We got a mad craving for street tacos while stopping into the New Mexican rest stop, and noticed this gem across the highway! This was a tip top taco spot! Friendly atmosphere and hearty mulitas too. I walked into the tent and instantly wanted to buy everything around me. Happy belly.

I must say I've been coming here for over a year now and I absolutely love it. The owner is one of the nicest women I've ever met. This family and friends run taco truck is always open and busy. Only taking one day off a week on Sunday which is definitely well deserved. I recommend stopping in if you haven't before. You'll be back again and again just as I continue to be for many years to come... Thank you all for your wonderful service and fantastic food...
