"Me n my son go there every Saturday. They have the best mexican cuisine in rowan county. People may look at like just a taco truck but its much more. The meats are thoroughly seasoned to perfection and you get joy from every bite. When I work out that way me and my partner definitely are getting much there. Definitely hot and made to order with everything you want on your taco, burrito quesadillia, torta, and much more. If you like the simple things the chicken nachos is for you. Great customer service and the atmosphere depends on who you are riding or driving with. Google only let me give 5 stars, but they are a 10 outta 10. Check them out. Side note, my favorite is the chicken n steak burrito with everything on it with their home made salsa Verde."

"This is the best place to eat, I would recommend. Yes they close early sometimes but I figured out it was because they needed to go serve at other parties and competitions. I love this place."
