Went today and was referred to this place, also seen all the reviews. I have to tell you from one who knows Mexican food and how to cook it, this by far has to be the worse Mexican food that I have had in the bay area. There was about six of us who went and we all said the same thing. If I was being honest it taste like the night before leftovers. Flies all around flying near the kitchen food area and tables. Do not waste your money boss on this place it was that horrible!

Good food very similar to San Diego style. They have the the classic spices and flavors of a taqueria. Reasonable prices too. They have food trucks around so give them a try.

Every spot has something that's super bomb, if I find it, it's automatically 5 stars and I'll come back for it and ignore everything else. I find it weird how people give this spot low ratings when they rave about one dish and say the other is mediocre, just don't get the mid dish next time. For me it's the Lengua tacos. Juicy and oh so tender. Definitely a Hidden gem and underated.

This place is nested in downtown Alviso. I like going here because it's the last stop for food before taking the boat/kayak out in the water. The tacos and burritos are all good and fresh. The only downside is that they don't sell any drinks on the truck. You have to go to the little market that the truck is adjacent to.

Alviso is a historically Chicanx town that has always struggled to survive next to its huge neighbor, San Jose. One of its treasures exceeds those found in other parts of the South Bay - right here in Alviso next to a modest but well-stocked neighborhood grocery. After you eat here, you'll want to help get this amazing food up to 4.5 or 5.0 stars. One difference between good tacos and great ones is the aroma. These tacos have it all. The flavors next hit you hard: you can't beat their El Pastor and carnitas in tacos and burritos. So after taking that long hike in the nearby salt flats, revitalize yourself at this amazing taco stand.

Food comes quick and service is easy! Food was amazing and everything tasted so good. I loved how spicy their salsa was! Definitely will be back again :)

Cheap eats series: We stopped by for lunch as it was super close to Top Golf. The prices are cheap--haven't seen tacos for less than $3 in a while! I got 2 asada and 1 pastor taco at $2.35 each. The sauce it comes with has a small kick of spice to it, but not too intense. Service was quick and the staff taking our orders was kind. In addition, seating space under a canopy was available on the side of the taco truck. Definitely will come here again! We paid with cash. Note: there was a small market right by the taco truck where we grabbed Jarritos and other snacks from!

This Sunday I went with my wife to the 1 pm redor, sorry but it was the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten in my life, we ordered a carnitas tacos and a plate of carne asada and an order chips and salsa. the chip sauce was only spicy, in the tacos it seemed that the carnitas were reheated by microwave, but the carne asada dish we changed the fried beans for beans from the pot and they smelled soggy as if they were soggy and the roast beef was super heavy little Burned as if they were the leftovers of the meat with which they prepare the tacos, no flavor but more than everything that looked like not fresh meat. Este domingo fui con mi esposa al redor de la 1 pm, lo siento pero fue la peor comida mexicana que he comido en mi vida, pedimos unos tacos de carnitas y un plato de carne asada y un pedido de papas fritas y salsa. la salsa de chips era solo picante, en los tacos parecía que las carnitas se recalentaban en el microondas, pero el plato de carne asada cambiamos los frijoles fritos por frijoles de la olla y olían empapados como si estuvieran empapados y el rosbif estaba super Pesados poco Quemados como si fueran las sobras de la carne con la que preparan los tacos, sin sabor pero más que todo lo que parecía no carne fresca
I think I just had the best meat quesadilla I've ever had in my life. Oh-M-G! I can't tell you exactly what it was that made that quesadilla so amazing. Was it maybe because I ordered it with chorizo for something different? Was it the perfect mix of Mexican cheeses? Or that wonderful roasted Chile sauce drizzled over it? I guess we'll never know, because each bite have some of each of these wonderfulnesses. (not sure that's a real word, sorry, a bit carried away here!!). Yum!!!

My favorite thing here was the horchata, it was very refreshing and tasted better than a lot of places. As for the food it was fine I got one lengua taco and some pozole cause I haven't had it in a while and I was craving. The pozole portion was huge but it wasn't the best tbh but it was a nice place for a big gathering since we came for a baby dedication and we got a whole area to ourselves.

On a beautiful late fall day, I went for a bike ride to Alviso to check out the bay. I was hungry but didn’t want to eat inside a restaurant. When I saw their taco truck I was so happy. I figured it would be ok. Well, I was wrong! My super taco with pastor meat was excellent. Two corn tortillas that were a good size, not the street taco size but not gigantic. Little spicy, fresh lettuce, great overall! I’ll be back with my friends on our next bike ride there.

We grew up here and whenever we want tacos THIS IS THE SPOT! HANDS DOWN! The salsa is so good and your hands will smell like them the rest of the day no matter what you do We have recommended this place to so many and have brought people here just to show them what good tacos are. And yesss you can go into the restaurant for more variety, and even to get the tacos but, THE TACO TRUCK IS WHERE ITS AT !! Delicious every time without fail! Super burritos are delicious too!

Tacos were disgusting!!! The meat taste like the night before, just warmed up!! So nasty. Don't come here and waste your money. 18$ for 3 tacos ha never again! They give you majority toppings more than meat!
