“ Love this place great Asad tacos. Definitely recommend it! Open 24 hours too. ”
“ Was having a hard time finding a place to eat the other night, when I came across this food truck on instagram and boy did I make a great decision coming here. Meat cooked to perfection while using my personal favorite kind of tortillas, yellow corn!!! Would definitely recommend this spot to grab a bite to eat, 10/10 in my book! ”
“ Best Birria Tacos I've ever had. I'm from/live in Seattle so we don't get authentic tacos. First day in San Diego, we stopped here for dinner and I got the Birria tacos. Delicious. 3x tacos & the Birria soup came in a small cup with a lid. There was no meat inside the soup, which was different than how I've had it in seattle, but it was good none the less. I just wish they gave you more soup. Tacos had shredded beef onion and cilantro inside and dipping them in the soup .... PERFECTO! My daughter had the carne asada fries which come fully loaded with shredded cheese, cilantro, tomatoe, onion and some other white cheese. My best friend had the nachos no meat no beans and whatever u see on top! Food is so good. Went back multiple times before we left, every single day! Lol a must try. nice service. I’m expect to pay approx 12 a person ”
“ The BEST adobada fries I have ever tried!!! The meat taste great and they give you more than enough! This plate cost around 9 and it's well worth it! This is the main item we usually get when we want to eat Mexican food. The tacos are really good too! You won't be disappointed! Highly recommended. ”
“ This place serves up some solid fast Mexican food, definitely better than your usual spots. It's a go-to for both locals and tourists looking for a quick bite with flavor. I came back to try the rolled tacos, but they didn’t hit the mark for me. Still, it’s a chill spot worth checking out if you're in the area. ”
