“Inattentive workers. Quality has gone down, I loved going for tripitas, although this past time barbacoa tasted oily, tortilla was hard to eat, and corn in the cup was flavorless. Complete waste of my money!”
— Robert Mtz“The beef tacos were the best out of the birria and pastor. The tortillas were not really that soft and somewhat harder to chew through (except for the beef). The red and green hot sauce was okay, nothing crazy. The service was somewhat slow but only because it was busy, which does say something about this place. I would recommend to try at least once, but I will move on to try and find better tacos. It's El Paso! Taco expectations were high and this didn't quite hit the spot like I was expecting. The horchata was EXCELLENT and on point! Was a little pricey in my opinion for tacos but no regrets over all!”
— C Rs“Long waiting time just for them to take the order not to mention 30 more minutes waiting to get the food. Which by they way i do not recommend is not worth the expensive prices they charge. 2 miniature orders of asada tacos and one mexican burger for 34 dlls 😳 if the food was great i wouldn't mind coming back and pay that or at least a happy and friendly face from the lady taking the orders”
— Jorge HuertA“If it was possible I would rate this food truck a zero! The food was horrible. My hotdog bread was beyond stall and a mess and the stake was horribly over cooked. The service itself was horrible. There was only two people working and there was a line of people when the 3rd employee decided to show up. Food took about 45 mins to receive and we noticed the employee taking orders was constantly on her cellphone. We were advised that our food took awhile because of long orders and noticed that an order of about 6-7 plates was made for people who weren't ever in line. Horrible place. Will never go again.”
