What People's Say About Place

Stumbled upon this gem while passing through the area. Got 3 tacos, chicken, pork and chorizo, all delicious and spicy. The avocado salsa was a great accompaniment. Beautiful setting overlooking the gorge, will definitely be back

There is only greatness that comes out of this food truck. The food is fresh, consistent and SO good. Even when slammed with business the customer service is genuine and fantastic. My partner and I try to come here weekly and always will, we absolutely love this place.

Great food after a hike or from picking fruit. Saturday they have soup. This place is a must when in moiser make sure they are open Mondays I believe they are close but rest of the week they are open around lunch 11-12.

Everything we ordered here was top notch. The carnitas tacos, asada gorditas, and pastor burrito. The price is very reasonable for the portion and amount of meat in the tacos. This is my new favorite taco truck in the gorge. Nice job.

Driving through the middle of nowhere oregon and searched for Mexican food and this taco truck popped up on Google maps. Knowing I was gonna drive many more miles I got a pastor burrito and a steak quesadilla. The burrito was huge and super flavorful, I recommend this for anyone who likes burritos. The quesadilla was a full tortilla but has way more cheese than steak and a tiny side of greens with sour cream. I enjoyed talking to the owners of the truck, and also google maps takes you a block before the location which is in a gravel parking lot.

Strongly recommend! I had a Jamaican agua fresca and 3 tacos: fish, birria, and lengua. My companion had the taco special, which included seasoned corn chips and pico. Everything had distinct, layered flavors. The fish was light and crispy and the lengua was tender. Delicious across the board.

YUMMM! I had their Carne asada and it was delicious!! Great flavor! The meat wasn't grisly nor skimpy! I'll definitely be back!!

How in the world a great food truck in a tiny small town of Mosier. Great Mexican food with lots of flavors. Not many vegetarian options, but the chef make sure eat something good. Best Taco I had, and never had a Vegetarian Tamale. Hats off to the chefs.
