    My gluten free dreams come true here!! I've been twice and it's so good, good quality completely gluten free food I've never had an issue and the staff is very nice. Their pastry case has incredible options all gluten free it's crazy! Definitely check them out I wish I knew about them sooner.

    Wowza, these tacos are amazing!!! I was looking for a quick bite before we hit up a bar, and these were perfect. It's about $2.75-$3 per taco bursting with flavours and quality meat. I had trouble finding it and circled the parking lot 2x. It's a ghost kitchen inside Jewels Bakery & Cafe. I love that I can directly order through Grubhub for quick pick up and prices are the same as their menu. I ordered each type of tortilla, Doritos, prickly pear and corn. The flavours of the tortilla are very subtle and I didn't notice the difference between them. It has a nice chew and holds the taco up well. I ordered one of each sauce, salsa verde is my fav. Cucumbers and limes on the house for the perfect finish. We wish we ordered more.

    I first heard about Tru Tacos through social media and decided to give them a try. I would say that their tacos are good and they come with fresh tortillas. I also love the vibes even though this pop up shares the space with Jewel's Cafe. I wasn't too impressed with the horchata but perhaps I'll try a different drink next time.

    As a lifelong Californian who has never liked Mexican food outside of California, I never thought I'd say this, but: these are the best tacos I have ever had in my entire life. Ever. I honestly could not believe how amazing they were. First and foremost, they use a HOT CHEETO TORTILLA. Are you kidding me?! The innovation is astounding, like, come on!!!!! Then, the carne asada was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and just some high quality meat. The toppings were just icing on the cake. If I'm remembering correctly, they served sliced cucumbers on the side, which, when added to the tacos just set them off! Just wow! The carne asada fries were equally delectable. They, too, had an element of my beloved snack with a hot cheeto crumble on the top. It was more than I had ever hoped for since I have been limited in the amount of Mexican restaurants I can eat after my celiac diagnosis, but it was better than any gluten-filled establishment I've been to pre-diagnosis. Since my visit, I have seen that they added a carne asada fry taco and this California girl can't help but notice how close that comes to my favorite meal of all time: a California burrito (a San Diego classic: carne asada, fries and guac stuffed into a delicious masterpiece of a burrito). If they decide to add a California burrito with a hot cheeto tortilla to the menu, fuhgeddaboudit, I am moving to Arizona and never looking back. I hope to see this place thrive so much that it becomes its own, full-time, seperate establishment, because man, what an absolute gem of a menu. You all have blown me away and over a month later, my mouth is still watering.

Every time I come here it gets more packed, which is both annoying and completely understandable because the food is ridiculously good. The tacos are fantastic, the fries are life-changing, and the hongos fries specifically deserve their own national holiday. This place made the Top 100 food spots in America list, and honestly? Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

I recommend the asada, the hazz, the Lorenza, and anything with the beans. Order at the counter, they'll call your name when your order is ready, and the seating is casual and open. They have a selection of aguas frescos, but I usually like a classic bottled coke for the perfect beverage pairing.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away. Note when leaving you'll have to go right - heading North on 43rd. The staff here were really nice! It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.
