"Was craving Mexican food but wanted something new and closer toward home. It was a cold, windy and rainy day when we came.The host/server was extremely hospitable. He was very friendly and outgoing. Since we were the only table dining indoor on such a cold rainy day, we had his undivided attention. Great service, attention to details (refills and extra napkins without even asking and just an awesome vibe.He was very knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations. We asked the differences in some items that were familiar food and not familiar (which is why we came to learn and explore new food ... we also asked for the authentic food vs the well known American-ize food so that we can understand the cuisine/food abit more. He sold me on his favorite dish which he said, it is an acquired taste ad it was more of a stew and not many Americans would like the taste. I ended up loving it!Hubby and I came for lunch (lunch date! And left very satisfied and happy. We ordered chips with guacamole that also comes with salsa (server brough us hot sauce as well because hot sauce on chips is yum . Ordered:*Large Chips with Guacamole *Taco (3- steak and mixed on corn tortilla *Bistec Ala Mexican*2 Cokes The Bistec Ala Mexican is more of a stew, the server says combining the rice with the spicy tomato is the way to go. Toward the end, I just dump the rest of the rice and beans straight into the bowl and mixed it. It was very lovely and spicy.I would definitely recommend and come back. Both the food quality and service was amazing!"

"I am so happy to see these guys became a permanent fixture. They have good tacos, plates, and the standard taco truck items. They are friendly, speak English and Spanish, and look like they take cards or will do so shortly. It is a personal joy for me to walk out my backdoor and see the faint glinting of their multicolored lights reflecting off the ell. I used to go for walls before the area became dangerous at night. There aren't many lights in the area and there aren't many people around after dark since Paradise Fruit Vegetable closed. There is an industrial hardware store here now, remniscent of lower New Utrecht businesses. Without a bodega on this side of Bay Ridge Avenue, there isn't much life. The truck makes this a corner with light and stool and pedestrian customers as well as deliverymen: enough to give it a pulse. It feels safer to walk over here now, and tacos are an excellent excuse. Their Carne and pollo tacos are good. But the real specialty is their Brooklyn-style Bírria. I don't know enough about Birria to know how different theirs is, except that it is beef and not lamb. It is amazing, with that home-stewed comfort. Fried, seasoned toetillas stay crunchy against the salty, wet beef because of a layer of melted cheese. It hits that southwestern US tastebud with the cheese amd beef. Their beans and rice taste like I am a kid again, which has been one of the hardest things to find. I plan to try the flauta pollo eventually as the quest one was flawless. The flavors are fresh and on point without being overseasoned or bland. And a there's nothing like a walk at 3 am toward rainbow lights for comfort food. Please never leave."
