    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!!

    Food: 4.1 Service: 4.0…read more Sunday night dinner on the way home from watching Hell's Kitchen downtown and wife wanted something quick and easy. So I said let go here... If you're looking for this establishment, it's inside/connected to the gas station (but there's drive-thru service too). Wife scans the menu and decides on the one taco plate with asada and I opt for the two chicken enchilada plate; plates come with rice & beans + a fountain drink. We sit and wait, but the young girl working the counter was nice and brought out our food. Now the food isn't out of this world but has a homestyle taste (not over seasoned). My chicken enchiladas tasted like I was back in SD (@Roberto's) their red sauce allowed you to still taste the tortilla and chicken = simple & tasty. Their refried beans were smooth so there's probably plenty of lard while their rice was on the dry side almost a fried rice texture, LOL. My wife enjoyed her taco and the chips & salsa too (which are free if you're dining in. They have a small salsa bar but a big batch of pico de gallo which could use little more salt and lime (so just ask at the counter for those two items and voi-la. We'll need to come back to try more items on their menu.

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.
