  Sometimes, all I want is a food truck dinner. Luckily for me, such a place exists right by where I live.
  
  Enter Taqueria Buenavista's Food Truck. This is always my first go to when I have the itch for something good, cheap and quick (depending on the crowd outside).
  
  I tried to think of a time when I was disappointed with my order here, and honestly I can't really recall any particular time. The only thing I can think of is sometimes toward the end hours of their shift, they'll run out of certain meats and ingredients. So I'd suggest getting your order in before the dinner bell goes off.
  
  About the food -- it's delicious. The tacos here are absolutely great. They come fully loaded with choice of meat, tomatoes, lettuce and a lime to sprinkle on it (use it -- you won't be let down). My other two favorites are the nachos, which are also heavy hitters with chips, cheese sauce, sour cream, lettuce, jalapenos, tomatoes, choice of meat. The portion size is pretty big and you get a lot for the price you pay. My third option is the burrito, which is pretty standard but is only five bucks and it's again pretty big for what you pay for.
  
  So if you're looking for a good place to go with a lot of flavor and not a lot of cash, I'd suggest stopping by this mobile house of goodness!

  I have seen this food truck here for a while so while I was in the area I stopped for lunch. The menu has all the Mexican staples with the most expensive item topping out at $7.50 which is the nachos. I decided to order something that I usually never order, the tostada along with one taco.
  
  The steak taco was two corn tortillas, steak, onions and cilantro. Steak was plentiful and falling out ok, nothing super special. A taco for me is four bites and three of the four bites had chewy gristle in them which is disappointing and a turn off for me.
  
  My tostada was Al Pastor and piled high with pork, beans, lettuce, tomato and a pile of cheese. The shells were super crunchy from the fryer and two to hold up to hefty tostada. The tostada was tasty with all the crunchy and soft textures, clearly the winner over the steak taco.
  
  I have been to the restaurant and the West Allis truck, the truck about 15 times and I have never had any gristle in my food. The two trucks have different menus and I think the West Allis truck is better.

  They have customers lined up no matter what the weather is.  That made me wonder what everyone was waiting to get in the cold.  I stopped and got the steak tacos.  Don't forget the green sauce!  It's all delicious and crazy cheap.  Their horchata is a great treat too.  They are here most days by 11:30am.  If you don't see the truck they are probably having engine issues.  I enjoy the steak so much that I haven't tried anything else yet.

  I love me some Taco truck. And Buenavista is one of the best around.  Their prices are good, the food is delicious, and the ingredients are clean (real food).
  
  My favorite lunch is a tostada and taco.  And at $2.50 and $2 each respectively, you leave full and happy for less than $5!
  
  You can call in your order to reduce your wait time.  However, in my experience, they won't answer the phone if they are busy. That's a bummer because when they are busy is when you would want to reduce the wait time the most.
