Was in a hurry and the kids wanted a taco snack. They didn't disappoint. Very flavorfull and even made a plain corn quesdilla requested by the little one. Thanks

Solid steak burrito and tostadas were surprisingly good. Also , nice plus that they give you a few chips with your burrito. Although Chicken was a little bland.

My mother in law liked her burrito, my children ate their cheese quesadilla, and I had a bbq pork taco and a beef taco.Both tacos weren't bad, but the oil or liquidy sauce from the bbq pork seeped through both thin plates the tacos were put on.We also got a churro, but it was super hard and crunchy(not soft on the inside either).With every bite, pieces of the churro would fall off in large flakes.I do wish they had horchata, but that's not a big deal.

Ordered lunch here through Uber Eats. I bought two super burritos that should have come with salsa, sour cream, beans, cheese, rice and meat. When I received my burritos all I see was meat, rice and a tablespoon of beans. Where's my cheese, salsa and sour cream?! Taco Bell has a bigger burrito. Probably, the same size as a supermarket frozen burrito. Why would this place try to rip me off when all I am trying to do is support your small business during Covid 19? WTF!? I can't believe this. All I can say is BUYER BEWARE.

I've been coming here since I was really little and I always loved their tacos. It was close to my house so I went often. They used to sell tacos for 1$ and they were really good with juicy meat. Then as years went on, the prices increased and the quality diminished. They are at a 1.50$ price point per taco now and I just went today to see if they are any good still and I was greeted by the lady with attitude and presumes to make me wait 15 minutes to take my order even though there was only one other person there. She eventually takes it and I wait about 5 minutes for my tacos to be ready. I take them home and sit down to eat. Open tinfoil and was amazed the tacos literally looked like they had a half spoonful of meat and they just overlapped the tortillas to make it look flush. So disappointed ate the tacos and it was 80% tortilla and 10% meat and 10% sauce. Go to Fluffy's Kitchen it's a block away and they stuff tacos with meat. And have amazing customer service (oh yeah they also take debit and credit ca Update: they are now $2 dollars a taco

I was impressed by their carne asada tacos, personally I think they're better than the Mexican restaurants in San Bruno. The tacos are always prepared fresh, the meatis seasoned well and the green mild salsa tastes good. Can't complain this truck is a winner and I'm glad it's here when I want some good tacos!

Great flavor. I had 3 carne asada tacos. Came with onion and cilantro. I added rice. My husband has a chicken super burrito. Fast and friendly service. We also had a drink and it came to $16.

Tried this taco truck because my regular taco truck was blow'd up. I went with 5 spicy al pastor tacos and it was a good choice. The tacos had a decent amount of heat to them, but not so hot where I felt like I had a charcoal briquette. For these types of tacos I want simplicity: a slight crispiness to the tortilla, spicy meat, onions and cilantro. Then, a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt. This truck does the job well and I will be back.

Came here for lunch at Spark and I'd say this place is not bad. I can't say it's the best I've been to since it only serves the standard meals (burritos, tacos, tortas, and platos) with pork, chicken, and beef options (nothing fancy like shrimp or fish tacos unfortunately). While the servings were pretty small compared to those found in places in the mission (i.e., tacqueria vallarta), I ended up being pretty full for only $9. My thoughts on my carnitas plate: 1) ingredients tasted and looked fresh which is nice but probably because they don't leave anything (not even sauce) out for people to help themselves to 2)guac serving is small, kind of watery, and has a cucumber-y taste to it 3) tortillas were more fried than pan-heated 4) carnitas were crunchy and juicy and tender at the same time. They definitely have the flavors down. 5) rice is very fluffy :) (not too hard, not too sticky) 6) the salad dressing is very sparse but refreshing Overall a decent experience. I'd come here to grab lunch again and try their other meats.

The best taco ! I just tried this place about a month ago and they are awesome. Their price is amazing! Regular tacos 2$, Super burrito 8$ wow! I wasn't disappointed that found this place. I had lingua taco and carnitas nachos,both were excellent. All ingredients were so fresh and meat was tender I come back very soon.

The food's pretty legit and I'll be happy to grab lunch from Tacos El Tuca the next time I chance upon them. To be fair I ordered one of the most Gringo of menu items... cheese quesadilla + carnitas but it was delicious and satisfying. The carnitas were moist and really flavorful - nice balance of savory and spice. It just worked really well with the melted cheese. Also really easy to eat with one hand if you need to multitask while having lunch. I didn't get salsa though which had to be an oversight or perhaps I was supposed to get it myself somewhere in the truck? The acidity from a salsa would have been the perfect thing to cut though all the richness of the quesadilla. Oh and something to dip my tortilla chips in. Prices are reasonable and they are also really quick and efficient which is great if you're in a lunchtime rush. I'll gladly come back. Oh and they do burrito bowls too!

I purchased 1 super burrito at this food truck Tuesday May 17th for $8 at SFGH I now have 3 burritos charged to my credit card and when I call their phone it says they can't accept phone calls. At the time the cashier stated he cancelled the over charge. Needless to say now I have a hassle to get my money back...

I have been driving by this truck for a couple of weeks now. It parks in the same spot as El Tuca used too. I ordered 4 carne asada tacos and I was impressed . The meat was so tender and seasoned really good also the tortillas he uses is really good not the cheap yellow ones. Lol. His truck is very clean and has a lot of new appliances. I can't wait to go back and try his burritos.
