    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

It's hard enough to find a diverse selection of foods in Anchorage, but if you want reasonably priced some delicious foods, this is one of my top recommendations. The food truck was super cute, and I ordered "whatever your favorites are, but white-girl spicy." The owner was gracious enough to tell me that everyone has different spice levels and I conceded that my digestive system is often in distress so I asked for the least amount of spice possible. As we waited, we sipped our horchata. It was a chilly winter day, but we didn't mind the iced drink while we browsed the open market outside of Double Shovel. The mountain pupusa was so fresh, delicious and filling. I was able to eat about a third of it and save the rest for later, with the added bonus that it felt nutritious and made with love. The eloté was quite honestly the highlight of my day, tangy and zippy with flavors. This place made my little foodie heart so happy, especially during a time when my dietary options were so limited.
