“ Got the pollo tacos and they were incredible. Not too salty, and very generous portion of meat. Loved the cilantro and onion. They were ready immediately and tasted so fresh. The staff were very friendly too. Only $3.00 per taco, very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back. Some of the best tacos I’ve had in Detroit. ”
“ Best tacos in the city and unlike other taco trucks in the area they have access to water so the workers can wash their hands ”
“ Found this food truck online, had great reviews, and so off we went, and we were not disappointed. I was craving birria tacos and I had my hot plate in hand within 1 minute. Language was a small barrier, but with a simple menu, it wasn't that hard. Let's talk about the taste. The shredded roast was so good. I always ask for extra onions. The consomme just seemed like regular salsa, and I was ok with that. They were delicious! A lot of people took their food and went inside the building in front of the truck. I think it said Primos too, but not 100% sure. ”
“ This is typical CASH ONLY food truck I've ever seen near detroit owned by proper Mexican to cook some delicious tacos. I've only tried the street tacos and price of them are like $2 each. I would say the meats are cooked well but was a little under salted. They've got the sauces on the side. I don't have any complaints for a food truck. You should definitely give it a try if you're a fan of tacos. ”
“ My favorite place to get Mexican food! Always get the quesabirria. The portion is gigantic and the flavor is to die for. I have also had tacos and a burrito from there. Nothing disappoints. The price for the quality of the food is spot on and the staff are friendly and quick. Highly recommend. ”
