Fresh and Delicious tacos. Very reasonable pricing and simple menu. They even had a small hut for seating. Located behind a mobil gas station. Shrimp taco’s were amazing. They’re the best shrimp tacos i ever had for 3.5$ each. They’re open late.

3 of us went and cuz we were craving tacos from a truck. Didn’t expect it to be this good and affordable. Amazing flavors on the steak but chicken felt a bit flavourless to me despite looking good.

Top 3 Mexican food in Tampa. Delicious food, prices are solid. I highly recommend their lengua (cow tongue) or asada (steak). The al pastor chicken is sometimes too dry but still flavorful. This place never disappoints when I'm craving some nice mexican.

I cannot tell you how good these tacos were. I got the tongue tacos and they were amazingly good seasoned, soft, definitely we'll be back. Sorry I did not take the pictures. I was so hungry. I ate them with the passion.

This is our favorite taco truck. The corn tortillas are some of the best I've ever had and I was able to piece together enough Spanish to get beans tacos (I don't eat meat).
