Knoxville, TN — Authentic Mexican food truck

Our story

It's not just food. It's a trip to the streets of México.

Every taco starts with a hand-pressed corn tortilla, seared on the comal. Then the good stuff: al pastor off the trompo, juicy asada, slow birria — piled with onion, cilantro, a spoon of salsa from the molcajete and a squeeze of lime.

That's the flavor that brings la banda together, at the truck, on the curb, between friends. Sabor que une.
