We heard about this place from people around Merced, so when we had the opportunity to try it while in Le grand we took it. It was damn good!!!! We went back twice in one day!!! Theres not much sitting area and they only take cash. The little liquor store next to them willet you get cash back, but she doesnt charge a flat rate. She charges a fee depending on how much you spend in her liquor store...pretty shady if you ask me. So take cash before you go. Le Grand doesnt have a Chase or BofA around. You wont be disappointed with the tacos or burritos!!! They were amazing!!! The ladies cooking inside were very nice and friendly!! Just know that Le Grand is FULL of gang members. Thankfully we didnt encounter any issues. In fact, the people we did encounter at the truck were all very nice people. Still, tread carefully. Get your food and go.

The food is awesome. Marco and his family were friendly and helpful. We learned the taco truck has been in this spot for 10 years. An awesome place to stop on the way to Yosemite.

Absolutely delicious! Never pass up the opportunity for their food when driving thru the area. Great and friendly service. This is a taco truck so no indoor seating. Their quesadillas are loaded with cheese meat and all the goodies.

Tacos are bomb but the asada burritos are like if I asked for extra extra beans. I'm not sure if it has rice in it normally anywhere they put rice, but if they did here, I wouldn't know. That's how much beans it has. i give this burrito a 3. it's still good but just way too many mashed beans.

We stopped here on our way to Yosemite, and it was so tasty that we went out of our way to stop here on our way back. The BBQ pork tacos were the best. Consider calling in and ordering ahead. It can take a bit of time to get your order together.
