The short answer
A line reading CLV* TAQUERIA EXPRESS documents an in-person food purchase completed at a mobile food truck, pop-up street vendor, or festival food tent using a handheld Clover Flex card reader.
Recognizing Mobile Food Vendor Transactions
CLV* TAQUERIA EXPRESS on your statement means you paid at a mobile food truck or outdoor vendor stall that runs a Clover Flex handheld terminal. Clover is a point-of-sale system owned by Fiserv, and the CLV* prefix is how their card-processing network labels the transaction to your bank. The actual seller is a local merchant — the taqueria, food stand, or festival booth you visited in person.
This charge appears after walk-up orders at street taco trucks, outdoor community fairs, farmers market food stalls, and brewery taproom food vendors. The Clover Flex reader accepts chip cards, contactless tap-to-pay, and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. The dollar amount on your statement should match your food order total plus any tip you selected on the handheld screen.
If the charge looks unfamiliar, check your calendar and location history for the transaction date. The Clover receipt lookup tool at clover.com/receipt lets you enter your card details to pull up an itemized digital receipt showing the vendor's actual business name. If you genuinely did not make this purchase, contact your card issuer to report it — fraudulent food truck transactions are uncommon but do occur at high-traffic events where skimming is more likely.

Reconciling Mobile Food Vendor Purchases
Check transaction timestamps against weekend outdoor activities or festivals. If you attended a street fair, brewery event, or farmers market around the charge date, the CLV* descriptor almost certainly corresponds to a food or beverage purchase there.
- Review your calendar and location history for the day of the charge.
- Recall visits to food truck lots, farmer markets, outdoor breweries, or street festivals.
- Check whether the final total reflects your food order plus selected tip gratuity.
- Search mobile text messages for an electronic Clover SMS receipt.
