    What a great place for late-night tacos. We weren't even planning to eat here, but I'm really glad…read morewe stumbled in. The service was friendly and made me feel right at home. I ordered the street tacos--half pastor, half asada--and they absolutely hit the spot after a long day. I crushed two tacos before I remembered to take a picture for this review... I almost gave this place 5 stars, but Austin sets a pretty high bar when it comes to tacos. Still, this spot definitely holds its own. If you're nearby and craving some tacos, swing by.

    Honestly disappointed , I usually never write reviews but this place heated me up ! First of all…read morethe cashier was the worst ! We gave her the order correctly not just one, ,not just 2 but 3 people heard that my wife wanted 4 Pastor tacos ! Order came out with different meat , it's fine people make mistakes ! We are human . BUT She goes on by saying , that is what we ordered n what we get ! And proceeds to say that she can't refund nor give us the correct tacos ! BS I go to many places and when they mess up they own up to it and proceed to fix it ! No this time she makes us pay for the tacos we apparently ordered wrong and catches attitude with my wife and making faces ! I usually understand mistakes but for someone to argue with a customer for something they got wrong is ridiculous ! We waited 20 minutes for 4 tacos ,another family comes in orders n not 15 minutes pass they get their food all out correctly ! Cokes , food in boxes , tacos all out before my 4 tacos that I supposedly ordered wrong ! Well after they happened my wife goes up and asked where is her food n why isn't it out ! She responds. They were here first, and then they have multiple orders when no one was even there. It was literally us and the family. I don't understand why she couldn't say. It will be out in a minute ! said she answered rudely. She was a touching her face, nose and around her body parts talk about hygienic ! when the tacos came out, she just slammed outside of the taco truck and they were cold. At the end we left , I got up and asked for a Togo box nicely , she was in the back cursing and twisting her face ! The young man gave me the box ! And honestly was the only one who cared and took care of us for that second then the cashier did the whole time ! She sI work in the service industry and understand taking orders can be hard but hey don't be an ass and fix the situation! I Sinceramente, estoy decepcionado. Normalmente no escribo reseñas, ¡pero este lugar me hizo enfurecer! Para empezar, la cajera fue lo peor. Le dimos el pedido correctamente; no solo una, ni dos, sino tres personas escucharon que mi esposa quería 4 tacos al pastor. El pedido salió con una carne diferente; está bien, la gente comete errores, somos humanos. PERO ella insistía en que eso era lo que habíamos pedido y que eso era lo que nos tocaba. Además, dijo que no podía reembolsarnos el dinero ni darnos los tacos correctos. ¡Qué tontería! Voy a muchos sitios y, cuando se equivocan, asumen su error y lo solucionan. Pero esta vez, ella nos hizo pagar por los tacos que supuestamente habíamos pedido mal, se puso grosera con mi esposa y empezó a hacer muecas. Normalmente entiendo los errores, ¡pero que alguien discuta con un cliente por algo en lo que ellos se equivocaron es ridículo! Esperamos 20 minutos por 4 tacos; llegó otra familia, hizo su pedido y, en menos de 15 minutos, ¡ya tenían toda su comida lista y correcta! Refrescos, comida en cajas y tacos, todo salió antes que mis 4 tacos que supuestamente había pedido mal. Después de eso, mi esposa fue a preguntar dónde estaba su comida y por qué no salía. Ella respondió: "Ellos llegaron primero" y alegó que tenían varios pedidos, cuando en realidad no había nadie más allí; éramos literalmente nosotros y la otra familia. No entiendo por qué no pudo decir simplemente: "¡Estará listo en un minuto!". Respondió de mala manera. Estaba tocándose la cara, la nariz y otras partes del cuerpo... ¡vaya higiene! Cuando por fin salieron los tacos, los tiró de golpe en la ventanilla del camión y estaban fríos. Al final nos fuimos; me levanté y pedí amablemente una caja para llevar, y ella estaba atrás maldiciendo y haciendo muecas. El joven fue quien me dio la caja; sinceramente, él fue el único al que le importó y nos atendió bien en ese momento, a diferencia de la cajera durante todo el tiempo anterior. Trabajo en el sector servicios y entiendo que tomar pedidos puede ser difícil, pero, oye, ¡no seas una imbécil y soluciona la situación!

    Delicious, talk about flavor! Located inside Chamlers window to order, then provide cell number to…read morebe notified for pickup. Got the brisket sandwich with the boozy Brussels sprouts. Order was done in about 10 minutes and pickup was easy. Service overall was great really friendly and knowledgeable for questions asked. The food was delicious. Brisket sandwich had a good mix of beef and fat, crust on the outside, BBQ sauce went well along with the onions. Bread nice and soft too. Noodle Brussels had great flavor however due to the inconsistency in size they were cooked to different softness. I preferred the smaller ones as they weren't crunchy when chewing. Personal preference. Overall great venue and the ambiance was laid back with a well kept area around the order/pickup window

    Overall: 3.2/5 [take out]…read more We came to Chalmers Bar on a Thursday night during a World Cup soccer game so it was pretty packed. Rolling Smoke BBQ is right in front of the entrance. We were planning to try one of each taco but they had already run out of the pulled pork. They wrapped each taco individually in aluminum foil to keep it warm which was a nice touch, though they didn't bring out the red and green sauces until we asked for them. Brisket Taco ($9): The brisket was a bit dry but the slice was pretty thick and it paired well with the acidity of the pickles. Carne G Taco ($6): Super cheesy and heavy. The flavors weren't bad but I felt pretty gross after eating one and it left me really bloated.

    This food truck sits nestled amongst many other such businesses. In other words, there's lots of…read morechoices in this parking lot. This business is not properly signed, and I walked around the parking lot twice until I came across it. I did decide to phone the order in since other yelpers said it takes about 20 minutes for preparation. It's best to get it to go, since the dining area is outdoors and sparse. I should mention it's a little tricky to get in and out of during rush-hour. As for the food, as others have mentioned, the portions are generous and it is cooked fresh. This is good restaurant quality food at reasonable prices. I should note, that they do not have a tofu dish or hot and sour soup. This is definitely a place that I would visit again for my Asian food craving. Photos and a video for more info.

    For starters this is located in a food truck park about midway to the right once you pull in. It…read morehas a small seating area for waiting or eating in front of the truck. It's covered with fans so you will be fine in all types of weather. I called ahead and ordered the Mongolian beef with fried rice and the chicken egg rolls. It was amazing!! The portion sizes are huge, I had enough for the next day. It was hot and fresh. Just the enough spice. They were pretty nice on the food and explained what I had questions on. Even the wait times were accurate. It was a clean area and I'll definitely be back to try more. For the price of the food, it's a good buy.
