Coming from a real estate background as an apartment locator, Martha Benavides, owner of Tacos De Prisa Y Mas, said she has had her food trailer in Leander for a little over a year now. Tacos De Prisa Y Mas translates to “tacos in a hurry and more,” which the business illustrates in its logo—a taco lady with her purse and a coffee.
Although new to the restaurant business, Benavides said she has been cooking for years. She said she learned partially from her mother and taught herself the rest, developing a passion for it. Benavides attributes her good cooking to “having the hand for it.”
“My sister and I can make the same recipe, have the same ingredients, but mine always comes out better,” she said. “I think I just have that hand [for] cooking that it just comes out good.”
Tacos De Prisa Y Mas has several customers who visit the trailer regularly, and they enjoy the authentic tortillas made from scratch, the homemade sauce and portion sizes, Benavides said.
