“ La comida estaba chingona! The food was really good! I got 4 tacos and a Camaron tostada and everything was on point! The camaron was fresh and it wasn't fake shrimp like other places! All the other food stands on this street don't have nothing on tacos el flaco! Don't waste your time with the other food stands/trucks! This one is the best! The carnitas we're nice and crispy and fresh! Don't even talk about the cabeza! It was really good and savory! I highly suggest this place! #TRUCKINGWITHCHINO ”
