    Oooooh I'm SO happy we came across this taco truck after a serious craving for tacos (who am I kidding? I always want tacos...) hit hard on a Sunday. Sadly, my favorites are closed on Sundays and we were bummed out. After deciding bueno would have to do the trick, I remembered my parents saying something about this truck on Alameda and we drove over and YES it's open! And until 10pm!! The truck is in the Popeye's parking lot. The open sign was visibly from the street which was awesome. The menu is straightforward and no frills. Wanting to try some of each we got a couple of carne asada, carnitas, and al pastor tacos. We also got a carne asada torta. The torta was the best torta I've had in awhile, the bread was PERFECT and a lot of places don't do it right but it was the best grilled soft sandwich ever. It needed avocado IMO but so does everything The tacos were all great, I think my favorite was the asada. I was bummed out after realizing they had barbacoa (cabeza) but I didn't notice it on the list. The pickled onions and carrots were good and the grilled jalapeños (maybe serranos) were HOT and delicious! Another plus was they were cheaper than my favorite place down the street, only 1.25 per taco. I'm glad to know there's a good option on Sunday's so I can get my taco fix!!

    A taco truck with the best carne asada street tacos in town! Can't beat $1.25 each! They also let you call in order ahead and pickup. Quick and easy lunch or dinner on the go!

    I noticed this taco truck parked at the Popeyes convenient store and had to stop and try because I have a weakness for taco trucks. They have a colorful picture menu to choose from. Tacos are $1.25 each which I think thats a great price for street tacos. Thats .50 cheaper than La Sombra taco truck. I got the taco plate which comes with 3 tacos of your choice and rice and beans. I got 2 asada and 1 cabeza, which is barbacoa. The tacos were a little smaller but double tortilla. They could have put a little more onions and cilantro but they were still tasty. They included some pickled carrot, grilled onions and jalapenos and a lime wedge. The rice was ok, the beans were excellent. I think for $5 that was a great deal and will definitely be back to try the other options. The lady in the truck did tell me that they will be parked there a while and they are open everyday until 10pm.

    Used to be great, but todays order was terrible. The torta had a sprinkle of lettuce and almost no meat. Will not be back.

    So so yummy. Everything we've had is great. The beans, rice, and green salsa are from heaven or something. Cheap and delicious.

    Part 8 - After watching Good Mythical Morning (GMM) with Rhett and Link as they did a blind taste…read moretest of chicken tenders. The tender taste test quest continues! Today I ordered the number 1 4pc Express Tenders for $7.39, which comes with fries, biscuit, and gravy. Let's talk about them tenders! Tenders: Moistness - 10 Seasoning - 9 Crunch - 11* Overall - 10 The crunch was out of this world! Two tenders were slightly under seasoned but the other two were perfect, so I had to dock a point for that but based on the two that were seasoned - they were seasoned perfectly and the gravy only enhanced the flavors. The tips of the tenders had a nice light crispy golden coating that has put everyone to shame. They were hot and juicy and delicious. I'm in tender heaven! The crunch was on a different level. They broke my scale and I'm totally okay with that. The fries were light and crispy and tasted like mashed potatoes when you dipped them in gravy. It was so awesome. Perfectly seasoned. The biscuit was a bonus (you basically get an order of biscuits and gravy with your chicken) and it was dang good. Light, buttery, fluffy, crispy crusty, and not dry at all. The gravy was great! Not floury, not uncooked milky but seasoned well balanced between pepper and salt and perfect for the tenders This place should be packed if they can keep it consistently good like this and I hope they do because I will be back!

    My order was not right and the gizzards were not cooked still bloody in the service was just poor…read more Nobody wanted to talk to you. Everyone blame it on you. Sorry this place I've ever been.

    Chicken Express - Grease all over the wrapper of the fries and the whole inside of the box.  Like they just poured grease on every thing.

    I have been coming here for the pasy 10 years. The gyros are.eccellent, feies are.ok…read more They dont salt them after the are.feied and so by.the time you get them, the salt does.not.stay on the feies nor do they melt, seasoning the fries. Fries are crispy but not big on taste. My husband and I came. I n today, after a pr e ttu break for the past 6 months. We ordered 2 Gyros, 2 fries and 2 drinks. It came up to $35 and a big chu b k of change; might as well say it was $36.00! I was floored! Last time I came, the gyros were $7. and change They are now $10.64!! A piece!! Yes, there is a lot of goodness there but that was a HUGE jump! I certainly didn't dient have enough cash to pay for it all. I had to use the ATM that j7st happens t9 be 8n this small restaurant. $2.95 for the privilege of ask8ng to get money out of my bank. So now, my lunch cost us $40! They did mess up my last order and he was very apologetic.and.said he would put my name down and not charge me for a gyro sandwich on the.next order. During thos visit, I explained who I was and relayed the story.of the.prom8sed.uncharged.gyro b he promis3d me. He just smiled at me, nodded his head and.rang me up. Did not look for my name or ask.any questions. I guess my break from ordering any outside foods took me out of a gyro sandwich promised me by the owner to make ip for.a past mess up on the last order. Noy ever again. I felt cheated and felt taken advantage of. Yes, I could h a ve and.probably should have walked out, but I didn't. That is on me, I know. But, I do have an excuse for.that. My husband is a diabetic and we just were coming back from visiting.my mom and doing a lot of.Sonny-do's and he needed to eat, quickly. So we stayed. My husband stated this would b we our last visit here and I whole-heartedly agreed. We loved this place and the food. I think everyone has a linit and Greek House reached mine. I took the number out of.my phone book and will start going to M9nty's. It is closer anyway and is very good too. Noylt agai
