Tacos El Champu offers anything mexican food related that can fit in a shell can be found at the food truck. They have a variety of street taco options (I can’t decide if I love the shrimp or asada street tacos the most), burritos as big as your face, crispy quesadillas, and a plethora of other mouth watering options. Don’t forget to grab some of their mouth-watering salsa with anything you order!
