Once you get there, you'll be greeted with the nicest servers. We ordered some tacos al pastor (marinated pork tacos) and some tacos carne asada (beef). The cousins also ordered some lengua (tongue). We asked for red sauce, which is the spicy version.
These tacos are authentic and bare bones. They were on the small side, so I'd say we had to eat 3 or 4 to get full. Still, four tacos come out under 5 dollars, so this is still a good deal. Our carne asada tacos were delicious, the meat being quite tender and cut up nice and small. This made it easy for the kids to eat. I will have to say that I was expecting real salsa, and not hot sauce. Although I love fire, the hot sauce was a tad too spicy and there was too much on each taco. This overwhelmed the tacos somewhat. Next time, I will go with the milder green sauce or order the sauce on the side. And don't think I made the kids eat the hot sauce. I left it out for them.
The tacos al pastor has more flavor since they are marinated, and again, the hot sauce overpowered the meats. But the meat was nice and tender. The cousins like the lengua too. By the way, the servers asked us if we wanted radishes with the tacos, and we declined.
This taco truck opens up towards the evening hours until the wee party hours, so don't try to come here for lunch. Do come for solid quality, back to basics tacos.

Thanks for this write-up. Their tacos look delish!!
I've got to stop by one these day. I'm usually around that are once a week.
that salsa roja looks dee-licious! gotta love the taco trucks...will be trying this out. btw, i've read/heard kogi truck has been coming to rowland heights for the past couple weeks
Delicious-looking tacos!
I just wish they had added cheese or something. I definitely agree that the sauce was tooooo spicy but the meat was so soft and tender! Great, authentic place overall.
YEEEAAAAH. I keep hearing about the Kogi Korean BBQ truck everywhere! I heard it's really good and the wait is ~2 hours. I want to try it and see what the hype is all about!
Delicious looking tacos! They look much better than what I had at a festival. One of the places were selling tortas and I got the al pastor, and the meat sure didn't look as juicy and delicious as the al pastor here!
Jenn, yeah try it!
Sawyer, I've heard that Kogi has been coming out here, but the lines are still not doable for us with the kids. Do I have to wait until 5 years before I can go? Argh. I wonder if I can just get my cousins to pick some up for me.
Food For Tots, it was a very good dinner.
EatTravelEat, which festival did you go to?
I woud've enjoy the tacos more if it wasn't that cold. I didn't really like the lengua, my favorite is still the carnitas.
Jen Jen, I guess I need to try the carnitas next time.
fourxseasons, check out Sawyer's blog on the Kogi truck. Let me know how it goes if you go. It'll be a while before I can.
Some of the best food comes from those trucks. Tiny tacos make me sad unless they're dirt cheap. =D
Shavedicesundays,
I was at the Baldwin Park band festival during autumn during that time. It was a rainy day so that may or may not have also impacted their cooking!
Chubbypanda, I agree with points one and two.
WSL98787, ahhh I've never heard of such a festival.
mmm... If only there was anything close to real tacos in Taipei, it would make me so happy.. but I'll just have to count the days until I get back to Taipei.
joanh, no tacos in Taipei? you need to open one!
