Best tacos in the area! Been going to Tino’s since I was in 7th grade (now a senior) and they’re truly the friendliest around! Tino and his son do a great job and i’m so glad they got their own spot inside the gas station the food truck was fun but they deserved some AC!
Fast, hot, fresh & delicious! Highly recommended!
Best taco truck on 290 by far, this is the only truck I will trust to get fish and shrimp from. The owner Tino is one of l the nicest people I have ever ment. I highly recommend the alambre taco!

A small shop at the back of a convenience store with limited seating on the other side of the store. The gentleman (Tino?) working was very friendly and pulled together the order fast. Servings were stout and tasty, which I was very grateful for. My friend got standard breakfast tacos. I ordered the gordita with pastor spilling out the sides. They were out of barbacoa. Good stuff.

Please change your hours on google. Huge waste of time to drive up there and you’re closed.
