    Tacos with everything plus cheese
    Jared G.

    I ordered tacos asada, pastor, cabeza and tripas with everything plus cheese. Everything was pretty good, but only mildly flavorful. The tripas stood out a little with only slightly earthy taste and slightly crispy. The amount of meat in each taco is a little conservative. They don't have carnitas. There served with grilled onions and Serrano peppers. The red and green sauce, red is fairly spicy, green is medium spicy. It will get the job done for late-night tacos.

    Nice lighting, clean area, and new chairs!

    I'm surprised they don't have many reviews, maybe it's still a hidden jem? It's always busy but maybe not enough yelpers in that crowd. This truck was normally parked on the opposite side of the street and didn't have any seating options. We used to sit on plastic containers. The owner made a wise choice and recently purchased actual heavy duty chairs. So good job guys seems like you're listening to your customers. They serve grilled onions and serranos, they have a spicy green or red sauce that compliment the meats. This truck always looks clean and the cooks wearing matching collar shirts adds a nice touch! It's a great taco truck on the west side of the valley. One more thing...they serve Aguas Frescas! The horchata was tasty.

    2 Asada, 2 Buche + complimentary sides

    Since moving to the area, this spot is a convenient one stop shop for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and aguas frescas. There are multiple meats to choose from, including Asada, Pollo, Al Pastor, Lengua, Tripas, Cabeza, Buche, and Pescado (extra). The green and red (spicy) salsa add a nice kick to the dish and the extra fixings (grilled onion, raddish, and picked carrots/jalapeño) complement well. My usual go-to is the burrito de al pastor.

    The blonde lady over charged us by $10 and some change- needs to pay attention

Came in last night to celebrate a friend's birthday (they have happy hour all day Mon-Wed) and was pleasantly surprised. My friends started off ordering the HH guava margaritas, which they enjoyed. I ordered the coconut margarita (not on HH) a must !!!! Not overwhelmingly sweet and tasty! We ordered and rated the following dishes: Guacamole: 9/10 HH tinga Nachos: 7.5/10 (flavor was there but most chips were burnt) HH Taquitos papas: 9/10 great flavor and sauce HH steak tacos: 7.5/10 the corn and portion of meat to the taco was very good. The steak a little well done for my liking. Enchiladas verde: 9/10 great portion honestly enough for two to share. Rice and beans were okay. Beans a bit salty and rice was a bit bland. Would definitely come back for the apps and drinks! They also have brunch which looks like fun.

When we got there, there was a DJ playing 80s/90s throwbacks. It was good music and vibes, but it was quite loud, we could barely hear ourselves speak. Luckily he wasn't there too long, as brunch-time was over. We ordered Mango margaritas, chips & salsa, birria tacos, tinga taquitos, elote, and chicken enchiladas with green sauce. Every single thing was delicious. I was highly impressed. This place will definitely be in the rotation. If I didn't live so far away, I would go for happy hour.

Don't let the exterior of the building deter you from checking out this hidden gem. Once you enter, you are greeted by an incredibly friendly staff and some authentic Mexican decor. The menu is stacked with a lot of traditional staples. The food overall is simply tasty and the portion sizes are large. Prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food and drink. A special note is the chile relleno, any burrito, and the molcajete, which is filled with incredible chicken, steak, shrimp, cactus, cheese, and wonderfully-spiced vegetables that is perfect to share.

Plenty of parking in a retail lot and the restrooms are clean and well-stocked.

He was super sweet. Since they were closing, it was only to go order that that time which we were totally fine with. We got two crunchy tacos both beef, one shredded, one steak/cubed. They came with chips and extra bag of chips on the side as well. They have a salsa bar so I took two of the spiciest salsas to go. I wish I would've taken the other salsa just to taste them as well, but we will come back for sure! We drove home, which is about a little over five minutes away. The tacos were yummy! I liked them both. I asked my husband which one he liked better and he liked them both but he would pick the shredded beef. I honestly thought they were both delicious. I will get them both again. If I had to pick one, maybe the cubed/steak. Really friendly staff and I appreciate that. Looking forward to coming back and trying more.
