50 Best Food Trucks near Altadena

“Incredible quality and love the fact that it’s open later than a lot of spots in the area! Definitely among the best burritos in Pasadena/Altadena- if you’re looking for a good spot this is it! Also very generous and innovative vegetarian options amidst more classic, authentic choices as well!“

“I found them on Atlantic Blvd in Monterey Park on my way home in this chilling night. I've had a long day at work and my belly was flat. I need food. So I stopped in front of their yellow truck and Hazel told me that chicken plate is really good. And she didn't lie to me. It is beyond amazing! I've never tried any Salvatore food but this is way too good. Definitely beyond my expectations! If you thought you don't like Hispanic food, you should try this place. Chef Will really knows about food. He saw me shaking in the cold breeze so he gave me a saucer of sample fries. It tastes like heaven. Seriously!!! I'm not kidding. Chef Will knows what is real cuisine. The seasoning is not too crazy but just perfect for flavor. Highly recommended!“

“Fresh & delicious seafood on the street, food truck.

Parking: Street parking either in front or back of food truck so best to be nearby for pick-up & eat home.

Wheelchair accessibility: If you do not mind street parking either in front or behind the food truck & can tolerate eating messy food outside instead of the comfort of your home.“

“I recently visited Curb Grill in Montrose, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! This family-owned gem is a must-visit for anyone craving high-quality food in a welcoming environment. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla with sausage and bacon, and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had—packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients, perfectly cooked eggs, and a generous portion that left me satisfied. Every bite was a testament to the care and quality they put into their dishes.

The restaurant itself was impeccably clean, from the dining area to the counter, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The bright, well-maintained space made the whole experience even more enjoyable. What truly set Curb Grill apart, though, was the owner, Albert, whose friendliness made us feel like part of the family from the moment we walked in. His warm hospitality and genuine enthusiasm for connecting with customers elevated the visit to something special.

I wholeheartedly recommend Curb Grill to all Montrose locals looking for a fantastic meal and a great vibe. This place has earned a spot as a regular go-to for me and my family—we’ll definitely be back time and time again“

“Moved from New York to Glendale, I thought of the best chicken grilled sandwiches in Brooklyn!!Now I am so happy that found Bun and Blanket who provide the best burger and chicken grill in my life, sorry Brooklyn!!!near the draft pilsner beer! Next, I would like to recommend opening a restaurant and I wish my dream come true! Thank you for such a satisfying and delicious food!!!“

“Buenísimos las mejores carnitas“

“Super tasty & halal 👌 highly recommended!“

“One of the best coffee spots in Pasadena! Love coming here to get my caffeine fix in. I've tried most of the menu and you honestly can't go wrong picking any drink. They offer hot and iced coffee as well as matcha and a few pastries. The owners are extremely kind people who clearly love what they do and it shows. They also give back to the community which speaks volumes. I cannot recommend this cute little coffee truck enough.“

“Excelente servicio y comida de calidad ☑️“

“Esta muy buena la comida Recomendado al 💯👌🏽😋“

“My go-to taco truck in the area. It’s in a small lot but there’s free and metered parking on the street. Fast, friendly service. Street tacos are small but filling. Cash only. Meat is well cooked and the ingredients are fresh. Highly recommend. Enjoy.“

“Love all their Mexican Fusion drinks & especially the sugar free!!! Wide variety, there’s something for everyone ☕️ Plus everyone is very sweet♥️“

“I stopped by this taco truck after my usual taco stand wasn’t open—and I’m glad I gave it a try. I ordered the buche, carnitas, pastor, and cabeza tacos. The carnitas and cabeza were the best—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right.

I also had the carne asada fries, which were hearty and satisfying. The guacamole in the carne asada fries is seriously addictive, and their salsa, along with the pickled jalapeños and red onions, added a fresh, tangy kick.

At $2.50 per taco, the prices are reasonable for the quality. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“Bardzo smaczne jedzenie. Na moją prośbę dostałem bardzo smaczną wersję z Chorizo i Wieprzowiną. Zdecydowanie polecam“

“the people that work there are very polite and I love there sopes my favorite but in all honesty I give them 100%. ....thank you“

“I love this place. The food is delish, made with care in their little pop up tent & the prices can't be beat so it's easy to leave them a great tip, which they totally deserve. The pastor & asada are both so excellent that i always want them & haven't tried anything else I like things spicy & they don't scrimp on the heat.??“

“na these tacos are BOMB, so much flavor and i asked for my pastor a bit burnt (that’s how i like it) and they gave yummy crunchy pieces with onion and cilantro and pineapple pieces on top with a side of red and green salsa y ya saben que son buenos“

“We ordered the croissantwich w/ avocado and the breakfast burriot w/ chorizo, both were 10/10, the burrito was one of the best in LA imo. Food came out quick and Adam was super friendly, great lowkey spot. Dont forget to get the salsa verde“

“We are from out of state & have family in San Gabriel so whenever we are visiting we look up the Tacos Jalisco truck. We don't have many (if any) food trucks where we are from, and I have been to MX several times and had some real live tacos, and these guys are spot on. I highly recommend!“

“Tacos La Guera is a fantastic taco truck that you absolutely need to try! The moment I approached, the delicious aromas promised a great meal, and they did not disappoint.

The menu features a great selection of tacos, and I couldn’t resist trying a few different kinds. The carne asada was incredibly tender and flavorful, while the al pastor had the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Each taco was topped with fresh ingredients, and the homemade salsas were a delightful addition!

The service was quick and friendly, which is always appreciated when you're on the go. The vibe is casual and inviting, making it a great stop for a satisfying meal.

If you’re in the area and craving authentic tacos from a food truck, Tacos La Guera is the place to be. I can't wait to come back for more!“

“Good fish taco truck. They also have other seafood options like ceviche and tostadas. Can definitely recommend the fish tacos and shrimp empanadas.

Service was good. Orders can take a while so be patient. There's street parking up and down the block.“

“I had the torta birrieria and it was phenomenal!!! I highly recommend it!“

“absolutely great service always have Smiles on their faces the food is fantastic portions are very generous definitely my go-to spot after work highly recommended“

“I come here a lot with my husband and friends but today was very disappointing. I ordered a torta de asada and was very upset. 5 pieces of black aguacate and half a piece of tomato for the entire torta. Than my husband ordered some tacos and the meat wasn’t seasoned and half of the meat was burned. We are very disappointed we have never been disappointed before this is one of our favorite places to go eat. Today the people working their looked new we paid $37 for our food and are upset.“

“I was lucky enough to go when they had elotes. Always love getting Adrian's tacos. Also they are always very friendly. Definitely recommend.“

“Their flour tortillas are made fresh on the spot and have a soft chewiness you rarely find in LA. I tried the carne asada burrito and was blown away by the grilled meat and spicy salsas. The outdoor setup is casual—just picnic tables and an awning—but it gets crowded fast. Staff is fast and friendly. It’s hard to go anywhere else once you’ve had their tortillas“

“This taco truck is hands down my favorite spot.
• Lengua: Not diced, but served as a thick slab with the perfect balance of flavor and chew. If the world ended tomorrow, this would be on my last meal list.
• Nachos with everything + carne asada: The asada, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and cheese hit perfectly with the round nacho chips. Add the creamy salsa verde and every bite is on point.
• Pastor: Juicy, consistent, and never dry. Exactly what you want when the late-night munchies hit.

I haven’t made it to the seafood yet because my go-to orders are too good, but I’ve seen people rave about the fish tacos. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. Just remember to bring cash for tips. Parking is easy on the street or library during non business hours.“

“The food honestly is a five star . Taste like actual restaurant. The only reSon i didnt slap the 5 stars was because i thought it could have been a few bucks cheaper. Afterall it was late and itd to go so thetes no throwing out trash or cleaning after us. Two thumbs up. .“

“(Translated by Google) Cheese birrias tacos Dora two. It. Better. Birria Fries Chicken soup birria nachos The best food chalk we coming back (Original) Quesa birrias tacos Dora dos. Lo. Mejor. Birria Fries Consome Birria nachos The best food chalk we coming back“

“Very comfortable place to be in. Everyone was relaxed and you could hear the staff in the kitchen communicating getting the orders out. They have good lighting, a larger modern menu board with a great selection. They had light hearted music playing and a big tv to watch the Dodger games. I was surprised to see Birria on the menu so had to get that for sure! I think I will may this my goto spot a couple days a week so I can eat better for less and no dishes to wash.“

“Avenue 26 Taco Stand in Lincoln Heights is a hole-in-the-wall spot that has some of the best tacos in LA. Their al pastor tacos are unbeatable, with perfectly seasoned meat and fresh toppings. The lines can get long, but it’s totally worth the wait. It’s a no-frills joint, but the flavor is out of this world. Definitely a must-try for taco lovers“

“Delicious tacos and burritos that always hit the spot and quick!

We love seeing whenever the Chingon truck pulls up in the Arts District! Always have to stop by and grab some fire tacos.

The workers are always super helpful and friendly, always a good time whenever the truck comes through!

The food is delicious!!“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“Look: It’s been a minute since a burrito slayed me, but Lupita’s did. The al pastor with salsa verde, avocado, and cheese (sour cream is also included, but I thought that would be too much) was incredible. Add in some friendly service and this is a great stop if you’re downtown!“

“The food here is delicious and the service is always fast I think I’ve tried everything on the menu and it never disappoints my favorite meat is the asada Al pastor and birria
Ooohhh and they have one of the best champurados ever make sure to give them a try you’ll be a returning customer!!“

“Food îs very good eveything îs autentic and best fresh food. They remember nu order and Take care of me with LOVE . Ask FOR discount and They got u right“

“Delicious food and great service! Mariscos Linda is a hidden gem in City Terrace. The seafood is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the flavors are amazing—especially the aguachile and shrimp tacos. The staff is friendly and the place has a chill, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!“

“I came over to El Flamin Taco after leaving a concert at The Echo. I ordered one chicharron, one al pastor, and one asada taco. When they came out, I loaded them up with pico de gallo, cilantro and onion, pickled red onion, salsa, and fresh lemon.

The tacos were all very tasty, though I think my ranking from favorite to least favorite is: chicharron, asada, al pastor. That’s not to say the al pastor was bad—it was actually really tasty. I just really enjoyed the chicharron and asada. The toppings were super fresh and the salsas were both delicious.

This is a very yummy taco spot. I’ll have to come back and try out some other items, like the California burrito and the Cubana torta.“

“place to be on Taco Tuesdays“

“excellent food with homemade pressed tortillas“

“Great tacos. I had 9 total. Asada and al pastor we’re the best. I loved the chicken and lengua as well. Will definitely stop by again next time I’m in the area“

“Accidentally found this place.......so glad I did! Awesome!!!!!!“

“las redes sociales tienen un potencial enorme...quise venir a disfrutar quizas parte de comida tijuanense...es una lastima que empleadas como esta echen a perder todo...pedí 3 tacos y una coca...y no me puso la coca en la orden...me hizo esperar el tiempo que quiso para darme mi cambio...mientras esperaba vi como le hizo mal otra orden a un señor con discapacidades...y argumentaba que no podía cambiar la orden hasta que viniera un manager...y no somos perfectos..lo se..pero la actitud es muy importante...al estar apoyando al sr en silla de ruedas...ella volteo hacia a mi y me dijo que no me metiera donde no me llaman..total..me voy decepcionado“

“todo un manjar recomiendo todo lo que venden aqui delicioso“

“One of the best bean and veggie burritos I’ve ever ate. Yes some places can mess up a simple bean burrito but not this hole in the wall.“
