Mikey V's is a local hot sauce shop that sells their brand of hot sauce as well as a selection of other hot sauces and similar products. I'm no hot sauce connoseur so I don't know how well curated it is. I chose one of their mild sauces and struck gold. The peach habanero delight is awesome. A really good put-it-on-everything sauce that just has a little kick. It barely made it two weeks in this house -- I've been putting it on fish, meat, chicken, eggs. Service at the check-out counter was really friendly. Also had to try the tacos in the back. We ordered the barbacoa, the surf and turf, and the spicy pig. The tacos were generously packed with meat but I did find the meat a little bit bland for my taste (good thing it comes with salsa). Now, here's where it gets interesting. We ordered the spicy pig because my husband wanted to try it. They told me it was like a 7 (which is a bit scary). Let me tell you -- it's a 4 at most. I don't know if it's all the elderly gringos traipsing around the Square that are skewing the scale. For reference, I usually get mild at restaurants. I enjoy a weaker medium but generally play it safe with mild. I'm not a spice hound and ultimately consider myself a bit of a wimp with spicy food. And believe it or not, I loved the spicy pig. It was a really nice level of spice and it didn't leave that searing aftertaste in your mouth. So if you can handle some spice, go for it. It was a bit comical because they were acting like it was an atomic bomb -- they made sure to put it in a separate container (which I do appreciate, in case it actually was wildly spicy). I really am grateful for the careful warnings -- I just wanted to point out that they seem to ultimately be for people like my parents (who can barely handle a fleck of red pepper).

Never had it before but it did not disappoint. The cut is fatty since it's the head but the meat was tender and delicious. Paired with the homemade tortillas and salsa it was a 10 outta 10. The staff was so kinda and I was able to tour where they cook all the meat. The time and effort that is put into making the food is a true work of art. The TENDERISM was so real .

Food was served very quickly & it was very fresh and had good flavor. In my opinion, the birria Tacos were not served to do the delicious meat any justice. It was more like plopped wet on the tortillas with the juice. They are not doing the meat justice by serving it this way instead of doing it with the birria & cheese seared into the tortilla then adding cilantro and onions like I've seen at every other place. It makes it taste so much better when it's not wet, but cooked into the taco and you're able to dip it into the consommé. It was a bit overpriced in my opinion. $56 for what you see in the pictures.

Spoken like a true white man. You have the audacity to try to to intimidate me over my opinion! As a matter of fact when I paid a visit to food truck it was much earlier so therefore it was you that I was referring to!! You can't come on yelp and make attempts to degrade me, insult me intimate me,threaten me about my being Black proud!!! It's a good thing you sold the place and got yourself out of the business! You're probably drunk right now by the way yes word gets around. I know a racist when I see one so look in the mirror yes that's you! Can you see the look of distain on your face! Yeah that's you with your old ass! You're living in your last days and you have shown the folks on yelp that you're a bitter old man that's dislikes himself. You have the audacity to think that you can tell me about myself and people will not see how angry and ignorant you are. You are truly a small man that lacks the attention you think you deserve and did not get from your parents. Go get you some therapy and work that out. Your hateful words don't scare me!! It is what it is old man! You see you have all of that anger and hatred in your heart you had to try "handle me" and all you did was show the people who you really are! You had to let me know that the owners wife was Black and yada yada with your drunk ass! Read what you said and then take your ass to an AA meeting!! You funny. read more

When your company vehicle has a massive bumper sticker declaring that you "owe nothing to the illegals, borders should be closed, and they should be sent back"--all while selling tacos as a white-owned business--you're not just ignorant, you're proudly broadcasting your racism. You don't get to profit from a culture you openly disrespect. Until you take a hard look in the mirror and change your ways, this place deserves nothing but 1-star reviews to keep people as far away as possible. Racism is intolerable, and no amount of seasoning will cover up the stench of bigotry. BE BETTER! read more

I recently tried killer taco and was thoroughly impressed! I had the lobster tostada and a green chili chicken taco, both of which were excellent. I didn't realize the portions would be so large, but I'm glad I tried both! The flavors were fresh and perfectly balanced. The lobster tostada had a great mix of seafood and crunch, and the green chili chicken taco was delicious. I'll definitely be returning soon! read more

SALSA , and a LIME wedge! These are good sized tacos, filled with tender beef. Not overly salted, or greasy, or dripping in orange oil or filled with nasty gristle. Just lovely, perfectly seasoned meat. We also order egg and bacon and egg and potato. Always consistent, fresh and fast. Keep this food truck in business! Order from them! We call in our order ahead, and then go pick it up. Never had a wrong order! They have a, cute, well cared for food truck, friendly staff, the outdoor area for eating/waiting is clean, and an assigned parking area (unpaved) is to the right. *(Try not to use the car wash they share the lot with for parking.) **FYI- Their Cedar Park location has fantastic carne guidsada but they don't offer it in Leander. Only change I'd suggest is to have both at both locations!
