    Such a cute spot! The employees are so friendly. The atmosphere is so relaxing, especially when the weather is great. There is only outdoor seating. We had their tacos and tres leches - amazing! Wish we lived in the area because we would go back!

    I was in the area for my birthday and we stopped her for lunch. I ordered the carne asada quesadilla that comes with rice and beans. The portions were big and super filling. They offer different flavors of jarritos. The staff were super friendly and the dining area is located outside. I enjoy Mexican cuisine and this place was perfect! I would definitely stop by the next time I come to the area!

    Been coming to chincoteague for years and this is a new favorite spot for us! Really authentic Mexican food, I am sad we haven't come sooner. This is your real deal Mexican food, not the trendy overpriced tacos that are actually just sub par. I ordered a barbacoa and carnitas burrito and it was larger than my head and filled with rice, beans, cheese, and fresh guac. So massive I couldn't finish it (but was impressed with how far I made it). The tacos all looked really good too, especially the shrimp. I can't wait to come back next time we are here; this was definitely one of our favorite meals of the trip!!

    Came by here after a day at the beach and got me some tacos! Was not disappointed. I couldn't convince my family to get tacos (they grabbed food from Island Dawg next door, but both areas allow you to bring food from one and each at the other's tables, just make sure you clean up and return trays to the right place), so I had to be strategic. I got three different types so I could get a feel for all the flavors. The folks in the stand speak both English and Spanish, and they took my order in Spanish. They got the food out to me pretty quickly. I got the Barbacoa, the Carnitas, and the Cajun Shrimp. I really can't pick a favorite; they were all so good. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, plump and tender. The barbacoa and carnitas were solid and I don't think they could be any better. There are some vegetarian options, so there's something for everyone! Next time I'm back, I look forward to trying more of the menu!

    3.5/5 stars Good tacos for the area but fairly standard in general. The salsas were lackluster and the shrimp taco wasn't great. Although the asada taco was great texture and flavor. Overall I wasn't wowed for a $5 taco.

    We stopped here for 1 taco each as an appetizer before dinner. We were trying to go to as many restaurants as possible in our not long enough weekend in Chincoteague. This is a food truck. This is not a restaurant. There are no bathrooms - there usually isn't with food trucks. This is a great stop for a casual meal after a day of exploring. You order at the window and pick up on the side window. Picnic tables to sit at. DO NOT FEED THE SEAGULLS! I got the Cajun Shrimp Taco which was awesome and great presentation. My friend got the Asada (steak) Taco. We pretty much inhaled. Corn tortillas did not fall apart and there was plenty of filling including avocado, corn, salsa and cheese. They have a grab and go for Mexican sodas and waters. No alcohol - a beer would have been perfect though. Clean up when you are done. I would go back next time I am in Chincoteague.

    We took out dinner from there in the 2nd week of November in 2023. The food was plentiful, cheap, and tasty. Also, they had a good vegetarian option that was important for our party. We would happily go back there to eat.

    Wow, what a treat this food truck was! We were a group of five so several different things were ordered. Tacos, burritos, sopas and tostados. We wanted to try it all. Oh, and an order of rice and an order of beans. Tacos were barbacoa, carne asada and pollo. All with pico de gallo and queso fresco. The barbacoa were the best! The meat was so tender and flavorful! (We ordered the tacos with flour tortillas). Our friends totally enjoyed their burritos and I even got a taste of the sopas with barbacoa and it was so good! If you get two tacos, that will probably be enough. The two of us got two tacos each and the orders of rice and beans. We tasted the rice and beans and they were 'ok' but not great enough to order again.

    Best tacos on the island. We ordered chicken and steak. It automatically comes with onions and cilantro or pico. I got cheese... corn tortillas are awesome. They make everything fresh so it takes a bit but it is worth the wait. But the service is fast. It's a good truck so it's outside seating on picnic tables.

    I love Mexican food and avoid chain restaurants. I was excited to check this place out when I read…read morethe reviews online, My husband and I were traveling through the area and decided to stop. At first glance my husband just wanted to keep on driving. Myself I am always open for an adventure and have found some of the best Mexican food in other hole in the wall places like this. There is no indoor seating, there is a small outdoor eating area or takeout only. You wouldn't know they served food from driving by or upon entering the facility. Inside is a store where they sell many Mexican foods, beverages and produce. The inside was not very clean and a bit run down, the outside eating area was littered with cigarette butts and soda cap lids, no trash receptacle other than a thin garbage bag tied to a post that was over flowing. On a good note, the cashier was very pleasant. Our food came out timely , I was disappointed with the food, very bland, the rice was chopped up and my carnitas dry. My husband only ate 1/2 of his Burrito. Wish the food was better and the place was cleaner as we travel down that way often....

    A random find on my way home from the Eastern Shore but glad I stumbled across it!…read more It's a small market/corner store that sells a lot of Hispanic goods. At the counter, you can order food (which is what I came for)! They make it fresh to order. I had an al pastor taco and a tamale. Along with a bottle of water, my total was around $3.75. Can't beat it! Everything tasted great; I ate in my car before continuing on my way. I used to live in LA and was used to super authentic Mexican food. Hard to find in the Hampton Roads/Eastern Shore area. That being said, this was one of the better places that I've tried; tasted like authentic street fare. The taco even had radishes, which was an authentic touch you just don't see around here; made me super happy. Def will stop again if passing through the area.
