Feb 08, 2026"This is a Taco truck alongside of Broadway st. They usually always have a long waiting line to order food the wait can be up to a hr. But the food is delicious for it coming from a taco truck. I keep their number in my phone and call and order before showing up to pick up my order."
Yunior Lucero
Jan 27, 2026"It's good and it's really cheap compared to 90% of Houston taco trucks. The beans are the best for me, they are so delicious. Each order comes with a side of beans, toppings, and grilled onions. Tacos are less than $2 a piece. You can't beat that."

Jan 03, 2026"Man. All the negative reviews about the staff being rude are wrong. They may come off as short and abrupt but thats only when they are super busy. Which if you have common sense you would understand that the stress is not towards the customer. I’ve gone there when they are slow and busy and the service is great. The food is delicious. Los tacos los hacen bien ricos. Y hasta te dan un tazita de frijoles charros que saben buenisimos. I honestly prefer this taco truck over any restaurant. Nothing but great food and a sweet spot to hang out with the gang and eat some amazing food. Wait time may be long when they are BUSY. They are not in the back of the kitchen on their phones. You can see them working, if not, then you need to get yourself checked out. Also, to the one review that calls us Latinx. Callate, eres verguenza para los Latinos."
