Amazing authentic Mexican food truck selling tamales (Traditional Mexican style), street tacos and Pochas. I tried the Pollo en Mole tamale and the Pocha. The mole had great flavor and the chicken was very tender. The Pocha was similar to a quesadilla, but really was very unique. I really loved the nopales as it added such a great flavor in addition to the pastor.

Hands down one of the best taco trucks around. The beef tacos are juicy and full of flavor, the carnitas tacos are tender with those crispy edges, and the tamales Oaxaqueños wrapped in banana leaves are amazing—soft, rich, and authentic. But the hidden gem is the Pocha—a quesadilla with your choice of meat plus fresh nopalitos (cactus). It’s cheesy, flavorful, and something you won’t find at most trucks. Add in their killer salsas, fresh toppings, and fair prices, and you’ve got a spot that feels like Mexico on wheels.

Wow! What a great surprise. I believe this is a couple grinding to spread their deliciousness to San Antonio. I tried one of all five, each one was fantastically delicious in its own way. The green salsa was so good. My only mistake, only ordering 5. It was enough food but it was that delicious.

This is, without a doubt, the best taco truck in SATX. The street tacos are so flavorful. The pocha and birria tamales are a must get and perhaps the only of its kind in San Antonio. This is the real deal, highly recommend!
