36 Best Food Trucks near El Cajon

“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!!“

“Mr. Shawarma is an absolute gem! The food here is incredibly fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The portions are generous, ensuring you leave more than satisfied. The staff is friendly, and the service is great too. Highly recommend!“

“Muy ricos los tacos de camarón de filete“

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try to eat tacos that pass thru lakeside or if they’re from lakeside. I’d give them 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!“

“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!“

“Maria is the best! We hired Tacos El Gabacho for my wife's grad school graduation party and we can't wait to recommend her and use her again! 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!“

“I only put a five so you could see this they don’t got no birra it’s just meat and corn tortilla no hint of red not even fried comes with no dipping sausage they hot sauce taste like tomatoe soup with a little spice don’t go here add food don’t even know how they have almost 5 rating want a good place go to el gordo on convoy and get some real birria“

“The "Keka" Taco is not a taco. It is a declaration of war against hunger, against mediocrity, against the sad, pale shadows of what lesser places dare call “Mexican food.” A hand-made corn tortilla, thick and supple, griddled to golden perfection, cradling a heaping pile of perfectly charred carne asada, melty cheese binding it all together in gooey, beef-fat ecstasy. It’s part taco, part quesadilla, and all masterpiece. You bite in, and suddenly, life makes sense. The rich, smoky beef, the salty-sweet cheese, the slightly crisp, slightly chewy tortilla—it’s the kind of balance you’d expect from a kitchen that’s been perfecting this for generations. There’s a snap of acidity from whatever salsa you dare to douse it with, maybe a hit of lime if you’re feeling particularly self-indulgent. It’s greasy in all the right ways. Messy, joyous, an experience meant to be eaten with both hands and zero shame. This is the taco dreams are made of. The kind of meal that makes you question why you ever wasted time on anything less. A 10 out of 10. Hell, an 11. If you don’t eat this, you are failing at life.“

“Beautiful han make tortilla tacos 🤤“

“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!
