Best tacos ever! Even better than the ones we had in Mexicao City. Last night for the first time we tried their tacos (beef fajitas & chicken fajitas), one beef corditas & one pork burrito. We never had corditas before. It was so good. That was our favorite. The little green sauce was so good, never had similar taste from other places. Definitely go back again.

Amazing tacos at unbeatable prices. Located very close to Rice. A very good option for lunch at cheaper prices (and way tastier) than the University cafeteria or nearby restaurants.

It's actually better than expected. It is on my walk to work and I was pleasantly surprised. They only accept cash, but no problems. It is a food truck two blocks from where I reside.

Legit tacos yo…there’s usually a wait. Not every time, but it’s always worth it. They’re pretty quick for the most part, but they’re popular. Plenty of parking around it so I just wait in the car. The hot sauce is actually hot!!! Hope this place does really well. They’re great people.
