“I've been trying all the taco trucks in the area but keep returning to Emiliano's. Probably been there 50 times. Really good shrimp tacos. The shrimp is larger and more flavorful than typical. Also really like the al pastor. Carne asada and chicken is good too. My new favorite thing is the wet burrito.
By the way, I've never found them not open when they were supposed to be.“

“Garlic fresh fries: FABULOUS BREWHOUSE burger: SUPER DELICIOUS. Staff attention: THE GREATEST. I don't agree with many people here giving so bad reviews about this place. Please be kind, nice, give a smile enjoy your meals and forgive the owners for not helping employees properly. I even noticed a nice "PINK" Ford Fusion parked outside.“

“Great food, good service, and a wonderful overall experience.“

“I cannot emphasize how good the food here is enough. It’s cooked with so much love by the most talented folks using the most beautiful ingredients. Every time I come here I know I’m in for a really special meal. Thank you to the chefs!!!!!“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“really like this place because it's family-friendly and has a variety of food. I like it because they have burritos. I highly recommend it.“

“Came here for a baked potato and realized theres so much more to it than that! They had some delicious birria tacos and even birria ramen! The fish tacos were so delicious too. Im not usually one to divert from my usual agua de pepino but the drink with pineapple and i think it was spinach or something, i cant remember, but it was soo yummy too. The only thing that was really hard to figure out was parking. I spent like 30 minutes each time just going around the whole thing looking for parking. To be fair it was rush hour so there was a lot of traffic too.“

“if you happened to be in the area for some shopping or whatever, they are a great vegan option in the market area. we got some tortas and ate them to fast to even get a picture. the taco flight sounded too good to pass up Updated from previous review on 2026-01-26“

“One of my favorite places to eat in the WORLD! I live in Missouri now and it was my first stop off of the plane when we visited! Chicken taco supers spicy.“

“Great quality, always get it the way you ask for it, reasonable prices.... I stayed on a late night truck run when my wife was pregnant. You could throw a rock and hit 5 taco trucks in the same area and none are as good. There's this one guy who always asks about my kids always is friendly but he's the same way with everyone, no favorites. Quality spot in the cut...“

“Really loved th3 food I recently had the pleasure of experiencing some truly amazing food, and I can't wait to share my experience! 😋 The flavors were so well-balanced and each bite was an absolute delight. From the appetizers to the desserts, every dish was cooked to perfection. 💯 I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an outstanding culinary experience. 🍽️ I'm already planning my next visit! #foodie #delicious #foodlover #yummy“

“Tasty! The Asada was perfect and generous amounts“

“I swear these tacos de Barbacoa are crack. SOO DELICIOUS!“

“The tamales are so good!!“

“I'll tell you...the Tacos El Rey Food Truck is a great stop for lunch! I had to wait a while to pick up my custom made Harpoon heads from the Iron Works place so I walked over to the El Rey taco truck, and got a couple of chicken tacos grande, and they were amazing! The flavors and textures were deliciously authentic! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“delicious food, very very fresh. the Steak/Shrimp burrito was incredible“

“Food is hot. and super delicious“

“UPDATE: Tacos Arabes!! So good!! Highly recommended.

This review is for their new truck on Roosevelt and 23rd. You gotta get the carnitas with the handmade blue corn tortilla. It’s absolutely ridiculous. So damn good. Unlike anything I’ve ever had. Lots of good fresh avocado in every bite.

They also have a delicious pecan agua fresca, which is unlike anything I’ve ever had before. Just wow.

Their salsa and their pickles are on point.

They also have lots of other fun regional stuff that you don’t find at other taco trucks. Pambazos, cemitas, huaraches, tacos arabes, etc. I can’t wait to try them.“

“tacos were bomb and the salsas were delicious.. we will be going back“

“Buen dia. This roadside taco stand is 🔥🔥🔥. Fresh tortillas, al pastor on the spit, suadero, tripas, a little table to sit at; it's a really nice family-run-joint, and cheap. I know I sound n smell like a gringo... but this place is the real deal. Sincerely, Mr. Poco Tonto“

“This is by far, the best taqueria in the neighborhood. I LOVE their tacos.

If you are new to San Francisco, do not go here. If you are not familiar with the neighborhood, do not go here...If you are numb to the horrible things you see in the Tenderloin (this is one of the worst blocks for that) you should take advantage of your thick skin and enjoy the best Mexican food north of Market Street. Plan on taking it to go.“

“? Alright folks, here’s the deal: Living in Alameda has me often yearning for some legit taco action. But I’ve found that I usually need to head over to Oakland to truly satisfy those cravings. And that’s exactly how I ended up at this taco truck!Nestled in Oakland, this spot was a serendipitous find on an evening adventure. The setting is chill, making it the perfect backdrop for some true street taco vibes. And speaking of streets, there’s a handy parking lot right at the corner, so you can just park and wander over with ease.I dove into two pastor and two carne asada tacos, and even though they’re on the petite side, they don’t skimp on flavor. My plate was brimming with extras - a generous helping of radishes and jalapeños which added that fresh zing to every bite. And oh, those salsas! Perfectly spiced and absolutely delightful.Now, are these the all-time champions of my taco experiences? Maybe not. But when the taco craving hits in Alameda, this Oakland gem is definitely worth the short trek. Can’t wait to see what the rest of their menu holds on my next visit!“

“Food: 4 stars- good taste, texture, temp. 5 stars for presentation.

Service: 5 stars- prompt and friendly!

Location: 4 stars- Parking lot shared with several other businesses, so parking can be a challenge. Taco truck and seating area were extremely clean (5 stars for cleanliness).“

“Love this place. I used to get steak tacos or carnitas (with pineapple), but now I'm trying not to eat meat. They have 2 tacos you can mix and match. I get grilled veggies, nopales or fish and add beans for some extra protein. I have started going here every time I'm in the office. Deducted a star from atmosphere for the shady neighborhood, but they can't control that.

Vegetarian options: Nopales, grilled veggies, add beans.“

“Great food on a great Sunday!“

“I've been ordering from Tacos Etzatlan #2 for about the last 6 months consistently (though my belly has been unhappy about it). I am absolutely addicted to their food. In fact, this is likely the best food truck I've tried in my life! Make no mistake this isn't to be taken lightly as I am a huge foodie who is personally obsessed with trying tacos from everywhere I can (including doing tasting tours in Mexico).

My personal favorites are the asada tacos and their asada super burritos. I rarely eat an entire burrito that big but believe me, these are so tasty that I don't leave anything behind. My kids love this spot so much that they call them the best burritos in the world.

What's the secret sauce? The ingredients are so fresh, flavors stay in your mouth.

Options galore (tacos, tortas, burrito, etc) which have satisfied many cravings I have had. Customer service is A+ and it is Latina owned and run which I am always thrilled to support! They are fast but you can call in your order if you are in a rush!

I saw several reviews that they are cash only- that is no longer the case so bring your favorite plastic and enjoy!!

Do yourself a favor and support this small business with some incredible tasting Mexican food. I'm getting hungry just thinking about this spot :) Mmmmm...They close right at 1pm so be there before and prepare to be blown away.“

“Deliciosas las Militas de asada y los sopes ni se diga recomendó vista los tacos Las Palmas 🌴 te gustará se lo que te digo 🌹“

“I was skeptical because they are in front of a house but an all honesty their tacos ???? are delicious and I also tried there tortas and they are on point as well,I have another taco down the street Taqueria Sinaloa but they got sloppy with their food.I rather go to Tacos la Cabana and they also sale menudo and birria on Saturday mornings.TRY THEM you will not be disappointed and I am a picky eater so I was surprised I liked them.“

“hella tight................“

“Food like a homemade traditional kitchen the asada is amazing and fresh. Delicious food wonderful people. The website needs to update prices on the menu, the burrito grande is $12.59 now, but so worth it. Comes with avocado slices beans rice meat onions cilantro etc“

“This was the best Mexican food I’ve had in almost 15 years. I’m going to be visiting a lot. Good drinks and great food.“

“best tacos 🌮🇮🇹🐍🦅 in San Francisco 🚩🏟📍49ers 🏈 maybe 🤷 😂24th street 💘“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“The burritos here are some of the most flavorful and rich ones I’ve ever had. The carnitas are crispy and delicious. The shrimp burrito has just as much flavor but is a little lighter.One of the delicious things about this burrito is the inclusion of sour cream in the regular— the difference between regular and super burrito is just the size, not ingredients, so you can get all of the amazing flavor in a smaller size!The pricing is a little inconsistent— it would be good if they updated their menu so that it reflected their charges. There’s a dollar different here and there.“

“It was the friendliest salsa scene I've been to in years--Sunday at four to eight. And the food was gorgeous, and the staff super helpful.“

“Omg! this place ess awesome! the chicken & waffles were to die for.. I will be returning.soon!“

“NOTE: El Paisa in Oakland, and this place, are neck to neck in the east bay taco competition.The best suadero and carnitas tacos I've had East Bay, hands down, sometimes even better than El Paisa in East Oakland and I never ever thought I would say that. The old Guy running this place knows how to work a Comal (Choricera/Fritanga)I'm still reeling from the implications.Was told that the neighborhood's a little rough which is fine with me, I'd advise out-of-towners To come in the afternoon though. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Taco heavenUPDATE: One week later, and I've had tacos there five more times and each time it just got BETTER.UPDATE: after three months eating there, I realize they have hit-or-miss days.“

“I'll have to say that there's nothing special about this food truck, still good don't get me wrong but nothing stands out amongst the food items, the service quick but it was just me, no line and the location of the truck is to hidden with not enough signs to show. A bit pricey for the portion of meat on the burrito.

Parking: It's a small parking lot but since there aren't a lot of customers It's easy to get a parking spot and the food truck is right there inside the parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Sufficient space for wheelchairs!“

“This place is fire. Everything I've tried has been bomb - shrimp super burrito, aquachiles, fish tacos, chicken tacos, carnitas tacos. The fish tacos are something special. The owner (I'm assuming) is also the nicest dude ever. Definitely come through this spot!“

“The fish tacos were really good, one of the best I've ever had“

“Awesome experience and great food.“

“The BEST quesabirria place in the east bay! I drive all the way over to Richmond from Oakland when I want quesabirrias, there’s something special about the spices in the meat and the perfectly done tortillas. One of my favorite comfort foods. The steak tacos are also absolutely delicious! Would give 10 stars. Also everyone there is super nice!“

“I am extremely impressed by this taqueria as a taqueria enjoyer, lifelong. I have never seen a taqueria with such an abundant drink selection. Tons of beers and also sodas, along with a wonderful selection of delicious desserts.

The service was the fastest I've ever experienced. He made my supreme burrito in probably about 3 minutes or less. It was incredible. This makes this a very efficient spot for a lunch break. And the burrito is huge and stuffed to the point of feeling firm. Wonderfully wrapped, And the man working the cash register and wrapping the burrito was extremely friendly and polite. Nothing bad at all to say about this place, except maybe that there's limited seating. But that's a very minor issue.

Overall, one of the best taqueria is I've ever been to.“

“The fish tacos were really good, one of the best I've ever had“

“Our family has been graced to have María food for the last 4 years - since she had a food truck. She and her staffs are always soooo sweet.

If you want to support a hard working women then she is the one. Her food is always a smack.

My go to are Quesabirria, Tapatio birria and special plates * don’t miss her consume (the best I’ve ever had)

Give her shop or truck a try.

Muchas gracias María 😁

Mis mejores deseos!!“

“best burrito EVERRR..online orders only“

“People: do try the green pozole, breakfast burrito, chile relleno (the chile relleno is exceptionally good), and ceviche. I have tried the mentioned dishes more than twice and the consistency is always the same: excellent! Yum, yum!“
