"In A Nutshell:-The tacos here are really worth the hype.-I've waited for a while to over to this part of town & glad I made the effort.-They have a drive-thru setup which is interesting being that this is a food truck located in a run down gas station/automotive shop.-I enjoyed 4 tacos: cabesa, al pastor, pollo & chorizo.-Each one tasted so good & unique.-The diced onions, salsa, turnips & sliced lime were nice sides to add on the tacos.Overall, the service was very friendly & fast. I would come here again for sure for their delicious tacos!"
"Yaqui Zen is among the best vegan food in Vegas in my opinion. I love the strong, bold flavors. It seems like every time I see them at an event, they have at least one new item to try. Last time I came to see them at a vegan food festival, hubby and I tried the menudo and mango agua fresca with a chamoy and tajin dipped rim. Both were absolutely delicious and addicting. They are so nice and have excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend!"
"This is not your average ice cream novelty truck. The trailer is very generic in appearance with a boring name that would fit right in at the food court of a county fair. The old-fashioned ice cream maker on display convinced me to check out the variety of frozen desserts being produced in the Snackers parking lot. The gears are moving complete with cartoonish sound effects, but it's just for show. The ice cream is actually made in a different facility for obvious reasons. You'll find about a dozen classic ice cream flavors available in your choice of a cup or cone, including vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, pistachio, mint chip, and other standards. I'm unsure of exact prices, but I paid $7 for a kid's cup and a small cup, so I think it's reasonable for a home-made/handmade product. The rocky road featured a chocolate base with pieces of almonds, chocolate chips, and marshmallows (store-bought), but my daughter's cookies and cream won the flavor test. Both were a bit sweet for my palate and I'd be happy with a kids size serving. The texture was great! It was soft like it had been churned recently, and very creamy without ice crystals. It also seemed to have less air incorporated than your average gas station Thrifty or Breyer's. I'm describing gelato. Maybe it was frozen custard.Stop by for a taste of home-made nostalgia! I don't know hours of operation or any other information on this business because I can't locate it on social media, but I can confirm that they were open around 5pm on Thursday. The location is convenient to Chinatown and The Strip. There is one parking space reserved for ice cream customers just to the right of the truck."

Good for after-3am tacos/burritos. Taco Truck Open 247, Cash and Debit Card taken. Near Fremont Street/DTLV but not walkable, or at least safely. $3.25 tacos, $10.50 burritos. Only taco joint open after 3am in the area. The price, and quality isn't up to my standard but it's definitely decent for Vegas DTLV or Eastside 24 hours. We take what we can get. Drive through is very efficient with 2 lanes. Walk up window is in between the drive thru and taco truck.We've been twice in a roll. First night at 3amish for drunk food, then 9pmish for late dinner to actually recall the experience.$3.25 tacos. (No carnitas here, only al pastor). Buche was cold, and some room temperature warm.$4.75 for lengua and tripa tacos. Lengua was okay and I can reorder it. Tripa was fried and okay too. $10.95 burritos. Comes with rice, beans, cheese and sour cream. +$4-$5 extra if you want half half meat on a burrito. SO got tripa and al pastor. Al pastor was fatty. $3.50 Jamaica drink was good. Not overly sweet like other places. - Red and green sauces, and onion/ciltrano garnishes. Red sauce is orange and not the typical red sauce I'm used to. - The double tortillas are generic and felt like microwaved warmed....no bueno for me. The SO is down to order his burrito again but with only 1 protein next time. You can stand, or drive thru, or pick up for takeout. Most Vegas taco places specialize in birra vs carnitas in LA. It's been difficult to find decent tacos in non-North Vegas areas. We will most likely go back since it's the only place open after 3am in miles and miles, or nearby DTLV.

We really enjoyed the new brick and mortar of Yaqui Zen cuisine. This unique flavors of Yaqui Mexican food taste satisfied my craving for Menudo, Posole, and Mini Sope samplers with Soyrizo, Asada, and Mushrooms Birria toppings. The blue corn and sope crusts are handmade. The soup is very tasty, light, and healthy. The other dishes were samplers of 'seafood'less ceviche samplers and a Mexican lentil soup.This is a vegan restaurant that is serving vegan Mexican food like no other. The vegan menudo is the best one I have ever tasted and tastes like homemade. It is light but flavorful! This vendor has been in operation for 5 years by doing a pop up and acquired quite a few followers. But it was our first time since we don't live here locally.At the end of the meals, don't forget to get yummy vegan cheesecakes from Vegas Vegan Culinary that taste so decadent and rich in many different flavors. Definitely will be back!

Surprised nobody's been talking' y'all up! I'm from NYC and I haven't had Jamaican food that was worth mentioning out here! Went specifically to Sky Canyon Farmers Mkt to visit their stall...I was not disappointed! The Jerk Chkn perfectly spiced (not too hot, the extra jerk sauce was appreciated too! TY!) The slaw and bread were perfect NICE! Smelled and felt like a backyard party! I'll def be talking y'all up! I wish u both much success and blessings in your start up! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!I wanted to follow-up to say that typical Jamaican Jerk is tasty but also much more spicy-hot for me. Chef Ryan & Shanice made a flavorful Jerk that didn't make me tear up but invited me and my partner to want more! Y'all should check'Em out!!! I'll def be back!

"I've heard great things about Yaad Patty and finally got a chance to try them at a local farmer's market. We had already tried another food truck beforehand, so grabbed one regular beef patty to share - they're actually really good sized, bigger than my hand. The dough is crazy flaky, too, so keep it in the paper pouch to avoid making a giant mess. I personally didn't love the beef filling, it seemed fairly one-note. But I am looking forward to finding them again to try their jerk chicken."
