50 Best Taco Restaurants near Emeryville

“I wholeheartedly recommend Alma y Sazon for both catering and personal dining experiences! They provided a worthwhile and delicious vegan catering experience for my leadership event, as well as, provided a delicious solo dining experience.

Their taco flight and agua frescas are pretty much life-changing with how delicious they are. Definitely worth a trip to Public Market to visit them!“

“DELICIOUS🌮🍤🔥❤️👍🏽! 5 ⭐️'s! This is definitely going to be one of my new spots. Don't second guess if you are looking for some good Mexican food🌮🔥❤️. I had been fasting all day and just got out of my doctor's appointment around 530pm. I was starving on Taco Tuesdays😉lol. I looked up on Google best super tacos in San Francisco in the Mission area! Well,We'll, popped up with the most stars⭐️😉. I ordered the Tijuana style tacos🌮, handmade tortilla, grilled cheese, one shrimp🍤(Clean jumbo prawns👍🏽🍤❤️) and one steak, onions, cilantro and guacamole on the side. They were so nice💜! They even added in some chips when I asked do they come with chips. The chips were fresh and warm still. When I got home my food was still warm but I did have it in a warmer bag from doordash LOL. This restaurant was very clean and they also have the condiments of different type of sauces in clean squeezable bottles, self service packaging. Everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection. Thank you all🙏🏼! You just gained a new customer abd many more with my popular reviews 😉⭐️❤️🔥🌮! By Queen Diamond 👑💎😘“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“Amazing Tortas, tacos, nachos, and more!“

“el sazón está muy bueno,las personas muy amables“

“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.“

“👍🌮🌮🌮🌮🌯🌯🌯🍛🍛🥘🥙🥗🍤🍤🍗🌮🌮🌮🌮🍺🍺🍳🌮🌯🌮“

“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.“

“This place looks a little 'sketchy', BUT the food is very good. I was working an event at the Oakland Colesium, and this was the only place you could walk to. If you can speak a little Spanish, it goes a long way. I got the Cubana sandwich, and it was so big, I could only eat half of it.“

“This may be the best Mexican burrito I've ever had, got the chorizo one! (I'm usually not super happy with Mexican food because I live in NC, but am from NM. Often Mexican food tends to be dry compared to New Mexican which swims in sauce. It actually may be difficult to find authentic Mexican food in NM because fusion restaurants are the norm (a Mexican place that doesn't offer chile).) Visiting SF - where I briefly lived years ago - I knew I had to take advantage of the good Latin American options. We tried going to Breakfast Little but their power was out, unfortunately. Al Carojo across the street just started experiencing power problems, too. This was our third choice, but it might have been my first, if I had first found the listing. It was the authentic experience I was hoping for. My partner had the breakfast plate with chorizo and his was fantastic also. Too bad we live so far away.“

“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...“

“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.“

“best street corn ever !! looking forward to trying there other stuff“

“Good portion, reasonable price, delicious food and super friendly staffs. They don’t even ask for tips, but they bring the food to you and keep checking in to see if everything is okay. Small local business who are not greedy and accepts cards, and cares about their customers.“

“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“

“YUM!!! I just got a burrito bowl with shrimp and mushrooms. It was delicious and SO FRESH. The veggies and generous avocado look like a photograph they’re so fresh. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and mushrooms caramelized to perfection. Rice and beans are so yummy and not greasy at all. Highly recommend!“

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

“visited for Lunch big dinning area and staff very welcoming, the atmosphere is great with classic 80's pop playing at time of our visit
good menu selection i went with the lamb Tacos and draft beer, the food arrived fresh prepared well presented. the lamb was fall apart with salsa full of freshness and flavour, the dipping gravy was perfect just enhanced the lamb flavour.

good Gluten free option easy to order with little fuss

this is a great value perfect casual dinning spot“

“The tamales are so good!!“

“Great Experience with Early Bird Tacos! I needed to set up a pretty last minute breakfast for our team of 23 employees. When sending in an inquiry, through their website, to see if they could cater our breakfast, they responded very quickly and were able to accommodate our needs. Their online ordering system was quick and easy to put an order in. Day of the breakfast They showed up right on time at 7am. The delivery guy was super nice. And then the food was REALLY good! WE ordered their breakfast taco buffet. Everything was super flavorful, the sauces and guacamole were delicious. I highly recommend. Thanks Early Bird Tacos!“

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I hope I find this in heaven. Hands-down, one of the best Carnitas I’ve had. Run out of a taco truck in a very unassuming location. Juicy, tender and they give generous portions. I got that fairly late at 2PM and everything was sold out except for the carne. The person I spoke to said to come early usually before noon if you want to have a taste of everything else. There are two tents set up with tables and chairs.“

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

“This place is fantastic!! I’ve ate a million burritos in the Mission, tried damn near every spot… but man that carne asada burrito I had last week might take the crown… that first bite I think I made an audible moan, ohhh lawddd 😤🤣“

“Food is hot. and super delicious“

“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.“

“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“

“Son los mejores taquitos 🌮“

“Best tacos in town love pastor love the carne azada“

“Thrifty prices for this food truck if you’re hungry and near Hegenberger. It’s a good find particularly since they offer a $8 veggie burrito ? tax is included so that’s a bonus. I had the chicken one and it’s ok.-the red sauce was better that average and fresh radishes, pickled carrot slices and quality jalapeños.The churros were fresh, temperature hot, 10”, and outstanding— nice servers plenty of parking ?️ I will revisit ? grateful they are there ☀️“

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

“? 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Newest restaurant open in Union Square. Incredible food. They are so kind and give back to the city.“

“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.“
