Since I've lived in the Gardendale area this place has had 3-4 different names. The previous…read moreplaces all seemed to miss the mark in one way or another, food, cleanliness, decor. Who ever owns the place now has their stuff together. I've been there several times over the last few months every time I really enjoyed the meal. Place is tasteful decorated in a festive Mexican theme, service was fast and efficient. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good. I had the lunch fijatis, if I had any issue it would have been you only get 2 tortillas with the meal, I'm positive I could have ask for more. Also had one of the top shelf margaritas, would have had another except I was alone, so no one to drive. Really good margarita. This place is by far the BEST Mexican Restaurant in the Gardendale Fultondale area. All the others could close and not be missed.

Excellent food, fast friendly service, very good selection and variety ,we will be back!read more

We stopped by this food truck to pick up some queso birria tacos. Birmingham Yelpers rate this…read morebusiness 4.9 so we decided to give it a try. We placed our order and were given a pager to let us know when our order would be ready. We ordered queso birria tacos, chips and salsa and a chicken burrito. The quesa Birria tacos were good. Not great but good. There was a decent amount of beef but the tacos were not overly stuffed. The consommé or soup was a little oily but not bad. 4/5 The chicken burrito was very good. It had a good amount of meat and was seasoned well. 5/5 The chips and salsa were a disappointment. The chips were great. The salsa had way too much sugar. I ate two bites and stopped due to the high sugar content. I thought I had pics of the chips and salsa but I don't. 3/5 Overall my experience was good. I prefer Catrinas. 4/5

I am on the hunt for the best tamale I can find around here. Came across Tamale Queen food truck…read morein the neighborhood today, so of course I had to try it out. To get an accurate idea of how their tamales are, I ordered two plain tamales. Of course they were pre-made, so I got my food right away. The staff was very friendly and efficient! Took the tamales home and was digging into them within 10 minutes. I would definitely say they are above average. They tasted fresh and not grainy....but a little light on the flavor. The sauce that came with the tamales definitely helps and kicks the flavor up a notch. On that front, I would recommend getting at least a sauce per tamale ordered since the sauce container is so tiny. I ran out of the sauce before I even finished the first one! While my search for the best tamale around is not over, I would definitely order from Tamale Queen again the next time I run into them!

You can't really go wrong with a basic steak taco or quesadilla. This taco truck is in a convenient location with very reasonable prices. The service is friendly and attentive to each persons order. There isn't much seating if that's something you're looking for. As mentioned this is a good fast street taco spot. It's perfect for days you're on the go and want an affordable tasty takeout option. If you check out this spot let me know what you think. They have a wide variety of options on their menu. Don't forget to ask for their salsa verde. It's great and adds just the right amount of spice to your order. They also have soft drinks as well as jarritos. Overall I'd recommend and go back.

He kept all of the tickets separate, knew who ordered what, asked if we needed anything, and helped me with plates and silverware for the cake. Thanks again, we had an amazing day!

I have been to this taco truck many times since they move in to the Tarrant neighborhood. At first…read morethey were so delicious, where I have love all their meats. Throughout the years they have been inconsistent with the seasoning and how the meat is cooked. They have a variety of meats and always have to ask if they have certain meat available. I love how they cook the tortillas with a little oil and the meat juice which is very savory when eating them. Another dish I really love getting is the Huarache, which is a fried corn patty with your meat choice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, jalapeños, sour cream and cotija cheese. Other dishes are either a hit or miss, which I rarely get. So if you in the neighborhood you should try them and hopefully is a hit.

Tarrant has limited choices so my husband was excited to find something tasty from this taco truck…read more He thinks the tacos with the soft corn tortillas, which are lightly crisped around the edges, are delicious. They come with cilantro, onions, and shredded cheese. The chicken is his go to meat choice for the tacos. I was able to try a bite of the chicken and thought it was juicy and had a nice grilled flavor. He has also enjoyed his steak burritos stuffed with beans, rice, onions, and cilantro. I love the soft and chewy flour tortilla.He likes the steak but says the flavor is not like that of typical beef steak. I ordered a torta with Alpastor (spicy pork). The Alpastor was very good with big chunks of tender meat. The bread was not quite as soft and chewy as others I've had, maybe this roll was a little stale. Overall the flavor of the sandwich was good and even better with a dash of hot sauce. Grab a drink from the ice chest underneath the window. They offer a variety of sodas in glass bottles or cans. Also spotted some bottled water, Gatorade, and energy drinks. They have pickled vegetables sitting out with the drinks. Although I typically enjoy them as part of the taco truck experience I wasn't adventurous enough to try the ones that had been sitting out uncovered in Tarrant city. Hubby says the line is usually long at lunch so you may benefit from going at an off time.

I did not eat my food there because I needed to get home. The nachos without meat were a generous portion with the perfect ratio of chips to toppings. I had to write a review of a food truck for a class, and this food truck was one of very few in Birmingham that offered vegetarian options and was open late. It was hard to find one that was open after I got off work. I would have probably never gone to this place except that it was one of the only options for my assignment, but I will recommend it to others who like to support local businesses and need a quick bite.
