    Cabeza taco
    Sasa F.

    3.5 stars. Really wanted to rate them higher, but their food is pretty average. So, the experience was good. Was looking for something that is fast, easy n convenient. Order and got my food without any issues. Unlike other taco stands and taco trucks, they do not have a self serve/buffet style condiments & sauces bar. Cucumbers and lime were given. Onion & cilantro was already placed on the tacos. Sauces were also given by them and placed in the bag since I ordered it for to-go. Got a cabeza taco $2/ea and carne asada burrito $10. Both were okay/alright. Nothing to rave about. One green and one red sauce were given for my order. Both tasted so-so. Again, nothing to write home about. The sauces were needed, but didn't help elevate the taco or burrito much. I do like the pineapple drink. Small is $3 and large is $4. So, price is reasonable. FOOD: Cabeza Taco 3.5/5 Carne Asada Burrito with everything (rice & beans included) 3.5/5 SAUCES: Verde (green) 3/5 Roja (red) 3/5 AQUA FRESCA: Pineapple 4.5/5 (Like that it taste sweet without feeling overly sweet) Think I'll give them another chance and try other things to see if it's any good.

    The birria tacos were very dry, it came with no consomé and the two tacos were 11 dollars.

    Al pastor burrito

    Pretty standard LA taco cart. The Al Pastor is my favorite option. Service is friendly and portions are solid. It's a bit pricey, but so is everything these days. If you're in the area, it's a decent taco truck for late night eats. I like the stools outside so you can eat it while it's fresh.

    My fam & I were craving some tacos and saw this truck so decided to try it out. We ordered some asada, lengua, & pastor tacos along with an asada burrito. It is decently priced @ $2 per taco, burrito being $9. On Thursdays, they have a special where they sell their pastor for $1. There is no price on their menu, but they have what they sell as well as a translation of each type of meat which was helpful! The service and friendliness of the workers were pretty nice & quick. They got our order done within 5 minutes. The order came with 3 types of sauces which I enjoyed trying. My favorite was the salsa verde & avocado salsa. There was a variety of toppings such as grilled jalapeños, grilled onions, diced peppers, radish, lime, cucumbers, in addition to the cilantro & onions. We asked for extra onions/cilantro & they kindly gave us some more with no extra cost! Taste wise, I was disappointed because the taco itself didn't taste as good as I hoped. It was lacking in flavor across the board and the quality of the meats felt underwhelming. My favorite was the lengua because it tasted more fresh, but both beef & pastor felt like it's been sitting there. The lime given was hard and barely had juice and the taco flavors didn't mesh as well as I hoped despite all the add-ons. I had a taste of my dad's burrito but the rice was mushy and broken in bits. Overall, price is decent, service was efficient and kind, but sadly food missed the mark for me. Hope to see improvements made because it is a sweet little business!

    I was super excited to try this place out due to how colorful the food truck represented themselves outside; however, the quality in the food did not deliver. Moreover, the taste in the meats did not taste fresh (sadly) and it honestly felt like the meat has been sitting there. What DID deliver though was the service and their menu, it was super easy to order. Furthermore, I appreciated the choices of meat and how the menu translated. In addition, they give you complimentary onions, cilantro, lime, and radish. They made our order quick too! It took around 4-5 minutes for them to complete the order. At first, they gave one small bag of onions, and I realized that was too little, so I asked for two more bags. Good thing I did because one bag of onions is not enough for 9 tacos. My favorite taco I ordered are the lengua tacos, it tasted the most appetizing to me, nonetheless, what disappointed me the most was eating the pastor tacos because it lacked flavor and wasn't fresh.

    Delicious tacos! Quick service and paid with cash, exact price. Highly recommend the asada or pastor taco! $13 nachos

    my favorite taco truck. love the quesadillas, especially with tongue, pork belly, or chicken. service is very friendly, love the staff. this is the spot where my quesadilla addiction started :)

    Pastor tacos
    Peggy Q.

    I found this place shopping at the hoa binh supermarket. It's parked on Garvey ave on the side of the plaza of cvs and hoa binh market. They have DOLLAR PASTOR TACOS ON THURSDAYS!! It's pretty good and it comes with a tostada con frijoles for free. Their drinks are decently priced too. The ladies that were taking my order were nice and offered extra salsas if I needed any. Their salsas and toppings aren't self served but they give you enough. You can eat on the ledge of their truck if you want to eat there. I would love to see them get more business!

    El Pastor $1 each on Thursday!

    Taco Thursday! If you're looking for delicious el pastro tacos without breaking the bank. This is the spot for you! $1 el pastor every Thursday and large Aqua Fresca 2 for $6.

    I stopped by because the smells coming out of this taco truck made me hungry. Food hits the spot! The chicken in both the burrito and tacos taste like they've been marinated with limes; they're so good. Service is really fast and super friendly. Convenient location. Plenty of street parking wherever they are. Usually located around the intersection San Gabriel Blvd and Garvey. They accept cash, zelle, cash app, and apple pay.

    My go to Taco Tuesday spot. I get at least two of everything. Tacos are flavorful and a great deal…read more Horchata is so bomb after a workout. A sweet refresher that always hits the spot. Service is fast and there are lots of parking to chill. Looking for late night grubs? Come here!

We stopped by after the gym and ordered some food. My partner and I shared the nachos, while our friends got the quesadilla and tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food tasted fresh, was well-seasoned, and wasn't overly salty, which I really appreciated. One thing I love is their salsa bar. They have a self-serve area outside the truck where you can get as much salsa as you want. It's convenient, and it's nice that they're not stingy with condiments. They also offer daily specials. We didn't order any of the daily deals this time, but they looked like a great value. If you're looking for delicious food at an even better price, definitely check out their daily specials before ordering. The location is another plus. It's right outside Jefferson Middle School in a quiet area with plenty of parking, making it very convenient to visit. Several people recommended the horchata, saying I had to try it, so I ended up getting one and sharing it with my partner. It was really good! The only thing I noticed was that it didn't come with ice, so we added some when we got home. The service was quick and friendly. They took our order right away, and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back soon.

    Simple fast Mexican food. Ordered the #3- Cheese Enchilada…read morecombo plate. It was good. But I'd say a 4 star, not 5, because it was lacking the rich red sauce I am accustomed to. More mild red, not really red enchilada sauce I'm accustomed to. And the cheese wasn't fully melted through, but the plate was hot, so maybe they figure it will melt eventually. They were nice and greeted me upon arriving and their simple salsa bar had 3 choices and some picked carrots and onions. The horchata was good. A quick affordable meal, nothing fancy, but a nice casual meal.

We ordered for pick up and had: - macho fries (they were pretty darkly fried but very soggy even though picked up within 15 mins -- they throw refried beans on them so not great if you really wanted carne asada style fries) - FISH tacos - YES I'd come back for these at $2.50 a piece - they were still crunchy by time I got home 5 mins later and had plenty of flavors - good price, - lengua burrito - lady never said the price but burrito was OK, just rice and lengua - steak combo plate - flavors were ok - macho burrito - they got this wrong bc we didn't want wet burrito but they did it anyways :( -- this was quite SALTY. OVERALL - if you're really hungry and need basic food, some dishes are better than others. I think it was OK to try this out but still going back to my old time favorite Mexican restaurant. Mom and pop -- especially mom is funny and has sense of humor. Indoors they have a few tables and they have TV playing soccer games too. They accept credit cards.

    Must ask for this delicious salsa to go on top of the tacos. It packs a nice little heat.
