The food was as excellent as the location was sketchy. I would eat here every night for a week!! We drove 40 minutes and it was well worth it. The tostado w chicken and the steak tacos were fresh and delicious. We didn’t mind sitting...at folding tables under a shade cover in 97 degrees. The steak dinner is a must and service is fast and polite!!!More

How is this place not rated as one of the top in Pensacola? I have lived here my whole life and I haven’t been daring enough to try this place. Until today! Beside Costa Maya, this place has the best tacos I have ever tried....The line moved fast and the freshest ingredients! I might go back tonight!More

My first and last experience ordering at this food.truck was utter disgust. It’s located behind a gas station where homeless people hang out and ask for money, the parking area is muddy if it rains, they provide ample seating to eat but it’s laced with...flies. The service is immediate and the delivery is fast. The presentation upon opening my container in my car was sloppy. The tortillas appear to be wheat and lacked flavor. The beef and chicken were loaded with a spicy salty seasoning. The chorizo didn’t taste fresh. The cheese sauce was spicy yet watery. They offer 3 toppings. I wasted $5.00. Tijuana is more impressive than this hangout. If you like filth , flies, and subpar food then have at it. If they are so good as I was told then why not open a brick and mortar store? Probably because the health dept. would shut them down. They get 1 star for being tenacious and working hard while establishing a business.More

Cannot recommend this place enough. It’s a sketchy looking food truck behind a gas station, yes. The first time I saw it I was like really? … YES REALLY! Amazingly delicious food, very reasonable prices, fast service, and it’s very fun watching them cook in...the back. If you’re in the Pensacola area and looking for Mexican food don’t waste your time going anywhere else.More

My Son & his family live 2 blocks away. The food is excellent. always has been for us. You can get a brewski from the shell station too, and no-one cares if you drink it at the seating. This is a great value & great...food. Location is easy to get into driving & the trees overhead are huge & ancient.More

Customer service has been in decline, they seem to have been getting more and more greedy with their condiments and they get offensive when you ask for more salsa and want to charge you for a small salsa that should be given free of charge...especially when you order many tacos and they don’t want to give extra salsa , pico de Gallo, onions, or cucumbers. When I first visited they were outstanding but now they make going there difficult with their rude service.More

Dirt floor, in a trailer, behind a gas station and vacuum your car! What more could you ask for? Right? Well then probably you're gonna get the best street tacos and quesadillas ever made. Prices are outstanding and portions very good. I will say the...burritos are a bit much and BIG. I personally like the campechano quesadilla...Muy Bien! Bon appetit!More

The queso fresco on the tostada was fresh and the service was excellent. I tried the asada, chorizo, pollo, and pastor meat. The pastor is always my favorite.

I am sorry, I don't know that information, but my guess would be no. Most Mexican restaurants are closed on Sunday.
