Arguably, the best tacos in Billings.

I first heard about Crazy Taco MT food truck a few years ago, when a friend who knows how much I love great tacos mentioned, "You HAVE to try them! They're SO good."

The first time I tracked down Kaj's food trailer, I was honestly a little skeptical. I know... never judge a book by its cover. And I'm glad I didn't. My first order, I told him I like my tacos spicy. He recommended the Jamaican Me Twerk. I paid and patiently waited for my order of three street-sized tacos.

They. Were. Amazing.

Hooked on Crazy Taco, I would frequently drive across Billings when he posted where he'd be serving that day. When my brother came to town to visit once, I told him, "You gotta try this place out." Kaj was set up at Par 3 that day and my sibling and his spouse agreed that these tacos were some of the best they've ever had.
