50 Best Food Trucks in San Diego

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“Absolutely great experience and food was delicious. Highly recommend, they got 4 different salsas! After being stationed overseas for a few years, this place def hit the spot. I got the elote en vaso with everything , carne asada tacos and a birria taco, will be getting again.“

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

“Although it is a food truck in a parking lot, I have it 5 stars for atmosphere because it is what is expected. nothing more, nothing less. The food never disappoints, and they go above and beyond to make sure you get and like what you order. Have been back and will be back again and again.“

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

“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!“

“We stayed at an Air BnB down the street and I ordered take-out from this place. we got 2 orders of sliders, one with just ketchup and cheese for the kids, and my wife and I shared an order. I dont remember what burger I got but it was the best burger I've had in years! we will definitely be going here again nextvrine we are in town. Also, the young lady running the restaurant that night was truly amazing at her job. I watched her zip all over the place multitasking. It was quite impressive.“

“I'm so glad that The Funky Frenchie opened in Lemon Grove!! I've eaten here 2 times now and will keep coming back! The first time I had the breakfast bowl which was delicious and very filling. The 2nd time I got the Chicken and Woofles and they were willing to substitute eggs instead of the chicken since I'm a vegetarian with no hassle. DELICIOUS!!! The woofles are perfectly done with crisp edges and a soft fluffy inside. Absolutely will be back for this dish again!! And I must give a shout-out to the owner, Brandon! He's awesome!! 😀“

“Been enjoying gourmet crème brûlée from The Brûlée Bar for years. We love the creativity and flavors they come up with. And the prices are good as well. Don’t miss an opportunity to try them at your local farmers market.“

“I am a ceviche connoisseur. I’ve had ceviche from so many different restaurants and locations. This is hands down the best shrimp ceviche I’ve ever had and that says a lot coming from me. 10000000/10. Chefs kiss. Keep doing what you’re doing el cevichero“

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

“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.“

“When you’re from out of town and you drive into an empty (pretty much abandoned) parking lot, you start to wonder about your dining choices. But this was a great spot. It’s a trailer at the edge of this lot, serving up some great eats. I got the birria tacos and these were amazing. Well seasoned meat and the crunch on the shell was 🤯. I’d imagine if you got this to go, the shell might be a bit soft but eating it on the spot was the right choice. Definitely check this out!“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Hands down the tastiest Churros in San Diego!“

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

“clamato is really good. buy some beer at liquor store next door and mix 💣. food is really good, big portions.“

“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!“

“It's a food truck with out door seating under a canopy on a busy street in front of the Auto Zone. Quick bites. Fish tacos were really good $3.50 each although I had to ask for the consome soup, they didn't offer it automatically as other spots fo when you order fish tacos . They didn't have a condiment fridge either, so whatever you get on your tacos is all you get, Mayo, cabbage and pico de gallo. The salsas they had were all flavorful and paired well with the tacos. My only complaint is when I approached they took a bit to attend to me as they were having a conversation. I placed my order with the man, and then the women came to the window asking what I ordered. Although the tacos were good, probably wouldn't come again and fonto my usual spot on 31st and Oceanview at Guilles Mariscos food truck which happened to be closed today where they give you a larger cup of the consome soup with your order and have the condiment bar at your disposal.“

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

“Wow! Awesome fish tacos. Liked the 2 fish per taco. The hot sauce is also awesome.“

“We had a lovely time and excellent dinner . Rustic bread and the mascarpone stuffed meatball on a bed of luscious polenta let us know we were in for a very delicous and special dinner. The king salmon and lamb entrees were a 10! We topped off our evening with coconut cake and chocolate mousse cake . Both were wonderful. Great service (thanks to Carla) will have us dining at Piedra Santa again soon.“

“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“

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

“I heard about about this taco truck located in clairemont/san diego on social media.
Today (9-30-26),
I ordered 4-Carne Asada Street Tacos with Guacamole and Cilantro
(no onions/my personal preference).
The Carne Asada Tacos Were DELICIOUS!! 😋
*Price per Street Taco: $3.25
However....
The Street Tacos Are Very Small.
(approx 2 inches long)“

“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!“

“Ultimate Mexican seafood! Such a hidden gem! The fish tacos are all time…. But honestly there’s nothing bad on the menu. I don’t want this secret to get out but the owner is so cool and food is so good he deserves the recognition.“

“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“

“I hired Mangia Mangia to cater a private lunch at our estate for 75 people and it was absolutely delicious! Matt and his team were professional, on time, courteous, and made sure everyone was taken care of. My guests raved about the food. We will definitely use them again! Thank you so much Matt and team!“

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

“We had the most awesome experience with Athena from Sweet Treats!!! We were having a neighborhood block party for my son’s 5th birthday and I wanted to add a little fun since all the kids in the neighborhood were also kicking off their spring break. The ice cream motorcycle sidecar was available and what a hit it was!! Athena drove into our cul de sac with the music playing, everyone was so excited as soon as they heard the music.... then they saw it was coming from a motorcycle ice cream sidecar!!! One of the coolest experiences and what a treat for the kiddos AND parents! Can’t wait to book again!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Mexican style seafood, seafood tacos, and all other tacos are STELLAR! I would go as far as to say, best food truck in SD!“

“Beautiful han make tortilla tacos 🤤“
