" I was a bit skeptical about trying out another taco truck, but this one exceeded my expectations! While the setting is nothing fancy, the taste of the asada tacos took me back home. It reminded me of the street vendors in Guadalajara. Only downside was finding parking, but worth it for sure. Highly recommend adding their green salsa! " (*Curated Review*)
