    I'm from SoCal so I'm always craving a good, cheap burrito or taco. Decided to try this truck and although it was good, it didn't hit my craving. I got a burrito and the tortilla was pretty solid but the contents were a little lacking. Some key differences between SoCal trucks and this spot were that the cheese was cotija, the veggie burrito had broccoli in it, and the meat was pre-marinated and cooked on the grill instead of on a rotisserie. The red sauce tasted like a spicy enchilada sauce so it lacked the flavor and depth of other red sauces but the green sauce was pretty solid. The burritos are $12 and tacos are $4. They also have a service charge for cards that's not listed and I'm not sure how it adds up but the subtotal for two burritos was $26 instead of the expected $24. Overall for NYC, this place is not bad but I probably would check out other trucks before coming back here.

    The way they packaged this was horrible. In a paper plate that fell apart no cutlery either. For the price they charge this could have been better . It all fell apart and I couldn't eat it since I had no cutlery!

    Great deal for burritos here. They're ginormous and it's only for $10-12. I've had the Bistec (steak) and the Al Pastor (pork and pineapple). They're not the best burritos I've had but you definitely get good value. Like the Al Pastor was a bit fatty and didn't have the best cuts of meat but the pineapple definitely helped give it unique flavors. Would love to try more of they're extensive menu. The melon (cantaloupe) drink was all fresh juice with some sugars. Cheers

    Listen, I am not sure why this was only rated at 2 stars on TripAdvisor but I have visited all the time and it's always been a good experience. I have been food poisoned so many times in New York City and this was the only food truck in the city that did not. They make the food fresh and yes, it takes time to make a meal but isn't this what everyone wanted? A food truck able to make fresh meals all the time. It's the same thing as if you were going to visit a restaurant, right? So waiting is part of the experience and the waiting for the food to be made isn't long. I've been eating here for a while now and the ladies know who I am, I am the guy with all the camera gear that stops by at night with the wagon and travel backpack. The food is always amazing and don't stop making delicious food. There is also a guy that comes by sometimes, I'm not sure if he is the boss but he is very cool and remembers his customers. How many food trucks will remember your face? It's in the perfect location and everyone eats from DON Panchito, I even made a few videos on the food truck on YouTube but I can't post it here (I don't think so) So this is my review, 5/5 and you get a lot of food for the money. Fresh is always the best policy and Don Panchito as ThePandaPhotographer approved. Thank you for the service Panda

    My friend and I both got food poisoning from this. We suspect it was the fish taco but would avoid in general.

    Top: Al Pastor  Middle: Bistec Bottom: Pescado

    Things to consider when reading this review. 1) I've only tried three items on the entire menu so that is what I'm rating 2) There was a women cooking when I went (some cooks are better than others). I ordered on a Saturday night around 7PM. 3) I'm Mexican born and raised in Los Angeles CA. I do not have NY taste buds. I didn't grow up on meaty sandwiches, pizza and bagels. I grew up with street Mexican food from L.A. 4) I have not tried every single taco place in NY but, I've definitely tried my share of tacos in the city. (tacos #1 still haven't gone too but will soon). 5) I rate food not customer service, wait times, or convenience. I rate freshness and flavor. Now for the review .... I ordered one Bistec taco, one Fish taco, and one Al Pastor Taco. To me personally these are the best tacos I've had in NY this far. They are not to be compared to L.A street tacos that's like going to Italy and looking for a good taco. I'm going off NY standards here and with that said these tacos specifically were delicious. The salsa had some kick and flavor. In my opinion salsa makes or breaks a taco the red one is spicier than the green one. The portion of meat they serve per taco is generous and none of the protein I had was dry it was cooked perfectly. I will definitely go back and try other items on the menu but, for tacos if the same cook is there they will always have a repeat customer in me. P.S tacos are made to order they are not rewarming food so be patient to get your food. ( I waited 10 min)
