The tacos were really good, tried the trompo and the bistek. Also had a campechana (trompo with bistek and Oaxaca cheese) which was delicious too. One thing I will recommend to the owner is to make sure that the grilled onions stay warm, mine were cold.

We stayed in the medical district but really wanted some authentic Tacos. After some research we decided to take the 30 minute drive to give it a shot. I got 2 gringas Trompo y bistec he got an order of tacos the same. My Bf has been in the US for 20yrs, he said it’s the best taco he’s ever had outside of Tijuana/ San Diego. The trompo was delicious and tender exactly as it should be. We’re sad we head home tomorrow and won’t be able to enjoy it again. The sitting area was clean and cute, the service was fast and friendly. Job well done guys!!

Okay this location does deserve 5 stars I must say. The food is delicious and the service was great. The food had a lot of meat and the taste of it was delicious. The green salsa and trompo were a good combination and the loaded fries with bistec & trompo mixed with cheese was delicious as well. This location does have a spot designated for you to sit and eat. The gentleman who took our order was cool and respectful and was able to give us a breakdown of the food question we had. The young teenager who brought our food was nice and respectful as well. They both checked up on us multiple times and asked if everything was good and if we needed anything. Even though this is a Taco Truck it felt kinda like a dine in restaurant. We will be back again if we are in the area craving tacos de trompo .

Food was so delicious! Both the pork tacos and the beef tacos were delicious! Loved the tostada! And I think my dad would’ve drank a bottle of the salsa verde! So good!

Ordered the bistec tacos, campechana, and trompo burger: they each had their distinctive taste. The trompo burger was so cheesy and tasted great. The fries were well seasoned and complemented the burger to perfection. The salsas enhanced the tacos. I have to point out that the meat was really well cooked, not dry or full of fat. They are not stingy with the amount of meat served. The pistolero that served us was really friendly and he even took the food to our car. Definitely coming back!

I’m a really picky eater and believe me this place is so good. The meant and everything is fresh, the corn tortillas are bomb! I don’t know if the flour tortillas are homemade but they are so delicious I would definitely drive 30 min just to eat that

I’d like to say the tacos are good but the combination of the price point and the slivers of meat on each one doesn’t make it worth it.
