Remember it's a food truck, so the atmosphere is in pleasant grove, so a lil hood. The service was good just don't like the fact when you pay for a drink, they give the cup when you get your food, obviously because people take advantage of agua frescas since you serv yourself, no refills. The food was good. I got tacos campechanos with is fajita and chorizo, nice and tender and good mix flavor together and not skimpy. Tacos de trompo, we got the special 15 tacos for 20 dollars, the flavor was really good and seasoned, maybe a little to much achieved because my fingers looked like a I ate hot cheetos, meaning red fingers, but I liked them. Would I be coming back definitely yes. 8 out of 10. They also give potatoes with your tacos fixings. They also good and soft. Monterey style.

If you love street food you should definitely give this place a try. It's a bit costly though but the carne asada is pretty good
