    Small Traditional Guacamole
    Michelle B.

    Stopped in for taco Tuesday. Friendly service. Poke tacos were great. Jerk chicken didn't have much of a kick at all. The ceviche tostadas were adorable little size. Basically two bites each. Guacamole also was pretty good. Happy Hour all day Tuesday for the win. Sorry we ate too fast for more photos this trip.

    Visited for lunch today. After reading on yelp that there was parking in the back, I drove straight to the back (they have some limited parking in the front). Walked in the rear entrance and placed order at the counter. Nice, quick, friendly service. I joined the rewards on toast during the checkout process. Ordered a Cali Cowboy and Grilled Shrimp. Both were fresh and tasty! I wasn't sure which of the several fresh salsas to pair with my tacos. I went with the medium tomatillo (several available in the mild and hot categories). When the medium didn't have enough heat for me, I got the habanero salsa. GREAT flavor and not unbearably hot. Just perfect on both the shrimp & beef tacos. The shrimp could have been hotter, but the taco was still good & I would order again. The winner today was the Cali cowboy. The brisket had a nice bbq flavor, the avocado slices were perfectly ripe, the fresh jalapenos were crunchy, & the drizzle of crema sauce all made this taco my favorite!! Love the atmosphere. Casual, coastal, bright, & welcoming to all.

    Stopped by after trying their location near Memorial Park-- the bright and colorful interior with big windows letting in the sunlight was really nice. And they had the garage door in the back open with the nicer weather :) they have a big menu including breakfast tacos until 2pm, nachos, quesadillas, bowls, poke/ceviche-- but we stuck with the mainstream-- tacos! Tortilla options include the usual flour and corn but also jicama (type of root veggie like a potato that reminds me of raw radish, and they're low carb/calorie). I think the jicama tortillas would be better warmed up instead of cold, since all our tacos (all with jicama!) felt lukewarm when they reached the table. We tried 5 tacos, with my favorites being the grilled mahi mahi and bang bang shrimp. The meat options we chose (KBBQ, pork banh mi, and carnitas ) were all quiteeee salty for me. The KBBQ flavor also doesn't taste like the traditional Korean bulgogi sauce, more of a Pei Wei style / overly sweet / overly salty version. However, the fish tacos (grilled Mahi mahi, bang bang shrimp) were not over salted and quite flavorful and enjoyable! The mahi was meaty and not overcooked or dry. They also did a great job catering towards customizations (no cilantro for specific tacos, jicama tortillas choice, etc.). I will stick with the fish options next time or go to their other location to see if the meat options are also super salty! Pay at the front and they'll bring you the food. There are self serve water and sauce stations, and service was friendly and accommodating. There's a small parking lot at the front and a larger one in the back!

    Ceviche

    Ceviche was good just really salty. Fresh made tortilla chips to go along and a prepared salsa bar. Overall was really good. Customer service was really nice and friendly. I would definitely go back.

    Carnitas on corn and "surf and turf" on corn
    Lizzie M.

    Restaurant is 3 month old now. Right by Trader Joe's near Alabama and Shepherd Streets in Montrose. Manager, Carlos, super nice guy, came over to check on how we liked our food. All of it was excellent. We had four different tacos all exceptional. My fav is surf and turf on corn. They have an outdoor seating area that they plan to cover. We eat at the Pacific Taco in Sugarland and Washington St. Houston location. Great variety and tasty combos. Try it!

    Taco and Poke nachos
    Haley G.

    Love!! The tacos are so yummy. Haven't tried the breakfast tacos though! Clean, fresh tacos. I love the tuna nachos as well, perfectly done honestly. Inexpensive fun casual spot for dinner! Service was great. Talked to the manager like 3 times when I last visited and checked on us even when it's not a waiter style restaurant.

    Great experience, they really load up the tacos! The passion dragon drink is great and so is the habanero pico de gallo. The wait time is very quick and they deliver it to your table, and they have good live music on the outside patio. It could be a little cooler inside, but it's manageable.

    Queso, but it needs some color on top
    Monica F.

    Do yourself a favor and try these tacos! Seriously! But save yourself the headache and park in the back, the lot is good size! Husband and I ordered the Baja queso to start. The cheese was thick and had a good flavor. I feel like there should have been some jalapeños on top, like pictured on their site, as it looked pretty boring though. For my tacos, I got the surf and turf and the cali cowboy. Hands down, the cali cowboy was my favorite. The brisket was crispy and delicious. The surf and turf was good but true to fajita meat, the beef was chewy, but the shrimp was delish! I love they have the hot sauces already in containers so you can get what you want. I didn't find any of them to be terribly hot, not even the habanero, but it's ok because it would kill the flavor of the food. The staff was super cool, the place is super clean and bright, and they have a full bar. I will definitely be back!

Finding authentic TJ flavor in Texas (not Tex-Mex) was a welcome surprise! Our carne asada was grilled al carbón and you could taste the char! Juicy carne full of flavor, thin but strong and tasty tortillas (they really held everything together well), perfect chunky guac (not too fancy or full of fillers--IYKYK), and a variety of delicious salsas and hot sauces! An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well.

Limited indoor seating, and since it gets busy we usually order to go. When I did dine in it was nice experience, feels authentic like eating a local spot in Mexico. You have the Mexican cokes available, the style of tacos has a big scoop of guac which makes them a bit unique compared to other spots that charge extra for guac. Their tacos are big too! Not the mini small taco tortillas you get in a food truck. These are big tacos so getting 2 is enough for me. I've tried their Asado tacos and their quesadillas and their quesabirrias all 10/10.

    Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.
