This place has a real Mexican Tlayudas with real quesillo and chapulines!!! That’s the most tasty for me. The service is kindly. One tlayuda was enough for me and my boyfriend. We still take chapulines to go order. Next time I will try the mole.

This food truck is proudly Oaxacan and it is spectacular. The food was above and beyond my expectations in terms of presentation and taste. We also received a free cup of fideo and it was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Amazing authentic food from Oaxaca, one of the best culinary regions in Mexico! Every bite brought me back home! What a fantastic discovery! My kids loved the picaditas and tacos, with hand made tortillas! And my husband and I had the Tlayuda. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service fantastic! We can’t wait to be back!

I dont know why this place doesn't have more reviews and why I haven't heard of it until now because this food truck is amazing. The food truck is tucked away in a lot right beside a white gas station/convenience store along with another food truck so it is a little bit hard to find, but you definitely don't want to miss out on it. They specialize in authentic Oaxacan street food and offer it at an incredibly affordable price fresh-to-order ($2 tacos!!), which is great for those looking to try something new and unique from the ubiquitous Tex-mex. I'm actually pretty surprised by the wide variety of options they offer, and I'm looking forward to trying them all out over the next few trips I take here. As my wife is pretty particular about her tortas, she ordered a customized El Chavo torta which the food truck owners readily accommodated. As more of a taco guy myself, I ordered suadero, beef, barbacoa, chicken mole, and carnitas tacos with agua de Jamaica to wash it all down. The food was phenomenal and the flavor was on point. Unlike a lot of other tacos I've had in Texas, the meat was juicy and packed with flavor (not greasy at all), the tortillas were hand-made, and there were GENEROUS mounds of meat served between TWO tortillas for each taco. They also provided some crunchy sliced radishes, lime wedges, and two salsas: a very spicy, creamy, smooth red sauce (spicy and savory) and a light mild acidic tomatillo sauce. They elevated the tacos to a whole other level. All the tacos were good, but I have to say that the barbacoa and suadero were my personal favorites. The barbacoa had an incredible depth of flavor and was crazy tender and juicy while not greasy. The bits of suadero had nice and crispy edges and a tender juicy center. The salsas were essential - next time I'll have to add a few more. I could probably use the red one on anything. I didn't get to hear what my wife thought of the torta because she scarffed it down pretty quickly and instantly went into a food coma, which I think are positive signs. The agua de Jamaica was great and refreshing too and NOT too sweet, which is the problem I often encounter with aguas frescas. Although the drink was served cold, I wish it could've had a few ice cubes to keep it ice cold. The only issue I had was that the food was a little cold by the time we got to eat it. To be fair, we did do take out but we only live 7-10 minutes away. Perhaps the food truck would benefit from wrapping the to-go tacos in aluminum foil or having some covered umbrella-tables in the lot for eating it there fresh. Regardless, the food is easily both good and affordable enough for me to look forward to the next meal here. I highly recommend anybody who likes or is interested in trying authentic Mexican food to come here!!! You won't regret it.
