The good: Their breakfast tacos are pretty sizeable & their tortillas are great. There was no crowd & the truck is in good location. Unfortunately, though the wait was a little long due to lots of to-go orders & only one guy working.
The bad: We ordered some scrambled egg breakfast tacos, but I couldn't get back the fact that the scramble had a bunch of carbonized/burnt pieces from the flat top.

That sizzling sound of cooking food in the background stirs up your appetite! I indulged in a taco-trio: Alambre con pollo, pimientos y chorizo Campechano con carne Rico con pollo
Their Alambre taco evinced to be my favorite! Made with chorizo and pepper blends, doused by green hot sauce - a harmonious flavor melody!

Who says tacos are just for Tuesdays? Get over there before they...
