“This is the place to go for TJ style street tacos, without having to go directly into TJ!”

A longtime go-to since high school. Self-serve toppings (guacamole, onions, etc.) are available off the side of the taco truck parked outside. Recommends the free bean soup found on a small grill by the shop. Orders are placed at the register near the drinks, and the receipt must be brought to the truck for the food to be made.
