    I come here for breakfast pretty often. I always get the same thing the catrachitas and two baleadas. I like to buy an avocado from the store next door and ask them to put it on both :) I love their atole and champurrado. I like to go home and add coffee to it. It's pretty consistent in my experience tho sometimes there will be a new person. They're nice people tho service isn't my main priority. I usually grab it to go but there are tables and chairs next to the trailer. Overall I highly recommend definitely helps if you speak Spanish.

    This is a hidden gem with great priced food! Nothing flashy or crazy just a food truck in the parking lot with some tables and chairs to sit at. We showed up on a Saturday 1pm no line and the food came out very quickly - Different Mexican Tamales - all delicious and soft - Guatemalan Tamales - very delicious and even more soft - Pupusa - we were so full from the tamales that we had to take it home! The food was soft, juicy and large portions. VERY happy that I finally tried this place out and highly recommend it. They have a number of other items and homemade drinks.

    Pupusas are on point, I ordered 3 to take home should have ordered a dozen. Hand made to order. How can anyone go wrong here. Super nice people and great food, we are a perfect match swipe right.

    This is hands down one of the greatest hidden gems of all times! My boyfriend and I sauntered in for a quick pupusa and found the very friendly and gracious owner getting down to some beats and proceeded to engage us in witty repartee and feed us the best chicharrones I've ever had while waiting for our pupusas! The food was amazing but what really puts this place over the top was Lupita and her staff and did I mention that Lupita and I are now exchanging cooking tips/knowledge being that I'm a fellow chef! EAT HERE, you know you want to!!!!
