The chocolate peanut butter cake was the best I’ve ever had. The cake was so fresh and the icing was amazing! Please come back to Talavera!!!

Pizza was hot and the crust was delicious. I loved that they said my name and best of all they said "Merry Christmas"

It's something different from the other 60% of trucks we get here where it is in someway another version of Mexican food made from the same products. The pizza is not only different, it is great and worth the cost.

Favorite part is the whole truck! This is my favorite food truck. Not a dud on the menu and always kind staff.

Pizza was amazing, good number of choices on menu. Only recommendation would be to be able to add other ingredients on pizzas. Will definitely order next time they come

They ran out of GF buns, so I ordered a burger without a bun, and sauce on the side, planning to use a GF bun at home. When I checked the order at home, the bunless burger had a regular bun. I switched it to the GF bun but all of the cheese stuck to the regular bun. Very disappointing. We will not be ordering in the future unless you have GF buns, as your menu listed.

A little more sausage would be good. Love the crispy crust and not overly cheesed. One of our favorite pizzas.

My order was ready and the chicken melt flavor was great! The cheese could have been more melty, but it was great

Reduce price of plain burger compared to burgers with all toppings. Should be more like $7 given extra patty is $4 and plain burger is patty plus bun.
