Veggie burrito, flimsy tortilla and very moist.
Al W.

I went on my lunch since this food truck had 5 stars on Yelp. I got a veggie burrito and street asada tacos. My food was bland, no taste. The street tacos were OK. The salads they had, no taste. I don't understand why these places don't season their food. Disappointing. The service was good. The ambiance is ok it's a food truck with a tent and tables. I don't know who would rate this place a 5 star location, it is far from that, at least from my perspective.

I was happy to see another Mexican food option has arrived in Elk Grove. This taco truck is located in the Shell gas station parking lot located on W. Taron Dr. and Elk Grove Blvd near I-5. I sampled the carne asada, Al pastor, carnitas, brisket, and chicken tacos. They were all very tasty. My favorite was the carnitas. Tacos come with jalapeños and onions. Salsas were good too. There is a covered area to sit and enjoy your food as well. They take cash and card (3.9% charge for card transactions). The service was excellent and the location is super convenient if you want to grab a quick bite and hop back on I-5. They are open Monday thru Wednesday (until 9:30pm) and late Thursday thru Saturday (10:30pm). I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Give this place a try and support a new eatery option in Elk Grove!

2 super tacos- (3.99 each) 1 pollo asado and one carne asada and a side of chips (1.50) a great meal for $10 and some change

It was my first time here to try this Taco Truck, since I had a hankering for tacos and chips. I got 2 tacos-pollo asado (the flavor was AMAZING), and a carne asada taco. The beef taco was good-but I've had better. The beef wasn't grilled which is what I was craving, ( I think it was stewed) but it was tasty! The green sauce was mild and flavorful and the red sauce had a kick to it! I will definitely try this place again-especially for the pollo asado tacos!!

4 1/2 bumped up. Got Al pastor and Asada super tacos and they were both delicious. Their corn tortilla is soft and very pliable. Meats are flavorful and well marinated. I prefer the Al pastor more but that's just me. Super tacos comes with salsa, beans, sliced avocado on top with onions, radish, and lime on the side. They have green avocado salsa and a red salsa that gives a slow burn. Their salsas were decent and no sour cream on the tacos hence the half star.

Just like their other truck, this one is sparkingly clean and serves up some really good food. I ordered the quesadilla and one carne asada taco or so I thought. I guess he thought I had ordered a plate since I had 4 tacos in the bag which I did not realize until after I left. No complaints from me, they were yummy. Their green sauce is ambrosia...get extra! Plus points for the catchy music they were playing.

This place is solid. The burrito is bomb and could honestly be two meals. Also the best horchata I've had!!

I like the food here but there are a couple things I wish they would change…read more First, there is a 3% surcharge/convenience fee; what is that for? I find that odd especially since they only give plastic utensils and cups even when you dine in (which I wish they wouldn't because it seems so wasteful!) Second, the noise! My goodness idk if it's cause it's World Cup time or what but they have super loud music and the TVs are full blast too. I don't mind one or the other but with both, I was feeling so overwhelmed it was distracting and I couldn't even have a conversation with my family. Other than that, I like the food; big portions but a bit overpriced ($7 for a small kids cheese quesadilla with no sides). The salsa bar is super good!

I've been here a few times now and keep meaning to write this review, so here it finally is!…read more Came in yesterday with two friends and had a small issue with my dish -- it tasted a bit different than usual. When one of the guys working the floor came by to check on us, I brought it up. I really wasn't sure what to expect, but he was so cool about it. He listened, and just like that, took care of it on the spot -- no hassle, no awkwardness. I was really appreciative of how quickly he handled it, honestly it made the whole visit. The place is busy, because their food is so yummy, and can be loud-- but somehow you still don't want to leave. There's just a good energy in there. Oh, and the salsa bar? Really great. You'll find yourself going back to it way more than once. The people here genuinely care, and you can feel it. Definitely coming back.

The last time I came by after 6 p.m., they had already sold out of the Garlic Shrimp and Chipotle Pineapple Pork--the two meats I was there to try. This time, I got the chance. I ordered the Queso Tacos, which come with three tacos and your choice of meat (fish and shrimp are available for an additional charge). They're topped with sour cream, Parmesan cheese, onions, and cilantro. Unfortunately, the tacos were only ok. The Chipotle Pineapple Pork was a bit too salty and oily. The Garlic Shrimp was also disappointing. The shrimp had become soft instead of having a nice bite, the shells were mushy, and the generous amount of sour cream overpowered the flavor. I was hoping for a little more texture and crispness. I also tried both the green and red salsas, but neither one stood out to me, as they were both pretty mild and didn't add much flavor to the tacos. The girl was nice though, she answered all of my questions. If I were to try this place again, maybe I'd try the street tacos or their bowl.

Went during a lunch rush. There wasn't much service besides being handed your food, you're not checked on and you clean up after yourself. Dispose of plates into garbage bin and plates into the bin ontop. It was difficult to get to go boxes or extra limes. I got the quesabirria tacos. The meat was bland and so was the dipping broth. I was expecting a blast of flavors and spices in my mouth, but that never happened. I got 1 lime with this order of 3 tacos. 6/10 because it was crispy on one side more so than the other and it was packed with meat and onion. This seriously Lacked flavor. My friend got 3 tacos, asada and al pastor. I tried a bite of each, and the flavor was also lacking there. 3 tacos came with 1 lime. Their rice was very dry. Hard to swallow. 1/10. Fries were decent. My husband got their asada torta. 5/10. It was lacking flavor and the bread was just not good. The veggies in the torta were just not elevating the dish either. Not served with any sauces to go, so ask for it before you leave the restaurant.
