We have ordered from this food truck a few times and it never disappoints. The quesadillas are cheesy, fresh, and delicious. The quesabirria tacos with consomé were also amazing. The staff is always fun and friendly. We look forward to the food every time the truck is near us!

I love this food truck! The only tacos I will eat now. Be careful their addicting! The burrito was fantastic with the strawberry jamaica or the blueberry jamaica. The prices are perfect. I am so happy to have this truck close by. The green salsa and red are also so good. I love cilantro on my tacos, too!!!! 10/10⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The cook said he doesn't cook them with so much fat they taste flawless

Honestly I can’t find anything wrong with this place. The burritos are phenomenal, you are allowed to customize and add to or remove items you don’t like. I have tried their burritos (a couple different ones) and their tacos. (Still plenty of other food choices I need to try) their lemonades are absolutely delicious and I can’t get enough of that green sauce. 1000/10 highly recommend.

So damn delicious! Got so much tasty food at a great price and the service was outstanding. Came here for the quesabirrias and Ramen, even the mini size was a great proportion. Also ordered the Dr. Burrito, and flavored lemonades. Awesome awesome awesome! Fresh and delicious! Will be coming back for the specials of the day

So I found this place through an app by accident. I ordered through the app and I messed my own order up so I decided to just give it a try still and the owner hooked me up for the misunderstanding which was super nice of him. I got two tacos de Carne Asada and two de Al Pastor. Let me tell you guys the flavor really surprised me. The salsa as well, I was expecting nothing but heat but it had flavor and mild heat. I was expecting some regular tacos, nothing that would stand out. But these did stand out to me as a Mexican who has ate tacos my whole life. I will be paying Dr Taco Therapy another visit.

Stopped by on my way home after seeing Amadio ranch post that they were there! I was not disappointed! Two Quesabirria tacos and Consume for $12! And they were very hearty portions! But they really won me over by putting the onions and cilantro separate on the side – I’m not a fan of cilantro But I do like the bite of the onion so I usually just deal with the cilantro, but I was able to put this onions on without the cilantro

Huge rave to Dr Tacos food truck! I’ve been here twice now and definitely will keep coming back. The first time I was recommended the Doctor Burrito which was amazing and the size of my forearm!. The second time I wanted to try the tacos and they were so bomb ! He also has fresh aguas frescas like lemonade and jamaica. Once it’s done, the owner bring your order right to your car so you don’t have to stand in the heat.
