After much anticipation the long wait is over and the food truck has reopened. Food was very tasty and good portions for the price. The two persons working were very nice and efficient. Ordered the wet burrito w/ carnitas asade, fish taco plate, and street tacos w/ carnitas. Everything was boxed, bagged and ready in 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend.

Incredible food. Probably the best shrimp tacos I’ve ever had! Fish tacos were good, but we would still prefer the shrimp. Rice & beans were also flavorful and fresh - I’ve been dreaming about going back!

Conveniently located at the Chevron off Lake City Way, I drive by this taco truck at least 3x a week. I finally stopped by in the evening on a sunny Sunday, and was impressed with the service, food, and price. The gentleman greeted me warmly and made my order in under 10 minutes. I got a chicken taco plate which came with rice and beans, 3 tacos, a drink of your choice, and mild or spicy salsa. The business is cash only but there’s an ATM inside of chevron if you don’t have any on hand. The food was delicious and fair priced. The sitting area is shaded with a picnic table and two chairs. Will definitely be back soon and I look forward to trying the other items on their menu.

A+ mulitas & fast service. Red sauce is fantastically spicy. Comes in compostable packaging which is a plus. Full plate with rice, beans, and slaw + can of soda was $14. Cash only.

Had 3 soft-shelled (street?) tacos (I would have preferred hard shells) with rice (very flavorful) - no beans - with medium sauce. It was good, not great, but only because the steak meat was a little dry (slightly overcooked). I will come back again.

My favorite go-to taco truck on lake city way! I used to always go to the Northgate location before this one popped up. Everything is great and flavorful. Our go-to order is usually the asada burrito the street taco plate. Carnitas plate is also an excellent choice. Other things on their menu we've tried and enjoyed are their fish tacos and shrimp tacos. I love that the fish tacos aren't battered fish but filets, and the shrimp is always perfectly cooked The sauces here are a must. Red sauce is fire and perfect if you like heat. It's peppery with a hint of smokiness. The green sauce is fresh and a combo of lime, cilantro, and jalapeno and some other stuff. Both are so good.
