“ WOW! These small tacos are absolutely amazing. My fiance and I were craving authentic street tacos and couldn't decide where to go. We'd seen a few reviews for this taco truck but we were aiming to eat in a restaurant. I missed a turn and we ended up pulling up right by the truck to turn around. It was fate. I'm SO glad I missed my exit because we ordered 3 tacos each and then loved them so much we ordered two more. He got 3 pastor tacos and I had steak, pastor, and beef (and then campechano for my 4th). They were flavored perfectly, with the right amount of cilantro and lime (and a delicious green sauce). They were definitely popular that night, as there were a few big crowds that pulled up to order, but they were fast and efficient and friendly. There's a few tables outside of the truck, perfect for enjoying your meal in the warm evening air. Don't miss out on these authentic street tacos that are good enough to eat a second and third batch! ”
“ Wow... I can't believe it took me so long to try this place! The food was absolutely fantastic! Nopales dish had so much flavor and was so delicious! I had an al pastor taco and a barbacoa taco as well and they did not disappoint. The roja and verde sauces tasted very good, roja was very spicy which I liked a lot. If you haven't been here, it's a must try. Little taco truck at the corner of Waters and Dale Mabry near the bank. ”
“ Food is excellent , fresh, generous, authentic, and husband and wife team are friendly. Most preferred place to go ”
“ This tiny food truck is serving up delicious, inexpensive, AUTHENTIC tacos that are on par with the street tacos you'd find in Los Angeles. My extremely tasty bean taco was only 1.75 and so good I rounded it up to 3 (to include a well deserved tip!). ”
“ I always try to come when I'm in this side of tampa, by far the best Mexican food I had, the only other Mexican food I eat outside my house. ”
“ This place has good food but he's ripping everyone off. Look at your receipts. It doesn't Say anywhere on his menu some meats are a 1 more. I added up my bill and he charged me a 1 more even with the more expensive meats. He is stealing from everyone and changing the amounts. I added it up with the extra charge and he charged me 1 more. The receipt was completely added up wrong. I confronted him. Look at your receipts ”
“ Excellent taqueria truck. I’ve eaten here several times now and always consistent and delicious. It’s difficult to find at first and it’s located in the Advance Auto parking lot on Dale Mabry. ”
“ These tacos are on point. Simple and good. The tostada doesn’t actually break apart when you bite it. That’s how you know it is a real tostada. They fry the tortilla for the tostada instead of buying them already done. ”
