"My favorite burrito in Northern California! This taco truck is absolutely killing the taco/burrito game. Every other taco stand vendor/business owner needs to come and eat from this truck.

"My pal Lee ate half the sandwich I got for lunch leaving both of us still hungry, so he says he'll treat us at his favorite taco truck, El Roy's Taco Truck.. It's just down the road he says, so we jump in his truck and it's full of hay bales stacked 5 high...then he says...since we're here let's just unload these first down in the barn, you get the gates. Well, we got that done and we're on our way, then he says...ohh... I gotta stop at the feed store and load up on alfalfa sacks, it'll just take a second. Well, we loaded 100, 50lb. sacks of alfalfa onto his truck, then he says...Hell, we may as well just go unload it first...okay. Well, we got that stuff barned up nice and neat, and he says to me ...Well...we gonna go eat or what..don't drag your feet! Now....we're finally our way, and he whips into the first fuel station and says ..we're on empty...can I use your credit card, because that alfalfa put my card over it's limit. Anyway, I paid for the 35 gallons of diesel, and I really didn't want to hear anymore stories when we got to the taco truck, so I paid for lunch too. The tacos from El Roy's Truck were Amazing! On our way back to Lee's, I noticed him eyeballing the Chevron stations mini mart and knew right away what he was thinking...so I said...Hey, Lee why don't you pull on in, and I'll get you a 12 pack of Coors for helping me out today. Those tacos were "
