Was hungry and this is the nearest place that serves food, guess I lucked out! I asked the lady at the counter for her recommendation, she said they're popular for their goat dishes so I got one in a burrito and wasn't disappointed. You can still taste the flavor of goat meat but not too gamey and the spices are just right.

Came to this truck for the first time this week. Tried their birria tacos and they were really good! So I came back a second time, lol. I tried tripa, cecina, pastor, and carnitas too, but they weren’t as impressive. Their salsas are pretty good, they don’t seem too spicy or anything. I showed up about 40 minutes before closing (they told me closing was 9 pm but google says 10). They were out of a couple things (consommé, tortas, tripas, and buche) but it was understandable considering it was just before closing time. Their COVID-19 protocols seem a little iffy, but whether that’s a dealbreaker or not is up to you. The prices are a little expensive too, so maybe come with your own drinks in the car to avoid paying $1.25 per soda can. It looks like the tacos will run you about $1.75 to $2.75 per taco plus tax, but they are decently sized and have good portions. They also accept card and cash, as they have a POS system inside their truck. Overall, would definitely come back for more birria tacos. :-) Ps. ask for your birria tacos dorados y enchilados. Thank me later!

This truck was at a flag football tournament so we decided to try it out. Birria taco was dry and the asada taco meat was gray and had a weird after taste. The asada taco meat seemed to be old so it was spit out and trashed. The ceviche was also trashed because even though it took 20 minutes to get my order, the shrimp was obviously still too raw to eat. I tried one scoop and knew it shouldn't have been served like that. The picture I'm posting is an order of their shrimp ceviche even though it looks like a cocktail. Waste of money..

They use cheap asada meat, feels like chewing on rubber. Not good at all I made myself throw it up because it didn't sit right.

Burria tacos are good but over priced. Almost $4 for a taco. Not sure what their grade is but there were flies inside the truck where all the food is being cooked and didn’t seem cleaned. Homeless people everywhere asking for change which is not a problem but makes it hard to enjoy your food

Went there on 10/17/20 was gonna eat there but there is a lot of homeless people just hanging around the truck. And a lot of people not wearing masks and not social distancing very unsanitary. Will never eat from there ever
