    Flavorful tacos
    Linda D.

    Went here today and left my phone in the car so I missed taking pictures. I had 2 chicken tacos . Soft tacos and my partner had a beef taco and a shredded beef taco . Both orders were very flavorful and nicely prepared . Thanks to the lovely ladies at the food truck.

    Carne Asada Tacos.
    Alessandro G.

    I love it here! The service is fast and the tacos are always consistently good! Over the years, I've ordered the tacos, tostadas and quesadillas and I can recommend them all with confidence. Very authentic! You order inside and wait around the food truck parked out front. Everything is served on foam plates and wrapped in cellophane, so clearly all the focus is on the food! There is a few tables outside, not "patio dining" by any means as this is a roadside location, but it's a fun spot to grab lunch on a work day.

    Barbacoa & Carne Asada Tacos with Queso Blanco
    Sky L.

    My first meal when I moved to Florida was this taco truck and I've been going every since! (7 years now) nothing can't curve that craving like their tacos! (I always add queso and the green salsa is perfectly spicy) Everything is so authentic, affordable and mind blowingly flavorful!

    Order inside. Pickup at truck.

    Carne asada burrito review only Meat- 1 star Tortilla- Beans- 1 star Rice- 1 star Salsa- Notes: burrito came wet without asking. Salsa was spicy but watery Also ordered not reviewed: Al pastor and lengua tacos

    Phone number: call your order in

    Passed this place many times but never tried it before. Well you know it's authentic and good before even trying it because there's about 30 brown people outside at the tables either eating or waiting for food at dinner time. This little food truck is MOVING some food out! In the 20 minutes it took from ordering to getting the food, we saw about 15 or more plates of food leave the truck. The line behind us kept growing. Got our food home and AMAZING FLAVORS! I had steak tacos and I am not exaggerating when I say these are the best tacos in Brevard County. Can't wait to try their other stuff. You can also call your order in ahead of time, so that's super helpful.

    Tacos, overpriced you don't get your worth. 1.75-2.00 @ most I would pay.

    Nice spot I would give it another try. Quick tip, when you are eating at a food truck/sit down spot, if the chicken is Boiled, DONT DO IT. luckily these folks don't so we good to go! Good selection of food. Keep up the good work! HHF? Yea mos def!

    Adobada tacos with a side of rice and beans.

    Great authentic Mexican food! You won't be disappointed. I recommend the whole menu. This small place is a real gem and beyond expectations. Inside is a store with a nice variety of items. I will continue to eat here.

    Asada Gorditas
    C C.

    Good asada tortas, good asada gorditas, good asada burritos! I will try the menudo and tamales this weekend and I anticipate them being good as well...I hope great though. There are limited Mexican restaurants in the area and we've tried about half of them and were very disappointed...bland and watered down Mexican food to say the least. BUT this place is authentic and you will not be disappointed...good, authentic Mexican food is here! They've got a regular customer because we'll be back.

    I wish they had shrimp tacos but the bean burrito I had was really good. They put red sauce on top and it comes with a salad. Plenty of flavorful food for a reasonable price.

    The actual Mexican food seems to be made in the Taco Truck. You need to make your order in the store though.

She had no idea we were in town for a funeral, but this ended up being such a needed pick-me-up for our family. The vibe, the food, and Sofi's energy just turned our whole night around.

I came here for lunch with my brother and parents while on vacation and was pleasantly impressed from the start. Our waiter, Jesus, stopped by quickly with warm chips and salsa and was attentive throughout the meal, keeping chips refilled and waters topped off without us needing to ask. The food arrived incredibly fast. We ordered the Burrito Deluxe, Hawaiian Fajitas, Chicken Fajitas, Avocado Salad with chicken, and a beef quesadilla. Everything was excellent, with generous portions. Burritos and quesadillas were filled simply with plenty of meat and cheese, while rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, and tomato were served on the side. The fajitas followed a similar setup, with meat and veggies on a hot plate and tortillas and sides served separately. Even coming from a "clean plate club" family, we still needed three takeout containers to clear the table. Those who are spice-averse will be happy to know the house salsa is mild and was enjoyed by everyone in our group. One thing to note: the Hawaiian Fajitas include shrimp, which is not listed on the menu. This was disappointing for me due to my allergy, but a delight for my parents, who happily raced to pick the shrimp out of the dish. After striking out at several nearby restaurants, we were glad to find this spot and will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

But grease is fat and fat is flavor. Burrito deluxe was also out quickly and a large portion. All good with it. The lunch specials seem to be the same as dinner. Good portions and huge flavors. Down from five stars since the servers seemed a bit absent today. Protip: 2 prices cash or credit.

While it was strong, it was still tasty and it came along with mini Reposado bottle where you dump the contents into your drink. If you like strong drinks like me, I recommend this one. My MIL and hubby had a margarita and I don't remember what it was called but man was it a HUGE margarita! You definitely need to pace yourself with this one.

I want to try different items on the menu next time but this one was a good first choice. Overall, the vibe inside the restaurant, cleanliness, and staff attention exceeded expectations.
