Very good food and Service. Super nice folks. I stop in a few times a week and get 6 traditional style chicken tacos. The Food and home made hot sauces are terrific. Very fair prices also. Anyone who does not stop by is truly missing out

We’ve been to this food truck a couple times, the people that work there are always so kind and make sure you get what you want! I will say there’s no where to sit (not that we would want to because it was so hot out) but be prepared to eat in your car or take it home. I would definitely recommend this place if you want something easy and filling! Perfect beach day burrito

Alexandria is so friendly and lovely and kind. This is one of the yummiest taco trucks I've ever visited, especially since I get vegetarian dishes - in this case, the vegetarian burrito It was absolutely lush and delicious, and I would order them a thousand times again. Esposo ordered the steak burrito and absolutely raved how delicious it was. Prices are fair for location ($30 2 burritos - one a veggie, one a steak). Food is very fresh, I wish there were more locations, but it's worth the drive to Rodanthe. Very good, que Bueno!
