Steak Huarache to go
Kyle J.

My wife and I have been coming here for years. if you want delicious and authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. The location is a food truck where you place your order and then go inside to pay. you can eat outside at the tables or take it to go. The food is flavored very good and comes out quickly. Inside the store there's a variety of fresh drinks, fresh tortillas, ice cream and grocery items. We come here at least once a week. Food is priced very fairly and staff is friendly.

2 Gorditas with Steak

My first visit was very welcoming - I stopped by because everyone at my husbands job comes here for lunch and the parking lot is always full when I drive by I'm glad that I did! The young woman inside helped me with my first order and explained that usually most people will first order at the truck, and then go inside to pay, then the chefs will call out your order when it's ready These were very filling, & delicious. If you like some spice, there's a mild green sauce they come with and it compliments them well. If you like to eat A lot - A lot then you might be able to eat 3 lol

The food here was excellent. The service was good and fast too. For the price , I got a lot of Al pastor meat in my burrito and it was juicy, flavorful, and tender.

This was the ABSOLUTE BEST Mexican food we have ever had!! Service was fast and friendly. Remember it is a food truck - so if you don't need all the bells and whistles of a 'sit down' restaurant but you want AUTHENTIC food this is the place for you!! Tons of foot traffic - that says a lot about the quality of food. Outdoor Seating in the back if you like or take it to go but whatever you do eat here!!

A trio of asada, chicken and carnitas tacos. The asada was my favorite

I'm becoming a regular at this darling little taco truck. Delicious street tacos with home made salsas with lots of varieties for protein. My only take away is that they offer items not listed on the menu that I'd love to try but am not sure what they offer. So far I've enjoyed their rice and beans, pastor, chicken and asada tacos. Their carne asada platter is ginormous and they offer natural juices inside the store. Great set up, family owned and very inexpensive. An absolute win!

TAcos!!

The best authentic Mexican tacos in Deland. It's all about the two sauces they have. You have to try both.

Hubby and I come here pretty frequently, and this place has officially become part of our little…read moreSunday ritual. It's a grocery store where you can pick up your weekly groceries--meat, produce, pretty much anything you need. But the BEST part? The little taco spot inside the store. This is what you call a true hole-in-the-wall hidden gem! The tacos NEVER disappoint. They're always packed with meat, juicy, flavorful, and just so damn good. I'm not even exaggerating when I say these are probably some of the best tacos I've ever had. I've had tacos from plenty of big Mexican restaurants, and honestly... none of them compare to this little spot. My personal favorite is the al pastor but honestly, ALL of their tacos are so good. Al pastor is just my weakness LOL. And the prices are so reasonable too! Now hubby and I are making it our weekly Sunday ritual: come grocery shop for the week and grab some tacos while we're here. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, too, which makes the experience even better. I honestly wish I could give this place a 10 out of 5 because that's how good it is! Seriously, check this place out. You won't be disappointed!

I was visiting Blue Spring State Park and craving authentic tacos... Found this little spot on Yelp…read moreand I was so glad I decided to drive that little bit out of my way to try it! These mayyyy have been the best tacos I've ever had. I sat in the car inhaling them like a little gremlin because as soon as I smelled them, I knew I couldn't wait. The homemade salsa was incredible and just the right level of heat. This place was also incredibly affordable - I had three of the traditional asada tacos for under 8 bucks. Five freaking stars from me.

First time eating cactus and drinking tamarind, great…read more Loved it. Thank you. Tasty. Quick. Kind. Good food.

As a seasoned Yelp reviewer, it's important to stick to your guns and give accurate ratings. Yes,…read morethis place has very high reviews, but IMO, they're a bit overinflated. Here's why. This is a very small, strip mall kinda joint. And that vibe kinda controls the ambience. It's a place to eat, pay your check and leave, not to hang out and get comfortable. The servers are nice and it has a genuine small business feel. That's a good thing. Also, it's obvious that this place does care about the food they're serving and their customers. But let's get to the food in detail. We ordered tacos - cabeza, al pastor and carne asada - with chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were ok, but the chips were kinda thick and heavily fried. The tortillas on all the tacos broke apart in every instance, splitting so the insides fell out in the tray. This makes me think they are just food-service grade and not made there at the restaurant. For the cilantro and onion, they used red onion, which is unique, but definitely not the norm for authentic tacos. The tacos were also meat-heavy and far greasier than most tacos I've eaten. This led to some serious digestive issues for myself and my accompanying guest. We both went through it. I know, TMI, but it's worth pointing out because the greasy nature of the meat was notable while eating, as was the overly-fried nature of the chips. Finally, when asking for hot sauce, they don't have a house-made pica. It's just Yucateco, which anyone can buy at a grocery store. Don't get me wrong. This isn't a bad restaurant, but it's worthy of 3 out of 5 stars, which to me is a C grade. Average. A fair score for this place.

The food here is a solid 10!! I have driven past this location many times, and never even knew that…read moreit was where it is. It was a very pleasant surprise after learning about this business and stopping in to sample their amazing dishes! OMG!! What an amazing array of food on the menu! Less is better, and what they do is absolutely amazing! I was not able to eat the entire burrito at the first sitting, so I've had to finish it the next evening! The burrito was HUGE and so very good! Everything here is made fresh and from scratch. The staff and crew and extremely pleasant and patient. They are wonderful and I am seriously looking forward to my next visit here!

I heard this place has THE best Mexican food in Deland, so I was exited to try it. I thought it…read morewas just a food truck type of spot, but it was actually a market with a little bit of everything, including hot food and ice cream. My wife and I arrived and tried to find parking in the lot, but it was very small with lots of vehicles parked all over, so we went to the side of the building and that's when I saw the food truck. It looked operable with outdoor seating, but no menu. So we parked in the grass area and went inside the market. The inside is much larger than it appears from the outside. The back area has some tables to dine-in and it a small section more towards the back has homemade ice cream! Onto the food.....they have a large menu with lots of options. Picture ALL of your favorite Mexican foods and then some! We tried the 5 street tacos with Jibarito (drink) special for $13.50. We added a couple of supreme tacos, a plate of refried beans and yellow rice, and a tamale. Note: We ordered chicken for the tacos and tamale. While the chicken was just ok, I would imagine that any other meat would have tasted better. Everything came out to about $25 and tasted good. Surprising, the best part were the refried beans, which is a first for me because those are usually afterthoughts at every other place I've been. So the verdict is in....is Crystal THE best Mexican food in Deland? No, but it's pretty solid. It reminded me of a gas station version of Garcia's down the street.
