Delicious! We both opted for the burritos, so can only attest to how great they were. We will definitely try other options when we're back in Patagonia. The most attentive food truck people I've ever seen. Give them a try. Nice little surprise in Patagonia. It used to be an old gas station but now it's a nice eatery. The real revelation was one of their tamales!!! We ordered a caramelo which is kind of like a quesadilla. This one had beans, cheese and carne asada in a flour tortilla. The tortilla was delicious on it's own. Not a store bought item from the taste and texture of it. And it held up well to the beans, rice and carne asada. Beans were delicious, so was the cheese and the carne asada which was on point with flavor. Many of the restaurants in Rio Rico could use a lesson from these folks on how to cook carne asada. This was accompanied with a side of beans and rice which were very good. The revelation here was the tamales. One in particular was amazing. I've had tamales before but neve a spinach and corn tamale. It's tough fo me to admit this but this was a tamale that can carry its own against any tamale with meat. Yes, this tamale had no meat but was so delicious. The combination of a tasty masa with the spinach and with the sweetness of the corn all harmoniously came together where nothing overpowered any other flavor but were all synchronized in a perfect balance of flavors and texture. I was confused and so were my taste buds. I had never even heard of a spinach and corn tamale. AMAZING!!! We now want to make it a habit of eating there. If you enjoy tamales then here is on e for you. Another pleasant surprise that elevates the town of Patagonia for sure. The prices are fair and well worth it. Ate there twice in the same day - had the tacos then a burrito. Nice open air seating.

A fantastic spot right in the middle of Patagonia, anyone traveling through this small town should definitely make the stop! The tamales are amazing, But make sure to show up before they sell out! There is also a great keto taco option which was really tasty!
