Most Disliked
Some customers mention that while the food is superb, seating can sometimes be a challenge during peak hours, especially on busy weekends. This may lead to some patrons feeling a bit rushed during their dining experience. A few diners also note that the green sauce, while flavorful, can have an unexpected kick; those sensitive to spice may find it a surprise. Occasionally, the limited space around the food truck can feel cramped. Lastly, being a food truck, hours of operation might differ depending on weather or events, leading to confusion for some who wish to encounter these delicious offerings on a whim.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! Delicious, good prices, fast, friendly, extremely clean, easy parking. We got steak and chicken tacos, a steak burrito, and horchata. All came out super fast and tasted fresh, delicious, and perfectly seasoned - not too salty. The tacos had 2 tortillas each which I love because most places only give 1. Generous portions of meat. There is a nice seating area with lots of space. They even have an outdoor sink you can wash your hands at. Best of all, taco Tuesday is $2/tacos and on Wednesdays they have $6 burritos and quesadillas. Can’t beat that! Definitely making this my go to taco spot now.

Food was delicious! I ordered steak sopes and everything was cooked very well. I got the agua de piña(Pineapple) and it tasted delicious. If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food in Valrico then come to La Veracruzana food truck! Will be coming back every time we are in Tampa.

Awesome food! Freshly made and simply delicious. Ordered three chicken fajitas -- lots of chicken! All three of us agreed the fajitas, rice and beans were FANTASTICO! So very, very good! UPDATE: My son and I tried their veggie burritos! Just like the other reviewer said, "It was to die for!" The owner has a secret that I haven't found anyone else do before serving the burrito. You can also get meat (lots of varieties) burritos. I will warn you that these burritos will start a "craving" only this place can satisfy. Really, it is that good!

Delicious food and reasonable prices. The green sauce is a little spicy but good 😊
