We just stopped here on our way back from Utah to SF. I can honestly say that it was the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. I rarely get burritos, but if I do, I don't get meat but today I wanted a carne asada burrito. The meat!!! It was so juicy and flavorful. The rice and beans tasted like home. This doesn't taste like restaurant food or taco truck food. It tastes like food made at home with love! The tacos de tripa were also very good. I highly recommend stopping here if you want something warm, delicious and full of flavor! Did I mention that my burrito was full of meat!l?! I only wish this place was closer to me! (And imagine, I live where there are taquerias everywhere! Paren aquí a comer. Te prometo que es deliciosa la comida. Como en casa y hecha con mucho amor.

They grill their onions and jalapeños perfectly. Burritos are packed like city buses. Seasoning is like grum-ma used to make?. Definitely would recommend.

Love it. Fresh burrito wrap. Fresh ingredients. Veggie burrito had some nice kick. My friend had asada and said it was "one of the best." Very short ride off I-5 - a new go-to stop when we are driving up or down state.

The food was horrible, the beans were spoiled, I told the lady and she just said don't check them in the morning, I bought them almost at 1:00pm. The food hurt

Gas station food in the middle of getting to LA to Bat Area food truck. They have a variety of entrees other than the tacos and burritos such as torta, mulita, and etc. Yummy tacos for the outskirts. I like how they provide turnips, jalapeños & grilled onions to their tacos. Hits the spot.

Ordered the carne asada, pollo tacos and pollo burrito. So yummy but a bit too spicy for my daughter. In the same parking area as an IHOP and a very clean gas station. Nice pit stop between LA and Bay Area.

Good Mexican food with moderate spicing made fast at a food truck. There is one bench to sit. Ambiance is a noisy, loud, non-stop truck parking area. Real noisy with very loud truck engines. If you are staying at the motels across the street, this is good choice. Burrito was good, quesadilla was good, but in this part of the state, the taste is not 5 star. Prices are more restaurant than food truck.

Food tastes great. I usually drive out from the city just to get food but I will no longer come back. They started increasing the price by a lot. I paid $33 for 5 tacos and 1 burrito. That's basically tourist price. They also charge extra for salsa which I didn't know. Like come on, I couldn't even get salsa after paying $33?

Absolutely fantastic. Stopped by for gas, and was thrilled to see this food truck only 50 yards away! Price was unbeatable. $10 for a jarritos and tacos. The service was great and the lady was really nice and patient (especially considering that the wind made it tricky to hear me!). My food was out in a matter of minutes--I was fed and happy by the time everyone else in my party had received their food from the various local fast food joints they decided to go to.The meat was delicious and fresh, and the perfect little boost to get me through the drive. I would even go out of my way to swing by here as a gas stop to grab some fresh tacos. It's rare to find a joint at that level of quality on the road, and I'm glad that I've got another place on Yelp to refer back to on my next grapevine-traversing trip!
