*Ordered through Ubereats. I was so impressed with this place! I would highly recommend it to others! I tried the mulitas and sopes and would absolutely get them both again! I think the mulitas was my favorite thing overall! I steak Street tacos were excellent. Rice and beans were on point, and the beans were extra flavorful and done well. My friend had the steak burrito and Cuban torta and reported that both were excellent! We will be back again for sure!

I get the carnitas tacos. 3 is enough for a full meal without the rice and beans. I've been going here for years and recommend it for a night you don't know what to eat or a quick lunch downtown Olympia. You can call ahead to save yourself time. This is a taco truck. The atmosphere is a food truck village. In the summer it's nicer. There's picnic tables to sit at, but if it's rainy there isn't a lot of cover and it can be muddy. Service is business like, timely. Usually there's plenty of parking. You could definitely bring kids. Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1 Recommended dishes Pork Carnitas

I really love this place. It reminds me of home in Salinas and the folks are lovely. But the last 2 times I've gone to the Westside truck, there's a lady who's very rude for literally no reason at all and I've noticed shes over charged me 5 or 7 bucks extra for my food. I know this because I get the same 3 things from any of their trucks, the prices don't match what she charges me on the menu, plus tax, my receipt is crumpled before i can ask for it so i never get it and the truck downtown doesn't charge nearly as much. I wish someone would look into this cause obviously that is not okay. I haven't eaten there sense. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
Little overpriced. I asked for spicy salsa to go, and it was sweeter than spicy. Also got charged for a side or rice, and when I got home, they forgot to put the rice in my order Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
Awesome place! I'm from Southern California, so I was not expecting much, but I was so wrong. This place has the street tacos that I know and love from my town. It is slightly limited, but has the basics plus more types, I am spoiled and wanted Cabeza, which they didn't have, but the Lengua (tongue) was fantastic, as good or maybe even better than what I usually get. They also have bottled drinks available submerged in ice. So cold and good! This is a food truck situated in a little kind of lot area with 3 other food trucks. There are benches to sit at if you want. Very cool; I liked that feeling of the place and area. My worker guy (possibly owner) was very nice and spoke Spanish with me cuz I wanted to, but his English was perfect. My sister and I got 4 tacos and too drinks and the total was about $12. Just right.

My favorite taco truck in Olympia by a lot. They never scoff at my asking for extra cilantro or jalepenos inside my burrito and the food is delicious. I will always make the drive downtown to get a burrito here rather than from any of the spots closer to my house because its so much better and the folks working in the truck are friendly and efficient.

I spent a long solid year considering this review and finally I just think it’s worth saying. I used to get 4 tacos plus a lot of beans and rice at this truck for $12 or less. I pay $20 now and get way less for it. During the pandemic they raised their prices to “compensate for the economy”. I noticed speaking with the staff and visiting lots of taco trucks in the area that they own 5 trucks in this area. During the same they were jacking up prices they managed to throw a fresh new paint job on all 5 trucks they have. The prices have since not gone down and in fact continue to go up. Beans and rice are cheap and easy. There shouldn’t be such an incredible decline in service and quality while also a price hike. I’m done eating here. I think I’ll make the same $20 meal at home for half the price.
The lady taking the orders is very rude. I just had one order and she starts sighing and tapping her pen like I’m an inconvenience with an annoying look on her face. What happened to great customer service? I wasn’t being rude at all so I just canceled my order and left. When I walked away she spoke in Spanish like I couldn’t understand her smart remarks. This isn’t the first time she did this either. No thank you! So we went up the street to a different taco truck who had great service! Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20

The food was tasty. Our pork quesadilla was super greasy. And the quesa birria that I ordered was an actual quesadilla rather than the cheesy birria tacos with dipping broth that everyone knows and loves. Descriptions on the online menu would be nice for people placing to go orders online Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Tortas

This place is amazing, the food is so good the comes out of the truck. I ordered a giant pulled pork burrito, when she called my name and I picked up my bag, it was heavy. The burrito was so amazing, great flavor and the salsa was on point. I eat here all the time. So I will be back really soon.
