Taco Restaurants near San Carlos

“I was at an event up the street but they weren’t going to serve food for another 2 hours. So I walked up the street and found this place. I got a super burrito and it may have been the biggest and best burrito I’ve ever had. Absolutely amazing flavor! Later I saw the remarkably average food they served at my event and was so happy I could skip that food since the super burrito was tasty and filling and made me happy.“

“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“

“Bless this Jack in the box location for its employees. They’re always providing such great service with speed and a smile. Coming here is my guilty pleasure. For me and my friends, it’s a weekday night getaway here in the burbs. Always looking forward to my next visit“

“The amount of meat you get per taco is generous and the tortillas are so fresh and fluffy! There 5 different kinds of salsa and all of them were delicious. I tried three meats this time—shrimp, tripe, and pastor—and all of them were great. Can’t wait to go back and try the other types!“

“Great tacos al pastor in town 👍🏻😋“

“Hidden gem on El Camino! I stopped by S El Camino Taqueria on a whim and was shocked the place was empty—this spot deserves way more traffic.

I had the carne asada burrito and every single bite was on point. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled—no weird chewy pieces or filler, just quality carne asada. The ingredients tasted super fresh and well-balanced, like they actually care about what they’re serving.

Bonus points for the salsa bar—especially the avocado salsa verde. Creamy, tangy, a little spicy, and absolutely addictive. I could’ve put that on everything.

Will definitely be back. This place is seriously underrated.“

“This review is long overdue! I’ve walked by this truck for a while and finally decided to try it out about a month or 2 ago. I’ve been eating here more than any other place since then! The food is fresh and delicious. You can’t beat the price and the owner is incredibly nice and helpful. I’m glad I’ve found a nice place to eat that’s conveniently located. I hope they stay for a long time!“

“Teleported. Now I’m in Mexico. She’s making a tortilla for me live. They are hot. They are fresh. That’s the kind of service that leapfrogs the tier and dollar sign that this place is. Ordered a carnitas burrito and a carnitas super plate. Both were amazing. Fed two adults and three kids. There is so much meat. I highly recommend this place as the best taco in the Menlo Park Palo Alto area.“

“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.“

“This is by far thee best spot for the most delicious and authentic Mexican food around hands down the best in the business the staff and super nice and their prices are great! The tostadas de ceviche, chile relleno burrito and birria ramen are just some of the crowd favorites too much to list I highly recommend them give them a try it’s a must!!!!“

“These tacos are super Yummy 😋 as a local I definitely recommend. The best tacos in the area🌮‼️‼️“

“Wonderful Brazilian parmigiana. Sabor brasileiro autêntico!“

“Was greeted & seated promptly. Welcomed by Manager Hung. Brittany was our waitress & we received the 20th Anniversary Sacks. Happy Anniversary.“

“The best Al pastor I’ve had in the Bay Area! I’m from LA and miss the street tacos at every corner but this place definitely scratches that itch. They grill their burritos and fill them with the perfect amount of each ingredient. I keep coming back!“

“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.“

“Do you love going to Flavortown? How about dreaming with your eyes open? Then try these birria tacos. The first time I had it was from leftovers that my daughter brought home for lunch. Then I drove from Oakley to San Mateo to have them fresh. It was AMAZING! They provide extra stuff to add to the tacos, but it honestly didn’t need them. The meat was so tender & flavorful that I had to close my eyes so I could fully appreciate the taste. Then I added the extras one by one & it tasted like a new taco each time. I know it seems like I’m exaggerating, but it’s really that good! My only wish is that they had seating nearby & a second location closer to Oakley.“

“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.“

“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.“

“caldo de res delicioso. wooo Diosbles diga bendiciendo su negocio siempre siempre buscaba un buen caldo y lo encontré aquiii.“

“Came for the camarones a la diabla (“Devil’s Shrimp”), which they don’t have on the menu but are happy to make it for you. I actually enjoy theirs more than El Farolito! Also HIGHLY recommend their pastor tacos. Their salsa is top-notch, which I am very picky about. So lucky I live two minutes away!

Parking: Park behind if you can’t find on street.“

“Was driving by and saw this truck. Never tried it before and never heard of it! The cashier at the truck didn't speak any English and was talking to me in Spanish. I simply showed her 2 of my fingers and said, " 2 cabeza y 2 al pastor". I'll give it a try why not!10 minutes later,a plate of hot tacos came out. I paid 2 dollars per taco for a total of 8 dollars. Sat on thr bench and gobbled those delicious tacos down!Cabeza was not too dry and had right amount of aromatic flavor. Al pastor was a little bit spicy. Lots of construction workers were coming as I left. I think I will be back!“

“Great food! Sketchy back alley entrance but great service.“

“A burrito on the level of gourmet, made-to-order with protein of choice, griddled brown. The al pastor, unique in its seasoning — a bit Middle Eastern in spice, harking to its origins.

Serving construction workers and truck drivers alike, this roadside taco truck clearly gets something right.

Just a few hundred feet from the 101-S Seaport Blvd exit, perfect for a quick pit stop while commuting.“

“The Food...it's absolutely delicious! Among our Favorites are the Quesa-Birria!!! Yum! A unique country flavor, w cheese melting...the Pozole, Birria, and Menudo run out each and Every weekend! Fir the good Abd bad, as too many times, we arrive too late! Lol“
