But make sure to stop by here because the food is really good. I ordered the carne taco, pastor taco, and a squash papusa (similar to a stuffed pancake). I really enjoyed the papusa. It came with a salsa cole slaw but I thought the papusa was very good on its own. The pastor taco was a little on the salty side but the carne taco was very flavorful and the meat was tender. I'd definitely check this place out again, especially for the papusa.

The cemitas are packed with food. I recommend the milanesa one!! Their tacos are made of homemade tortillas. You only need one because they are ENORMOUS. Very few Mexican places have good horchata or aguas frescas because they are usually watered down with all the ice. I recommend the agua de melón and agua de horchata. This is all good quality food. They have other traditional dishes from Puebla. Everything is fresh, delicious, and with generous portions. The customer service is phenomenal. They treat you very well! They are approachable, friendly, and patient. It was my first time there and I had a lot of questions. They kindly answered them. They also have a great system. They have speakers and call out your name when your food is ready that way you don't have to stand outside waiting, you can just wait in your car. We showed up at 10:45pm and they still had tons of people ordering food. When you see a lot of people ordering, it's a good sign. I also love supporting this business because they started from the bottom. They used to only cater and sometimes sell at the bailes. They worked so hard to make this food truck a reality. They also support local non profits. They always give back to the community. Support local!

Good stuff! This…read moretruck has been parked at the Glacier Properties office in Clive for the past few days. I live right down the street...two blocks or so. I wasn't sure if they took cards or not...and I haven't made it to an ATM lately so I've hesitated to stop by. But tonight was the night...! It was a brisk night, it had been windy, and was spitting snow earlier. After a quick trip (Kwik Star actually) to an ATM I whipped into the parking lot and headed to the window. I was greeted right away as I walked up. They do take cards. There was a payanywhere station on the counter. The menu is posted on the truck along with their prices. I ordered three quesa birria tacos and a barbacoa torta. Paid and tipped. They handed me a pager so I could wait for the food where it was a little warmer. That was much appreciated. It was a really short wait...I didn't even get halfway through the YouTube video I'd queued up. Lol Staff was friendly and the food was packaged well. After the short drive home I unpacked my food on the coffee table. The smell in the car was almost unbearable... It's a wonder I made it home before breaking into it. The food was fresh and hot. It came with the expected things on the side. A red hot sauce, onions, peppers, and limes. The beef in both the birria and barbacoa tasted great. The tacos were also topped with onions and cilantro. The torta with onions, cilantro, and avocado. I really enjoyed the roll the torta came on. A little hard and crunchy on the outside to hold things together and soft on the inside. It would almost be perfect for a proper cheesesteak...if you know you know. Unlike some other trucks these guys don't skimp on the meat. It could be dangerous having a truck with birria this close to home. Something the other two trucks nearby lack... With all transparency they're not my absolute favorite quesa birria tacos... They don't serve the side of consume for dipping. But they are good! And I don't need to burn through the gas to drive over to Flame or track down Nina's or Taqueria Marissa. I'm glad I stopped. Hopefully others will give them some business too. I'll definitely be a return customer and will be checking out more of their menu! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553402785567&mibextid=LQQJ4d

We ordered two pastor tacos. The meat was tender and flavorful. Although the pork was covered in red sauce, it was not very spicy at all (and I usually am sensitive to spicy food). The workers here were friendly and the food was prepared quickly. Their menu is quite extensive and prices seemed reasonable. The place loses a star because they did not have any salsas already prepackaged for carry out orders. Their salsa selection was in front of the counter where you order, in an open dish, which I thought was quite unsanitary since anyone could sneeze into it or bugs could crawl into it.

Well I drove by the truck on the way home. We have talked about going for a long time. I walk in the door and whispered the magic word, "tacos?" The next thing I know we are walking right down the block. I love a home cooked meal and this is exactly what you're getting. I have recently come to enjoy Chimichanga. I ordered mine -without beans- and a coke. My partner in adventures ordered a burrito. His burrito was huge. ;) We ate like kings for $14.00. My Chimichanga came out piping hot. Everything was rolled together and was with delicious tasting meat. It was not smothered in cheese, it was more like a garnish which was great cause then i don't only taste cheese. His burrito was stuffed full of all its glory and came with a couple chips. We sat in the setting sun under the tent and gorged ourselves on what we feel was as authentic homemade Mexican meal. We thanked the cook and praised him on the food and tipped him generously. He was out there in the heat of a food truck and sun and making delicious food for who knows how many or how little of a crowd each time. We are going back,
