The Barbacoa meat on my tacos was all gristle and tough unchewable chunks of fat. I would never serve this to anyone let alone charge them for it. The burrito that we got was ok, but not great. Proceed with caution here. We have gotten food from the Taqueria Los Primos restaurant in Laurel, Maryland numerous times and it is always the best ever tacos etc. This food truck was not great at all. Yelp is prompting me to discuss the ambiance - it is a food truck in a gas station parking lot so that is the ambiance. There was food refuse scattered around in the parking lot in the area of the taco truck.

It's in a shopping center anchored by a Mexican grocery store. The restaurant itself is pretty much the same as the one near us as far as size and decor. It does have more tables. She chose a tacos birria, which she enjoyed in Odenton. She said they were just as good here. I was unable to get carnitas in Odenton, but I got a carnitas bowl here and it was good. I would have like a little more meat, and for the meat to have a little more spice. But the rest of it was fresh and it was all quite tasty. Plus it made 2 meals at home since it's such a large bowl. The service was pleasant; order at the counter and the food is brought out. It was quick and hot. Plenty of parking that's free.

The restaurant is colorful, spacious and has 2 TVs and a projector which was projecting a World Cup game. I was surprised by how many special menu they had including happy hours, specials for different days of the week and a Saturday night fiesta. I went with the chicken quesadillas and I added grilled vegetables and jalapeños. The meal also came with pico, guacamole and sour cream. Total was $13.50. The quesadillas were tasty and packed with chicken. The pico was fresh and seasoned well. The guacamole turned a little brown by the time I was eating it but that was due to me eating it an 1.5hrs after getting my order, still delicious. The host Harold was pleasant and provided helpful feedback for me to choose my meal. Food came out at a decent time. Can't wait to try more items on their menu

The $4 beef taco I ordered wasn't flavorful. It was a "street taco" size so bite sized. The $5 chips and queso I ordered was disappointing. The chips were fresh, homemade, salted, and crispy. However, the queso felt highly processed, neon yellow, and not enough for the amount of chips. This is nowhere near California Tortilla quality queso. Buttttt, don't let me discourage you!

First of all the customer service was superb! The bartender even took the time to walk next door a grab me a tres leches cake since they were out in the restaurant. I got 1 each ofbeans/cheese and pork/cheese pupusas, menudo soup, and 2 pork tamales (they were out of chicken). It came with rice, cabbage, onions, cilantro, and a variety of sauces and salsa. I was craving tamales, I'm from the south, and thought this would do the trick. It didn't, completely different. But that was my own failed wishful thinking. I love Latin American food and everything was ok to me. I could tell it was all homemade and the soup was my favorite. The tres leches was different from what I'm used to. It didn't have as much extra milk and it had peaches. It was ok but I prefer the regular way better. Would I came back? Yes and try the tacos and maybe the chicken. Plus like I said the customer service was outstanding! And next time I think I'll eat in the restaurant instead of taking it to go.
