I was so excited to finally sample La Palapa. I ordered 2 chicken tacos and a beef empanada. I was…read morethrilled to receive a pager to alert me to when my order was ready. I wish all for trucks did this! The food was ready very fast and smelled amazing. The chicken tacos were a little spicier than I expected but not too spicy. I definitely enjoyed them. While the empanada was a nice size with a great texture, I have to say I was disappointed that the beef didn't appear to be seasoned and had nothing in them but beef. Empanadas I've had elsewhere have been well seasoned and often contain other ingredients in addition to just the beef itself. I did see a girl eating what must've been the potato and cheese empanada. If I order another empanada I think that's the one I'd try in the future.

The tacos are fresh and I love that you get to add your own toppings including cheese…read more Prices are reasonable as well. I have to say they are right up there with some of the best tacos in the city.

This is my second time coming here for the Tlayuda, a specialty dish from Oaxaca, and it continues…read moreto impress me. The portion size is very generous and easily large enough to share with another person. The service has been fast and friendly every time I've visited. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with bright colors and artwork that reflect the restaurant's cultural heritage. Even the television programming helps create an authentic atmosphere and gives visitors a glimpse into Oaxacan culture. I love that they offer such unique and authentic Oaxacan cuisine right here in Carrick. The tortilla is homemade and perfectly crispy, topped with high quality steak and delicious Oaxacan cheese. My favorite parts are the green salsa, avocado, and grilled green onions. I absolutely love them. If I could change one thing, I would ask for a little more avocado and grilled green onion. I also think some grilled corn, onions, and peppers would complement the dish nicely. The radishes were not my favorite addition because they did not seem to blend with the other flavors as well. The lettuce and beans added a nice touch, and overall the dish was flavorful, satisfying, and memorable. It is wonderful to have such authentic cuisine within walking distance of home. I am already looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. The chicken enchiladas with either mole sauce or green salsa also caught my eye.

This is my favorite local Mexican restaurant. I lived in New York for about a decade and I loved…read moreordering from a restaurant there that was also based on Oaxacan dishes. They make their chips in-House and I absolutely love them. The queso is a varying level of spice based on the day that you order - that's not something I really care about. Nine times out of 10 it's good. I like their enchiladas, their burritos, their tacos, their quesadillas. The only time I ever got something that I didn't like was only because it was too spicy. I will say, they are not consistent with the level of spice. The Horchata's are amazing.

A taco spot that feels welcoming, fresh, and easy to keep in rotation…read more I stopped into @docetaqueria and it's one of those places that just feels good the second you walk in. Christie (@cmnst4 ), the owner, was genuinely so kind when we talked about coming in-warm, easy to chat with, and proud of what they've built. That energy carries through because the staff was extremely friendly and honestly couldn't wait to make up my order. I love that it's an open kitchen. You can see them pressing tortillas, building everything fresh, and actually talk to them while they're making your food. It feels interactive and intentional instead of rushed. We tried a handful of things, but I have to specifically mention the chicken tacos on a corn shell and the quesadilla because they were exactly what I wanted-flavorful, fresh, and done right. Not over-the-top, not trying too hard. Just solid food made by people who care. And that's the kind of spot I'll go back to.

Very clean, but stark environment. I was there at 2:30PM. My server highly recommended the fish…read moretaco. The fish was mild and crispy. The base was a small tortilla topped with a smaller fried tortilla, topped with the fish and mild jalapeño coleslaw. It was small but very tasty. If you follow my reviews, you know that I don't eat dessert. Because I had such a light lunch, I requested their special dessert, Tres Leche. This was a disappointment. It was a large square of white cake soaked in milk and covered with coconut and topped with a slice of maraschino soaked canned pineapple. It lacked the richness that I knew in Mexico. The pineapple was a distraction. There was only 2 other tables occupied while I was there. The server provided the perfect amount of attention and was very pleasant. Was surprised, however, with a surcharge for using a credit card.

There are Food Trucks, and then there is Los Gingos…read more I am a lover of great Mexican food, my favorites being a hefty burrito and most definitely quesadillas. I've been to many places, and not many stack up in terms of quality and bang for your dollar like, say Hank's in New Brighton... Los Gingos absolutely has one of the best quesadillas I have ever had. The pulled pork quesadilla is filled with meat, cheese, and other ingredients if you like. Don't scoff at the $15 price... you are more likely enjoying lunch AND dinner from one of these babies. Be sure to stop and enjoy this food truck anytime they are in your area!

If you get the 3 tacos, you don't have to stick with one meat or just veggies. You can mix it up. All the meats are delicious, but I usually do 2 Achiote pulled chicken and 1 of the Seasoned ground beef. Their pulled pork is also good, but I hate giving up one of the chicken tacos....lol. The flavoring in the meats is soooo yummy and the marinated onions just adds to the already perfect mix! I ALWAYS get extra cilantro and they are generous with it! I have also had the quesadillas, which are next favorite! The street corn is delicious, with just enough spice/bite and I also give it a thumbs up! Make sure you try their variety of salsa's to go with your food! DE-LISH! The food truck comes often to Beaver Valley Power Plant and it is everyone's absolute favorite! The workers on the food truck are always very friendly and patient! I am always so sad when they are here at the plant and I am not...I hate to miss out on their food!

This is a truly service oriented joint with free community coffee and a pay-it-forward meal program. You can feel the love when you walk in and the owners remember your name.

I stopped by here this past Thursday with my wife for dinner. Our neighborhood has food trucks…read morethat come every other week and this week happened to be Las Chicas. It was a food truck and so there's not much to say about it other than it was blue and staffed by two women. For dinner on this day I decided to go with the steak burrito with hot salsa and my wife went with a steak quesadilla with mild salsa and then ordered a churro as well. We waited maybe ten minutes for our food to be ready and headed home to eat it. My burrito here was decent, there was a good amount of filling in it and I especially enjoyed the hot salsa which truly was spicy and really reminded me of Qdoba's hottest sauce. The steak inside of it was mediocre and some of the pieces were super tough. Finally the rice and beans were satisfactory. My wife thought that her quesadilla and churros were good and was happy with her choices. The bottom line for me is that I would probably stop by here again in the future. My wife enjoyed her food here and while I merely thought it was ok, they have some other things that I would give a chance to.

My boyfriend ordered tacos and a chorizo burrito. He's lived in California for most of his life and he even said that the chorizo was the best that he's ever had.
