I have been here a couple times before and was able to return today. If you like Latinx food, these trucks are wonderful! We ordered Papusas, a pincho, and a Pina colada. (my friend got something else, but I do not remember what it was, some type of sopa taco I believe) I had gotten Puerto Rican (PR) food here previously, but was thoroughly disappointed when I did not see any PR trucks today. I am wondering if they are on some type of schedule? The parking is either along the road or in the little strip in front of the trucks, we went around 330 and there was plenty of parking available. The sun was beating down on us and we were able to find some shade to eat across the road and under a tree near the water. A bunch of other people were eating over there too. I may go back if in the area, but New Haven has so many restaurants I want to try, so I might skip this unless I am craving something specific.

I am not into the street food but wanted to visit this place. I am just reviewing the area here not particular truck. Lots of food trucks around Latino mostly. No places to sit! The seafront is full of overloaded thrash bins and trash lying around, wasn’t clean at all. Connecticut municipality should invest in arranging seating area and maintaining the cleanliness of the place. People I saw around were cheerful & really enjoyed the place. I wish municipality makes an effort to maintain the cleanliness & have seating area for them. I had churros, pina colada, my husband had tacos. Pina colada had great presentation, tasted so fresh. My husband said tacos were delicious. For food I would give 4 star. In New York, there are trucks near LIC (Long Island city) waterfront gantry park it has seating areas, and is cleaner- similarly CT/New Haven municipality should invest more in making long wharf better place to visit for everyone.

Driving along the highway from NY to RI my car full and I decided to try the food here. I enjoyed my Mexican Food. The price was fair and ut tasted fresh. You may see lines but it seems to move fast. The majority of the trucks sell Mexican cuisine and I’m sorry I don’t know which truck I ordered from. I only know they didn’t have a lot of people in front. Teens ordered from a different, small line Mexican food truck and they were also happy. Unfortunately the Latin Caribbean food trucks we didn’t have luck with. Good tastes as if they over use the oil. The flavor was lacking and NOT representative of Latin foods. So I overall, stick to the Mexican food there. And just FYI not worth a trip here, just a cool place to stop ifffff you’re in the neighborhood.

My wife and I recently moved to this area and we were excited to check out this food truck paradise area. As we strolled along the street looking at several food trucks we decided to order from this red truck (Ixtapa Tacos). I didn’t look at any reviews but this placed smelled good and there were more people coming to this spot as well. The man who took our orders was super nice and when we asked for his recommendation he said Tacos de Birria. We got that along with pork quesadillas. Both were extremely delicious but the tacos de birria was the highlight for sure. Dipping the tacos in the soup was so yummy and the volume was pretty good for its price. We’ll definitely come back here again haha oh and make sure to grab enough napkins :)

Great place off I95 that I've always driven by and is well worth the exit. The food is very well priced and the food comes out fast. Every truck may share similarities in dishes since some share the same country but each offer slight variations. I visited the Santa Apollonia truck and their food was great. I had the 4 for 6$ beef tacos, my girl had a pernil plate with yellow rice, fried, maybe braised, pork, and a side salad. We both shared an elote. We did however wanted a drink and got that from a different truck so we ordered horchata and tamarind refresca. This will become mandatory for my drive up and down between NJ and MA.

Easily my death meal. It was my first time coming here and the tacos from the one food truck I randomly decided to try is hands down the best flavors that have ever danced in my mouth. They have an AMAZING 5 tacos for 10$ deal and I would recommend STEAK!!!!!!! The best steak I have had in a while esp considering it was from a taco- juicy, fatty, tender. The barria taco was really juicy and flavorful too! I also tried the original cubano which was also packed with so much depth in flavor! If you’re in ct for even just a day DONT FORGET TO COME HERE!! I enjoyed every moment of it.
