    Fish taco combo plate
    Lisa L.

    I ordered the 2 fish taco plate for lunch (comes with rice and beans). It was very good with the way they dress it up, I enjoyed it very much. I would definitely recommend getting the fish tacos. I will be back to try other things on their menu Honorable Mentions: -Plenty of parking -Seating avail inside -Accepts credit card

    The food was delicious, and I would come back. I got the carne asada burrito, which is great because it comes with rice and beans. The prices are still reasonable for what you are getting. 10 out of 10.

    Food was good and fair price. Had a chili relleno combination. Also had a carne asada burrito. Will come back.

    I only stopped in here for street tacos one day. I would have to say that definitely need a bit of a remodel inside as it's not too inviting. However, the food and the service is on par here. Even with just ordering a few tacos, I got a basket of fresh tortilla chips and fresh salsa as well. Although, there isn't a salsa bar here but the tacos come with plenty of the fixins' that you may want.

    My favorite one item combo Chile Rellano and a horchata

    Local place near me. I've gone here for several years now and the food is always good. Freshly cooked. Best beans and rice around. My favorite is the chile rellano

    Free chips

    Ok wow. This place is a California unicorn. Great food with a great price. $10 combination meals? Didnt know they existed in Cali. Got 2 chimichangs (one beef, one chicken) and what the hell, for this price throw in a taco also. Add an ice tea and the price is still $18. I think its the first meal I had here under $20. So left me start with the best part.....the free chips and salsa. Usually you know what to expect with these freebies, but these are off the charts. For the first time I found myself with no chips to use on the beans when the meal came. And the salsa? Can I get some in a bottle to go? Perfect blend and not real spicy. One of the best I have had anywhere. While the salsa was good and mild, the beef was a little on the spicy side. While the level was not too much for me, I know it would be too much for my wife. She wasn't here with me though, so no damage done. They may want to turn it down just a little though. The chicken didn't seem as spicy and had a good overall flavor. Even without chips left, I finished the rice and beans. I usually leave these behind, but not here. If you're looking for some good cheap Mexican food......this is the place.

Super yummy food with great customer service! The food is delicious because I keep coming back. However, one employee treats their sauce like it's gold. I always got sauce for free to go and then all of a sudden he decided he wanted to start charging me. Sometimes I get charged, and sometimes I don't. It's very frustrating because they only except cash. There was a female employee that used to work there during the day. I haven't seen her for a while, but I wish she would come back. She was awesome!!!

Decided to drop in and was delighted to know their Taco Tuesday special is $1 street tacos for a select handful of 8 protein fillings and $2 for 6 other choices. Even their regular price is still very reasonable. There was definitely a line around 6pm but it moved quickly. Love that they also have a self service taco condiments bar and area on the side of their truck where you can top your food with the freshly sliced or pickled veggies/chilis and slather on various taco sauces to your heart's content. Especially loved that they use a rotating gyro style meat grill for some of their meats. I also noticed they had another truck/van parked nearby where one of the staff would go to replenish some of their supplies for their taco truck. What an efficient way to keep up with demand by having a mobile/secondary vehicle that you can use for storage of stock to keep up with the high demand. I loved all the street tacos that I tried: carnitas, fried fish filet, al pastor, carne asada. Flavorful and done right! Definitely recommend this spot any day of the week when they're open, but especially for their Taco Tuesday specials.

    Honestly, this place is terrible. It doesn't come close to the superior Tacos El May right next…read moredoor. I used to come here on Taco Tuesdays only because the tacos were $1 and the line at El May is always too long. I chose convenience over taste, but in the end, this place offers neither. On my last visit, I waited about 40 minutes for my tacos. I ordered six and only managed to eat three before realizing I had overpaid and that the $1 tacos weren't worth my time or the effort it took to chew them. I threw the remaining three straight into the trash. I genuinely chose to go hungry rather than finish them. The meat and tortillas were both bad, and the portion sizes were pitiful. I honestly don't recommend this place at all, especially when Tacos El May is literally right next door.
