El pastor is the way to go! Nachos, tacos, tostadas- it doesn't matter. It's all good and super fabulous toppings. My all time fav late night munchie spot!
It's just great Mexican food. And it comes from a truck. Need I say more? They're always really nice and the prices are pretty reasonable. Wish they still had $2 tacos, tho. Cash only, I believe.- And I thought I'd never find good Mexican food in NY. This truck is heaven sent. I'm here every week for the usual: al pastor/lengua/chorizo tacos & tamarindo flavor Jarritos 😘😘
Mehan JayasuriyaJuly 15, 2015as a person of south asian descent, i often discount warnings about spiciness--be forewarned: if they say something is spicy here it will be SPICY. that said, tacos are A+ by NYC standards.- The #5 Special (Synchronizada?) is truly a spectacle to behold. Be sure to substitute the ham for your favorite meat and indulge. They are also open until 5am on Fridays and Saturdays.
In a neighborhood without many good Mexican food options, this truck is a lifesaver! My go-to is the burrito with chicken tinga.
If you get anything chicken ask for spicy chicken instead. Its not that spicy but has a really good smoked flavor. It truly us a hidden gem in Astoria.
Sean SmithDecember 15, 2015Sometimes you get off the subway late at night and really need a burrito. This is where you should get the burrito you should be eating.- So now they're in town Monday to Thursday from 6pm to 1pm. Every other day they're on Wall Street near Front. Tacos are great, get chorizo!
Racky RossOctober 17, 2014This guy is a legend! I mean, you have to stand in a line in front of a random truck any given time! !!! Totally worth the wait!- After a short hiatus/truck complications they have finally returned. Yes they have a new young cook who is still grasping the ropes, but in time his legacy shall be proclaimed throughout Astoria.
- They gave me a free fish taco to try out. It was so good that I threw the $3 at them and vowed to order it again. Amazing.
- Awesome Carnitas burrito. Amazing tostadas: chorizo, steak, tinga (spicy chicken).
Literally everything is good. Shout out to the tinga, cesina, and al pastor.
Norberto SanchezAugust 13, 2012I really recommend the 2 dollars taco (try the carnitas one) is my favorite ..!!
The $3 carnita tostada with everything on it rules my life!
Don't go early, order later at night when the griddle gets all the flavors of the meat.
- Patrick HealyApril 16, 2012The first truck did so well they got another. Kinda tells ya something eh? Recommendation: get a taco.

"Amazing mexican food for such a low price. Just stinks that they are cash only! Their enchiladas are the best!"

"This place is kind of the best. The tacos are insane. Do yourself a favor and order a few lenguas with the red sauce. A great substitution for when El Rey deal Taco fails to deliver."

"Ceviche and enchiladas verde were fresh, delicious, and perfectly seasoned."
