    Will always be one of my go-to places. Everything si good here. I usually get asada tacos, and the Asada Super Nachos (no beans). Their tortilla chips are the best. Ordered for about 12 people, and it came out to around $100. Very affordable.

    La Golondrina, you're cool like awkwafina You got the nachos that I want yet you're a humble taco truck, so you don't flaunt Compared to others your prices are the best It's only $8 for super nachos, but $12 and over are the rest You got great meat, and the prices are right Just follow the signs that are neon and bright! This place is cash only and is in front of the Food 4 Less. They have solid burritos, tacos, but I go there for the nachos. They're solid, packed, and delicious. They have a great flavor and variety. They pack the box with chips, lay on the cheese, beans, two different types of salsa (mild and spicy). But yeah, the closest mexican restaurant charges like $14 for nachos, but this taco truck is a solid $8. Love this place.

    Towards the bottom near the unmelted cheese the hair

    Paid $24 for 2 dishes (fine): 1 minute into eating it there is a thick black hair in the nachos and another minute after that my stomach is bubbling. Also the cheese on the nachos wasn't even melted, it tasted like ground pork rather than pastor, and was overall bad. Avoid at all costs!

    Al pastor and lengua tacos :d
    Jenny Y.

    Not really sure why people mentioned their al pastor being better than others. It was SUPER salty for me and with ground meat crumbles. I'm used to my meat diced I guess...? The lengua taco on the other hand...yum! And they are definitely generous with their meat! The carne asada super burrito was pretty good too but I might just do lengua next time. There were some good pieces of beef chunks but mostly crumbled meat instead of what I'm used to. Their salsa will burn a hole through your mouth but it's oh so good.

    Carne asada tacos

    We looked for the nearest taco truck after a nearby event and this spot came up. Those small random detours are always the best ones. We pulled up and got out of the car only to realize I left my debit card at the place we had gone to previously when I left a tab open. So we drove there again, and then back to the taco spot. We expected good food, but we didn't know how good. We got 7 carne asada tacos and a quesadilla with carne asada. First of all, I need to mention the presentation. The way everything was packaged was above and beyond my expectation at any taco spot! They wrapped everything up so tightly, then the tacos show up nice and warm to your next destination. The sauces were poured into very small ziploc bags for minimal mess. They didn't even need to do all that, and I would've still fallen in love with the spot. Now, about the food. Oh boy! The carne asada tacos were some of the best carne asada tacos I'd ever had. I hadn't had tacos in a while, but this place would just blow them out of water. The meat was finely chopped and had just the right amount of crisp to it. They give a perfect amount of limes, along with some fresh cucumber slices. They even gave us two extra bean tacos. The sauces were delicious and easy to pour. We also got a quesadilla and that thing was the quesadilla of quesadillas. Amazing all around. Everything about this place was amazing. The food, presentation, the customer service, it was all the best stuff. I could go on and on about how I fell in love with this spot. I can't wait to swing by and get some tacos again. Keep doing what you're doing! I recommend. Thanks!

    It was time for the midnight munchies and I've never been to this taco truck because I usually go the truck a few blocks east of this one. The burrito I ordered with the added hot salsa was delicious. It was late and there was a constant flow of customers.

    Super Nachos Asada ( No Red Salsa )
    R A.

    This spot is a food truck behind or in-front of the Food 4 Less (depends how you loom at things).Don't expect amazing food but for the price it is worth it. Food is pretty bland but they offer Lemon/Lime & Salsa's on the side if you want. They also have ginormous super burritos around a footlong! Prices range anywhere from 1.75 to up to 10$ depending on what you get.

    This food truck may not look like much but it is very authentic. I had the wet burrito and it was excellent. The sauce had just enough heat to it. Next time I would get the extra wet burrito just for more of their sauce. It was a bit of an adventure getting our food however it turned out to be fine.

    The Wait and quality of food.. Not worth it…read more Came here around 12pm to get some lunch because I was in the area craving Thai. Their menu looked appetizing and the reviews were decent so I gave it a try. Before I ordered I asked how long the wait would be and she said 15min. So I ran an errand and came back, 15 minutes have past and I'm still waiting. I waited until 25 minutes before I asked about my food. she said it was coming up next, and sorry for the wait. I understood I mean it's lunch time. You can tell they were rushed, there's only two of them and the people waiting in line to order slowly left. She didn't acknowledge people waiting in line, she had he back towards them. 40 minutes have passed now and I'm HANGRY... She kept telling me it was next and that it's backed up. I waited another 10 mins before my food came out... By this time I was over it. I took a bite of the pad see ew and it was so bland... The beef is dry and tasted like they Rushed it.... All that wait for something gross.. Very disappointed !! I mean cmon even when I'm hangry and the food doesn't taste good still.... Sad

    You ever order something that you thought was going to taste a certain way, and when you get it,…read moreyou find yourself dabbing other items' sauces on it in an effort to make it either taste better, or taste closer to what you thought it was going to taste like? Well, that's what just happened to me. I wouldn't mind trying other things on their menu, next time. I'm hopeful. But I have to admit, I didn't love the bbq pork noodle I ordered. It came with a peanut/vinegary/liquidy sauce. The noodles tasted like nothing, and the bbq pork was good. But I guess you're supposed to pour the sauce over the whole dish, else the noodles would just be dry and flavorless. Kind of like you do on Vietnamese vermicelli dishes.I've never had Thai food that way, but I'm open-minded. The prices were a little on the high side for a food truck. I mean, why are food trucks generally expensive for fast food? It kind of contradicts the whole concept behind the "roach coach". Dontcha think? These prices were like sit-down restaurant prices for the pretty good Thai food places around town. So, not sure how the whole business model of having high prices works out for these food truckers. I also ordered the fried tofu with the sweet chili sauce. You can't go wrong on fried tofu, so nothing to write about besides it's good :). Service? They could definitely pick up some storefront personality and speed. But overall, they seemed nice.

    Tried out Mastermind during a food truck event at Eat See Hear at LA state historic park near china…read moredown. There was a choice of about 7 food trucks. There was the Philly Steak truck with a very long line, The Chairman with a medium size line, and then the rest had basically no line. I knew that it would be a mistake, but we tried out Mastermind as the Vietnamese / Chinese food sounded good, and we have had good luck in the past with it from food trucks. I figured that it is usually hard to go wrong with a Drunken Noodle dish, so I decided to try that one. What I received was not drunken noodle. It was linguini, tossed with some spices (very dry) and more dry chicken that had tendons and was hard to chew. A piece of cilantro was tossed on top for decoration. I ordered a 3 on the spicy scale of 1-5, and tasted barely any spice. If I ever did get food from Mastermind again (which I won't), I would get a 4 or 5. Lastly, regarding the amount. This poor dish was $10. However the annoying part, that the other food trucks there did not force on me was a charge to use a credit card, that was not noted and the addition of tax, which other food trucks included in their pricing. Overall this dish was a failure, and I would be shocked how much loner Mastermind stays around. Considering I'm just the 3rd review, I think that it's days of business should be coming to an end.

    Catering was amazing, so next day I visited the dine-in restaurant...off Soto Street in Boyle…read moreHeights, right across from the L.A. General Hospital.. It's a lovely mom and pop place with an al fresco patio....I enjoyed the ambiance 5/5 with a lot to captivate your eye....with a revolutionary but festive vibe. I did takeout however. Food was ready when I arrived, I was greeted warmly and appreciatively. 5/5 as for the food, overall, was homey and solid but not as delicious as the Catering service I experienced the day before at an East L.A. event. The asada burrito was well built but the meat preparation was ground and had consistency like ground beef chili, so this made me think it was a mistake in our order tho it's possible this was the asada. The chicken enchiladas were pretty and the chicken was shredded nicely. . I liked the half half presentation but it was dry and the tortillas were mealy. Needed queso inside maybe?? Also I loved therice and beans, but the portion of beans seemed like a 3rd of an ice cream scoop and didn't fill the takeout container. 2/5 I actually loved the beans from their Catering service and the generous portion the server ladled onto my plate. My restaurant serving seemed kinda skimpy in comparison. Granted it took 12 minutes to get my takeout home, but the overall experience of what I ordered was a bit disappointing though not fatal. I'd love to try their other items dining in....their caldo from the Catering was so amazing ( I believe it was beef en jugo soup.... and so were the sort tacos....in which tge asada was clearly steak not ground beef. Catering was 5/5. Restaurant takeout 3/5. The three flavors of agua Fresca during the catering was amazing pineapple mango, watermelon, and a cucumber drink. At the restaurant, they had a mango drink 5/5 and an orange/cucumber 2/5 (something black was on the bottom of the orange drink, ugh). This is a place I'll give the benefit of the doubt. That's how good their catering service, that inspired me to seek out the restaurant.
