“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We tried the kathi roll, egg fry, omelette and paneer sandwich. All the dishes were so flavorful and made so well. If you like eggs, this food truck is an absolute must try!!
They also have a charpoi with a carom board creating a nice rustic vibe!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The flavors are amazing. Great quality!“

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

“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.“

“Best Al Pastor in the area. When they finish your food there will be a little basket to the right. This is the chip basket. Ask politely for some chips and they will give you some. Then walk across the street to the park, find a bench in the shade and enjoy an amazing burrito!“

“This was my first time trying Taqueria Ta Con Madre, and overall, I’m glad I gave it a try. I ordered asada, al pastor, and beef tongue tacos to take home for my wife and me.

The asada was flavorful and well-seasoned, and the beef tongue was also very good—tender, rich, and full of flavor. The tacos came generously topped with onions and cilantro, and they also have a self serve station with a variety of salsas and toppings. The grilled onions were a nice bonus!

The only thing that wasn’t quite to my preference was the al pastor. It tasted good, but the meat was a little overcooked and drier than I prefer. I’m used to al pastor being more tender and juicy, so that was the one area I felt could have been better.

Still, for my first visit, I had a good experience. They had a fast service and the best part is that I live two blocks away.

🌮 Overall, a solid first experience and worth trying if you’re in the mood for tacos!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“Stopped by Taqueria Patzcuaro in Sunnyvale for lunch on a Monday and it did not disappoint. The line was huge when I got there, but the service was surprisingly fast — they move through the crowd efficiently. The meat on my tacos was amazing, generous portions, and packed with flavor. On top of that, it’s cheaper than most taco spots in the area. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic, well-priced tacos. Their al pastor is amazing! Also the grilled pearl onions is something I have never had elsewhere. Definitely a repeat for me. Three tacos and a drink was $13.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋“

“Their food is delicious and reasonably priced. Much better quality than several other trucks we’ve tried near by.“

“I ordered a veg chowmein and chicken momo and ate on-site. Veg chowmein was standard indo-chinese flavor with bunch of veggies. The portion size is HUGE! The chicken momo was not my cup of tea but i appreciated the thin wrapper. Good place to grab a quick bite.“

“5/5 for the food, atmosphere, and quick service! This place always seemed busy when I visited, and I’m pretty sure they handle a ton of delivery and takeout orders too.

If you’re a fan of vada pav and Amul Pav Bhaji, this is definitely a spot to check out. The vada pav especially was SO good. I still remember how delicious it tasted even after leaving SF.

It was about an hour’s drive from where I was staying during my trip, so it wasn’t exactly close, but honestly, it was 100% worth the drive. Good food, quick preparation, and a great overall vibe. I’d happily make the drive again just for that vada pav!“

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

“Excelente atención los tacos 🌮 de pastor y zuadero riquísimo el agua de horchata riquísima 100%recomendado“

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

“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!“

“*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 😋“

“The best fish and chips in Mountain View & the tarter sauce is amazing! I highly recommend!“

“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! ❤“

“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“

“We’ve been here a few times and each time, our food is delicious. On this June 6, 2026 day, I had the 1 meat bowl which included the smoked chicken and the baked beans.I devoured every bit. Both were so delicious. My husband inhaled his brisket sandwich and my son surprisingly finished his chicken tacos. We even got a greeting from the owner. 😊 We ate outside this time, but the ambiance is good whether we sit in or out. I highly recommend that you try this place if you haven’t already.“

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

“Probably the best carne asada taco I’ve had in my life, meat was cooked perfectly and complemented well with their green sauce. The al pastor was also good they make it fresh with their own trompo! Good prices and quick service. Good place to go for a quick lunch and have some takeout food for the office.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Kinda small super burrito for $15. Two tiny cups of salsas. The flavors were okay. I guess they can charge a lot of money, because they're far from other options. Maybe I'm just poor? And it is the Bay Area. I know places in LA where you can still get a huge, delicious burrito for $10-12.“

“I really really liked the food over there ...specially momos and noodles....my experience was amazing....good food good life..🤗🤗🤗“

“I drive by here all the time and I always see a huge line and today I happen to catch them when they had a very short wait time. Impulsively I decided to stop and wait and I’m so happy I did. The food was great.. five stars out of five stars. I am impressed.“
