initially when I went to pick up the food it was a little chaotic I would like to see clear signs of where to order and pickup the food

One of the pizza's was perfect but the cheese pizza was burned in the bottom which made the pizza taste bad . We follow the truck and have never had this happen.

This is the best burger truck. Everything we ordered was really fresh. Please keep Smash and Roll on Talavera’s list of trucks.

The fries were cooked well and love the seasoning, I just prefer thinner fries. I also think it would be better if the bun was toasted. Otherwise great meal.

Burgers are always delicious, lettuce and tomato always fresh and fries never greasy. We also love the toasted buns. It especially helps with the gluten-free buns. Without toasting, they tend to fall apart.

The french fries were good but overly salty. . . The truck arrived an hour & half or more late after we already ordered and paid around 5:30! Customers were not notified of when they were arriving.

The service is consistently incredible and the flavor, fresheness and amount of food was perfect. I was craving tacos for weeks and knew I would be satisfied ordering from Moms Tacos!

The customer service was great, my lunch was ready on time, the quesadilla was great but the seasoning on fries was amazing
