cute little building with some pretty bomb birria tacos!! I never get disappointed with my orders! Absolutely delicious! Thanks so much!!! I would include a photo, but... I ate it all... read more

The food was great! I do like the pastor better than the asada though. The asada could use some more flavors in my opinion But it is not bad. read more

Made a last-minute decision to try this place for lunch this week and mix it up from the usual go to's --first visit and pleasantly surprised! The pastor tacos were the standout, with the birria not far behind. I'll definitely be back. read more

Good stuff! I had the birria taco meal and my wife had the Tacos Al Pastor meal. We both highly enjoyed our tacos. I especially enjoyed the seasoning on the birria tacos--just a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. It works so well! She also opted for the Jamaica agua fresca and it really good. We didn't order ahead, so we got to hang out in the car a little bit, but that was fine with us. The chef (owner?) felt bad and gave us a free cup of Mexican rice pudding--at least I think that's what it was. It was tasty, though I don't like raisins but they were easy to pick off the top (they were sprinkled on). Overall, a good visit and we'll be back! read more

Anchorage has a flourishing street food scene and this is a great addition to the expanding culinary landscape. In fact, some of the best meals I've eaten in this town were off the fender of my jeep! I always rate a Mexican restaurant based on their street tacos. While it's one of the most simple dishes, consisting of a tortilla, meat, cilantro and onions, it tells you everything you need to know. There's nothing to hide behind, if the meat isn't seasoned well than you'll know how well they cook. They've only been open 4 days but I can say with certainty this is one of the best al pastor tacos in the State, I definitely recommend checking them out! It's still early so I only gave them 4 stars because of little stuff. For example, they're cash only at the moment but they're working on it. I think my rating will quickly change to a 5 once they get up and running. read more

I was excited to try this new food stand and it did not disappoint! My family tried a little of everything...tacos, gorditas, pozole, chicken wings and smoothies. It was all delicious and difficult to pick what was the best. The pozole broth was full of flavor with a hint of spice and tender pork. My child loved the Mangonada which was presented beautifully. Also, excellent customer service. We will definitely eat here again. read more
