Had best tacos in a while, the chicken was so Well cooked and the spices were just perfect. Disappeared too fast to take a pic. Ordered los gallos Rojos

very reliably decent food! the portions for the burrito and the torta are huuuge. sometimes there's a bit of a wait, and the carne asada can be a bit tough. the chipotle salsa is fantastic and the veggies are always good

got Los Gallos Rojos let's just say that this filled me up with so much food i didn't eat for the next 22 hours for the price (only 12 dollars) that's a ridiculous portion size where to even start these seemed to be soft tacos, but with a full melted cheese covering on both sides of the shell i would say that's my only slight disappointment - that these weren't really crispy at all - there was no real crunch when i would bite into one of them - rather it was just slightly harder than a soft taco the cheese did add a great flavoring to the outside though - making this more than a normal taco shell each taco was absolutely overflowing with stuffing - it got to the point where the plate became another full meal by itself from everything that fell out of the taco the two main components of each taco were the cheese and the chicken the cheese was so perfectly melted - may have been the best cheese in a taco i've ever had it created such a satisfying cheese pull every time you took a bite - and it was one consistency throughout, meaning every time you took a bite you had to pull the cheese away from the rest of the taco - which was just fantstic as for the chicken - i was slightly disappointed that it wasn't spicy in the slightest. However, it still tasted like it had a really nice flavor, and had a soft interior. It being actually spicy would've moved this dish up a lot, though each taco was primarily made out of this chicken - and there was so much of it it was practically insane - but I loved this amount shoutout to the onions as well - they were great I asked for the habanero sauce - which i thought was ok - wasn't spicy at all and didn't add much flavor. will go with another sauce next time tried mixing in some taco bell fire sauce which was interesting i love that these came wrapped in aluminium foil to preserve heat. a great touch overall, as far as taste, these were pretty good, but when you consider the amount of meat you're getting, along with overall portion size - it's simply a fantastic meal. 8.5/10

Yupppp hella good, the mole taco was one of the best tacos I’ve ever had (though might be biased, I loveeee mole) and everything else was good portions at nice proces and honestly lovely presentation which sometimes you dont get at taco trucks. Nice menu and they give you tons of side sauces.
