    I have gotten this a few times for meetings and via DoorDash. The food is phenomenal!!! Absolute burst and melody of flavors. I love their Gringa (al pastor quesadilla) and tacos (cochinita and asada with pineapple). The meat is always tender, the pickled red onions were flavorful and rich with zing, and the portions are perfect. I look forward to going to their food truck to try much more of their food!

    So thankful to have their truck nearby my office! Ever since my experience at the Hayward location, I knew I'd be back again. I came with some co workers and I enjoyed my Gordita with chicharron! This is phenomenal; all the ingredients just came together perfectly. The chicharron was creamy and it reminded me of having a papusa. I wasn't a fan of their tinga quesadilla which is their shredded chicken soaked in this red tomato sauce. This tasted like a soaked enchilada rather; I wouldn't order this again. I did however, try my friend's taco with cabeza meat and it was tender and tasted amazing! I will definitely order these next time. I'll be back again!

    Delicious! I tried the Torta de la Casa and Gordita. Both were so yummy, but I think I preferred the Torta a little more. The breaded beef on it was so good. The tomato and avocado were perfect on top. It had a good kick, but it's not too spicy. The Torta was huge, and next time I might share it with someone else. But I can't wait to go back! Service was pretty quick. It was kinda busy at lunch on a Friday, several online orders were coming through too. I think I waited less than 10 minutes for my order. Ambiance can be interesting, since it's near the planned parenthood. Somehow there weren't any protestors when I went.
