Going back from my Christmas I read it five flags 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷“

“Man where do I begin! This place is the bomb! Hands down some of the best birria in SD the team is incredible as well. I have been going to them since my apartment complex was graced with their presence. I have been tracking them down since. Their birria fries are unmatched and the atmosphere is always a party!

“FRESH LOCAL FOOD. NO PRESERVATIVES, HEALTHY CHOICE! SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS“

“taste is great portions could be a little bit bigger but all in all its great“

“Been here twice and will come back again. Definitely recommend“

“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 read the reviews and decided to give it a try since there was a lot of positive things being said. The portions are plentiful and I loved the fried rice. Overall the meats were good, but my chicken was dry, could've really used more sauces and seasoning. The lady who took my order was very nice and helpful. I'm sure we'll be back. Oh ginger and yum yum sauce is the best!“

“real delicious food.... they serve you with a smile and respect ☺️ 100%recomended...the tacos are super delicious.. crunchy and the best salsa......hot🌶️but good.the price is 👍 right❤️“

“Super delicious we love everything there !! Great food great service!!💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Absolutely great experience and food was delicious. Highly recommend, they got 4 different salsas! After being stationed overseas for a few years, this place def hit the spot. I got the elote en vaso with everything , carne asada tacos and a birria taco, will be getting again.“

“Although it is a food truck in a parking lot, I have it 5 stars for atmosphere because it is what is expected. nothing more, nothing less. The food never disappoints, and they go above and beyond to make sure you get and like what you order. Have been back and will be back again and again.“

“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!“

“great food fast service one of the best cheese steaks ive had“

“This place is amazing. Had the fish tacos and shrimp tacos both were deep fried and delicious. Hubby had the aguachile bontanas and it was so fresh and filling. Fresh made tortillas for the tacos and tostadas. Also had the clamato which quenched my thirst.
I was also completely endeared to the fact that it was an elderly gentleman cooking and seemed to have a speech impediment. The time it took to cook the food was well worth the wait“

“Amazing food, full of taste.“

“I'm so glad that The Funky Frenchie opened in Lemon Grove!! I've eaten here 2 times now and will keep coming back! The first time I had the breakfast bowl which was delicious and very filling. The 2nd time I got the Chicken and Woofles and they were willing to substitute eggs instead of the chicken since I'm a vegetarian with no hassle. DELICIOUS!!! The woofles are perfectly done with crisp edges and a soft fluffy inside. Absolutely will be back for this dish again!! And I must give a shout-out to the owner, Brandon! He's awesome!! 😀“

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

“Been enjoying gourmet crème brûlée from The Brûlée Bar for years. We love the creativity and flavors they come up with. And the prices are good as well. Don’t miss an opportunity to try them at your local farmers market.“

“I am a ceviche connoisseur. I’ve had ceviche from so many different restaurants and locations. This is hands down the best shrimp ceviche I’ve ever had and that says a lot coming from me. 10000000/10. Chefs kiss. Keep doing what you’re doing el cevichero“

“Delicious, fresh and very authentic Greek! Highly recommend to go check it out!“

“Nos encanta el servicio y la comida - con el mejor consomé que he probado“

“they have the best fish tacos in town at the best price.“

“Had the Thovo tostada… wow it’s delicious Great service and clean place . Definitely will recommend it and come back.“

“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“

“When you’re from out of town and you drive into an empty (pretty much abandoned) parking lot, you start to wonder about your dining choices. But this was a great spot. It’s a trailer at the edge of this lot, serving up some great eats. I got the birria tacos and these were amazing. Well seasoned meat and the crunch on the shell was 🤯. I’d imagine if you got this to go, the shell might be a bit soft but eating it on the spot was the right choice. Definitely check this out!“

“I highly recommend Tacos El Vaquero! We had a hard time finding a good caterer for our reception that could fit our budget and needs. Tacos El Vaquero worked closely with us to ensure they could cater our event and meet our needs. A great vendor, and my guests were so happy with how delicious the tacos were. As a host, that’s what you want to hear! 10/10“

“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!“

“Best sushi in San Diego at reasonable prices! Delicioso!!!“

“Hands down the tastiest Churros in San Diego!“

“clamato is really good. buy some beer at liquor store next door and mix 💣. food is really good, big portions.“

“Bold flavors that took us pleasantly by surprise. We’ll be going back.“

“I have been here three times now and I plan to come more often for sure. The food is great, prices are great, I like the music, and there’s not too much more to ask for from an awesome local food truck. There are a bunch of salsas, onions, parsley, cucumbers, and more that you can help yourself to and it’s close to home with that authentic Mexican flavor. I ordered 5 tacos and debated getting more haha Great spot, check them out!“

“great coctel de marisco. food flavorful great service“

“Wow! Awesome fish tacos. Liked the 2 fish per taco. The hot sauce is also awesome.“

“We've used them twice now, first time was for the 4th of July and second was for my husbands holiday party. The tacos are consistently good, love the tortillas & the salsa is BOMB! It's HOT but it's BOMB! Maria is so nice and easy to work with, we cannot wait to use them again!“

“It's a food truck with out door seating under a canopy on a busy street in front of the Auto Zone. Quick bites. Fish tacos were really good $3.50 each although I had to ask for the consome soup, they didn't offer it automatically as other spots fo when you order fish tacos . They didn't have a condiment fridge either, so whatever you get on your tacos is all you get, Mayo, cabbage and pico de gallo. The salsas they had were all flavorful and paired well with the tacos. My only complaint is when I approached they took a bit to attend to me as they were having a conversation. I placed my order with the man, and then the women came to the window asking what I ordered. Although the tacos were good, probably wouldn't come again and fonto my usual spot on 31st and Oceanview at Guilles Mariscos food truck which happened to be closed today where they give you a larger cup of the consome soup with your order and have the condiment bar at your disposal.“

“exelente comida y mui sabrosa exelente servicio y muy amables“

“This place has been pulling up to my apartment almost weekly and I decided to give it a shot tonight. Admittedly I wasn’t expecting much, I was wrong. IT.WAS.AMAZING. I have lived in San Diego for my whole life and this was hands down the best quality quesabirra tacos I’ve had from a taco truck. Food was amazing price for the portion size. Definitely will be back to try more! Oh and the churros are really good too!

Update from 5 stars, have had this place twice more since initial review but the quality of the food took a slight dip. Still great food truck overall“

“rico consome. y burritos“

“This gem of a truck has the best surf and turf burritos in San Diego. The meat is juicy and tender + the combo of shrimp and chipotle sauce is amazing. I squeeze lime into every bite with their salsa habanera (it is HOT but delicious!). This place is easy to miss it as it is located in front of Pick Your Part but I look forward to coming back to eat.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful dining experience at Piedra Santa on October 7th while celebrating my friend's birthday! Everything was absolutely amazing, from the beautiful ambiance to the excellent service. We ordered steak 🥩 paired with a delicious Argentinian wine, and both were outstanding! The food was perfectly prepared, and the waitstaff was friendly, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere made our celebration even more special. It was truly a memorable evening filled with great food, wonderful service, and beautiful memories. Highly recommend Piedra Santa! ❤️“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Nice!!! Tacos were good, a bit expensive but good. Menudo was decent. Served out of a catering truck at the tire shop parking lot. Coo little set up. Helpful staff, gave me what I ordered with no issues. Clean spot despite its in a tire shop“

“Birria Ramon lord the best I’ve had yet and I’ve tried a lot of places 🥰💋“

“This review was long over due. I have to say Tacos El Dorado is my preferred spot for tacos de birria, quesatacos de birria or simply an order of birria. Friendly staff and delicious food made fresh. I keep coming back for the experience I know will deliver straight to the point. If you haven't tried this spot and you love birria then you are missing out. Thank you Tacos El Dorado 🌮 👌😎“
