    On the long I-5 trek between the Bay Area and Southern California my general rule is to make one…read morestop, filling up the car, emptying the bladder, and having lunch at In-N-Out. This trip was no different except I'd begun in a different city than usual which changed the time and place that I stopped. While filling the gas tank at the Arco in Santa Nella I couldn't help but notice the taco truck (with shaded seating area) on the far edge of the property. Any plans for In-N-Out evaporated when I walked over and checked out the offerings. 6 tacos later ($2.86 each; 4 carne asada, 1 al pastor, 1 carnitas shared between two people) we'd both declared this place a winner. Had it not been so hot out I'd have also purchased a burrito for later. Or perhaps the 3 enchiladas for $7. Or maybe some quesabirrias. You see where I'm going. I thought the tacos here were declicious and was pretty certain I'd find the rest of the menu no different. Fresh and spicy salsas as well as a plop of grilled onions made these tacos as enticing as any In-N-Out burger and that's a compliment to both places. If you find yourself looking for very good Mexican fare in Santa Nella, look no further.

    On our roadtrip to LA we stopped at this spot for some tacos. Not knowing anything about this place…read morewe loved the food here. The chicken tacos was probably one of the best that ive had and i love when we get grilled jalapenos and onions with the tacos! Salsa was also good and flavorful. We didnt wait too long and there was not many people ahead of us, not much else to say! Great chicken tacos & good vibes obviously they are a food truck so locations will vary!

    I used to eat here when I was a kid and it was always so delicious. I was in the area today and it…read morestill tastes amazing as I remember. Great friendly service as well. Highly recommend.

    Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with our experience here. I'm leaving this review because I…read moregenuinely hope the owner takes the feedback seriously and works on improving the quality and preparation of the food. I ordered the steak fajitas with shrimp, and the plate looked nothing like the picture. Instead of nicely sliced strips of steak, I received very large chunks of steak that were difficult to eat and honestly felt like a choking hazard. The meat also had more fat than actual meat, and both the steak and shrimp lacked flavor. The chips were stale, the salsa was extremely watery, and both the horchata and jamaica tasted watered down. We also ordered caldo de res, and the broth was so clear and flavorless that it practically looked like water. Even the quesadilla wasn't prepared properly--the cheese wasn't fully melted. Overall, the food lacked the flavor, quality, and attention to detail that you expect when going out to eat. It felt like the passion and care for the food just wasn't there, almost as though the food was being cooked just to get it out rather than to make something customers would enjoy. I really hope the owner uses feedback like this to improve the quality of the ingredients, seasoning, and preparation. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not return.
