ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I had to go back and give them an extra tip after eating. Reminds me of tacos back home in Mexico. Not cheap but WORTH the quality and convenience. Worth at least a try. You will love them. I’m gonna follow & track their location now lol.

I really appreciate the owners of this food truck; their warmth and kindness truly shine through. It’s clear that they care about their customers, which makes the whole experience special. The food itself is exceptional—I’ve never encountered any issues. I ordered two chicken empanadas, and they were absolutely delicious. I felt like I could have run back to the food truck for more!

SO GOODDDD!!! my first time i will be back! as a mexican it’s hard to find a place with authentic tacos but this place is so good! i love the salsa! i had five tacos de asada and one quesobirria; it is a little pricy but i think it’s worth it cause it fills you up if you’re hungry!😊

I felt like I was in my country, very rich flavor, consistency of flavors and freshness in the seafood makes me want to return, very delicious.

I was there last Thursday and the food was absolutely amazing. I started with the birria tacos as an appetizer — the birria itself blew my mind. You can always tell when food is made with passion, and I’m pretty sure the chef pours their heart into every dish, because the flavor speaks for itself. Then I had the Mojarra en Salsa (first time trying it), which comes with a fresh salad. It was incredible — the sauce or the way the fish was marinated was just stunning. The mix of flavors takes you straight to Mexico. After that, I tried the Fritura Marina, which is a platter of fried seafood — OMG, sooo fresh. The location is super convenient, just 7 minutes away from Uptown. Service was excellent — you can tell they genuinely care about their customers and want everyone to have a great experience. Absolutely recommended. 200/10 🐙
