Coming from out of state and looking for a place to eat while in the area, someone suggested this taco truck. I have to admit, the place from a distance seems a little sketchy due to the neighbor but DO NOT let that stop you from eating here. This place has the best burrito I have ever had, anywhere! I had an Asada burrito and it came out with a nice crispy bottom as the tortilla had been toasted perfectly. Highly recommend!

Great steak tacos and rice well prepared and cooked. The wait it long but definitely worth the wait and you won’t be disappointed.

Yeah, it's true... This crazy taco truck has GREAT food, and a dining room (they park next to a building thar has a tiny room with tables and chairs) DO NOT MISS the huevos rancheros. If you have it for breakfast you'll want to skip lunch altogether; eggs, tortillas, carne asada, chilis, avocado, beans, rice, tortillas... the works.
