The guys working the trailer were cool and prompt in preparing our tacos. All I can say is these tacos were excellent. I had bistec and the wife had chicken. Our friends tried different tacos and we returned the next 3 nights to eat there again. Very good tacos, fresh ingredients, kind and polite attendants made this place a delightful find. I recommend them.

El Calentano is worthy. For $16 before tax you get half a chicken that has been brought to perfection over a smoky fire. Crisp skin and meat falling off the bone with some rice, beans, tortillas, salsa verde with kick, and a garnish of both raw and grilled onions AND jalapeños. We split it between two moderately hungry adults and were satisfied. It is simple, it is solid, and for $16 it is a great deal.

The chicken was wonderfully seasoned, had the right level of smoke, and was nearly melt-in-your-mouth tender and juicy. The rice had just the right level of seasoning, and the beans also had a wonderful combination of animal fat, peppers, and onions. Seriously, this was so good, and the meal also came with cooked and raw onions, as well as with cooked and raw jalapeños. Everything was ready within ten minutes, and the person working the truck was friendly and helpful. Not only was the meal incredibly delicious, but it fed two adults for right at twenty dollars. Seriously recommend.

So, they can take your order as you wait in your vehicle. We decided to sit at the tables outside. Thank God, the weather was nice, pm weather. I ordered the piña aquas frescas, Maria got the Jamaica aquas frescas. Both were delicious and a bit sweet. I had to water it down. I had the torta, which I'm still trying to find a great one, this one was close. Bread was soft, meat was tasty. Maria had the tripas street tacos. Very yummy. Going to try this place again.

Respect to Mile High Mo's for shipping in amoroso rolls but today, this bagel was just as pleasing. I chose chive/onion cream cheese and there was not an overwhelming amount; it interfered with nothing and instead complimented the flavors like a humble wingman. The beef was wonderful (do they still use 36G ingredients? bc that would explain it) and the onion/pepper perfectly caramelized--their look, flavor, and texture were all ideal. The cheese portion was generous but was in harmony with the rest of the sandwich. Service was friendly and their time estimate was accurate. There are a couple bistro tables outside so you have a chance of eating there if you like. Just like Sunny's before them, there is no inside seating so if you're a new customer be aware all orders are packed to-go. I personally prefer the paper packaging they used in the past to today's styrofoam, but my sandwich was still lovingly wrapped and topped with a nice napkin within my little clamshell which warms my jaded heart. I look forward to visiting the rest of the menu here.
