Stop by Venezuelan-Mexican food truck Orale Pana for tacos, hamburgers and fries smothered in meat.

There are six protein options for the tacos and tostadas, including shrimp, pork and chorizo. The signature Orale Pana burger is topped with egg, lettuce, tomato, papitas, queso blanco and avocado. 

Keep up with the truck's whereabouts on its Facebook page. 

With a five-star rating out of nine reviews on Yelp, Orale Pana has been getting positive attention.

Yelper Luis R. wrote, "This is probably some of the best street food I've ever had! Staff is very friendly, price is OK and portions are big! I highly recommend it to others."

Paulet D. noted, "The tostada (crunchy flat tortilla topped with steak, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, cilantro, onions and sauce) was good. What gives it the most flavor is the sauce on top of the tostada. The papitas on the burger give it an extra crunch, which balances out the whole burger."

Orale Pana is open from 6:45 p.m.–1 a.m. from Monday-Thursday and Sunday and 6:45 p.m.–3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

The Taco Stand is a Mexican spot that serves guacamole, sauces, burritos, Mexican-flavored popsicles, imported beer, Rosarito-styled churros and, of course, tacos.

Besides this Miami location, the Taco Stand can be found in in La Jolla, downtown San Diego, Encinitas and Orange County.

Look for the carne asada, made with flame-grilled Angus steak, cilantro and onions, and served with guacamole and salsa. Want something a little prickly? The nopal taco offers flame-grilled cactus, melted cheese, cilantro sauce, tomato and avocado.

The Taco Stand's current Yelp rating of 4.5 stars out of 87 reviews indicates positive attention from users.

Diana S. noted, "Right in the midst of the Wynwood Art District. Tacos were fully loaded of condiments. It was delicious. Tacos were a bit bigger than the mini tacos that I expected, but very good. Everything is freshly made."

Yelper Ileana M. wrote, "I was satisfied after three tacos and only had to pay $10. Good value, and you're nearby plenty of dessert places. Their vibe is on point. You'll find yourself dancing to the Latin music before you even step in."

The Taco Stand is open from 11 a.m.–10 p.m. from Monday-Thursday and Sunday and 11 a.m.–1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Yelper Wendy A., who was one of the first users to visit Pasilla Tacos on April 29, wrote, "Steak tacos are juicy and perfectly seasoned. Adobo verde chicken was cooked at its best with a delicious, beautiful and tasty green sauce. The flavor was incredible and that cilantro sauce on top was the best."

Jefferson J. noted, "The best steak tacos in town! It's very addicting and the customer service is top of the line. I don't have to wait long for the food and the guacamole and chips are great."
