Along the way, they seem to always get into a bit of trouble while helping those in need and doing the right thing against impossible odds. Join the fun as Punk Taco and the band do battle against the evil King Boogar to help reunite their new friend, Philip, with his family, while discovering the mysterious, magical powers of the Evocaja.
