“Platillos para todos tipos de eventos.“

“Highly recommended. A great place to have comfort food. I had the best quesadilla I've ever had! A very clean place. Family operated. Can speak English and accept phone payments. The to-go containers are recyclable. Clean tables with shade to eat next to the truck. conveniently located on University Avenue next to Shell gas station. If you happen to pass the station while going toward Dumbarton Bridge 84, I highly recommend stopping by. Even if you are not hungry take it home or to work. I guarantee you will like it and come back. Very nice and friendly staff. I'm planning to try their other foods and report.“

“Great food and excellent service“

“Baba Kitchen is one of the best Nepali food trucks I’ve tried! The food is fresh, flavorful, and tastes just like homemade Nepali cooking. The momo were juicy and perfectly seasoned, and every dish was full of authentic flavors. I love jhol momo. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly and welcoming. If you’re craving authentic Nepali street food, Baba Kitchen is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Unique food truck in Bay Area! This isn’t just a food joint but it’s an experience!

Vegetarian reviewer:
To start with, I am not usually a big fan of too many eggs on my plate, but I thoroughly enjoyed their innovative creations. They have interesting dishes with paneer and chicken as well.

We ordered two dishes-
Leela lasun keema - This dish was intriguing, with cheese, grated egg, and a rich, spicy gravy. The portion size was generous; a single person won’t be able to finish it with just three breads. It was very filling, we took back home the leftover and enjoyed it later with some rotis.

They have another version of this- “kachu” with runny eggs instead of grated eggs.. well thought option!

Volcano egg biryani-
The dish is as interesting as its name suggests. The base is an omelette, and the rice is flavorful with bell peppers, finely chopped veggies, and aromatic spices. The center is with a tomato-based curry. The cheese on the side was amazing, and I loved it.

The spicy guava drink is super refreshing with a playful mix of spice, salt, sourness, and the sweetness of guava. I really enjoyed it!

They have music playing and the place is lit, creating a total vibe for spending time in the evening on a lazy weekend/ after work, or post-workout. The food is pure indulgence and covered our protein requirements with eggs, along with some fat to burn off. Kinda guilt free.

Also, they have games, garba events and other many interesting things going on at different times. Never disappoints!

Ask the owners for their recommendations based on your preferences. They are very nice to talk to and are super passionate about this truck, having brought something they loved from New York to the Bay Area.“

“Best tacos in Mountain view right now, I order cabeza and chorizo and add pineapple there are too good I have to stop by twice a week sometimes, the chicken tacos are also good, I call ahead because they get very busy and also because I call at the last minute.

It is a gas station with limited parking there ara a couple of tables and chairs but it's mostly to go.

The green salsa is the best, super spicy if you don't like spicy don't even try that one, the one on the top right corner is the nonspicy.“

“Very tasty and reasonably priced food. The owner and chef Amir is an amazing guy who always makes you feel welcomed and is very dedicated towards his craft.“

“Had to work around the area so i looked around for a quick bite & came across this place. Let me tell you that every bite i took was just so full of flavor & you can tell everything is cooked fresh. Something you dont come across often. Lots of taco trucks could be hit or miss but this one definitely hit the spot. Will be coming back!“

“One of the best veggie burritos. For many places veggie burritos is an afterthought but not this place. They put avocado, beans, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, etc. and the combination tastes great. Also it's a nice food truck with cute tables on the side.“

“This is my favorite place to eat Indian food in the bay area! And that's saying a lot given the number of Indian restaurants available. I especially love their bhelpuri and paranthas. The food feels home made and is always hot, fresh, comforting, and delicious. The staff is very kind and sweet. Don't miss out.“

“Great people and great food. There’s events every night. So fun“

“I’ve bought from here many times！it’s arguably the best Mexican food in the area. Whether it’s the tacos or the burritos, everything is incredibly delicious—far better than your average Mexican spot.“

“este es lo mejor de lo que probado la recomiendo por editor de facebook el bagabundo i ueces el cobi 19 i Rigoberto Muñoz ochoa ide las páginas del amor de mi vid“

“Just happened upon Paper Platez, so very glad we did!! Food was phenomenal service was great. It was fun talking to the owners.“

“OLHSO Truck isn’t just a food truck—it’s a fully automated robotic kitchen on wheels. Fresh ingredients are prepped daily by human chefs, but the actual cooking is done by a high-tech robot loaded with Chef Han’s perfected recipes. Once an order is placed, the truck’s system stir-fries everything while en route, so the food is piping hot and fresh just minutes before arrival.

For something made entirely by a machine, the food is impressively flavorful and well-executed.

Wagyu – Boneless wagyu short ribs marinated in a rich house sauce, stir-fried with fresh veggies. The meat is tender, packed with umami, and perfectly caramelized.

Dak Galbi – Chicken stir-fried in a gochujang-based spicy sauce with plenty of chewy rice cakes. The heat is customizable, but the deep, smoky flavor always shines.

SEOUL Food – A bold combination of kimchi, pork belly, soybean paste, and shrimp, all stir-fried together for layers of intense, savory flavor.

Japchae – Glass noodles tossed with mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and a sweet-savory soy sauce. Light yet satisfying.

Orders are placed through their app, and the robotic kitchen times the cooking process to ensure food arrives fresh—not sitting in a takeout container for half an hour. The whole concept is futuristic and efficient, and for a meal made entirely by a robot, the taste is surprisingly impressive.“

“Get the Diablo Chicken! You won’t regret it. Not too spicy but super savory!“

“I love this place so much, I cone very often, especially when I work full shifts because my job is very close to the point I just walk to it.
Every time, no matter the circumstances food is great and so is the service.
On Tuesday I called for a pickup order at 3:05 and without any hesitation they filled it and had it ready so fast, food was warm and just delicious. They close at 3:30 so they could have easily told me no, or just could have been not the happiest, but the complete opposite! They are always happy, very friendly as well. I love this truck so much, and you guys are very genuine, humble people. Thank you for always making a great meal, and keeping a smile on your face! You guys are the best! Have a good day :)

Btw I have not had a bad meal at all here! Everything is so good!“

“The flavors are amazing. Great quality!“

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋“

“So good, high-quality, and fresh. I ordered two steak burritos with everything. The salsas are insanely delicious and spicy. The steak has an almost Argentinian asado fire-pit-style flavor. I love it. I loved the sweet, grilled onions and Serrano peppers that came as a side. Thank you guys for committing to making a great meal.“

“amazing ! There is nothing quite like a massive, loaded burrito where the meat is so tender it practically melts apart—definitely a meal built for two or a very serious appetite.
​What's your go-to order when you head over? Are you all about the classic carne asada, or do you mix it up with something else?“

“I've tried several taco places trying to find some super delicious ones, but this one always tops them (even though there are days when something goes wrong). They have a simple menu, freshly made tortillas, and no added oil, a variety of salsas, I love a super spicy one that's red (I think it's made with árbol chili).

But what happened? Where are they?“

“Overall, it felt like a restaurant-quality experience at home. If you're a momo lover like me, Asian Momo House should definitely be on your list. Highly recommended!“

“You can tell the birria here was made by someone who cares about flavor and tradition. It’s not rushed, it’s not bland it’s balanced, bold, and beautifully executed. Portion sizes are great, the food comes out hot, and every bite feels intentional.
If you only order one thing from Ramo’s Food Truck, make it the birria.
It’s comforting, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of heart you rarely find.
10/10 Just incredible birria“

“I recommend Tacos Y MARISCOS El GORDO because of their yummy delicious SHRIMP tacos are my favorite plus I’ve had their Quesadilla and Mexican style shrimp cocktail… I like the fact that their children whom are teenagers work part time whom are polite and friendly like their parents“

“This place should absolutely have 5 stars. These were some of the BEST tacos I’ve ever had. I definitely don’t say that lightly. Flavor, quantity and sides all top notch. Service was also great. We had carne asada tacos and the ceviche.“

“I’ve been coming to this food truck since 2023, and it has genuinely become one of my favorite spots in the Bay Area. The uncle who runs the place is always so friendly, humble, and soft-spoken, and that warmth makes the experience even better.

Coming from India, finding a vada pav that actually tastes authentic means a lot to me, and this place absolutely nails it. The vada is perfectly crispy on the outside and full flavourful and hot inside, and the combination of the authentic dry peanut chutney, onions, and green mirchi is just amazing. I’ve tried vada pav at so many popular places around the Bay Area—places people constantly recommend—and I can confidently say that this one is very hard to beat.

The chole bhature is another favorite of mine. Absolutely delicious—you really cannot complain about anything. I’ve also tried their masala puri and dahi papdi chaat, and both have been consistently good. This place has never disappointed me. And definitely try their falooda too!

I’ve even been one of those late-night customers calling just before closing and saying, “Uncle, I’m only 5 minutes away!” 😄 Even when everything is practically closed, he has been so accommodating and has kept my food ready for me. That kind of hospitality is something I really appreciate and remember.

If you love authentic Indian street food as they have lots of options, please give this little food truck a try. It deserves a lot more recognition. I’ve been coming here for years for a reason, and I’ll definitely keep coming back! ❤“

“*Writing this review as I shove my shrimp burrito gluttonously into my face*

Customer service: The woman who greeted me was very sweet and made me feel welcomed.

Food: the shrimp burrito was very fresh and filling. You could taste the freshness of the lettuce and tomato. The salsa was really good too! Their hot salsa has peanuts in it and it gives it a unique flavor reminiscent of Vietnamese peanut sauce. The Jamaica was super refreshing and not too sweet.

Vibes: it’s a chill spot to enjoy your food, even eat in your vehicle. I was able to take my dog on a nice little walk around the block while I waited for my food & it was ready when we got back to Petra’s.

Def recommend giving it a try!
I wanna come back and order one of the desserts- the photos look so yummy 😋“

“Love the chicken pupusa! It’s my favorite food truck in Redwood City“

“If you’re craving authentic, flavorful Pav Bhaji, this place is an absolute gem. The bhaji is rich, buttery, perfectly spiced, and served with soft pav that’s toasted just right. Every bite tastes like true Mumbai street food comfort.

Their catering trays are extremely reasonable in price, and the quality and quantity are both excellent. You genuinely get great value without compromising on taste. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or office events.
I highly recommend this place. If you love Pav Bhaji or want to impress guests with delicious Indian food, this spot should be at the top of your list.“

“La torta de asada Está muy rica y también los los tacos de asada“

“Best tacos in star idaho. Others complain there's too much flavor. Honestly they must have never had authentic Mexican food. Flavor is right. Heat level is perfect. Try it for yourself.
Probably the best burrito I've had in the Treasure Valley. Ordered a carne Asada burrito supreme. Meat was perfectly seasoned and the salsa has a nice flavor. The food truck was parked at Helina Marie's wine bar in Star tonight. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for them in the future. Highly recommend“

“I got a plain taco for my dog ,a burrito for my wife and a torta de milanesa for myself. When I saw the tacos where made with fresh handmade tortillas I had to take a bite before feeding it to my dog. The milanesa was also very good. My wife enjoyed the burrito. I would have preferred the torta have beans instead of the mayo based sauce, but it was still delicious. 5/5 would recommend. Paid about 40 bucks including tip.“

“The Bay Area has some of the fiercest competitive markets for Americanized Mexican food in the world. Of the many fine burrito-centric establishments I have tried here, Alva's is one of the best.

In other words, you can step up to a truck and minutes later be enjoying literally one of the best burritos in the world. Truly a silver lining of the modern world.

Bonus: Quesabirria and churros on demand.“

“Undisputedly the best burritos in town. I've had many burritos from other places and none compares to the ones at this Taco truck. All the ingredients match perfectly with eachother. I usually get two of the monster burritos to feed myself and my four children and we always have leftovers for a snack for later. The owner Manuel is also very kind and caring to every customer. The cooks are also really nice and they do amazing work with the food. If I could give one million stars I would. This is definitely a place you want to try if you haven't already.

Parking: Tons of parking space

Kid-friendliness: Sometimes I bring my children to sit down and eat. Also I usually ask for the burritos I get to be cut a certain way for my kids and the honor my request.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or anything like that.“

“Fresh delicious pupusas and tasty, good sized burritos at a reasonable price.“

“5 stars across the board doc. I went once on a sneaky tip but had to go back for another time and it was on point again. Everyone that knows me know I like consistency and mam did they deliver. My two youngest boys dont eat onions but they did today!!! 🔥🔥🔥 ordered 20 tacos with everything + salsa vedre 😗👌“

“This is one the best Maharashtran street food in town.. pav bhaji is unique and yummy !and Misal pav is awesome .. I highly recommend this place ..“

“No volveria nunca su personal son unos despitas e ineptos que aparte que cometen un error se ofenden porque uno les dice dus verdades, mi esposa ordeno una torta la cual pregunte que le ponian porque no queria le pusieran frijoles y dijo k no llevavan como lo dice el menu escrito solo mayonesa tomate y lechuga. Y pues se la dan con frijoles mi esposa va les dice que no come frijoles que le hagan otra y el empmeado mjy despota le dice que no le hara otra pues ellos le ponen frioles y k si no kiere k se lis kite ..le fui a reclamar que en su menu no dice k lleve frijoles y solo dijo pues te regreso tu dinero peto no voy hacer otra torta , yo creo que los dueños deven de ver que gente les trabaja pues lo unico que haran es llevar su negocio a la quiebra pues el cliente nunca regresara con ese tipo de empleados tan ignorantes.“

“This is a takeout spot located in a business park, so it can be hard to find. However, their dim sum is pretty good and it's definitely a good value for how much you get. Our favorites are the pork buns and siu mai. The hao gar are pretty good, too. The bean curd is a little hit or miss, but they're packed full of filling. Pickup process is interesting as you ring a doorbell and someone will come bring out your order. They can be flexible with pickup times, though it depends on how many orders they have to fill. Parking can be a pain, but on weekdays it's not much trouble finding a spot along the street.“

“Zoom Caffe, highly recommend! 5 � coffee and great eats!“

“muy rico todo completamente familiar puede divertirse y se siente como en su casa muy rico todo muy buena atencion recomendadisimo“

“You didn't know this before but if you like lunch or enjoy food you should eat here.

First time diner, long time consumer. I made a rookie mistake while ordering the vegetarian sandwich on sourdough. French or dutch crunch roll is recommended. Said I was open to suggestions. Then we added avocado, fresh jalapeno, tapatio, and a side of fries.

I ate half the fries and the smaller cut of the sandwich. I'm excited to be hungry again in about two hours.“

“Went for a hike down the road in the nature preserve and on my way driving up I saw this taco truck. Decided to grab some tacos on the way out and this place did not disappoint!!! The service was warm and friendly and the carnitas tacos were delicious. It was quite busy on a weekday at lunch which is a good sign. Cash/venmo/zelle only. $13 for 3 tacos and a drink. Would check it out if you’re in the area! :)“

“Tried 4 tacos, Asada, Pollo, Pastor, Carnitas. Carnitas was the winner, decent portion, decent price, convenient location, easy parking today but I can see it being challenging. Good pickled peppers and carrots on the plate. Good, solid paper plate and foil. Could use some flavorful salsa and a fork for the bits.“

“The food was amazing and I enjoyed every bit and the staff was incredible. Also, thank you for lending me sunblock. It was really appreciated 🙏“

“Very casual dining spot but removed from the busy road. Food was excellent especially the taco Dorado! We later ate the burritos which were delicious. The seasoning for the asada and chicken were great. Cousin said shrimp was good too. Definitely will return if in the area again“
