      I don't know how long this taco stand has been here, but I think it's been forever. Ha ha. I've heard from other people that have visited it over the years, and it seems to be a staple on the popular Midvale street.

      It's a cash-only establishment, and the prices are so low that you'll easily be able to have a nice meal for whatever you've got in your wallet. I enjoyed two tacos-a beef and a chicken, both absolutely amazing. The flavor is great, the tortillas are warm and fresh-everything about it is great.

      If you're looking for authentic street tacos and don't mind eating in your car or in the parking lot, this is a fantastic option. I may find myself driving over and setting up a taco picnic in the back of my truck this summer. Grab a plate and come join me.

      Best tacos in SLC! Carne asada burrito was delicious, and so were the carnita tacos. The meat was flavorful and crispy.

      Delicious tacos were catered by this restaurant at a graduation party we attended. Wonderfully made tacos, can't stop at just a few, I tried the pork, the chicken, but the carne asada was the best! All the fixins were also offered, Chile/salsa, cabbage filler, peppers, cilantro, cheese, lime, and red & green sauce. Homemade and full of flavor.
      I'm not sure how much it was to have the little taco trailer to come, but I'd dare say it was totally worth it. The leftover meat and tortillas were left with the hosts. Nice worker cooking the meat.
      I would definitely grab lunch here or have them cater sometime!

      Delicious AF (AF stands for always fantastic)!

      I went looking for this place and wound up at the other spot I wrote a lovely review on but anyways I finally had the chance to try it today and it was like I've been waiting all my life to try it (it is the cabeza)

      I was in love with the fatty head meat! It was so good!

      Toppings/things to put on your taco not really my liking but it didn't need much. Just a splash of lime, some cabbage and a drop or line of that green salsa/sauce

      It was good always fantastic!

      Oh yeah and it's was cheaper than the all night place in WVC (shrug emoji)

      I found my new spot (praying hands emoji, shaka emoji)

      When life was normal amd we saw people, I would go here a couple times a week.

      The carne asada is my favorite. They are low cost and the pico and green sauce they provide is really good.

      It's one of my favorite places to eat.

      I definitely concur with all the five star reviews; these tacos are REALLY good. While I enjoyed the carnitas and carne asada, I thoroughly enjoyed the pastor (seasoned pork) and cabeza (beef head/cheek) tacos. The flavor in the pastor is like nothing I've ever experienced, quite possibly my new favorite, and the cabeza was fatty, tasty, and so, so tender!

      Another thing: recently, I've stopped putting condiments on tacos, except for carnitas. I find that the meat and tortillas are the flavors I crave. Anyone else feel the same way?

      Anyhow, if you're looking for an alternative to your 'other' favorite taco stands, get to Center Street Midvale, and see why there's a crowd standing and sitting around this taco cart. Enjoy!

      This was a catered job at a wedding and it was incredible. Maybe the idea of all you can eat swayed me but honestly, the taste was unreal. Not only did they have the tasty typical street taco meat options but they set up a lovely table with all the toppings and fixings. This was an awesome options and a breath of fresh air for a wedding. Craving some right now.

      Very good, cheap, and quick tacos.

      I drive by here all the time and finally decided to give this taco cart a whirl. I ordered two chicken, carne asada, and spicy pork tacos. I loaded each taco with toppings as sauces -- the green sauce was my favorite and the hot sauce was HOT! My favorite was the carne asada taco, it had very nice flavors. For $1.25 a taco, I will sure be back to get more.

      Best taco cart in the valley. They have been guests at school events I have held for the last ten years. Not only is their food delicious, they believe in giving back. I have attempted to hire them for catering meals for teachers several times. They always came through with the tacos but refused to accept a dime. Finally, after feeling the spirit of one of our events, the owner came back with her cart and family a few weeks later to provide free tacos to all 500 students and staff members. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed. This is a REAL authentic taco cart not a fancy fusion food truck.

      The meat for all the tacos was unseasoned and really really oily. When I say early I mean my hands was dripping oil and the plate was filled up. Never in my life have I ever had El Pastor like that, super oily, gray in color and BURNT- Worst of all.

      Nothing better than biting into a taco for a mouthful of char.

      Really this place has hit rock bottom. I've seen the slow decline for the past few months, and now they've resorted to serving left overs (including el pico de gallo, expiring in the BAGS). There was aluminum pieces in our meat, Ive never been so disgusted.

      I will NEVER come back, get a better experience a little down the street at el Pariente. Or starve- that would've been preferable then biting into oil and burnt char.

      Never. Again. Wish I could mention one tasty thing- I can't. Save your money Im so disappointed and having the worst stomach pain possible.
