“Good tacos, great service. Ordered 2 asada + 2 lengua tacos with everything. They came out fast, loaded, and hot. Packed with some pickled jalapeño for that extra bite. Everything you'd want and expect from a taco truck tacos. Definitely coming back here again. Yeeee“
“(Translated by Google) Alicia is a truck where a day spent in the city of Emerville is fabulous, sitting in the park, eating, enjoying that area is nice, and the owners are very friendly and fast.(Original)Alicia es una troca donde un día de pasada por la ciudad de emerville es fabulosa sentarse en el parque comer disfrutar de esa área es nice además las dueñas son muy amables y rápidas.“
“Great food! Great customer service! Been eating here for a few years now. Only advice I'd give is pay with CASH! If you use your card the fees attached to your order are a bit much. Takes away that "I got a great meal for a great price" feeling. Other then that I highly recommend this place!“
“A lot of really unique flavours! Nice breath of fresh air with all the other fancy & expensive ice cream spots that are around these days. Service can be a bit slow and lines can build up -- it's a friendly, neighborhood ice cream spot that does what they do really well!“

“Mashaallah started out as a food truck but now has a stall in the food court of Westfield San Francisco. Despite its humble appearance, this small business offered some of the best Pakistani food I've had in the city from its steam table of freshly-prepared meat and vegetable curries. A star dish here (which came recommended by Soleil Ho) was the Lamb Korma, made of super tender, lean, meaty chunks of lamb in a spiced curry. On my combination plate, I also got the Chana Masala (chickpea curry) and the Palak Paneer (cheese cubes in a velvety puréed spinach sauce), served along with rice. Every item was delicately spiced and flavorful without being too salty, and the garnishes of raw onion and cilantro brought out the freshness of the dishes. On the side, I also had an order of Garlic Naan (another star item), which was perfectly soft and chewy and had a wonderful flavor and aroma from the garlic and herbs. Overall, the food here was absolutely delicious, and the owners were so friendly and hospitable too!“
“Love these tacos, the salsas are excellent. They have fresh juices. I love the corn tortillas made by hand. Al pastor and shrimp tacos were so flavorful. My mom got the chicken taco... but said it was lacking flavor. The beans were very tasty.“
“Their lemon meringue pie and all the custards and yogurts I have tried are impeccable. Lexie is clearly really passionate about her product. Please support this local spot - it’s also priced beyond fairly! We brought ours into neighboring Freight and Salvage for a show (it’s allowed!) and then came back after the show for more…!Vegetarian options: Vegan options too!“
“This is by far one of the best taco trucks in the area. I have been coming back here for about two years, and I'm finally writing a review. I have tried everything on their menu and only one item I don't like, but it's my personal opinion. Their seasoning it's always on point. In two years, the food is always great. You get a good amount of meat per taco compared to every other truck in the area. Also their price is much lower than the competition. I have tried every single taco truck in the mission district, and this one is by far the best.“
“Great place to spend some outdoor time with colleagues, friends, or family. It was worth reserving "The Alcoves" for our party. You can either buy food and beverage tickets in advance for your event or as we did, we opened a tab at the bar and people would go and get their own drinks. There is a QR code as well at the reserved spot where you can order from.“
“Just a small stand inside the corner store. But the ceviche is so good! Best to call in advance. You have a new regular in me I can't wait to try the wings next time. It's a generous portion for an affordable price, seriously it's so so good!“
“Flavor wise, always excellent. With inflation though, the prices keep rising and the churros are getting smaller for sure. I've been coming since I was a kid and was shocked at the size this last time. Still love this place though. There are other carts as well nearby, but I like this place. They take cash & card.“

“I ordered a quesabirria taco and a burrito from here recently. The quesabirria was $5 for one that came with cucumber slices, one roasted jalapeno and one small cup of birria. It was amazing!! Really hit the spot in terms of flavor. The burrito on the other hand was good not great. It had a way too thick of a flour wrap around the burrito. I felt like I was eating a 30% flour wrap and only 70% filling. Otherwise, it was a good flavored burrito. I'll be back if I'm ever in the neighborhood for the quesabirria.“
“Sitting at the park bench at a smog shop on San Pablo, THIS is the gritty, urban, off- Gourmet Gulch affordable and lovingly made $3 taco experience you need to break out of the bubble. Slow simmered marinated chicken with a dollop of grilled onions, cut-up radishes what's not to like? Go there late enough for free side show entertainment! Across the street from this building north of Ashby...“
“They call them red tacos because some people can't say birria, but this is the best birria in the bay imo. Haven't found anyone else that's even close. The service is quick, they are friendly and now have a semi permanent home at a brewery. Overall fantastic.“
“I have been coming to chef elmy for 5 years. It is a very special experience and may favorite place to eat out in the east bay. If you are in a hurry come early or late… sometimes he gets very busy and there can be a long wait, but it is improving since he hired a “
“This place is the TRUTH.Everything was on point & portions are generous.The salsa rojo was spicy, smoky and savory. They cooked my tripa crispy as requested and it was delicious.Asada was perfectly seasoned and cooked too.Do not sleep on this place!“
“Wow, the chef Whitney, has set a new standard of excellence for cookies. Try the Pecan and the Peanut butter cookies ... killers ! Whitney's mom is often many the coolie booth in front of home on Dwight. Delightful, incredibly creative folks !“
“Best taco truck hands down! Ordered tripe, cow tongue, and beef tacos! Amazing flavor! The atmosphere is not so great as the truck is next to a dive bar. I get it, people get drunk and the food craving kicks in. Will be eating here indefinitely unless food quality changes. Highly recommended this taco truck! Street parking!“
“This is a hella good taco truck that parks right outside blunts and Moore (which is genius I gotta say). I had a veggie taco and a chicken taco. Both were delicious, the meal itself was cheap and very fast. I loved the pickled veggies and the salsa was just the right amount of spicy. If you're in a rush and need to pick up some cannabis and food, I recommend ordering cannabis for pick up at blunts and Moore and grabbing some tacos at the truck in your way out.“
“Absolutely delicious and very convenient food truck in the Dogpatch area. There were a variety of options to choose from and couldn’t go wrong with any. Ordered the Brazidilla with asada, the Cali Brazzurrito, fried sweet plantains, and a churro. Everything was packed with flavor and well prepared.We went during the busy lunch hour and only waited about 15 minutes for our food. Ordered off the kiosk and received friendly service when our food was ready. Walked to Crane Cove park to listen to the water and enjoy our meal.“
“Tried the one inside The Oracle, recommended by a nice lady sitting in front of us (who said she looks forward to it every game and fish is fresh every day). Oooooh definitely a must! The ladies at the booth were nice. Service was fast and the food was delicious! Definitely fresh and simple but tasty!I wish there was a bit more greens that went with the generous amount of fish.“
“One of the best tacos I've had... tortilla was a little crispy soo good the meat well seasoned... I was at the White Elephant sale yesterday and after doing some shopping my mother and I got a bit hungry we decided to try this taco truck and buy some tacos, it did not disappoint... whenever I come to Oakland again and I get hungry I'll be sure to look them up again...“
“This taco truck is definitely built off of love. Their meats are proper and this is definitely a place I'd even wanna work at. These guys know what their doing , and so when you come here,please pay it forward to these men, drop a couple dollars in the "VIP SERVICE" Tip jar .... You won't regret it(:“
“If you ready for a fingerlicious experience,You need to come here!!Parking: Is behind the building , a lots of spaces but a bit difficult to get inKid-friendliness: Outdoor and clean space so kids can be kidsWheelchair accessibility: Access big on the street side is plenty of room ?“
“Been coming to this same truck FOREVER. The food is on repeat. Literally never a bad day. Being a regular and knowing it's the same person you see always has me know the food has a face. Service on point, and the ambiance is what you'd expect from any food truck. I'd recommend this spot to anyone. My normal go tos are the chorizo breakfast burrito, any of the tacos, any of the burittos. I always mix it up.“
“I’m here to say that taco trucks are the royalty of tacos in the city. El ambre is no different. Their Birra tacos are not only tasty, they’re also priced extremely cheap. Everything about the tacos are fire. The cheese, toppings, dipping sauce and shells are far better than the competitions. One of the top tricks in the city, hands down.“
“Great tasting tacos! Very accommodating if you don't like a specific topping, they'll take it off. I'm from San Diego originally and this has got to be one of the closest tasting tacos to that of San Diego's delicacy. It's hard to find a good taco in the Bay, but this is it.“
“You can find the taco panzon most days at the intersection of Campbell and grand from 12:15 pm. This food truck is amazing. Really. The entire ambiance, the crew that frequents it; it is a community you want to be a part of. They have two chairs you can sit on and gulf down some tacos and be on your way. Not somewhere to sit and dine but for a quick pick me up it is highly recommended. Food quality is too notch, pickled jalapeños and zuccini and generous avocado portions with the taco orders when you ask for everything on em. Can't hype it enough! But don't expect to wine and dine, it's a food truck.“
“The best good and best service ever. My entire family lives going to Zs, and I bring friends and classmates whenever I get the chance. They have the most delicious and fresh food and are always so friendly and generous with their portions. If you like milkshakes, you gotta try the cookie butter, there's nothing else like it anywhere!! Will be coming back as much as we can, wish they had a truck in so many cities!“
“Felt like I was back in the motherland (Mexico). The dark, sketchy street just adds to the atmosphere. This place takes zelle if you don't have cash. The tacos are 3 bucks a pop, and they fill them fat. Best dang taco I've had in a while.“
“I'm from the East Coast (NY) and recently my Brother in-law and I visited a few cities in the state of California. First, we spent a few days visiting family in Los Angeles and Santa Ana. At the last minute of booking the trip, my Brother in-law decided he wanted to visit an old college buddy named Roderick (Roddy) in Oakland.He mentioned that Roddy had a BBQ restaurant named Roderick's BBQ. So the plan was to fly down from Santa Ana to San Francisco, make the drive to Oakland and spend our final evening in California hanging out with Roddy at his restaurant. I didn't know what to expect because I had never met him. Well, he rolled out the red carpet along with some of the finest food (not just BBQ) you will ever have in your life.You name it, we had it, and it all tasted incredible. Ribs, Tri-Tip, BBQ Chicken, Hot Links, Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish, French Fries, Mac & Cheese, and Potato Salad. The Ribs were tender and perfectly cooked, as was the BBQ Chicken. The Tri-Tip was tender and just melted in your mouth. The Hot Links had the perfect amount of flavor and heat. The fried chicken and catfish was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tasted great. The french fries had a light dusting of their in-house seasoning that was absolutely amazing.The Potato Salad and Mac & Cheese was incredible as well and to wash it all down was some of the most amazing Kool-Aid ever. The type of Kool-Aid that takes you back to your childhood. You better believe the next time I'm on the West Coast, I'm getting me some Roderick's BBQ. This place is a hidden gem and if you live in the Oakland area, you should run (not walk) to Roderick's BBQ immediately and try some of this amazing food. If you live 1-2 hours away, it's definitely worth the drive. Pull up a chair, enjoy the food, and tell Roddy that Chris and Sean sent you and he'll take good care of you. Plus, he's a great guy, a great storyteller, but he's an even better cook.Kudos to Roderick's BBQ!!!“
“My goto when I go to this truck is a regular steak burrito with everything, it comes out to about $11 even with chips and salsa... and it's probably the best burrito in Oakland in terms of flavor and juiciness, you can tell they spend time to add layers of flavor and this is coming from a self proclaimed burrito connoisseur. Service is nice everyone is friendly and quick waiting times and that's great for a family owned ambiance. The best way to describe the food is comfort food, it's like a home cooked meal. They really put the time into their food and I recommend the steak burrito with everything but that's just me. This in my opinion is the best burrito in Oakland and I've tried all the known taqueria's in West Oakland, downtown Oakland, Lake Merritt area“
“For sure my favorite taco truck in Oakland. Not does it taste really good, they are nicely priced with loads of meat. They are also generous on veggies, garnish and sauces, and always happy to give me another bag or two when I asked. Call ahead and your tacos will be ready within 10 minutes. My favorites are steak and chicken.“
“I've been driving past this amazing kitchen on wheels for the past yr and never have I bothered to stop & look. This ain't just a taco truck, they do breakfasts, burgers & birria. What more can you ask for. Run by nice folks. I'll definitely be back.“
“What a find! I don’t give out these sort of compliments lightly but their al pastor is off the charts good.! I had the Al Pastor super burrito and it was amazing but I’m sure everything here is good. Also super nice vibes. My new go-to spot in Richmond.“
“Best eggrolls I've ever had ! Hands down. You have to try the cheesesteak eggrolls. They're thee best. They also have crab and shrimp eggrolls which are goodt but not as good as the cheesesteak. So flavorful. There may be a wait but it's definitely worth it. The lemonade is good as well. You gotta catch them when they're open though. You won't be disappointed.“
“For many years our workplace had a generic food truck onsite that served up traditional tacos, burritos, and the occasional weekly specials like loaded nachos. They had pre-made rice plates too. The quality was decent but after a while its possible to get tired of the same-oh, same-oh.One day I began seeing a red food truck from my office window, as opposed to the plain unmarked white one. It turns out to be Golden Gate Bistro, who specializes in burgers made to order.I tried both the Akaushi Cheeseburger and Grilled Chicken Sandwich and can recommend both. Akaushi is from Japanese Brown cows, and one of several sources of Wagyu. It'll cost more than In and Out or Habit Grill but its justifiable with the juicy burger. I also love their thick-cut, perfectly seasoned fries. If burgers aren't your thing, they also offer up smoked ribs, Impossible burgers, and the usual Mexican favorites like Quesadillas.“
“Wow I don't think I've been satisfied with dining out since Rome's Kitchen. His BBQ Hot Link Sandwich I ordered was delicious and one of a kind. Definitely will be returning and highly recommend everyone to give it a try. Rome Kitchen's made me feel like I was in my own mothers kitchen with his hospitality, cooking skills, and service he provided.“
“Rock Club catered my husband's retirement party. Easy to communicate with, flexible & arrived early to set up for event. Their burgers, fries & onion rings were awesome & EVERYONE raved about them. My husband is still talking about how delicious they were today. I am sure I will be getting many texts asking for their info. Thank you again so much!!“
“Amazing! I tried chocolate flavor and it was sooooo good! It was super soft and melt immediately in my mouth. And it’s not super sweet that makes me to drink water after taking it. And I could feel the very light good smell of cinnamon as I eating it. Definitely going to be back again!“
“We stopped by Gilman's after a hike and we got Dog's for lunch. That chili cheese dog hit like no other - honest to god one of the best chili cheese dog's I've had in my life. Menu was great and food came out by the time I grabbed my beer. If you're craving a chili cheese dog, literally look no further - sometimes I dream about it, and my consumption of hot dogs has increased over the past year because of this food truck.“
“Great place with abide variety of cuisines. This place has an amazing vibe over the weekends and great places for a brunch/lunch. So many different cuisines to choose from and they also have a small mini golf play area. Would definitely visit again!“
“A hidden gem. First off, the staff is very friendly. Their prices are reasonable too. The truck is located at the corner of an auto body parking lot. There is plenty of parking every time we've been there. Their tacos are the BEST in Oakland. The fish tacos are very delicious and always my go to. Don't get me started on the carnitas, carne asada, cabeza, or lengua tacos. They are all sooooo good and full of flavor. Next I'll be trying the steak fries.... I know I won't be disappointed.“
“My son and I came here two times during our visit to catch some baseball in San Fran and Oakland. Don't let the area distract you. It is heavy industrial and is fairly safe and the food here is exceptional and some of the best tacos I have ever had. For 10 to 12 bucks a person you walk out of here very full and can't complain a bit.“
“Food was pretty tasty. Lots of flavor in the sauces, seasoned well. Only thing is it's a long wait to order and get the food, even for private catered events. Tried a steamed bao with pork belly. Pickled daikon was a nice vinegary addition. Baked bao with coca cola braised pork was about double the size of the steamed, like burger size. Moist and the slaw was nice.“
“I've been here a couple of times now, and each time the food has been consistently delicious! From the tacos to the burritos and most definitely their steak fries! Everything was so flavorful, especially the steak fries. The service was also impeccable each time I've been here! It's a new gem to the community.“
“It's hard to stand out as a Taco Truck in what is probably the most saturated area of Mexican food options but Novillo just does it. Consistency is key! And the fact that I see repeat customers during my repeat visits let's me know that I'm not the only one who's a huge fan of Novillo. I stick mostly to the tacos and I always get a mix but the Pastor and Carnitas are standouts. And the Chicharrons are bomb too. I love that you can get a good amount of Radishes, Jalapeños and Carrots. Always get extra salsa and save it for your eggs if you don't use it all. **The Asada Fries are so good! Eating them is like having a flashback to 2am college nights. I can't be the only one!“
“I thought I'd finally check them out. Friendly people, my 2 asada taco were fine. I didn't add anything extra, so meat, onion cilantro. The corn tortillas was legit. A bit of pickled jalapeño, radish, and lime on the side. My interest now piqued, I'll try their enchiladas next. So far, I like.“
“I just moved to the neighbourhood somewhat recently and discovered Avedano’s. I’m an extremely avid cook and having easy access to a butcher and meat this quality is game-changing.The staff is fantastic, always incredibly friendly and helpful. I’ve placed special orders three times now and it’s been such a positive experience. I’m looking forward to coming back weekly for all my protein needs.Also, get the Smokey Moe. The sandwich changed my life.“
“Amazing Lao fusion tacos and hot noodle soup! Also, the coconut Thai tea was unique and yummy! We walked here since we were in the neighborhood, but I could see how it would be difficult to drive here as there is no parking lot and street parking looked full. There's a nice outdoor seating area though.The tacos were my favorite out of the dishes we tried. I just got one beef taco to try it and I wish I got more. There was a chicken option too. There was a nice assortment of veggies with the perfectly seasoned beef and it came with a house made spicy garlic fish sauce on the side which pulled all the flavors together in a wonderful way.The noodle soup was also bomb. Very clear delicately flavored soup broth is made even more excellent when you pour in all the hot chili sauce they give you. Careful, that stuff is SPICY. There was beef meatballs, chicken, and shrimp in addition to the wide rice noodles and veggies. On a cold fall/winter night this soup is heaven.The pork belly was nicely crispy and salty and came with a bunch of fresh veggies which I appreciated. This dish also came with the house made spicy garlic fish sauce for dipping which was yummy.We also got the garlic noodles with shrimp which was a huge portion great for sharing as it filled the entire container in a mound. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The noodles were a little sweet for my taste. I rectified it by adding garlic chili sauce to the leftovers the next day.The coconut Thai tea was excellent, especially because I like coconut. The coconut milk helped balance the intense tea flavor that Thai iced tea has. This is a unique menu item you should definitely try, especially if you like That tea and coconut.“
