Been to taco trucks all over the states and this is by far the best place for a veggie burrito!!! It was HUGE and tasted amazing the horchata was just as good!! First time eating a fish taco & I wanted to order another one immediately as they were that good!!! Will definitely come back if we get a load nearby! They have daily specials so we got the 2 fish tacos w/ rice and beans for 13.99 and I believe the 1/2 polo was the same as it was on the daily special menu for 13.99. This is my new favorite taco truck!!! Picnic tables out front to sit and enjoy your meal! Get out of the truck and walk over there guys!!!! It’s literally soooo close. Right in front of the pilot. Prices are not bad at all!!!! **the pics do not give portions size justice because the burrito was HUGE and the tacos were big as well!

Really delicous food. I asked the cashier what he recommends and I got the tortas al pastor that came with fries. It was a a little on the expensive side but totally worth it. The sandwich was absolutely delicious even if it had problems being held together. Really good quick service and im looking forward to trying other things on the menu.

After reading the reviews on this place, I was a little sketchy, but I was craving a good taco truck. I hoped for the best and honestly I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos & a supreme burrito. My wife ordered the asada fries.... This particular taco truck threw both of us back to Southern California. Taco trucks are a dime a dozen and a lot of them are just garbage, but this truck has good food. The meat is seasoned well & your food comes out at the perfect temperature to bite into without the burn but hot enough to warm the soul & the prices are the same as 90% of taco trucks across the country. Forget the bad reviews, take it from someone who travels the country eating out of food trucks... this place is worth the try!!!!

The food was fresh and made fairly quickly. California Burrito. Staff was friendly and polite. There is a little hut to eat under during weather conditions. I would eat here again, enjoy!

Walked across the interstate from the flying J truckstop. I love breakfast burritos.. it was one of the best I ever had . I have been driving a truck almost 30 years all 48 states and try to eat at local small owned businesses as much as possible. I'm going back tomorrow.

I ordered the carnitas dorado burrito and it’s literally the best burrito I’ve had in Washington. The guy was super cool and the food was fast! My order was ready in 5 minutes.

It is a great place to get some tacos and a filling breakfast burrito. We found this place across the street from a charging station that was located in a McDonald's parking lot. We wanted some tacos while waiting for the car to charge. We ordered pretty much a player of tacos. They look small at first, but we're packed with protien and flavor. The breakfast burrito was very filling as I had them add extra meat to it (worth it). Overall, we were happy with the food.

I tried Chicken Tacos & Quesadilla and I will place it on the top list of best mexican food I have tried. The Quesadilla was especially filled with chicken and cheese. Just have it fresh to get the best taste. It's situated just in front of the Pilot travel center. So if you're a trucker there's no need to worry about parking.
