Absolutely delicious! The al pastor tacos are mouthwatering and taste so authentic. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. Fresh ingredients, friendly service, and great portions. Easily one of the best Mexican food spots on the island!

Great spot to get some authentic Mexican food. Definitely recommend the birria tacos.

Really great tasting food! I had the burrito al pastor and it was filled with pork, rice, beans, lettuce, avocado. Really large portion size for fairly low prices. The people there were really kind and the service was really fast. Definitely will go back!

We are visiting from Illinois and had a taste for some tacos after the beach so we stopped here! Very yummy asada tacos and the asada burrito was also packed with toppings. Even avocado! They have a very clean outdoor seating area if you wish to enjoy your food on the spot.

I consider myself a quesadilla connoisseur, I have had over 1000 quesadillas in my life, I live and breathe quesadillas. This is the best quesadilla I have ever had in my life. Don’t let the low number of reviews sway you, easily the best Mexican food on the island.

Robert Castles

It's like we teleported to Mexico. Phenomenal. The birriaqueso taco is excellent. The food truck is behind a small gas station.

Karina Treviño

My family and I stopped here after the beach and it was delicious! We all got asada in different forms (the plate, tacos, and quesadilla). The seasoning was fantastic and impressed us. The truck is authentic and fairly well priced!
