I've only tried a few taco trucks around town, but this truck is so good that I can't see anyone topping them. The portions are great, I've gotten 3 tacos and felt cheated at some places but 3 tacos here will fill me up. The tortas and quesadillas will stuff you, and at $7 that's a pretty good bang for the buck. The service is great and it's always a plus when you feel like they acknowledge you as regular- I don't order here as much as I used to (changed jobs and live slightly further away now), and they seem genuinely glad to see me pop up. There are several taco trucks closer to me at lunchtime but this truck set the bar so high that I don't feel like risking spending my money elsewhere just to be disappointed.

I've eaten here just about every time I go to Sam's in the past 3 years - and let me tell you, everything on the menu is utterly phenomenal! I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend the steak torta- one of my absolute favorite foods in any restaurant, period. A word of warning to those who are spice sensitive: the green sauce that comes with your meal is the hot one, the red one's just delicious flavor.

I stopped by this place when I took my car for the regular oil change and servicing to Subaru. It’s a taco truck and they sell a lot of other Mexican delicacies too. The taco was good. I ordered a steak, an asada, and a chorizo taco, and I paid 7.5$. It was the weekend and the place was not much crowded. The service was fast and the food was served hot and fresh. The taco was tasty and spicy, although the salsa was just fine. The biggest problem is that IT’S A CASH ONLY place!
