    a pizza on a paper plate

    Rude rude staff. The lady at the counter really needs to work on her customer service skills. We were curious about the salmon crunch thing and wanted to try Salmon while in Alaska and had a question about it while putting in the order and to our surprise, the lady yelled with an uncalled for rude response which didn't help answer our question. Food arrived fast but the portion was small for the price. There are plenty of other food trucks in Talkeetna that will make you feel welcome, stay away from this one.

    So good we came back for more in the same meal! That Smoked Salmon Cheese Crunch is brilliant. A melted/fried cheese skirt instead of a tortilla, topped with smokey salmon, green onions, cilantro, and a jalapeno sweet cream sauce. WE GOT TWO. We also raved about the light and crispy Halibut tacos and the smoked salmon quesadilla. I might go back to Talkeetna some day just to eat here. You must go!

    Cash Only Food is very delicious, made fresh for the order. The waiting time is reasonable - about 5 minutes for us. Taste wise it is on the sweet side with a hint of spicy. Love this little food truck. I took a star off because of the portion, which some other reviews also mentioned.

    Got the Halibut tacos. Two Street size for $18. Pricey I think, but freshly prepared and cooked well. They were actually cutting the halibut as we placed our order. It was lightly breaded and pan fried. Served nice and warm, with toppings. Had a little kick to it!

    Smoked Salmon Cheese Crunch! Amazing! In the back is the halibut quesadilla, also really good.

    This is the best food I've had in Alaska! We've visited Anchorage and Denali, and nothing beats these tacos and quesadillas. The smoked salmon cheese crunch is really unique and delicious. The halibut quesadilla was packed with fish, and it definitely wasn't cheap tilapia. It was great to finally taste some good fish up here. I also recommend the asada taco, but I bet any type would be great. There was a man playing ukulele, and he was very talented and also cracked jokes with the people cooking the food. It was like lunch with a show! So happy I have pictures to remember this good meal!

    Got the salmon quesadilla and it blew me away. About 12 bucks and probably the best deal (tacos were pretty small for the price). Highly recommend. Actually, so good I forgot to take a picture until after I ate it.

    I had the smoked salmon cheese crunch. That thing was delicious. Guys were cool that ran it. Clean fast service hot food on a cold day, what more could you ask for. Definitely stop there and grab some food, you will be glad you did.

    We rolled into town and we're starving and all restaurants were finished serving. To our surprise and great fortune, Talkeetna Tako was still open. We had the pork tacos and salmon quesadilla. Both were exceptionally tasty and a lot of food. If you're hungry- the quesadilla is the way to go. Very filling and a generous portion and delicious! The woman that took our order made our food and delivered it to our table which is unusual for a food "truck". She's great and if this is her place, we wish her all the best!! Thank you for being open so late and service with a smile

    This is a really nice place for taco. We had fish tacos and their special cheese pizza. The place is a little pricey but it's a touristy destination and most of the food joints around here were pricey. Nice friendly people. Quick service. Tasty food.

    Fast, tasty, Alaskan tacos with an extra dash of spice. Owner John sat down with us and chatted for a while about how he ended up in Talkeetna. We enjoyed his story, while wolfing down the meal. Yes, it will seem expensive if you don't live in Alaska ---things cost more here--but how nice to get high-quality food that comes out quickly when you're hungry.

    The halibut was good. The special sauce had great flavor a little on the spicy side. The beef quesadilla was plentiful and seemed like eating a cheeseburger. The meat was pretty salty tasting. They have no take out boxes.

    We stopped at this taco stand across from the train station. We had the beef taco. It was huge and full to the brim. Totally recommend.

    Halibut taco was ok, very small amount of fish and they added sugar to the salsa(?). Not worth 2 for $18.

    CASH ONLY! All things being relevant this place is a surprise for its location. I had the daily…read morespecial which today (Monday) was the Bahn Mi pork sandwich. A surprise of soft French bread was still delicious but not your traditional crispy bread. I think I actually preferred the bread here as it held the flavors well and made eating it less of a mess. The mint was a nice touch along with the traditional cucumber and daikon but I was missing some of the heat of there jalapeños normally included. If this had been I. A larger market like Denver, LA, Chicago ,etc... I would have given it 4 stars. Governed are 100 miles north of Anchorage with not many choices I gave it five stars because who could have expected a Bahn mi worth eating for $17 in this location. Again price being relatively reasonable for this area options so it's pretty good for the price For dessert I had the Blueberry Rhubarb crisp. Tasty and $7 was fine for this location. Service was friendly but took about 12-15 minutes for the sandwich, the dessert they gave us right away. Remember to bring cash as that is the only option they offer for payment!

    Stopped here after reading all the reviews about it being a must-do while in Talkeetna. It's super…read morecute, being served out of a chrome airstream. We ordered and sat at a table, with the bread being ready in 5 minutes. For what you get, it's pricey. But the bread itself is great - as others have said, it's cheesy, garlicky, spinachy, and puffy. YUM.
