Delicious tacos. Nice saucy chorizo. Really good salsas. Fun, tacky cat decorations everywhere, including the toilet paper holder. Our order was taken to the food truck in the parking lot, and our food came out of the food truck; the quiet, large dining room essentially serves as a food truck lobby, and less like a full-on restaurant.

We just googled “Mexican Ice Cream near us. We live in Verona. We were timid driving up to the location in a somewhat run down strip/corner mall. They even have a food truck outside!! We were certainly intrigued. This location is just one we drive by on the highway but never come down the side streets. Walking into the restaurant we were completely surprised with how updated the inside was! It’s so welcoming and children friendly but also quiet enough for adults to relax and enjoy! They have it all! Tacos, burritos, sopes, memelas, tortas, and tons of ice creams, snacks, elotes, etc!!! I ordered tacos and they were STUFFED! they cook the food inside the taco truck which is certainly different but it took maybe 5 minutes as they were already cooking once we passed the truck. The sauces (green very creamy and strong taste of roasted peppers 9/10) (red sauce taste of chipotles and also somewhat creamy 8/10) We certainly will be coming back to test more things out on the menu! What an absolute hidden gem and it’s fairly cheap too! Give them a try!

Wasn't open at 11:46 on a Wednesday. Shame I really wanted to try their stuff. Also has their food trailer parked blocking the ramp for wheelchair access and wheelchair ramp room. Update 7/27 Food was great, staff was nice. Only points for improvement would be to not block wheelchair access, and it was just a but loud with all the people coming in and out of the back and staff watching things on their phones. I was the only customer there so it was surprising how many people where just coming and going from the back.

My wife and I tried this place for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised! They have a wide selection of food and desserts, so we will have to come back to try everything. We got the steak tacos and chorizo tacos, and both were delicious. We dined in, and the tables and chairs were clean, and the we loved all the color on the walls. We also got the churros to go and they were made fresh, and topped with bananas, strawberries, and chocolate. 10/10 would recommend!

Love everything about this place! The food, the decor, the staff, the ambiance… all wonderful! I got a chicken torta, along with chorizo and pork tacos. All made fresh outside in the food truck. Everything as authentic as it gets! Great price! Can’t wait to go back!!!

This place is my new favorite Taco place. They don't have a big menu, but what they have is authentic quality food. It's not particularly expensive either and they also have a huge selection sweets & treats as well.
