They just definitely know how to do the Birrea, I spelled that wrong I'm sure, and I ordered something that had two tortillas with the meat on the inside and some cheese, but it was Beria quesadillas. Maybe I can't remember but the tortillas! Those were the most amazing tortillas I've ever had. It was almost like they were cornbread, and then just the flavor in the texture it was just so good. And everybody there really likes good food so they were very excited! Whenever I left because I had to get back home for work purposes, my friends were literally scraping the bottom of all of the containers and we're not leaving until it was done lol

The truck showed up on time, it was clean inside, they were very polite and served incredible food all night long - with a smile. We highly recommend Gonzalez Food Truck for anyone hosting an event.

The chicken wrap is so good I don't want to share the other half with my husband, and the beef and cheese empanada is one of the best I've ever had!

flavor was awesome, but they didn't follow my special instructions, and it's not much food for the money there was not nearly enough salsa for the amount of chips. otherwise it was very good but for the price that's not something i would eat very often
