I've been coming here for 8 years, and I've watched the burritos go from $6 all the way up to the current $10, and it has been well worth the price for most of the time. I've also recommended this truck to everyone I've met in the past 8 years, as the Al Pastor burrito is the best I've ever had on planet earth. Their Al Pastor beats Leo's by a mile, yet people still flock to Leo's and stand in line for 20 minutes. The Al Pastor quesadillas and gringas are also both amazing.
BUT, they sometimes miss, and the misses are becoming more frequent. I eventually realized that the Al Pastor is best after 8pm; they'd open at 6pm and I guess they were re-heating yesterday's meat until they ran out of it, because every burrito I would get before 8pm had very little meat, and it was dry as dirt. So I'd make a point to wait until 8ish to go get a burrito, which improved my chances of getting an amazing meal, at least for a while.
Now you can't even count on that. I just got a burrito at 9pm (writing this at (9:20) and it was so lightweight, and the meat was so dry and hard to eat. It's getting to the point where you have about a 60% chance you'll get a small/dry burrito, or a 40% chance that it'll be the best burrito you'll ever eat in your life. For $10, the odds are not good enough.
I've gotta finally stop spending money here, and I've gotta stop...

Now one of their trucks has parked at this Mid-City spot, and in January we will be back to make sure things are up to standard. They also make cheesy gringas and a lot more, don't be shy. This group now has four permanent spots, the others are in Pico-Union, the Wholesale District in south DTLA, and Culver City. We'll...
Read moreDelicious authentic Mexican food. My friends and I were in LA for the week and one of our goals was to find a truly authentic Mexican place.
We honestly came across this truck by mistake, but a welcome one at that.
DELICIOUS Mexican food, I had a chorizo burrito with cheese, this with the selection of sauces and toppings made it one of the best I ever had.
Honestly being back home, I am saddened by our “Mexican” food selection. Can’t wait to come back next...
