The fries were the best! Then the cheese and ground beef were 2nd and ground beef 3rd. But all are delicious!

The food is amazing! I got caught in traffic so was well behind my pre-order time, the food was still made fresh when I got there. Can’t wait for them to come again!

Quick and tasty. I feel like taste and speed are the most important things for a food truck and they nailed both!

The beef brisket was perfectly smoked, the mac & cheese very saucy. I was surprised that the coleslaw wasn't mixed, but then I thought (great idea).- this way I can remove some sauce to match my taste

This is honestly still one of my favorite food trucks, even though today the thing I was looking forward to most was an I don’t. They did not bring with them. They still did what they could to make it right. I genuinely appreciate them for that

This is my second year ordering Naco Taco! I purchased 12 various tacos. Apparently the Tofu was “Amazing. I ate it in 4 seconds”. “The shrimp was awesome. Get more next year. Better yet, maybe they can come more than once a year” We’re a huge fan of Naco Taco. Two thumbs up.

Plantain, chicken, rice and peas, and wings. My entire order was delicious. I can't wait to eat there again.

Literally the best fries I've ever had...and the breading on the chicken is light and perfectly crispy.
