Overall good - 3.5 stars…read more I caught up with this food truck at the Tractor Supply spring garden event in Elk River. The food was good and the portions were generous. The refried beans in my burrito bowl were cold, which I didn't appreciate. But everything else was good. I like the variety of beverages too. (A lot of food trucks skimp on this.) I grabbed a Jarritos guava flavored soda. After I left, I wished I had tried the interesting Manzanita Sol apple flavored soda. I'll definitely grab one of those next time. This is a family run operation and everyone was very friendly. I always favor a family owned business versus a big corporate place. This isn't a food truck that I'd seek out. But it hits the spot if you're in the area and in the mood for some savory Mexican style food. And it's definitely a great choice if you're very hungry. -Maxx

El Alce food was authentic Mexican, delicious, and portions were enough to overfill us. (It was so good we kept eating even though we were full:) They gave us chips and salsa when we arrived, which is appreciated. Service was good with two servers working at a less busy time between lunch and dinner. Clean dining area and restrooms. We had sodas so I can't remark about the margaritas.

While you would think from the outside you are walking into a Mexican restaurant it is but it isn't. Some good Mexican dishes (my mom LOVED) the flavor of the chicken in her tacos. And also a mixture of traditional bar fare food - hamburgers, salads and that night (Friday) was also all you can eat shrimp. We stuck with the Mexican food and enjoyed a nice margarita. The food portions are HUGE! You will not leave hungry. Space was clean and service was good. Not sure I'll be rushing back but certainly glad to finally check it out and would go back.

So much flavor, very generous portions, quality ingredients (aka- no gross low quality meat like some places use) . We are so lucky to have this gem of a spot in Milaca of all places. During recent political turmoil & fear, I was so impressed with how our small town community came together to support this place- I wasn't expecting that. & Tonight I came in during Cinco de Mayo & even with how crazy busy it was, everything remained stellar! Highly recommend this place to anyone, anytime, even if it's a 1 hr drive- you won't be disappointed.
