I should have discovered this neighborhood gem a long time ago. The items I selected for a takeout lunch with my grandson were delicious — and kid-approved (he’s a picky eater!).
I was able to easily order online before leaving a dental appointment, and by the time we arrived at their location, the wait was only a few minutes. They provide an electronic pager so you can wait comfortably in your car until your food is ready, which was especially appreciated with unmelted snow still on the ground.
Although this is a food truck, they have their setup very well organized. The smells coming from the ordering window were absolutely mouthwatering.
Chicken Tacos – Four freshly made tacos with your choice of meat (we chose shredded chicken), topped with onion, cilantro, radish, lime, and multiple sauces. My grandson dove into his meal so quickly — after kindly sharing one taco with me — that I forgot to grab a photo!
Birria Pupusas – Three generously sized pupusas stuffed with beef birria, cheese, onion, and cilantro, served with cabbage on the side.
We also ordered the Plátanos (fried plantains), served with a dollop of sour cream — delicious.
The portions were very filling; I have more than enough for another meal. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the prices were very reasonable.
The best compliment I can give? My grandson has already requested that whenever I come to visit (which is pretty often — I live just three miles away, LOL), we order takeout from here again.
I think we’ve found a new regular spot — one I only wish I had tried much sooner!

We stopped here for an unplanned quick bite after stopping for gas at a random Exxon. Very nice people. I ordered two tacos very plain for my son, (cheese, rice and chicken/beef) who told me he had to plug his nose before he could eat them because they smelled so wonderful he couldn’t stand it. My tacos were also good (the ones with the onion and cilantro in the photo) of the chicken or beef, the beef were more flavorful. I only about had an emergency driving though when I tasted the tomato sauce because it was really spicy. 😂 the sliced cucumbers 🥒 were a wonderful touch and the presentation was much nicer than I expected from a taco truck. Thanks for a good bite!

I tried this place for the first time yesterday and I’m embarrassed to admit that I got food from there again today for dinner. It was that good. Yesterday I got the steak burrito and today I got the birria burrito, chips and salsa, and tamales. Everything was delicious! I will definitely be back soon

This was my first visit and it was good. I had the Birria tacos and they were tasty. This place was a great Taco Tuesday destination 😁
