“From the streets to our own four walls – this dream has been years in the making! We can’t wait to welcome you into our new brick-and-mortar home where you’ll find all your beloved street tacos PLUS an expanded menu we’re still perfecting just for you.This journey wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you who supported us along the way. You believed in us when we were just starting out with one food truck, and now you get to be part of this incredible next chapter!”

About Moy’s
As mentioned above, Moy’s Food From the Streets is known for its street tacos, with options like Pollo Loco (chicken), Al Pastor (pork), El Toro (ground sirloin), and Chorizo con Papas (sausage and potatoes). They serve breakfast tacos, too! According to the food truck’s website, founder Moy Yescas was born and raised in Mexico City, so he has a “soft spot” for Mexican street food.
Moy moved out of Mexico in 1997 to help with some family-owned restaurants in Minneapolis, eventually relocating to Cedar Rapids in 2008. That’s where he met his partner Puchi (Angelique) Yescas, as they were both working in finance at the time…
