38 Best Food Trucks near El Cajon

“Best chicken shawarma wrap I’ve ever had in my life, and the nicest people serving too! Definitely should try this food truck if you are downtown!“

“First time going here! I was skeptical at first because it’s a bit smaller than i’d like, but it turns out its a lot of fun and not as intimidating as the bigger places and $7 for 1 good sized beer, that’s a good deal! I will be returning soon, so much fun and they play plenty of todays hits and songs I know how to dance to, also no cover charge on Wednesdays!!“

“As a Mexican, I’m very particular about my mariscos, and out of the three Mariscos trucks in El Cajon, this one is by far the best. I love their aguachiles, and their fairly priced fish tacos are bomb. Authentic as it gets, to be honest!!“

“Muy ricos los tacos de camarón de filete“

“really Good Tacos 🙂💜🌹 Cashier was really nice 🙂“

“Es primera vez que pruebo este sushi y la verdad esta fire 🔥 lo recomiendo al 💯“

“This place is the best! We’re from Colorado and we found this place three years ago when we were visiting. We’ve dreamt about their fish and shrimp tacos ever since, so we make it a point to stop by whenever we’re in San Diego. This last trip was no different. We even went twice this year because they recommended their garlic and butter fish and shrimp tacos and they’re to die for (along with everything else we’ve had). While they do have outdoor seating available, we ate in our car because we had our pup with us. When we went back, they even said they remembered us. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, the place is clean and the food is tasteful. We just wish they would bring their truck to Denver so we could have them more often!“

“1st time here, very good burger, will be back, and recommend to others“

“You guys contine to create some the theeeee best food I have ever eaten. The shrimp and fish tacos are 2-die-4, so good! I'd reccomend you to anyone I know!“

“I recently had the pleasure of hosting a house party and booked Taco Picasso. I can confidently say it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. My guests LOVED it! First and foremost, the food was nothing short of amazing. Each taco was a burst of flavor, with perfectly seasoned meats and fresh, vibrant toppings. The menu offers a delightful variety, catering to all taste preferences. Whether you're a fan of classic carne asada, tangy al pastor, or crave something more adventurous like their mouth-watering fish tacos, every bite was pure bliss. The ingredients were evidently fresh, and the craftsmanship in each taco was apparent. But what truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The combination of phenomenal food and outstanding service creates an unforgettable dining experience. I can't recommend it highly enough and will certainly be booking their services for more of their delectable tacos. Thank you Ornela!“

“I love this truck it’s so good and fresh“

“I stop here every time I’m in this side of my neighborhood. Take the 15 freeway and Exit El Cajon Blvd, go East a few blocks but don’t pass Menlo Ave. Look for Fish and Birria signs waving. They have the whole parking lot just drive in! I usually have two or three Fish tacos (w/o crema) and a pop then they usually know when I’m done because my to-go order is hot and ready!! My grandson is very picky but he looks forward to their Carne Asada Quesa taco’s. I’ve tried a lot off their menu and have never been disappointed, ever. They also GIVE you a “Consommé” which is actually a small portion of their seafood soup not just the fluid, I’ve had whole shrimp in mine many times and small pieces of fish. They’re not stingy with their variety of hot salsas/chili pods and garnishes (limes, cilantro, onions and pickled onions. Lots of ice cold canned and bottled drinks to choose from. This is my only food truck I trust 100% and love their quality of cooking. You’ll agree too once you try them out!“

She came and set up her taco trailer in our front yard and everyone loved her homemade tortillas, carne asada, pollo asada and al pastor. Awesome food and service!“

“DELICIOUS! PROFESSIONAL and INCREDIBLE SERVICE! I have been a Wedding & Private Events DJ/Emcee for 25 years. Recently, I DJd and Emceed a local Grand Opening for a business. Zoe's Place Food Truck provided all of the food, for the 100s of attendees, mostly business professionals in the community! I was one of the first to grab a plate and I knew, from the first bite, that I was going to enjoy it. The food was cooked perfectly and the portions were great! They had different options, to appease different palates. They were timely and organized, especially to provide food for so many people! I saw smiles and satisfied tummys, all over the place! I highly recommend connecting with Zoe's Place for your next celebration. Cheers! Take care and God Bless!

“My girls and I ate at Dirty Birds Food Truck at one of their school events. The staff was so genuine and friendly and the food was served up quickly with great presentation! My girls devoured their chicken and fries. My oldest who is a very picky eater said, and I quote, “That was the best chicken and fries I’ve ever eaten in my entire life.” (And let me tell you, she’s eaten a lot of chicken and fries.The owner was there working with his staff and you can tell he really cares about the quality of his food and the customer experience.There’s a reason Dirty Birds has such a great reputation. Highly recommend checking them out!!

Kid-friendliness: My kids are obsessed with Dirty Birds!“

“This food truck has wonderful fish tacos and the folks running it are very kind and generous people. The food is a larger portion than I expected and very fresh and flavorful. Can't wait to go back! Only down side is location is outside by a freeway; these people deserve their own restaurant!😉♥️“
