“Delicioso Sazón vengan prueben y comprueben mmmmm 😋 una delicia“

“amo las tortas De esta lonchera 😍😍“

“Fresh from the fryer right, ya can't go wrong. They were delicious onto the Chocolate filled no doubt... A must add to ya diet, cheers and love to all!“

“I’m picky when it comes to food, especially bbq. The experience at Roderick’s doesn’t disappoint. They also have a really tasty, and affordable lunch menu. The service is very friendly, which is harder to come by now a days. I strongly recommend you give Roderick’s a try.“

“We went to eat here tonight for the first time and they definitely did not disappoint! We ordered various things tacos, quesadillas, and a pambazo and they were all delicious. The meat was tenders, flavorful, super reasonable prices, and not greasy at all. Everything tasted really good and we will definitely be back!“

“What an incredible treat to experience--AND it's situated conveniently in a residential area for accessibility!

The churros are delicious in their own or with a variety of fillings. My favorite is the caramelo (caramel) filling that's made with goat milk. (It's like dulce de leche but warrrrrm.)

The people who run it are also the owners, which means they're invested in creating a friendly, community atmosphere and gladly cater to special requests.

Be prepared to pay either cash, use Zelle or get cash back from the nearby Mexican grocer. There's no option for card payments!“

“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.“

“My new favorite place to study/chill. The music is the perfect background noise for studying, the coffee is great, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is just a breath of fresh air. In addition to this, not only is the food great but tastes fresh. It doesn’t taste like your traditional coffee shop food that’s been sitting around/frozen waiting for someone to come gamble with their health. Great place to get some studying or work done. Maybe even meet up and chat with a friend. Check them out!“

“As someone who eats aguachiles and tacos in Mexico. La grana fish is the closest thing to it I can get. I can not recommend this place enough!!! The aguachiles rojos and carne asada tacos are so delicious if I had infinite money I would get this weekly. I LOVE THIS PLACE PLS SPONSOR ME“

“One of the best mexican food I’ve ever tasted. I love everything they served! The best comfort food. I hope can visit union city again.“

“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.“

“It's not bad. Tacos de tripas. The tripas are almost on point but just really depends on the person I like them a little bit crunchy.
The only downside really was the portion size and the tortilla was a bit raw it didn't fully heat up. The other downside is the sauces.
The green sauce is not hot nor does it have flavor or salt it's just smushed sauce.
And the red one almost looks like ketchup texture with no flavor either. I could taste more the grease from the taco then the sauces.
Overall I'll say it's a 4 star the first time I showed up I wasn't a fan of it but this was years ago.
Add oil to the tortillas or tortillas all vapor also hits the spot.“

“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.“

“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.“

“You can easily miss this truck tucked away on the corner of a parking lot. They are busy non stop on a Saturday night. They are quick to get you your food though.

The Al Pastor had great flavor with a slight sweetness of pineapple. Pairs well with their salsa, which is neither red or green, but it was delicious. The Asada was good too, with good taste and texture. The Lengua was very tender and went well with the salsa too.

I will def be back to try the other Cortes and horchata. My only suggestions is they should use order numbers or get a name to the order. They read out whole order for pickup and it gets confusing. Would save them and customers time.“

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

“Great food on a great Sunday!“

“Great pizza, reminds me of pizza from New York! ����“

“There are a lottt of taco trucks in the Fruitvale area, and I have to say this is one of the best ones. Affordable, delicious, customer service on point.
I mean come on, you get chips, and pickled jalapeños with your order. Hands down.“

“Son las mejores pupusas del area! Las chicas siempre muy amables 💓💓 los platanitos siempre están riquísimos , suaves y dulces!“

“todo las tortas los tacos burritos #1“

“Love the fresh and delicious food they serve always. Very friendly“

“Gave me a huge burrito, got a birria supreme. Perfect consommé and perfect birria, very quality sauces in good portions aswell. Food came out quick!“

“todos lo k decime ahí es delicioso“

“Good food, but it took 20 minutes just standing around last night waiting to order. Place felt kinda sketchy, too. People begging right at the truck ain't good either. Had like 3 people trying to service 40 customers. It's better to go during the day.“

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

“As of Dec27th, they are gone... Where'd they move to? Are they out of business?

Where do I get my steak fries now? 😭

Edit Dec 28th: I checked their IG and their closed for the holidays. Coming back around new years 🥲“

“Amazing! Simply the best taco truck the whole bay area. I don’t go anywhere else. Best food for my buck!“

“Food is hot. and super delicious“

“? 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!“

“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 ☀️“

“Awesome food made quickly ❤️ super delicious food highly recommended 🥰😍“

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

“Unlike the previous reviewer, I felt perfectly safe while coming here. I parked inside and although I was coming for Mama Cuca, the charm of the staff selling carnitas really called me!Totally Mexico style they offered a free sample and of course I ended up buying a pound of carnitas to take home ?The carnitas are cooked to perfection, tender, tasty, accompanied by fresh tortillas hand made to order. The salsas are great but the real game is in the meat.They told me the nieves truck is the same business, that’s why I am posting here.The lady making tortillas told me they make their own syrups with fresh fruit for the raspados, next time I will come for snacks from that truck.As always, make sure to tip your servers and cooks!! It’s a blessing we can find these delicious fresh dishes at affordable prices ???“

“Best carnitas I’ve had in the bay so far. Super flavorful, and perfect balance of moist but with yummy crunchy bits. Delicious homemade tortillas and amazing salsa. This is a mom and pop shop!! Don’t expect a super fast process, but everyone is super nice and the food quality is 10/10.“

“Tasty tacos and food! You cannot go wrong getting food here on the go! :) They have a couple of food truck so check out the other truck if one happens to close early or isn’t there at that the time.

Staff are super friendly and nice. Would highly recommend this taco truck.“

“Best Food by Chef Jay... Good place for Indian cuisine, If you are craving for Indian food this is the place to be... Best food reasonably priced...“

“Been loving it since they opened! Everything there is awesome! Super burrito al pastor is my fave in town!“

“Great bar and good food trucks out front“

“Smackin. No notes. The rice looked amazing as my burrito was being wrapped up. Some dude came up to the window as I was paying with a joint burning in my face and was so excited to get his super burrito. The moment that happened, I thought “damn this gon be good…”

The super burrito was as long as my arm!!!!! I got the birria regular burrito, but best believe I will come back with a friend to try to the super burrito.“

“The best steak and shrimp fries in town!“

“Great tacos, with perfectly seasoned meat. These tacos are loaded, and not small by any measure. So they're are worth paying a little extra for. They actually give you a hot sauce that is actually blazing hot, and not the watered down stuff a lot of taco trucks are serving these days. They are right next to grocery outlet so the next time you go shopping you can pick up a Taco on the way out, highly recommended!“

“At the corner of third and Webster from 5:30 - 9 am. Super delicious breakfast burrito (so good that I ate the whole thing)! In mine I asked for hash potatoes, avocado, salsa, cilantro, cheese, and jalapeño for $8. They have a nice selection of items to choose from if you’re not into breakfast. You can also call in your order.“
