What reviewers complain about

Google shows 4.8 stars from 329 reviews for the matched permanent business. That rating helps, but a crowded festival truck is a different service setting. One-taco festival prices can be very high Numbered festival menus have confused customers A few recent reviews describe serious dish inconsistency The most viral item may not be the best-value item

Our verdict

Try one focused item and share it before ordering more. Festival food is expensive, and the most dramatic photo is not always the best thing on the menu.
