Minji Jung

Best shrimp tacos I’ve had in my life. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and the house-made tortillas were soft and fresh. The place was clean, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the owner and staff were so friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Nice service, tacos and coctel de camaron were delicious. Tortillas are fresh, meat doesn't have fat, and shrimp are a great size.

It’s hard to find a good taco truck that has fresh tortillas and they do a great job with them here! The meat is seasoned well, tastes great and the ceviche is the best. Even the horchata isn’t over sweetened, a rare find anywhere. Honestly hands down a fantastic new go to!
