    First time there today. Menu was nice, but was pricey. There was nobody in front of me in line, but…read moreit still took a good 15-20 minutes for my cheesesteak to be ready. The photo on the menu looked good, so I was ok with paying $9.00. It was small, and there wasn't anywhere near all that meat that the photo shows. It was tasty, but $5.50- $6.00 worth, not $9.00. Note that the menu prices on their web site are outdated and most items are $1.00 more now. For $9.00, should at least come with a side (e.g., nice portion of fries) or a beverage. Unless you have a little appetite, you'll walk away hungry. Staff wasn't engaged with customers whatsoever. No hellos, no smiles, no thank you. Their spoon box blew away in the wind, and 2 of us went after it and returned it to them, letting them know what happened. There was no expression on his face and no thank you. You're welcome! Suggest they get a box for customers to stand on to place their orders, because everyone was standing on their toes trying to get high enough to place their orders. Has great potential; just needs a little TLC on the menu/prices and customer service. I wonder if Gordon Ramsey is available! :) This review is my personal opinion. They have many 5 star reviews on their Facebook page, so try it for yourself and see what you think! :)

    We tried out this food truck a few weeks ago, just before the Christmas craziness. It was a solid…read more3.5/5 for me. The truck is parked seemingly permanently off to the side of a Mobil gas station, just a little bit further into Madison past the Trash Pandas Stadium. They offer the option to order online. The menu is fairly large and they do have specials from time to time. The young woman who took my order was polite and personable and I observed her fluently switch from English to Spanish and vice versa depending on customer need. They were doing a pretty solid business. A small vibrating device was passed out to each customer, which would vibrate and ring when the food was ready. I'm pretty sure this is the only truck in the area that offers tlayudas, which is a dish created and primarily prepared in Oaxaca. Here, it's a very large, charred tortilla covered in toppings including beans, veggies, and a protein of choice. I ordered one with chicken so I could try it; I got a burrito with al pastor for my husband. They were serving champurrado as well, and I couldn't resist a cup of that. My food and drink all came out at once and I carted it home to eat. The champurrado was too hot to drink for a while anyway, and the food held up pretty well. When I did get around to drinking, it was thick, not too sweet, and creamy. I think other places I've tried it are actually calling hot chocolate with cinnamon champurrado, but I think this was the real deal, with a heavy masa harina base. I enjoyed it. Husband's burrito was large and quite tasty. The rice inside was cooked nicely. My tlayuda was also pretty good, and huge - lots to eat. The sear on the tortilla added an interesting flavor, with the tortilla itself being alternately crispy and chewy, and the fresh charred jalapeño on top added good heat and flavor. The veggie toppings, especially the beans, were fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, I really didn't like the chicken; it was chopped in small bits and really didn't have much flavor or seasoning. The rubbery texture made it worse. I would order a tlayuda again, but would definitely change up the protein. Husband's al pastor was a better choice. Overall, it's definitely worth it to try this truck to sample some harder-to-find fare in the area.

    We've tried a barbacoa and chicken tacos, tamales, quesadillas and side of beans. Everything was…read moregood but I prefer the barbacoa to the chicken. You get 4 small tacos for $8. The tacos are small with 2 corn tortillas each, topped with onion and cilantro. Come was a red sauce, lime wedges, a pepper and a couple of cucumber slices on the side. The beans are puréed, very smooth, and topped with cheese. The tamales come with a green sauce. They are pretty spicy, there are chunks of jalapeños in them.

    We have been on a quest to find the best quesabirria tacos in town. I read about this food truck…read morehaving great quesabirria tacos so I decided to find out for myself. The food truck has a nice Facebook page where you can find their weekly schedule. This is very convenient for finding the food truck. It was parked in front of Washlab on University drive. It is brightly colored and hard to miss :) The health department gave them 100 for their last inspection. Excellent score!!! I ordered a combo with 3 quesabirria tacos, a side of potatoes and guacamole with chips and a drink. It was a 7 minute wait to get my food and I was surprised as it was delivered to me. My tacos were filled with soft delicious beef and a container of consommé. Wow! These tacos were loaded with meat and very tasty. The consommé was not too salty nor too greasy. The guacamole was about 2 tablespoons worth with about 8 chips. It was good. The diced red potatoes were so delicious. They were excellent. My combo scores 5/5. From a meat to taco shell perspective, this food truck was 3rd and second in taste. The quesabirria tacos they sell are extremely tasty and I will return to buy more. I saw several things on the menu I want to try. It is impressive they score a 100 health department inspection. If you like tacos, please try the quesabirria tacos. The flavor is different from a taco or street taco. They are several notches up in taste and flavor in my humble opinion. Please stop by and give this locally owned business your attention. They have great food.

One day last week I saw they'd be stationed at Northrop Grumman while I was working nearby, so I made plans to go grab a meal. They were fairly busy with a bunch of NG employees, but I came towards the end of service and they were still working efficiently. My wait wasn't bad. The menu is fairly large for a food truck and has classic Thai offerings, from curry to Thai basil plates to noodle dishes like pad see ewe and drunken noodles. You can choose your protein for practically any dish: chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp for an upcharge. They even have fancier, more traditional drinks like Thai coffee and green tea. It's an impressive setup for a food truck. I initially asked for an order of red curry, but the lady working the window said they only had green curry that day. I'm not sure if they only run one curry at a time, or if they'd just run out of everything but green. Next, I asked for pad see ewe, but they had run out of noodles. That was a little disappointing, though perhaps it's on me for coming later during service. I ultimately wound up with Thai basil with chicken. It came served with white rice. I also ordered some mango sticky rice for dessert since the season is basically on us for mango! I got a diet soda to drink -- as much as I love Thai tea, I didn't want to gild the lily TOO much. My food came out quickly and was packaged beautifully and very neatly. It was clearly made fresh as it was also very warm! I returned to my car to nosh covertly before returning to work. The Thai basil was good -- it's not my go-to Thai dish, but it was a good bit better than a version I had not long ago at a different restaurant. Pleasantly aromatic, veggies were still crispy, most of the chicken was a good, non-rubbery texture. It went well with the delicate white rice. I forgot to ask for at least a level 2 spicy, which is the one thing I'd change about it -- as it was served to me, it was very mild, and I wanted some kick. I wish someone would've prompted me about spice level when I ordered, but it's ultimately on me. The mango sticky rice was a delicious treat as always. This version was served with a purple-y colored rice rather than white. It didn't taste much different to me but the color was pretty. My mango still had a few slightly sour bites but it was mostly great, and that's not their fault anyway. The rice itself was still warm and delightfully, subtly sweet. I'd definitely patronize this truck again. Would love to try a curry or a noodle dish someday in the future, though I enjoyed my meal enough that I'd also order it again!

I was greeted fairly quickly when I entered and guided to a seat with a menu and silverware. A few minutes later, the server (was bilingual) came out and asked for what I wanted. I received my salsa and chips at this time. The salsa was pretty watery and lacked spice or much flavor. It was nothing special, and chips seemed like they were made a long time ago. Looking at the menu, it seemed like a typical Mexican restaurant though I was a little disappointed that the street tacos didn't have many options. I was a little inclined to think after looking at the menu that it was more Tex Mex. They did seem to have a nice deal for aguas frescas with two glasses for under $3. That's pretty unheard of here in HSV. I ended up ordering 3 pastor tacos. I received food fairly quickly. The street tacos have a large amount of cilantro and raw onions, but not as much meat as I had hoped for. The red sauce served on the side wasn't very spicy and had more of a smokiness. Not sure I had the experience I wanted. I had to wait a bit after finishing my food to get my check or even see the waiter. If I come back, I'll try the aguas frescas.
