Tasted so good~wow~ the portions of food was so big I’m still eating my burrito & still have 1/2 left!! When menu says ‘Super size’ they mean it! Excellent👍😋“

“The Cabo's Phat Cheese burger is the best burger in town. The meat is hand pressed, seasoned and about 4 inches across with shredded Mexican cheeses melted over it. I add Avocado and Bacon to top it off. You will not be sorry for choosing a hamburger at this restaurant...“

“I’m hesitant to write a review because I don’t want anyone else to discover how good this place is! This was honestly the best authentic Mexican street food I’ve had in Northern California. The restaurant itself is located in the back of a residential neighborhood garage. The inside looks like a mini restaurant with industrial grade kitchen appliances and a few restaurant style tables with chairs. We ordered 6 tacos and a gringas (pictured) and the total was $26. The food was extremely good. They also had homemade salsas of various spices. It is absolutely worth the visit if you’re passing by Clearlake!

Parking: It’s in a residential neighborhood so parking can sometimes be tricky“

Full Meal Deal:
Driving back from Clear Lake, I was starving. There isn't much out this way once you leave the lake. So I searched some for a possible "taco truck," and found this gem.

Location. Its located in a small lot with nothing around but small town feel and quiet. There are a few picnic tables nearby which made for a nice spot to observe, drink a Mexican Coke, and eat some tacos. I didn't see a sole. For me, that was ideal driving down the 16. There is plenty of free parking to be had.

Service. The proprietress was kind, helpful, and fast. The truck appeared clean, and was powered by a truck in front. The trailer appears to be there regularly. But it is a trailer. Nothing sexy here, except the food.

Food. I've eaten at 100s of taco truck across California, Arizona, Oregon, and Idaho, and this was a good one. It's mostly tacos, but I recall Tortas as well. There may have been Quesadillas. I like the focus really. I took an Asada, Pastor, and actually an Barria. EACH was excellent. I like Pastor, but not love. This was GOOD Pastor. I wolfed down each quickly, and almost went back for more. Typically street taco flavors/styles with fresh onions and cilantro. Various salsas are provided. I used the green sauce, which had a good kick. The flavors were deep and savory. Really, it was excellent.

Bottom-line. Would I go back? Absolutely, I hope to do just that. But I'm not out that way often, so maybe not. If you find yourself on the 16, hit it. You won't go wrong.“
