In Tacos We Trust
Taco Tuesday,
every day.
El Jefe rolled Columbus' first taco truck onto the streets in 2018 and opened the shop on Williams Road in 2021. Same hands, same salsa, same Southern California street food the Chattahoochee Valley never had before.
The ones people drive
across town for
Grilled to order on gluten-free white corn. Then work your way up to the birria and its consommé, the al pastor, the carne asada fries.
Elote
$5.50
Grilled sweet corn under crema, cotija, chili powder, and a squeeze of lime. The taste of a SoCal summer, in Georgia.
Street corn
MiniChangas

Chicken, rice, and cheese rolled crispy, finished with crema, pico, and cilantro. Two if you're sharing. Four if you're honest.

Queso y Más

For the table
Jeff, Angie,
and a little SoCal
in Georgia
Angie brings twenty years in Southern kitchens and the drive that holds it all together. Jeff, El Jefe, brings twenty years in the Army and a Southern California childhood built on street tacos. Together they gave Columbus the taco truck it never had.
We bring the
truck to you
Weddings, work lunches, birthdays, anything worth gathering for. Dressed-up taco bars, burrito boxes, or full service. If you can round up fifty hungry people, El Jefe can find you.
