   Read moreHands down, BEST TACO SPOT IN EAST BAY. Where do I even begin? Ok the taste: amazing. Very flavorful. Even the tortilla by itself packs lots of flavor. The meat selection: 💯. I finally, finally found a delicious tripa taco!! Woohooo! A little soft, a little crunchy, a whole lotta perfect. The carnitas are muah chef’s kiss as are the birria tacos. You can also order a quesadilla, get it with birria, add the consome and bam. Meal! They also have lengua, cabeza, asada, al pastor and veggie, which are quite tasty. They do NOT skimp on the meat, toppings, salsa, or the little jalapeños and carrots they give you in little baggies. The prices? Phenomenal. $2.5-$3 for tacos, $10 for a huge torta or burrito. Pssh, it’s a steal! And the service is quuuick, baby! Even if there’s a lot of people, you will get your food in 10 min or less. AND they’re open literally every day. Every day. We go twice a week at least. It might not be good for my diet plans but it’s good...

We just moved to this area and we were sad to leave our favorite food truck and taco spots but this place has lifted our spirits. When I say this place is great I mean it! Whatever they’re doing, they’re doing it right! We tried the torta de asada (highly recommend), asada tacos, and tripa tacos. Everything is was so flavorful. We also had their horchata which was delicious by the way. This is the kind of taco truck you just have to keep coming back to. Here’s a quote from my husband about the torta, “I was so hungry and eating the torta made me hungrier because of how good it tasted. Wow!” The ladies that work the taco truck were kind and you can tell that they care about the quality of their food. If you’re ever near this place I highly suggest you stop by and try their food. You...
