The food truck is located under a bridge with limited parking. There are a few tables available outdoor, of course. The food is amazing, to say the least; I returned a second time in the same day and wasn't disappointed. Also, this would be a budget traveler's dream for the price range, 5 tacos for under $10.

*cash only* I’ll echo other reviewers on calling this a “hidden gem.” For ambiance I’d give this a 1/10, but that really doesn’t matter. Its location under a bridge in a border town may not inspire confidence, but don’t be dissuaded. The staff were friendly, prices extremely low, and service was quick. There are tables in a shaded area if you want to eat there. I tried four different meats and each was better than the last. The cabeza in particular stood out as the best I’d ever tried of that variety. I was warned when I asked for the hot salsa that it was spicy, but ended up finding it delicious. This is a great spot to grab a great cheap lunch.

Ordered a Burrito and 3 tacos with a soda, but didn't have enough cash... Lady at the window said it wasn't a problem. Found some change in my bag afterwards. Really good food and management!!!
