    Update! This is my go to spot for Pupusas and tacos.. stick with tacos Al pastor they hit, carne asada(beef) wasn’t seasoned at all. Can’t go wrong with any of the pupusas

    Best pupusas I’ve had in a long time! perfect masa to filling ratio. The agua fresca tasted home made and not too syrupy like I’ve found at most places. Def my new go to!!!

    I just learned what a pupusa is and it's delicious! I got the cheese, bean, and pork which were recommended. The asada tacos are also good. Call if it says closed, they weren't closed tonight but Google said it was. Be aware that it's a food truck, so take your food home.

    Super delicious food. Family business. Great service, a little bit slow but only because they make everything so fresh. Worth the 15 minute wait we had, no question.

    AWESOME! Im kicking myself for not pulling over sooner to try this hidden gem out. I got the steak tacos, and they were incredible. Fresh and seasoned perfectly. Really, really, really GOOD food Nice people too (family business), moved quickly, i'm full and happy. I will honestly probably go back tomorrow. Cheers

    Sometimes you just know that a Chef and his crew are paying attention to detail, intentional in every step of the process, and want you to walk away satisfied and come back happy. Big flavor. Big portions...+ the best Horchata Definitely check out Al

    Great food. An ok price for what you get. I got the 3 taco deal. Wound up being $12.83. A little high for a taco truck but the food was out of sight. They were very polite and were very quick. Great place to grab a quick bite. No seating take home only
