38 Best Food Trucks near San Carlos

“You can tell the birria here was made by someone who cares about flavor and tradition. It’s not rushed, it’s not bland it’s balanced, bold, and beautifully executed. Portion sizes are great, the food comes out hot, and every bite feels intentional.
If you only order one thing from Ramo’s Food Truck, make it the birria.
It’s comforting, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of heart you rarely find.
10/10 Just incredible birria“

“Tried 4 tacos, Asada, Pollo, Pastor, Carnitas. Carnitas was the winner, decent portion, decent price, convenient location, easy parking today but I can see it being challenging. Good pickled peppers and carrots on the plate. Good, solid paper plate and foil. Could use some flavorful salsa and a fork for the bits.“

“I live at the top of the road and I passed this for a year. I thought it was there because we have had a ton of construction on the road. Thought I’d give it a try… oh sweet baby Jesus I’m glad I did. The tortillas are made from SCRATCH!!!!! The meat is not grease the flavor is a chefs kiss amazing. Tacos are $3 a piece, that’s all I’ve tried but the my dying to try more. They have burritos and tortas. Def give this truck a taste you won’t be disappointed.

Parking: It’s a dirt lot“

“Great people and great food. There’s events every night. So fun“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent Food & Great Quality

Watani Spot serves some of the best, clean, and delicious food. I had the Nahrin Baghlan Kebab—a perfect mix of juicy beef and tender chicken kebab with fresh salad, warm bread, beans, and crispy fries. Everything was well-seasoned, fresh, and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the quality and care.

Highly recommended! 🌟“

“The smash burger was great and similar to what you would expect. However, the beef patty could use some additional salt. Also, when I asked for the special sauce, it was served with mayonnaise. I think the flavor would be more enhanced with the special sauce.“

“Great food and excellent service“

“Very tasty and reasonably priced food. The owner and chef Amir is an amazing guy who always makes you feel welcomed and is very dedicated towards his craft.“

“It's a food truck which I didn't realize until I got there. But totally worth it.

Truly amazing food and salsas. Specifically, the food tasted fresh and natural. It's not just a bunch of salty, greasy ingredients thrown together - this place uses a lot of fresh variety of meats and vegetables. Home made tortillas too.

Eating in my car was not part of my original plan, but I'll do it anytime to to eat here. The food here really stands out, I'm excited to eat here again.“

“Got the super tacos and the Ramen. The beef taco was just insane. The flavor of the beef was unmatched. The soup was just as incredible. I dumped my remaining sauce from the super tacos into it and it just melted in my mouth with that fall apart beef. BEST damn Ramen I've ever had.“

“Support small businesses!

Where you can find quality handcrafted food. I loved everything I’d ordered. From dim sum, milk tea, white sauce, marinated pork ribs and chicken feet, baked egg custard, to specialty traditional Hong Konger soup of the day!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have experience this taste again, I left HK back in 2006. This place tasted like home, my childhood, I wonder if they are from Kwun Tong too!

Thank you Hongry Kong for delivering amazing memories to me. I had already placed my second order. Spread the word out, hope you continues with success!“

“Love the chicken pupusa! It’s my favorite food truck in Redwood City“

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋“

“I recommend Tacos Y MARISCOS El GORDO because of their yummy delicious SHRIMP tacos are my favorite plus I’ve had their Quesadilla and Mexican style shrimp cocktail… I like the fact that their children whom are teenagers work part time whom are polite and friendly like their parents“

“The chorizo was delicious and so were the pastor tacos! I ate there twice in one day it was so good!!! Very affordable too.“

“Owner is very nice service is great! 7 hours later I’m not sick. I love tacos and I am in a mission finding good tacos in San Mateo county but this is not it. I’m so sorry. I think the reason most people like it and this has good reviews is just because they’re so starving waiting at DMV I am a very honest reviewer. Here are my reasons why…
- the salsa is not spicy
- the salsa is very thick
- the salsa was slimy
- the meat taste spoiled
- my daughter didn’t like it lol

Positive the tortilla was good owner was nice and didn’t get sick
:/ I’m hungry still“

“LOVE coming here!!
The gentleman that takes the order and payment is very kind and the food is extremely delicious.
I visit Olivia's on special occasions but it would be heaven to come here everyday!
Many thanks Olivia's!!

“OLHSO Truck isn’t just a food truck—it’s a fully automated robotic kitchen on wheels. Fresh ingredients are prepped daily by human chefs, but the actual cooking is done by a high-tech robot loaded with Chef Han’s perfected recipes. Once an order is placed, the truck’s system stir-fries everything while en route, so the food is piping hot and fresh just minutes before arrival.

For something made entirely by a machine, the food is impressively flavorful and well-executed.

Wagyu – Boneless wagyu short ribs marinated in a rich house sauce, stir-fried with fresh veggies. The meat is tender, packed with umami, and perfectly caramelized.

Dak Galbi – Chicken stir-fried in a gochujang-based spicy sauce with plenty of chewy rice cakes. The heat is customizable, but the deep, smoky flavor always shines.

SEOUL Food – A bold combination of kimchi, pork belly, soybean paste, and shrimp, all stir-fried together for layers of intense, savory flavor.

Japchae – Glass noodles tossed with mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and a sweet-savory soy sauce. Light yet satisfying.

Orders are placed through their app, and the robotic kitchen times the cooking process to ensure food arrives fresh—not sitting in a takeout container for half an hour. The whole concept is futuristic and efficient, and for a meal made entirely by a robot, the taste is surprisingly impressive.“

“Good food taste and great service.“

“Great food menu & fast service“

“los mejores tacos los recomiendo🤤“

“Best Chile Verde I have had in years! Excellent food, friendly staff, and pleasant setting.“

“Zoom Caffe, highly recommend! 5 � coffee and great eats!“

“You didn't know this before but if you like lunch or enjoy food you should eat here.

First time diner, long time consumer. I made a rookie mistake while ordering the vegetarian sandwich on sourdough. French or dutch crunch roll is recommended. Said I was open to suggestions. Then we added avocado, fresh jalapeno, tapatio, and a side of fries.

I ate half the fries and the smaller cut of the sandwich. I'm excited to be hungry again in about two hours.“

“Excelente atención los tacos 🌮 de pastor y zuadero riquísimo el agua de horchata riquísima 100%recomendado“

“The Bay Area has some of the fiercest competitive markets for Americanized Mexican food in the world. Of the many fine burrito-centric establishments I have tried here, Alva's is one of the best.

In other words, you can step up to a truck and minutes later be enjoying literally one of the best burritos in the world. Truly a silver lining of the modern world.

Bonus: Quesabirria and churros on demand.“

“Amazing food! I go here twice a week probably and they even remember my name now. It’s all really good so I switch it up. The buche is unusual so I like to get that and it’s very fresh . Very nice people and clean. My go to is 4 Asada tacos with a chile on the side. You won’t regret making this place a new favorite.“

“Fresh delicious pupusas and tasty, good sized burritos at a reasonable price.“

“muy rico todo completamente familiar puede divertirse y se siente como en su casa muy rico todo muy buena atencion recomendadisimo“

“Absolutely delicious food. Daniel knows how to make the most flavorful, juicy, and authentic tacos I've had. It's a food truck parked on Woodside Road next to the Safeway parking lot. The Crispy Barbacoa tacos are to die for. They're served with fresh salsas and consome to dip your tacos into. Support this restaurant and enjoy.“

“Highly recommended. A great place to have comfort food. I had the best quesadilla I've ever had! A very clean place. Family operated. Can speak English and accept phone payments. The to-go containers are recyclable. Clean tables with shade to eat next to the truck. conveniently located on University Avenue next to Shell gas station. If you happen to pass the station while going toward Dumbarton Bridge 84, I highly recommend stopping by. Even if you are not hungry take it home or to work. I guarantee you will like it and come back. Very nice and friendly staff. I'm planning to try their other foods and report.“

“Is a nice looking a little street food cart. Plenty of parking. Food is great, I have to wait a while but at the end is worth, everything is made while you ordered, so I have to wait a little bit more. Ceviche tostada it was perfect, huarache it was very good made with fresh dough, not frozen and oily. They also serve tacos with homemade tortilla, burritos and quesabirrias. If you looking for real fresh street mexican food, I highly recommend this place. Price is in range.“

“This is my favorite spot for Mexican style seafood aka mariscos! So fresh and amazing ceviche and aguachile! The shrimp are just as amazing!“

“My favorite dinner is barbecued pork ribs and baked beans from Capelo's. I've been to St. Louis and other so-called barbecue restaurants in the Bay Area, but none compete with the ribs that Castro and the boys offer on a daily basis. I don't know how they do it, but for me, the meat tells the story and one doesn't need either of the several sauces they provide.
Their online ordering is straight-forward, their prices are excellent, and I have been the beneficiary of party ordering from offspring in Arizona.
And by the way, parking is rarely an issue !

“Just my luck of a day !

And their iced coffee just made it the best meal ever!! Will defenitly be stopping by more often .. come and stop by at El Chilango food truck!!“

“Platillos para todos tipos de eventos.“

“I recently grabbed lunch at a local taco truck, and the experience was delightful. The carne asada tacos were flavorful, and the spicy salsa added a nice kick. The staff was friendly, making the visit enjoyable. However, the tacos were priced at $3 each, which seemed a bit high for a food truck. Despite this, the quality of the food made it worthwhile“

“La comida que preparan es buena, me encantó la quesadilla de camarón el servicio que te dan esta bien y volveré para probar más cosas. Lo recomiendo“
