    We used TurboTaco for a backyard wedding of 150 people, first post Covid-19 big event, at my house. They did an amazing job keeping up with the demand. Everyone was raving about the delicious food, I was partial to the fish taco. Thank you for a memorable experience, I will be stalking your locations all summer.

    Jay and his crew did an amazing job catering our outdoor grad party. They showed up on-time, very accommodating, and professional. The taco menu was great. The Turbo (signature fish taco) was the biggest hit and in high demand. Jay and his team were a lot of fun and made it a great day. I asked them for "hot sauce"and they made me pay for that! Best catered food-truck-grad-party we've experienced.

    "Surf & Turf Tacos" in the sense that they have fish and they have land-meats. Blending them might be kind of gross.

    THE WOOT!: Fresh ingredients, some nice variation across the food-truck-sized menu, and a nice zippy "Turbo Sauce" that works well with everything. Plus, today I happened to be out and about, needing lunch while running errands, and there it was. Nothing beats a serendipitous food truck. And $1 sodas? Awesome! THE MEH: Nothing here comes close to being actually bad, but I had one fish and one steak ("surf and turf," like the sign says), and in terms of authenticity or spice, these are definitely tacos that qualify for, at best, "kinda flavorful for Minnesota." Make use of those bottles of hot sauce, up on the fun surfboard countertop thing (which for some reason seems really high up, like collarbone level, perhaps just because of where it was parked today). And be aware: my fish taco featured a single, decent-sized, tortilla-length strip of breaded, deep-fried cod or similar flaky white fish. Like, the exact same fish served with fries and malt vinegar would basically blend in at Brit's Pub. "Baja" to me means something else, something with spices directly on bite-size chunks of fish (and maybe, like... cornmeal?), but this was crunchy, not too greasy, and satisfying. The cabbage/ jicama slaw kind of thing on top was cool and crunchy, and the Turbo Sauce added flavor, if no real heat. The steak (not carne asada, mind you; the menu says steak and that is correct) seemed pretty sparse on the steak, maybe 2 or 3 ounces, and most bites had no shredded sharp cheddar at all. There was WAY too much shredded lettuce, as well. Again, yay for Turbo Sauce, but it turns out that grilled, fajita-style green peppers get a little gross when they get cooled down to room temperature by a pile of cool ingredients. THE WTF: As a strict tomato-hating picky eater, I read menus very carefully. The pork taco lists pico de gallo, but the steak says salsa verde and the fish lists only the Turbo Sauce. Nothing I saw actually said it had tomatoes. Both of the tacos I got had them. They were fresh and firm and if I didn't despise tomatoes with an unholy fervor, they would have been great I'm sure. I didn't say anything, but there were reasons for that. One is that I try to appreciate the dishes people put together with care and planning, and I'm willing to at least give something a try. (I did; yep, they were tomatoes all right, so off they went - I wasn't given or offered a fork, so I used my fingers.) Another is that it was hot, and the window was inconveniently high up, and there were people behind me. That meshes well with me being a typical conflict-averse Minnesotan. So much so that I won't even take off a star for it. Bottom line, if today you're out of green salsa so you're putting pico on, or if the dish has tomatoes all the time but somehow it's not on the menu, please stick a sign on the damn menu. Just make shit match, already. A slightly less petty or obsessive wish would be to maybe put some spice in the fish batter, and if the steak is simmered along with the peppers it's weird that I can't tell. Nonetheless, there is a lot to like with this truck, and it could become something great.

    I've had the chorizo and fried avocado tacos. Both were amazing. Prices are fair and the sauce on them was amazing!

    Orale will definitely become one of my new go-to spots!…read more I got the swimming burrito with carne asada and my partner got the swimming burrito with carnitas. Both were good, I would definitely recommend the carne asada. We also got chips and guac. The guacamole had a strong lime taste and was so unbelievably delicious, I would go back just for the guac. There is a small parking lot in front of the restaurant and a ton of street parking. The staff were very nice and helpful. We ordered at the kiosk and they brought our food to our table. It looked like the bartender also waits on the tables in the back. There's a section of the restaurant that's a bit loud, but we easily found a spot to sit in a quieter area.

    The food is pretty decent. I lived in Querétaro, Mexico, and spent 8 years in Phoenix, so I know…read morethe difference between authentic and Americanized Mexican food; this is firmly the latter. It's a bit whitewashed and leans more Cal-Mex than anything you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not complaining. I love a good California burrito and asada fries, so this style has its place (especially in Minnesota). Service can be slow. It took us about an hour to get two burritos yesterday and the restaurant didn't look busy. Maybe they were just short staffed. My main issue is the salsa. They limit you to one packet per person, and it's not the slightest bit spicy. And where are the limes? This place desperately needs a salsa bar with real options and some heat. Bump up the salsa selection and stop rationing it, and this would be a solid spot. For now, I'll keep getting this to go and buying my own salsa and limes.

    Everything was delicious here! My sis was recently in town so had the great excuse to eat somewhere…read moreI've been meaning to try. My preference is usually to go out for Asian food but heard so many good things about this place that I convinced my sis to try it with me and wow, left feeling impressed and very full. What we ordered: - Started w/ some non alcoholic drinks. I love horchata so had to get that & enjoyed it. - Corn bread w/ caviar - yum & great way to start - Seared scallops - so good - Charred eggplant tostada - loved this & a must-get - Shrimp tacos - I was worried that the tempura would just make it taste like fried but it didn't, it's really light. I liked these but could of used some saucy/ juicy component that feels more satisfying w/ tacos - Carne Asada - was not bad but just kind of tasted like meat I could get other places - Corn elote - it's what u expect but it was tasty & nice to have another veggie - Churro dessert - perfect way to end our meal. This is a must-get even if u are full! Overall the atmosphere is great. The server was very friendly and it never felt like we were waiting a long time for anything. The place feels but open & natural accents. It was def busy in here & it felet like we were close to some tables but it still felt comfortable to enjoy the meal while catching up w/ my sis. I will def be back to try other items!

    We booked reservations for this place for a work dinner and I was eagerly waiting to try it out…read more We ended up getting here a bit early and tried some amazing cocktails. I tried a cocktail that the bartender recommended and wow did it pack some flavor. We wanted to try all the tostadas and flavor, so we ordered the watermelon salad, beef toungue tostada, the scallops and the Cacio e Pepe tacos and man were we buzzing from all the flavors. We were all very full, but we had to try the churro dessert. I will say this place is very much captivating with decor, the flavors and the service. It's a must try if you're a foodie.
