    Ordered some shrimp empanadas and the Tostada Caliente. I wasn't prepared for the journey my tongue was about to embark on upon taking a bite into that empanada. The empanada was so good that it made me forgive everyone that's ever wronged me. The tostada caliente was so flavorful, I wasn't even prepared for it. I gave some to my neighbor, we've been fighting for years. But after sharing some of this food with him, we're now pals. We're supposed to grill next Saturday. All jokes aside, food is great, customer service is excellent. And I highly recommend.

    What a place to try, from humble family to your table, quality and freshness to a 100%. It a must try after checking all the business around them, I tried the aguachile green and black portion is fair for the price.

    Monday 1-11-21 6:30pm This was my second time here but first review and i got Tostada de Ceviche de Pescado. I have previously tried the Camaron ceviche also and they are both delicious. This time i also got a Taco Gobernador and it was nice and fresh with a exquisite flavor. I drank a Agua mineral preparada which they prepare it for you with lime and a pinch of salt. So my pescado ceviche , taco gonernador & agua mineral preparada was $13.50 Im sorry didnt take pic of fish tostada but it was a good amount for the price. They even offer you extra tostadas if you need them and their green salsa is good. Well hope you guys try them out they are good. God bless you

    Love it here. This food truck does not disappoint. I've been here twice and the food is great. 1st try was the aguachiles negros - the salsa they use is just super tasty and this is one of our favorites. We've also gotten the empanadas de camaron each time, which seem a bit pricey for a dozen, but they're totally worth it. 2nd time we got the aguachiles rojos, which were also really good. The only critique we have is that they cut the cucumber a bit too bit for the aguachiles, but that doesn't take away from the flavor profile they've developed. Highly recommend it here, as the staff is super friendly and the service is great. They also accept credit cards, so don't worry about needing to bring all cash - just expect to spend about $50 if you're ordering for 2 people.

    First time here and it was a good experience. The food was a 10/10, we got the empanadas de camarón, botana de callo, botana pueblo culichi, and lemonade. We loved the empanadas de camarón, super delicious 11/10. The staff is very welcoming and nice as well. We received a ceviche on the house to try, loved that. I would definitely go back again. The food truck was also pink and cute
