Had a burrito pastor from their food truck. The food was so fresh. 3 different sauces that were all excellent. Fresh cucumber salad, lightly dressed. Fresh lime….

I came in, got greeted and seated, got treated well and my food was absolutely delicious. One of the best tacos I've ever had and it will be my go to spot going forward. Order yourself tacos de birria, won't regret it

My favorite food truck on long warf. They consistently have the best tacos and quasadillas.

Some of the best tacos I've had in CT. The steak had a very good taste. You could tell all the ingredients were fresh. Great service very friendly. Good prices as well.

Great taste and lots of food. Great place for tacos if longwharf trucks are packed and with out the wait time.
