Calixto is a native of Toluca, Mexico, and has been in the United States for 19 years. He operates the restaurant with his wife, a native of Guatemala.

The menu includes tacos, burritos, tortas, huarache and more. Tacos are the most popular item and guests can choose from several different meat options.

Calixto plans to add snacks to the menu like churros, crazy pineapple, crazy watermelon, crazy corn and more. The crazy corn, for example, features toppings such as Doritos or Cheetos. The restaurant is also in the process of obtaining a liquor license.

Calixto, who plans to continue to operate the food truck, is excited to give the community a new experience. He enjoys being able to customize his menu and also said the taqueria is a great option for people on-the-go.
