“An absolute delight - everything was delicious - we look forward to it every weekend!“

“Spent several enjoyable hours at New English Brewery this afternoon. Actually, came here because of wanting to try out “The Craft Taco Truck.” They didn’t disappoint! The guys were friendly, the food was great! Visually appealing and delicious. Highly recommend you seek them out and enjoy an afternoon with them! We’ll definitely be back.“

“Best chicken shawarma wrap I’ve ever had in my life, and the nicest people serving too! Definitely should try this food truck if you are downtown!“

“Food is excellent! 👌 Service is friendly and professional. Taco Tuesday deals are awesome 👍 Food is sooo good!!!!“

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

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

“I saw a post from Stevo so I had to try Rose Marie's Burgers in OB. Sliders & Onion Rings delight! Gourmet Sliders & beer batter rings. Excellent. I had Filet O Mahi & Rosie Single with 1/2 order of Onion rings. Huge order couldn't eat it all in 1 sitting lol. So GO GET SOME!“

“Our server was outstanding, helpful with the new menus and attentive, even though our food did take a while it was delicious when we got it, and she and the manager made sure we felt taken care of the whole time. Great location and nice, friendly and classy ambience.“

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

“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!“

“Have driven by this truck a thousand times but never stopped by until tonight, and we were so happy we did! We’ve been sleeping on this place for way too long. The cabeza, adobada, and birria tacos were all cooked perfectly and the salsas were on point too. Lastly, the carne asada in their California burrito couldn’t have been better. The service was also as friendly as can be, making sure we got everything you need. I think we found our new regular spot. Oh and they might have the best Jamaica.“

“We got fish tacos so tasty so crispy .
Agua Chile tasted like spicy fresh ceviche. Also got surf and turf taco which was really good. The food was so good. I will definitely come back worth it. Service good food good vibes good. Located in the parking lot of target North Park . No bathroom. Get free seafood soup while you wait for your order. Just ask.“

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

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

“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!“

“The best ceviche, octopus tacos & fish tacos in PB! They have daily specials and everything is fresh & fast. The owners are very friendly and have something really special with this place. Do not miss out!!

There are two pull in parking spots and street parking. The smog check station next door will usually let you park there as well.“

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

“amazing! I had their burger which was great! and their coconut shrimp on salad. which both were amazing! the salad dressing was so good. everything must be home made.“

“At Helix Brewing and Sourworx tonight. ordered from the food truck. Senor fries. crisp and tasty. lots of options. friendly service. fair prices. come on down and try them out.“

“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“

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

“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“

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

“This is hands down the best taco spot in San Diego. You really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. The service is quick and the owners are incredibly kind. My favorite is the chorizo con nopales taco, but everything I have tried has been just as good. The affordability makes it even better, with authentic tacos at a great price“

“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!“

“Hands down the tastiest Churros in San Diego!“

“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“

“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“

“me encanto🥰mega recomendados kilos place..y rl servicio genial!“

“Absolutely love the variety of combos. It allows you to have some of everything in one order. Food was hot and freshly served. Thumbs up on the Mac n cheese, candied yams with my order. They ran out of catfish at the days end today otherwise, It would have been my 2nd consecutive order. Also loved the signature taste of the chicken, and the fact that it was very hot and freshly served. I eat more at home than I do out, but many of their items are like home cooked so I will be back! Much love!“

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

“I stopped at AutoZone and saw this mariscos truck outside so I gave it a shot. Glad that I did. Had the smoked marlin taco, and it was amazing with the grilled veggies. Took the gobenador burrito (shrimp with veggies), a delicious ceviche and the oysters, which were surprisingly spicey!“

“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!“

“URBN Pizza catered our rehearsal dinner! They did a amazing job! The food was great and service was perfect! Thank you URBN!“

“El mejor aguachile que he comido en mas de dos años 💜💜💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 gracias Super recomendado Best aguachile I have eaten in more than 2 years 💜💜💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you Super recommended“

“This could possibly be the best California/ San Diego style burrito there is. Absolutely the best I’ve ever had. And I tried one of the Pescado tacos and it was the perfect crisp of the batter but not too much batter and not greasy and the fish inside was fresh tasting and flaky. The slaw had a nice pepper taste to it. It was literally a 10/10 rating.“

“Hands down the best seafood in San Diego

I live in Riverside County, but I go and visit my family in San Diego and we have to hit the spot the big charola for $150 pack the seafood you can go wrong and they give you two big full bags of tostadas in each tostada is 7+ dollars to the math can go wrong 10 out of 10 highly guarantee this spot come check the spot down on the southeast San Diego“

“Located in a corner spot in Mission Hills and it’s street parking only. You order at the window— no indoor seating but there were a couple of benches by the store. No wait on a Tuesday afternoon. It was nice to sit on the bench and enjoy the sun with some ice cream.

They offer cup ($7), cone ($9), or pint ($12). Tried out a few different flavors and I opted to get a split scoop of Lemon Meringue Pie and the Wise Ox (vanilla ice cream with strawberry balsamic and olive oil cake pieces). I thought those two flavors went well together!“

“Best mexican food in san diego ? fast & convenient too!Edit: Did a catering order for 25 people and they went above and beyond! Not only was it last minute and they were able to deliver but everything was warm and delicious due to their set up. We thank you!“

“Legitimately the best food I’ve had in San Diego in a minute. Perfect tacos that balance acidity, spiciness, fat and salt. Everything on the menu is delicious, and there is a patio in the back of the parking lot to enjoy it all. Can’t recommend higher.“

“First time having BBQ at Bowlegged BBQ. portion are large had the Ribs , Mac n Cheese, Coleslaw, Sweet Corn Bread. Ribs were so good, Coleslaw was refreshing but had a little kit of spice ? ?, Mac n Cheese was also good. The sweet corn bread was so amazingly delicious that I never had one so sweet n moist like the one I had at this place. Defently recommend this place and will come back.“

“Best TACOS in Sorrento Valley! Please stop by so they’ll stay in the area!“

“They came to the apartment complex I live in and i honestly can’t think of better wings, you can taste the freshness and they have a ton of sauce options, their fries are also really good and cooked perfectly, they also have a vegan option with cauliflower“

“Fresh seafood prepared just right!! Not only does their food taste great but they have excellent customer service! Their staff is friendly and courteous and their location is perfect!! Definitely give them a try! You will not regret it!!“

“Tiene todo lo que uno nesecjta para organizar los eventos !!“

“Nos Encantó! Delicious food, clean, fast, and great price! Definitely coming back!“

“This food truck is parked in front of Sol Market I have been eating here for a couple of years, normally you always find parking in this place.

This food truck has a very peculiar style in its dishes and an authentic taste

This time I ordered

- Volcán roll
- Yakimeshi special with beef
(Delicious)
- Camarones roca
- Shrimp Chile huero popper
- Sushi bola ( delicious)
- Mango roll
- Teriyaki trio mix

Keep in mind that the moment you order, everyone is preparing it at the moment, so that takes time.

I recommend that you call in advance to order and also keep in mind that there are more orders and it is possible that they will still take a while.

Regarding the prices, they are normal. In fact I can tell you that it seems a little cheap to me, since the amount of the portion of each dish is quite large.

Payment cash only for the moment“
