    Here's the address

    Let me tell y'all about these tacos. I drove over an hour for these tacos. (Thanks Yelp fam, you've done it again!) I had to FIND these tacos (because the taco truck is hidden in the cut... Shout out to one of the Yelpers who provided landmarks in their review which helped guide me to it) When I found these tacos, I didn't want anyone else to find these tacos because... OMG. THESE TACOS. I grabbed an order of beef, chicken, and shrimp tacos for myself and a friend for Cinco de Mayo. The reason why there are no photos attached to this review is because those tacos didn't stand a chance. We DEMOLISHED them!! The ingredients were perfectly seasoned, the toppings were so deliciously fresh, and the portions were incredibly generous for the price. Plus the guy running the taco truck was also really nice. Y'all, hurry up and go get you some of these tacos. It's going to be a side quest to find the place, but it's absolutely worth it.

    Took a minute but I found it!

    The restaurant is next to the Sunco gas station in the Hickory Ridge shopping Center. The address: 6440 Freetown Rd Columbia, MD 21044 United States Food: 2 shrimp and chorizo tacos for $12 The corn tortillas are stuffed with meat, diced tomatoes , cilantro and some cheese. Your meal comes with extra slices of cucumber, 2 hot sauces and limes to drizzle on top of your tacos. These tacos are authentic! The seasoning is bold, and the proteins are perfectly cooked. Service: One man makes all of the food! Be patient and always leave a good tip! Ambiance: Take your order to go or sit and eat at the picnic tables. Overall: These are the most authentic tacos is Howard County. Once you try it, you'll understand why this humble spot has 5 star reviews.

    Chicken, beef, and a shrimp taco

    I thoroughly enjoyed these tacos! Although it was a bit hard to locate at first, since it was in the parking lot of a gas station, it was well worth it. The prices aren't bad at all and they give you plenty of tacos. I got 2 chicken tacos, 1 shrimp, and 1 beef and they were soooo yummy. My favorite was by far the chicken though. The flavor and texture were perfect and I have been craving them ever since I had them. Everyone who I went with also got tacos and they all loved it as well. The leftovers were also delicious! I will definitely come back!

    2 chicken tacos, 2 steak tacos

    Tacos were DELICIOUS. We got 2 chicken, 2 steak and it was outstanding! The steak was our personal favorite. Service was great! Tacos came with plenty of fixins and for $13, so worth it! Will be going again to try the other meat options and menu items!

    This is a food truck that was located at the Sunoco gas station at 6440 Freetown Road, Columbia, MD. My fiancée loves quesadillas, but they are typically made with flour tortillas. The gentleman running the show was very nice and was able to make her gluten-free steak quesadillas with corn tortillas. I ordered the steak burrito and added avocado. After tax, the total was around $25. Some of the ingredients were lukewarm (I believe the rice, steak and beans), but overall the flavors were still very good. Definitely love supporting local businesses, especially when the owners are great people. They were featured on Yelp's Top 100 US Taco Spots 2023 so definitely had to try it out. There are benches if you didn't want to eat inside your car or bring it home. We opted to eat in our car. Come support this local business!

    Finally got around to trying this taco truck after having my eyes on it for a few months. These are some of the best tacos I've had, so I'll definitely be a regular here! The tacos are not greasy at all and not overly heavy in flavor - the meats are all fresh and perfectly seasoned. The 4/$10 deal tops it all off, considering 3 are already very filling. I recommend getting one or two of each meat (choices are pork, chicken, shrimp, steak, and chorizo) so you can try them all. You really can't go wrong with any of them, but the shrimp has to be my favorite. Service is always friendly, but be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes for your order. There appears to be only one person working at a time, so the wait can be longer if there are more customers.

    Best tacos in the area. Hands down, no questions. Got a steak, shrimp, chicken, and pork - all were fantastic but I think I liked the pork the best. Enjoyed it on the picnic tables and washed it down with a nice cold soda. Can't wait to go back

    I can't believe this place is a three minute drive from my house. Tucked away next to the BP gas station. Love the owner, so kind, and the tacos are AMAZING. Seriously. I recommend calling ahead if you don't want to wait 15 to 20 minutes because everything is made fresh.

    Steak Tacos

    We've tried most of the taco trucks in the are and this ones definitely our favorite. We tried both the chicken and steak tacos. Great flavor and not too greasy. We also got my son a hotdog, and that was tasty too.

    Chorizo taco, SO yummy

I don't normally drink when I go out but I was feeling a bit wild that night. She recommended a drink called "la suegra", I'm not to sure how to describe it but it was very nice. It scratched the back of my throat in a pleasant way, I had to order a second one. I then ordered food, which I was a little intimidated by the scale of their menu. The tacos asada were delicious, and the paired salsa was amazing. I ordered a red salsa against my better judgment and found to spicy, but the flavor was still spot on. Very impressed with the food and atmosphere, not used to such welcoming staff in Maryland. I just want to draw attention back to the wonderful bar staff, the young lady was very on it. Even in the rush she was very attentive and kept up her friendly attitude. I never got a chance to speak to the gentleman working with her but he was just as busy as she was. The customers he was assisting looked as happy as me. Great job soluna, you guys really live up to the name "tequila bar". Will definitely be back very soon and I suggest everyone in the area to come as well!!!

I guess they give you arepas (or maybe they ran out of tortillas) with it. I wasn't upset by the arepas. The aqua fresca was good and I also tried a chicken burrito which was good. The chicken was seasoned but not as flavorful as the carne asada. I also enjoyed their chips. It wasn't like Tostitos. I will be coming back here to try more items and I will be eating the carne asada again.

The place is clean and nicely decorated to represent Mexican culture. We got a menu and we sat down. We were the first ones to arrive and two more couples came after us. Although we're the first ones to arrive, the staff took deodorant of the Latino family first. When she came to her to take her order, I asked her why she took their order first when my husband I arrived before hands. She went ahead to say the Latino couple who spoke Spanish with her, had called in. I found it hard to believe because if they had called then why did she have to take their order again & mind you, I spoke Spanish with her. My husband's ready to leave, however, since the reviews were decent we stayed. We ordered nachos, chicken with cheese and jalapeño cheese pupusas, as well as two tacos. The food lacked some flavor and personally I did not like the chicken pupusa, perhaps because my stepmother makes them really good. I don't think I'll come back here. I believe in making a review, I consider everything from the time that you walk into the door until the time you depart. Favoritism may not be appealing to all the customers, especially in a small environment.
