With my daughter's…read moreschool having an open house event, they set up a few food trucks to be on site to feed the hungry crowds. There was a total of 2 food trucks and 1 dessert, leading to long long lines. The staff handled the lines well and food was being dished out as fast as possible. Purchases: *ASADA TACO *LENGUA TACO *PASTOR TACO *Strawberry Lemonade(???) Drink The tacos were good. So good I made my way back into the line and purchased a few more asadas!! The meat vs tortilla ratio was great, although lengua was a little skimp. Meats were tender and cooked well. The salsa portions are small and I would have enjoyed more instead of having to ration my portions but it was still good. 4 stars for my first try with Joe's Taco Shop. Plating was good even in the hectic environment and I really enjoys the grilled onions. Cucumbers- not so much [I thought that was kind of random]. I would absolutely dine here again.

quiero um MAS TACOS!!! uhh muy bien...mamacita??? forgive my spanish i quite like these tacos they…read moreare consistently great and nice. not bad pricing and generous portions! parking is difficult to find since its in an auto shop so you can smell the wonderful meats along with a subtle strand of wd40. yum! i snort transmission oil like a rabid dog service is quick and nice. they have a big menu but i just tried their tacos. they come with lemons instead of limes WOW what a crime but in this era of inflation i get it. carnitas are pretty good! a tad oily but the natural flavor is good and tender 8/10 tripa is tender, not as crispy as i'd hoped but good flavor 8/10 i like the onions on top and all the salsas which are tangy. they aren't too spicy at least for my taste. WELL it's up to your own judgement; refer to my transmission oil inhaling and decide for yourself how spicy is their spicy. overall muy bien te amo tacos los tres reyes

Firstly, be very careful when you enter this location, the turn is very small and kind of hidden. I…read morewent with some family and everyone missed the turn on right and had to U turn and try again just FYI Depending on when you go parking can be difficult, if it is packed I would recommend parking the street over and walking. Most of the food is prepared in a food truck where you line up and order. Seating is next to the sauce bar and they have first come first serve seating. Typical culture is to put the sauce directly on the tacos when you receive them. They give sauce cups if you order to go otherwise they are reluctant to give them out. Currently they are constructing a building around their seating area which is new. This implies that they are generating enough cash to turn their food truck and seating area into an actual establishment. Onto the food review! Carne Asada 7/10 Lengua 7.5/10 Carnitas 8/10 Cabeza 8.3 /10 Suadero 8.5/10 Al Pastor 8.5/10 Suadero and Pastor were top contenders with the most flavor depth. Personally I liked the cabeza as it was very soft, but the flavor can't compare to the suadero. The carne asada lacked flavor in my opinion and was the least tasty out of the meats we tried. Carnitas had that great crunch you're looking for in a taco as it is seared excellently. Lengua was flavorful and super soft just like the cabeza which indicates that they were both braised to perfection. All choices are very solid albeit be prepared for a very greasy meal. The star of the show is their avocado salsa! They offered 6 other sauces in their sauce bar but the avocado salsa was superb compared to the others. This was the only option that had me coming back to sauce bar throughout my meal. They also offered pickled carrots, jalapeños, and onions at their sauce bar to help balance the flavors. Finally the best JD big back tip is to get the large strawberry horchata! It was so good we finished ours before even taking a picture of it! The flavor profile on that beverage is superb, imagine a creamy strawberry yakult that is the perfect option to balance greasy tacos. This is a hidden gem item as their strawberry horchata is significantly better than other restaurants version of it. They also offer other flavored horchata but the strawberry remains top tier.

Finally stopped by Tacos Tres Reyes and grabbed 1 al pastor taco and 1 asada burrito with…read moreeverything on it to go. I love how packed with meats the burritos and tacos were! I'm not sure if I completely missed it, but I couldn't find the salsa bar that so many other reviews mention. I checked both the indoor seating area and around the food truck itself, so maybe I was just blind that day. The sauces themselves were honestly really good though, maybe even a little too good because I feel like I drowned out a lot of the actual meat flavor in both the taco and burrito. The orange sauce has a really nice spicy kick that I enjoyed a lot, and the green sauce tasted super fresh and flavorful. They also gave extra grilled onions on the side, which seriously elevated the whole meal for me. Service was pretty quick and everything came out hot and fresh, which I appreciated. I did have a little bit of difficulty communicating with the cashier since there was a slight language barrier and my Spanish is pretty limited, but we still managed to get everything sorted out without too much trouble! I would definitely come again another day for lunch!

Good place to sit down and talk Tostada mixta $10 (3/5): This ceviche was HUGE. This contains 70% imitation crab, 10% shrimp, 10% octopus, 10% vegeatables, and 2 tostadas. Having this much imitation crab was not my jam, it overpowered the actual fresh seafood. Definitely filling by itself, but I personally would rather order the shrimp and octopus ceviche next time. Burrito $10 (4/5): Not your typical big fat burrito with a bunch of stuff inside. It's a little bit creamy but not saucy. The salsa on the side enhances it. Fish tacos $3.50 (4/5): Solid fish tacos, huge portions as well. 2 of these would be filling for me.

Wasn't that dry but it was just flavorless. I went here with my sister but I may try something else from their menu next time I come to visit in town.

I'm a sucker for a good homemade tortilla and these are GOOD. But more than that the selection of meats are tasty. The chicken was the weakest of them, but even that was good. It's just the al pastor was GREAT and the carne asada oh so tasty. SERVICE: Terrific. Packaged well, service is friendly and helpful, portions are nicely sized, and you will definitely go home happy.
